Sometimes things are not as perfect as they seem…

What do you do when your world falls apart?

A feisty red head and her overprotective husband find common ground, which makes them the picture-perfect couple. Despite what’s going on around them, their marriage stays strong and they couldn’t be more in love, but when life becomes messy, they aren’t sure how to handle it.

Avery has a life most women only dream of. She has a sexy husband, a child she never expected, and her dream career. With Evan by her side, she can handle anything, but what happens when someone tries to stand in their way?

Evan never imagined being so content. He wouldn’t change a thing about the life he has built with Avery. The love for his wife intensifies every day, but one misunderstanding brings their flawless marriage to a screeching halt. Can he make his wife understand that his feelings for her are stronger than she realizes? And is their love strong enough to weather the storm?

I LOVE Avery and Evan! Relationship goals! Seriously, these two are so stinking cute! It's hard to write a couple that are already established and make any issues that arise seem believable but SE Roberts does this perfectly. Another great addition to this series. I can't wait for more.

What can I say about Renewed that hasn't already been said...it was AWEMAZING!!! I loved Evan and Avery and their banter, but no matter how strong a relationship seems, there is always something that can bring it to it's knees....and that's exactly what happened with Evan and Avery. They were so happy, and so oblivious to any potential dangers....until it happened, it opened some eyes to issues of trust...or maybe a lack there of, and how quickly one is to believe possibly the worst of someone they claim to love....I went through every emotion possible with this book, I wanted to smack both Evan and Avery at times, they are both so stubborn!! Then something happens, and it kinda forces Evan and Avery together....will that be a good thing, or will they decide to part ways for good?? You'll just have to read Renewed to find out, I am for sure recommending this book....and I can't wait to read more from S.E. Roberts!!

Evan and Avery’s story is unexpected. Two people very much in love who experience challenges in their marriage. What I love about this story is that this couple experiences real life challenges that other couples do experience. To overcome these challenges they must reach deep down to find their strong love for each other. This book has one of my favorite epilogues and so glad they got their HEA and extra love in their home.

Revived brought me to Renewed and I have to say these books were the best. These books hit home to me in many ways. I loved this book as it was like reality of life. The love, the emotions, the tragedies, and family bonding keep you turning pages. I cried so many times but didn't stop because you are on edge wanting to find out what will happen next. I laughed many times. I was mad at times and hoped that all would work out. I loved the plot of how Avery and Evan are like the perfect happy married couple but when the story takes it's turns and twists, the one thought in your mind is can they make it work? The family is there for them both which is amazing. You definitely have to read this book, but read Revived first so you know the characters. This book is definitely higher than a 5 star!!! Thank you S.E. Roberts this book touched my heart and my emotions.

Wow. SE has done it again. She made me laugh, she made me cry evil woman 😂😂 and she made me want to throw my kindle. She took everyday problems that people go through and showed us how people feel. I felt everything that Evan and Avery did. I went through one of those things and she didn't sugar coat anything or make them magically be ok. She made them fight, hurt and work for the marriage they had and their family. Life isn't always easy but if you work at it you can get your happily ever after. And those two deserve all the happiness. Thank you SE Roberts...i absolutely love this book and series

I have to be honest, Evan and Avery were not my favorite couple. Although they were struggling with infertility which can be so hard on a relationship it still seemed like their bond was too good to be true. So you can imagine that as the story progressed I felt pretty dang bad about being so judgemental . I loved that this story showed how everything can change in the blink of an eye, nothing is ever certain. People are human and make mistakes but if two people are truly meant to be together they can mend what is broken and become stronger by relying on their love and trust. This story is a great reminder that love is not always easy but it is always worth it.

Emotional rollercoaster

An intense and emotional story that just about gutted me. I knew a few pages in that I was would be in for a rollercoaster of a ride. Evan and Avery had me in tears and the way this story is written you can feel every emotion. Man did I want to throw things and I kept thinking what are they doing??!! Absolutely fantastic story with two characters who are made for each other. A must read.

Great book

I loved this book. I think I’ve only read 1 book before this where the H/h were married and something happens and they have to find their way back to each other. Evan and Avery’s story is one of those those could happen to any married couple...infertility issues, career issues, and misunderstandings can and do happen in marriages. Evan and Avery were able to work through things and find their way back to each other. Loved the epilogue...so touching!

I loved Evan & Avery's story, their banter & all of the emotions they go through. No marriage is perfect but they have a very strong one until some challenges arise. They are expecting their first child after trying for a few years and then some drama happens. They have to trust each other, pull together & communicate. I loved how Evan worked hard to show Avery just how much she means to him. I went through so many emotions with this story, it was a great follow up story to Revival.

This is Avery and Evan's story, the love they have between them is clearly felt throughout the story. When they have an issue thrown at them that threatens to destroy their marriage, they have to work at repairing their marriage after another dramatic event takes place it gives them the push to bring them back together. They get their happily ever after that makes your heart smile. I received an ARC of this and volunteered to review it.

S.E. Roberts has done it to me again! She has gone and broke my heart and painstakingly put it back together. This book has hit home once again and I love how close to home it hits. The emotions that Avery and Even have to go through and the love that they fight for. The tragedies that they have overcome that could have ripped apart any couple that may not have been strong enough to work through it. S.E. Roberts shows readers what happens when the seemingly “perfect” couple falls and has to rebuild and work for what they really want. I kept turning the pages to find out what would happen with so many twist and turns. If you don’t mind having your heart break just to have it put back together with everything this couple has to go through and really have it touch your life and make you think about the love you have to offer, then this is the book for you.

What happens when the perfect couple falls apart? Evan and Avery made me swoon in S.E.'s first book of the series, Revived. They were the perfect couple - loving, supportive, completely enmeshed within each other. Long waiting for a child, the arrival of their daughter brings joy and tears. Life changes, drama, secrets and misunderstandings shred this perfect couple. I was in tears and so frustrated. I loved this book. I hated parts of this book. It took me along time to finish because I got upset about these characters. But dang, I loved it so much! The author played with my heart and I know I'm never going to be the same. Well done. Well done.

Renewed

What an amazing story. I loved this couple. Their story was full of love, then sadness and then such a heartwarming tale of love, full of passion towards one another, even when things were going wrong there was love. AVERY was right that men don’t notice when women are playing games with them. And she had a reason to be upset with Mallory. Mallory was always there, always touching him. And then being so desperate to take action against AVERY when she left for work that night. Mallory had some definite problems. Thankfully they caught her and hopefully she gets punished.

Avery and Evan have the perfect marriage until they don’t. Th stress of trying to get pregnant and then finding out that you are causes a marriage meltdown.
Go through the heart wrenching sadness of finding their way back to each other and learning they have to learn to trust each other again. Really loved their story.

S.E. Roberts knocked it out of the ballpark with her second book in this series. Evan and Avery are such an adorable couple, you could feel what they were feeling, in the good times and their trials. Both of them were relatable in their stubbornness. S.E. does a wonderful job of bringing the characters and their struggles to life. I really enjoyed this book, S.E. just keeps getting better and better with her writing, I can't wait for whatever she has in store next!!!

Evan and Avery’s story was rather unexpected. Obviously these two are very much in love. It just oozes from the page. They, like everyone else experience challenges in their marriage. They experience real life challenges that other couples exp and This makes them relatable.

I love the way S.E. Roberts writes her characters. I fell in love with Avery and Evan! Their story is sweet and sometimes steamy, a little bumpy and completely true to real life! I felt like I was right there with them every step of the way. Laughing, crying, wanting to throw my kindle out the window... S.E. is a one-click author for me and this book is one of the many reasons why!

5 Stars and a few tears✨

Congratulations to Ms. Roberts for my blocked tear ducts. This book gives us every thing. Romance, suspense, heat, kindness, humor and just a connection to the characters that gives you a vested interest in their happiness. I will buy all of her books from now on.💕

Another great book! It kept me on the edge of my seat! The story of Avery and Evan was great. You got to see that it wasn't always perfect and i could definitely relate to the characters. The author showed how hard it was to make a relationship work and i really loved that. Sometimes love is hard. An amazing read!

I have to say that I liked Revived a little bit more than Renewed, but the latter was a great read nonetheless. Evan and Avery went through so much in the course of this book, and I honestly wondered if the problems would ever get resolved, haha, but I was glad to see that they did. :)

This book was totally worth the wait for it to be released!

It has all the feels and highs and lows you can expect from the fantastic writing of S.E. Roberts!

Avery and Evan are the perfect couple that have to learn how to cope with some big bumps in the road!

They are both stressed and changes are scary even if they are good!

What I love so much is that they are not perfect humans and they have to realize this and how it affects the decisions they make. This book shows that even if you don’t intend to hurt the one you love you still can. It’s having the patience to fix it and patch up the holes along the way!

I loved the first book in the series and eagerly awaited the completion of their story. Unfortunately it became even more tedious and exhausting than the first one. I know angst and strife with some crazy on the side makes for a good read but for some reason this just didn't work for me. I had to give it 3 stars because it isn't that the stories bad it just didn't work for me. I found myself skimming just to get done and worrying my eyes would get stuck from rolling them. There are plenty of reasons to love it so don't take my word for it check it out and see for yourself.
