About this listen
“Because you’re worth every secret.”
Avery Moore broke up with her high school sweetheart and transferred colleges to be closer to her brother and best friend. There, she began to recover from what her ex did to her. What she wasn't expecting was a one-night stand with her brother's best friend to turn into something more. Something she didn't think she was ready to handle.
Reid Rathe is often mistaken for a rich kid who grew up in a mansion on the country side. But when he met Avery, she didn’t see him as that guy. He was just an ordinary college kid to her—someone she "picked out" at a party to fulfill a "need." However, after their one-night stand, he started to fall for her. Therein lay the problem, because according to his best friend—her brother—she was completely off limits.

Story
I’m Amethyst Lily Tatum, and up until this point, I’d managed to maintain a fairly low-key life. I’m what you would call a socially unacceptable hot mess. Instead of partying, I’m skating, flipping ollies over guys who loved to underestimate me. Then I started college, met a wild girl who I would soon call my best-friend, had my first drunk one-night stand, left my phone at his house, and then, when I finally managed to meet my mom’s new boyfriend, I found out that my one-night stand was now my new stepbrother.

A pre-med bio major, she’s got more important things to worry about than joining a sorority or partying at fraternity houses. But her best friend is rushing, and when she tags along, she discovers there’s more to Greek life than she thought.

Macon Davis. My best friend’s brother. My tormentor. My least favorite person. Pothead. Delinquent. A careless, directionless loser. That’s what I used to believe, but I didn’t really know him. And when I finally saw him, it was the best and worst thing to ever happen to me. We burned hot and fast. Passion. Anger. Love. Pain. We were reckless. Naive. We were doomed from the start. When I finally saw Macon Davis for who he was, we both went down in the flames.

Story
They say you never forget your first. Jagger Cruz, the popular, gorgeous, athletic heartbreaker, was my introduction to college flings. Over the years, I’ve tried to pay no attention to every wicked rumor I heard about him, even though deep down I knew they weren’t just rumors. Unable to face the consequences of what we’d done, if we were ever in close quarters, I ran in the other direction. If we were coincidentally put in the same class, I dropped it. Avoidance was the name of the game and so far I was winning. That is, until we’re assigned the same apartment.

This isn’t a story about a love triangle. There is no triangle involved. This isn’t a story about an accidental pregnancy. Although having a baby with her...I would. This isn’t a story about lies and deception, even though at times I’ve lied to myself. No, this is my story. A story about sacrifice. A story about a man who fell in love with the wrong girl. A story I wish I never had to tell. I learned a long damn time ago, the only way to achieve my dreams was to avoid distractions - at any cost.

Outside, a howling blizzard. Inside, a crackling fire. Suddenly, being snowbound with the man she never expected to see again might not be such a bad way to spend a winter’s night.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

D.V. Fischer has impressed me yet again, and Forbid Me Not did not disappoint. I devoured this book. This story is realistic and believable. After leaving a toxic relationship, Avery Moore moves to be closer to her best friend and brother. Unfortunately, Avery's terrible ex made her feel uncomfortable in her skin, and she struggles with body image issues. When she meets Reid Rathe, her brother's best friend, she can't fathom why he would be interested in her. Reid falls hard for Avery and genuinely feels she is beautiful. Reid never gives up and wants Avery to be his forever.
The character development in this story is amazing! Although Reid is from a wealthy family, he is down-to-earth and kindhearted. Avery is likable, and her struggles with body image are very relatable. She is the type of character I could easily be friends with. I loved Reid and Avery's undeniable connection, and their chemistry was palpable. I was rooting for them! Their relationship had ups and downs, but they were meant to be together. Forbid Me Not is a well-written and captivating story that explores personal insecurities, complex family dynamics, friendship, and self-discovery. This was an enjoyable read, and I highly recommend this book. I can't wait to read more from D.V. Fischer.
NARRATION:
Rylee Forrester narrated this story. This is my first time listening to this narrator, and honestly, her voice is perfect. Rylee really brought the characters to life and made it impossible for me to put this book down. Although I generally prefer dual narration, Rylee did a fantastic job voicing both the female and male characters.

better than I expected
this story was pretty cute! I had a couple moments that gave me the ick but I moved past them and was able to finish this and it was overall a pretty cute story. The narration is pretty good although sometimes it's hard to tell between the genders but it wasn't boring I was still engaged in the story despite. I love a plus size story and I think Reed and his unabashed attraction to Avery is what carried the story for me. He was the quintessential perfect book boyfriend and was feral for Avery which is a major plus for me. But her insecurities were a little much for my taste and I hated the way she was absolutely beside herself because her ex called her fat. -_- GIRL PLEASE just stop. Also I can't stand 3rd act Break ups and that shit lasted MONTHS ugh it killed me but of course there's an HEA so it all works out.
overall it was a 3.5 to 4 rating for me.

LOVE THIS
I feel in love with this book when I first read it, so choosing to listen to the audiobook too zero convincing for me! This book made me feel all the feeling and listening to it amplified it so much for me! This is an amazing, well put together story, and I will absolutely be listening again!

The narrator was amazing. Emotions well portrayed and did great without being too dramatic eith the dual narration.
Overall the audio was good. I enjoyed the narrators voice. the story was okay. I'm not really sure why it took Dustin 6 months to realize he was being an asshat or why Avery and Reid just let it happen. very frustrating honestly but maybe I just don't enjoy the trope.

The story was amazing!!
- [ ] This was my first audiobook and I loved the story. I do wish that it was a male voice for the male part as she couldn’t change her voice to much for all the parts sometimes I was confused on who was talking.
- [ ] Avery and Reid are end game! Typical brothers best friend and he is not ok with it due to Avery past but of course they fall in love!!
- [ ] It’s spicy, sweet, sad and best of all ends on a HEA!! You are going to feel all the emotions with this one!!
