About this listen
Charlie Baxter has it all. A beautiful house, successful company and a set of tattoos that light women on fire at the mere sight of them. Not to mention, she’s tall and gorgeous! Life is good… Well, that is until her old music teacher calls insisting she return to her old school to take part in their annual charity ball. Charlie left Pickerton Academy behind twenty years ago. She also left behind the heartache caused by the only girl she ever loved.
Emilie Martin is an international superstar. She’s had fame and fortune for the past two decades, but what she really wants now is a break. Maybe a couple of weeks in the English countryside and a visit to her old school is just what she needs. Sounds perfect, and it would be if it weren’t for the fact it meant seeing the one person Emilie has pined over for twenty years. The girl that got away. No, the girl Emilie threw away.
With both women on a collision course with their past, can they put all the hurt behind them and start again? Can they keep their hands off each other long enough to really figure out what they want?

Story
Penelope Boswell is my best friend. She’s my person. She’s who I call when I have good news and bad. She’s my comfort. My solace. But in the same breath, she’s my want, my longing, my ache. She isn’t mine. She never will be. It’s a special kind of cruel to be in love with someone you shouldn’t. To know your heart beats for someone you can never have. One phone call in the middle of the night, two thousand miles between us, and everything changes. She’s hurt. Sad. Broken. She needs me. He broke her, and now it’s my responsibility to step in and pick up the pieces…

Critic reviews
**WINNER** 2023 Lesfic Bard Awards, Category: Romance
The narrator did a great job of voice distinction. I had no problem with knowing who was talking.
The only thing that was challenging was the transitions from each scene. Often times there wasn’t a pause in between one day of the story to the next so I had to go back 30 seconds to catch up. Other than that I highly recommend this book.
I Love this Story!

Charlie Baxter and Emilie Martin find their way back to each other after a huge misunderstanding when they were teenagers. They were meant to be together and years later, despite more misunderstandings, threats and a brutal attack, their love cannot be denied.
This is a wonderful love story with amazing characters and a fantastic story. To top it off, Lillia Green’s narration is perfect!

Charlie Baxter seems to have it all—success, beauty, and a set of tattoos that drive women wild. However, when she’s called back to her old school to attend a charity ball, she’s forced to face the one person she’s never been able to forget: Emilie Martin, the girl who broke her heart two decades ago. Emilie, an international superstar, is also dealing with her own feelings of regret over losing Charlie, the "one that got away." The result is a slow-burning, tension-filled reunion that simmers with unresolved emotions and undeniable attraction.
I absolutely loved the second-chance romance storyline in *Always Emilie*. There’s something so satisfying about watching two characters with shared history grapple with their past while trying to figure out if they can make things work in the present. Charlie and Emilie’s dynamic is filled with drama, and the emotional depth of their relationship really shines through in their interactions. The drama and intrigue surrounding their past—and how it continues to impact their future—keeps you hooked from start to finish.
The romance itself is sizzling, with just the right amount of steam. Root delivers some seriously steamy sapphic scenes, including a str@p-on scene that adds to the intensity of Charlie and Emilie’s reconnection. And let’s not forget the wonderful friendships and found family that surround these two characters, which help ground the story and give it even more heart. Spud, Charlie’s lovable canine sidekick, is an adorable addition that adds some lighthearted moments to balance out the drama.
Lila Green’s narration is, as in the previous audiobooks, solid. She captures the emotions and tension between Charlie and Emilie with great nuance, bringing their story to life in a way that makes it easy to connect with the characters. Green has been the voice of this series, and she delivers yet another strong performance in the conclusion of this trilogy.
If you’re a fan of second-chance romances with a lot of heat, a little mystery, and some heartfelt moments, Always Emilie is definitely worth a listen. The chemistry between Charlie and Emilie is palpable, the drama keeps you on your toes, and the friendships add an extra layer of warmth to this already captivating story. Alyson Root has crafted a beautiful finale to this series, and I’m excited to see what she writes next!

And let me say- I love Charlie! Her enthusiasm and wit definitely add a lot of humor to the story. Emilie is a star, but she has a huge heart to boot. Their chemistry is amazing. There are so many great and not- so-great characters in this story. It was way better than I expected, and the bar was already set high!
