About this listen
Blair Ackerman is a girl with crazy hair and a bad attitude. She's a girl who doesn't care what anyone thinks of her. She's a girl with only a duffel bag and a car named Nancy to her name, and that's okay by her. She's tough because she has to be. Nobody gets inside her head, nobody gets inside her heart.
Silver is everything she's never wanted. He's a good guy, a smart guy, a guy who's never met a girl like her before. He's the kind of guy who loves history, who laughs at his own jokes, who kisses like a sinful dream. He's the kind of guy who might just break down her walls and get inside her heart and make her feel.
Too bad he's forbidden.
Because when Blair's mom dies and she's sent to live with the father she's never met and a family that doesn't want her, Blair and Silver cross paths in ways they never could have imagined, and they discover that even though they know they should, they can't quite bring themselves to stay apart.
Opposites really do attract.

I don't care what my cousin says; I am not the queen of impossible relationships. I mean, just because my last boyfriend tried to kill me and left a bit of a scar on my neck, then forced me to move across the country and legally change my name to Reese Randall to escape him, does not mean- Oh, who am I kidding? For a freshman in college, I have to have the worst dating track record ever. It's no wonder love is the last thing on my mind when Mason Lowe enters my life. But the chemistry between us is like bam!

The first time I met Caine West was in a bar. He noticed me looking his way and mistakenly read my scowling as checking him out. When he attempted to talk to me, I set him straight -- telling him what I thought of his lying, cheating, egomaniacal ass. You see, the gorgeous jerk had wined and dined my best friend-smooth talking her into his bed, all along failing to mention that he was married. He deserved every bit of my tongue-lashing and more for what he'd done.

Story
Hughes Farm was the largest racing-horse establishment in the South. The family that owned it was known to be wealthy, powerful, arrogant, and terrifying. My first encounter with them didn’t prepare me for all that was to come. I don’t think anything truly could have. Growing up with only my father and brother hadn’t been easy, but we’d had each other. Losing them was the hardest thing I’d ever faced. It had made the times we went without food, electricity, or even shelter seem insignificant in comparison.

You're not supposed to want the one who torments you. When my stepbrother, Elec, came to live with us my senior year, I wasn't prepared for how much of a jerk he'd be. I hated that he took it out on me because he didn't want to be here. I hated that he brought girls from our high school back to his room. But what I hated the most was the unwanted way my body reacted to him.

I finally had my baby girl back home, but she came with a little baggage in the shape of her best friend. I could deal with that for some more time with my daughter. The only problem is Bay's not exactly what I'd expected. I'd been through hell and back with my ex, but even that didn't compare to the turmoil that girl causes me. My stomach aches every time she's in the room with me, and we're drawn like magnets, but she can never be anything to me. Bay is young, vibrant, beautiful, and totally off-limits.

Maybe, if we met at another time - another life - he could’ve been mine. Maybe, if I were older. Maybe, if he wasn’t my brother’s best friend. Maybe, if he wasn’t my teacher. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. Having my dirty little secret living down the hall had me obsessing over alternate endings and happily ever afters. I’d never wanted someone so badly, but his hot and cold behavior was giving me emotional whiplash.

When Parker Blanton meets Ben Olsen during her freshman year of college, the connection is immediate - and platonic.

But when Parker's boyfriend dumps her out of the blue, she starts to wonder about Ben's no-strings-attached approach to dating.

Temporary. That's the word I'd use to describe my life right now. I'm temporarily working double shifts - at least until I can break free. I'm temporarily raising my little brother - since apparently our actual mother doesn't give a crap about either of us. And I always end up as nothing but the temporary girlfriend - the flavor of the week for every guy who's heard the rumor that I give it up so easily.

Story
I crawled into Ryan Jensen’s bed that first night by accident. I barely knew him. I thought it was his sister’s bed - her room. It took seconds to realize my error, and I should've left... I didn’t. I didn’t jump out. I didn’t get embarrassed. I relaxed. And that night, in that moment, it was the only thing I craved. I asked to stay. He let me, and I slept. The truth? I never wanted to leave his bed. If I could've stayed forever, I would have. He became my sanctuary. Because - four hours earlier - my twin sister killed herself.

Story
A summer job. That's all it was supposed to be. It never crossed my mind that I was about to collide with a man who would obliterate every plan I ever made. My mother has always warned me that love is like a lightning bolt and it strikes without warning. But I had no intention of getting struck by either lightning or love anytime soon. I'd be too busy finishing my journalism degree and landing a job in a city far more sophisticated than Phoenix. There was certainly nothing in the cards about getting involved with an ex-ballplayer turned nightclub boss.

It was easy to call us forbidden and harder to call us soul mates. Yet I believed we were both. Forbidden soul mates. When I arrived in Edgewood, Wisconsin, I didn't plan to find him. I didn't plan to stumble into Joe's bar and have Daniel's music stir up my emotions. I had no clue that his voice would make my hurts forget their own sorrow. I had no idea that my happiness would remember its own bliss.

Beautiful & Heartbreaking
This story was a beautiful, emotional rollercoaster. I loved every minute of it. Silver & Blair were so good together. They had great chemistry and were definitely an opposites attract couple. Not only was this an age gap romance, it was also a forbidden love and older brother’s best friend romance. Silver & Blair had to keep their feelings and attraction secret due to him being her teacher but I loved how they developed a beautiful friendship that was challenged at times due to outside influences. However, at times, Silver was a total jerk and made me dislike him a bit because he was supposed to be the one person Blair could trust and a lot of the time I felt he let her down. Blair’s story was so heartbreaking. My heart was in my throat the whole time I was listening to this story. Definitely angsty and completely tame compared to the romance books I usually listen to. This was my first book by Jessica Roe and first time listening to Ceci Garcia. The single narration was overall great, but at times I was confused as to who was talking because the female and male voices sounded too similar to me. Overall, the narration really captured Blair’s story and made me feel everything she was going through. I would recommend this book. It was a nice change of pace to my usual dark romance and definitely hit the ol’ corazon deeply.

Sweet story ❤️
This was a new to me author and narrator. The story was not at all what I was expecting and I was a little thrown at first by the writing & dialogue, but once I was a few chapters in I was able to settle into the story. Between the writing and the content (good tension but all sweet, no spice) I would consider this YA instead of the general romance I believe it's currently classified as.
The story is interesting and I did enjoy the relationships the MC develops with not only the love interest, but the other characters in her world. I did find the wrap up on the climactic issue to settle too smoothly and quickly so I would have liked to see a little more depth there (the resolutions/apologies/forgiveness was too easy and unrealistic to me). Otherwise I enjoyed the story and the push/pull between Blair and Silver and their forbidden relationship.
I think the narration was well done. Ceci's tone and pace matched the age of Blair perfectly and I thought she was well suited for the character. There were some very well done emotional moments in this audio that brought on some tears, both from anger and sadness. A few times the male characters were a little difficult to distinguish, but overall it was well done, the story was easy to listen to, and aside from a few background audio noises/muffled in the last 40 minutes or so (could be just a glitch in Audible, who knows) I enjoyed the production overall.
3/5 story, 3.5-4/5 narration
