When Ruby’s place of business needs some repairs she never expected that the contractor she hired to do the repairs would be her first and only love and that his reappearance in her life would not only bring up the past but also a secret she never expected to share.

Joshua fell in love with Ruby when they were in high school until circumstances conspired to tear them apart. Now that she is back in his life he isn’t about to let anyone or anything come between them especially when he finds out what happened more than a decade earlier.

Ruby is strong and independent so although she doesn’t need Joshua in her life there is no denying she wants him in her life while Joshua isn’t about to repeat the mistakes of the past and is determined to create a life and family with the woman who has always owned his heart. I listened to an audio copy of the book and the narrators were a perfect choice for the personalities of the characters as they brought this story to life. 🎧 Audiobook Obsession

This is such a good series! I love each of the women we have followed so far, but I honestly think Ruby is my favorite. The owner of Ruby’s Lounge, she has continued her mother’s business with success and finesse. She is currently in need of a quote for some plumbing work that needs to be done, and who should show up to give her one, but he boy that broke her heart. Joshua left for college and never reached out again to her but now he has returned and is on a mission. He plans on getting the woman back. But is she willing to put her feelings back out there, especially now? And what will happen when the two actually find out the truth to their teenage demise? I loved this story for a couple of reasons. I love strong women and Ruby is perfect role model. She is a wonderful boss and puts the needs and privacy of her clients first. Joshua is swoony, and it’s easy to see why Ruby fell for him. This second chance at love is exciting and fun! And we also get a quick look at Layla, the latest in the UCC women. She comes with secrets, and I can’t wait to see where she takes us!

Blake Lockheart and Raquel Beattie are a perfect fit for this story. Lockheart is a favorite of mine and understands Joshua giving him the voice and nuances to make him believable. Beattie is a new narrator to me. I loved her voice. It has a richness that easy to listen to and made for a great performance. This is a great team and made for a fun narration.

Loving this romance series!

Discarded is book three in the UCC Saga and is Ruby's story. Ruby is the owner of Ruby's Lounge, which is a secret establishment of sorts and she is a tough and fierce businesswoman. She has been keeping a secret for a very long time, and her world is upended one day when the contractor she calls for help with the lounge's plumbing just so happens to be someone very important from her past.

I have been thoroughly impressed with this author and this series and so happy I found it. I have been listening to the audiobooks which are fantastic and they keep getting better and better as the series goes on. I loved that this book had a little bit more of a serious tone and a bit more depth both in character development and story line. I really liked Joshua. From the minute he burst back into Ruby's life, he went after what he wanted, no holds barred, and you can't fault a guy for that. They had some great chemistry and I was very much rooting for their happily ever after.

There were some new character introductions as well as some of the familiar ladies of the UCC in the book. I found Discarded to be very engaging and enjoyable and would definitely recommend it! Blake Lockheart and Raquel Beattie did a wonderful job with the narration of this story and I would highly recommend them both. #PinkFlamingoProductions #TheFlock

Great Second Chance Romance!!!!

This series keeps getting better.

First of all, this time, we get a full background story for both main characters, and they even interact a lot with side characters who are way more defined. Definitely an improvement. It helps with relating with them and their struggles.

Though there are a few sexy scenes–and Ruby literally manages a sex club–this book is far from being erotica. Ruby and Joshua’s attraction for each other is as strong as with the previous couples, but there’s something more between them. Namely, a little girl. That makes for more emotional moments. The child is also at the center of most of their struggles, from Joshua missing her childhood, to the reason he and Ruby were kept apart, to the problem with Ruby’s job. Well though out.

Joshua and Ruby are surrounded by many people, from their family to their coworkers, and they’re all much more than just cardboard characters. Some bring humor, other are here to help or threaten their relationship. There’s also a real attempt at diversity, with disabled characters, characters from various origins or religions, queer characters… including the main characters.

It isn’t a political piece though, and the romance is very much the focus. It was a cute second chance, with Joshua trying to find his place as a father, and Ruby slowly giving it to him. Sweet seduction until the grande finale.

The narration too was better, because both narrators had the same energy, and their voices matched. They were both good too, which made Joshua and Ruby’s story even better.

This series keeps getting better

Discarded by Eva LeNoir is a second chance romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Blake Lockheart and Raquel Beattie. This is the third book in the UCC Saga series and can be read as a standalone. the stories are inter-connected but follow a different couple.

This is the first series of Eva's that I have read and it won't be my last. I liked the relationship between Joshua and Ruby. I really enjoyed getting both of their points of view throughout the book.

Blake and Raquel did a great job on the narration. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you like second chance romances or contemporary romances.
