My time was spent either teaching at school or reading at home.
Both of which contributed to the “spinster” rumors going around.

This is a really great small town second chance romance. I loved the story. It is short sweet and too the point. The characters were lovely! Mary who is the bf of was a great secondary character. As for Travis and Sophie I could completely feel their connection! When they first meet and just stand basically staring at each other not even realizing they aren’t talking. Awesome!
I did listen to this on audio. The narrators did a wonderful job being articulate and doing all the different voices. This is a first time author for me. Her story moved right along and I loved that I could feel for the characters. I would read her again.
I loved Travis and Sophie’s story , I thought it was sad for them how things ended and they had to go so long without each other. I also loved how Travis decided what he wanted and went for it and I really enjoyed Sophie’s sweet personality.
A book about second chances and how an accident can lead you to the perfect place at the perfect time. I loved watching these two fall and the family was so fun to listen to. A great listen, especially since the narration was done so beautifully.
Burnt is a sweet single dad, second chance, small town romance. I listened to the audible version of this novel. The narrators Juliana Solo, Daniel James Lewis did a good job with the narration. Their voices blended well together and they brought the characters to life. I enjoyed listening to them.
That being said the story itself fell a bit flat at certain times. There were a couple steamy scenes and a slight hint of a mystery that was soon resolved. I did not really like Sophie as she felt a bit immature to me but I did like Travis and his dedication to his daughter. However I did not really feel the connection between these two as a couple.
If you are looking for a story with no angst or drama, this is the one for you.

Audio Review
Travis is back In his hometown to settle his estranged fathers estate and this could be the break he needs after getting hurt on his job as a firefighter he needs to re-evaluate the life he has with his 12 year old daughter maybe a move home to be closer to his mum is just what he needs but will that change when he realises the girl that broke his heart is still in town……
Sophie choose her education and career over Travis 12 years ago but that doesn’t mean she ever stopped loving him in fact she has spent her life waiting for him to come back home. Will Travis give her a second chance or will he be the one to walk away this time ……….
Mention a single dad and I’m the first in line to read or in this case listen add in second chance romance and that’s a win win for me but this had an added bonus because Lacy Hart is a new author to me and as I’m relatively new to audio the narrators Juliano Solo and Daniel James Lewis were also new but after listening to Burnt I will be checking out more from the author and the narrators. This sweet romance was well written and narrated.

4 star review of Burnt by Lacy Hart
I love the Single dad romance genre so I was eager to listen to Burnt by new to me author Lacy Hart and narrators Juliana Solo and Daniel James Lewis. Add in the fact that it was a second chance at love story and I was ready to dive in.
This was a sweet romance that burned very slowly. In fact it took 14 years to burst into flames. Travis and Sophie were an item in college, that was before he decided to leave and pursue a career as a fire fighter.
Fast forward 14 years and now Travis is the father to a 12 year old daughter who was recently injured in a horrific fire that claimed the life of his best friend. He has struggled to overcome the injuries he sustained and has been fighting against retiring from the job he loved.
When a phone call form him home town calls him back, they return to his hometown. Imagine his shock when he finds out that Sophie returned home all those years ago. She is now a teacher at the local middle school.
Neither Travis or Sophie have ever asked after one another for fear of learning that they had moved on. Sophie is a 32 year old virgin who never got over losing her first love. When she realises that Travis has returned she sets out to re connect with him, to see if the sparks are still there.
This was a sweet romance, that took a while to heat up but once it did it snow balled. I enjoyed the story and will be looking for more form this author. Once they re connected it was like they had never been a part .
The narration by Juliana Solo and Daniel James Lewis is good, although I didn’t get as much of an emotional connection from the male narrator as I did the female.
This was a sweet romance, that took a while to heat up but once it did it snow balled. I enjoyed the story and will be looking for more form this author. I did feel that the story ended rather suddenly once they finally got together but then perhaps there are plans for an additional book?
