My favourite one yet
Finally we get Rocko's story and discover the painful upbringing which hides behind the outwardly brash and sexually confident drummer.
I loved this one, it had limited angst, more a case of Rocko going back to his roots as Riley, having arrested twice when a drugs overdose put him at rock bottom. There were no annoying misunderstandings or plot points at 70% just to ramp up the tension.
Lachlan was a perfect partner for Riley, steady, willing to be patient and strong, having dealt with his own demons after the death of his brother, captured by insurgents and killed while serving in the Royal Air Force.
I'd been wanting Lachlan's story since we found out more about him in Mitch and Landon's book.
This one was a delight, as two men who'd been wounded found the perfect partner to help them restore their souls and give them the strength to live each day in the best possible way.
The sex is gorgeously written, switching between stupendously hot and heart-meltingly sweet, these two knew how to turn on the tension and the heat. The poolside escapade was probably my favourite.
Great addition to the series and now I'm intrigued by the lead in to book five featuring Landon's right hand man Akio and one of the many Greene family members.

The Souls of Chicago series has action, romance, drama, and sweetness, but the books don’t shy away from angst. Renewing the Soul has angst in spades, but it’s also a book of hope and second chances. Writing about drug and alcohol addictions are not an easy feat, but Annabella Michaels takes care to really show the complexities and difficulties that surround addiction. Watching these two broken men heal and support each other was beautiful, and their romance was not only romantic, but extremely fulfilling to read about.
The audiobook was narrated by Michael Pauley who was the perfect choice for such a complex and sensitive subject. He embodied Rocko and Lachlan and brought them to life with care and tenderness, but also with intensity and confidence. The performance was spectacular.
Overall Rating: 5 Stars. The writing style of the book was lovely, and I loved how much care Annabella Michaels put into developing these characters. I was rooting for Lachlan and Rocko as they fell in love and rebuilt their lives with each other.

I absolutely loved this book as well as the entire series. This book was full of so much emotion, love and healing by both characters. I adored Benjiman and Kerry as well. They brought much needed humor to the story. Five stars from me.
