About this listen

Three years ago, Jacob Price walked away.

After a whirlwind steamy affair, my father's best friend broke my heart.

He told me things were too complicated. Messy. Wrong. That we could never be together.

I knew he loved me, but the fear of ruining our family was too great. With too much at stake, he sacrificed our hearts and ended it.

Now, he's back, and he still wants me. He still loves me.

But now, I'm engaged to another man.

From Q.B Tyler, author of Love Unexpected, comes an all-new age-gap forbidden romance.

Stunning

I am never a fan of audio books because the pacing has just never worked for me, But I am obsessed with QB so I wanted to listen. STUNNING

Meh 🫤

JF Harding and the spicy scenes were the best parts about this book; top marks there! The rest of the story was ok, but I felt like I wanted or needed a touch more intrigue.

I really enjoyed this.

This romance was so angsty and I was here for it. This is an age gap, dad’s best friend romance. Whitney and JP had a relationship when she was 18 for two years behind her parents back. JP ends the relationship abruptly because he has to go work out of the country, Whitney is heartbroken for almost a year but doesn’t tell anyone about the relationship she had with him. Three years later, she is engaged to someone else, and when JP receives a wedding invite, he rushes back to town to fight for her. He never stopped loving her and tries to tell Whitney that right away, but she was so devastated when he left she refuses to talk to him. This does have cheating in it so be aware of that, but the angst and tension is so good.

kind of boring

so in theory I should have loved this book. it has father's best friend, age gap, secret relationship and the spice was good. however, the story fell flat for me. I found the FMC slightly whiny. I do not like the cheating trope, however, it isn't a deal breaker for me as I have read books with it in the past and like it if it suits the story. I didn't like it in this one. overall this book was slow, repetitive and boring. the narrators were great, although I wasn't a complete fan of the female narrators rendition of a male voice.
