Publisher's summary
Once upon a time, Emmett Mercier was the golden boy of St. John’s Boarding School. The crown prince of his father’s vast business empire, unapologetically attractive...oh, and fluent in French.
At school, I kept a picture of him hidden beneath my pillow, a tiny token of my adolescent infatuation, but I might as well have been worshiping a distant demigod. He was hardly aware of my existence. I was far too young, and he was far too consequential—until one day we found ourselves alone together in the dark library and struck up a friendship...of sorts.
But in the years since leaving St. John’s, I’ve no longer bothered yearning for Emmett. What a useless dream. I would have gone crazy trying to keep up with his jet-setting life. Which Parisian hotel is he calling home now? Is there some new lithe model draping herself across his lap today?
My negligence comes back to bite me. I’m ill-prepared the day he strides into my art gallery. There’s only a mere trace of the boy I once knew. Self-assured, handsome, intoxicating—Emmett is more man than I can handle.
There’s no room for him in my gilded cage. My life is planned to a T. From where I go to how I dress, it all depends on the calculated whims of my grandmother. Soon, I’ll even dutifully walk down the aisle toward a man of her choosing.
Emmett can’t stand my obedience. Now that we’ve rekindled our friendship, he’s intent on unearthing my heart’s true motives.
And therein lies the problem: I was doing just fine without him, but now that he’s rattling the bars of my cage, I’m forced to acknowledge the truth.
Once upon a time, Emmett Mercier was all I wanted. The midnight wanderings, the whispered nothings, the unbearable longing—they etched indelible marks on my soul. Even now, after all these years, my heart is only fluent in one language.
Forbidden French.

Story
It’s simple: Noah Peterson and I are enemies. Our fellow teachers know it, our friends know it—even the Starbucks drive-through lady knows it. The shrill whine of the school bell announces the start of each day’s no-holds-barred grudge match. Since neither of us is looking to get fired or thrown in prison, we war with our words and our wits. We prefer banter that bites. All day, I’m on edge, looking around every corner, expecting him to do his worst. Summer usually offers the sweetest relief—a two-month Noah detox—but not this year.

I have one simple rule: Don’t date professional baseball players. There are no exceptions, no workarounds. With a brother in the league, I’ve seen the good, the bad, and the downright horrifying. Those guys might seem tantalizing when they’re in uniform down on the field, hitting grand slams in front of a crowd of adoring fans, but I know better. The huge egos? The insane travel schedules? The veritable buffet of female companions? No ma’am. Professional athletes are best handled at a distance, preferably far enough away that their chiseled jawlines blur into oblivion. Enter Grant Navarro.

Dr. Easton is part man, part myth. He’s a formidable surgeon. Highly respected in his field. He also happens to be an ex-collegiate quarterback with a classically handsome face. Are you catching on yet? He’s horrible. Beautiful. A walking Ralph Lauren ad. He’s also so off-limits he should come with a warning label: This way lies heartache.

Lucas Thatcher has always been my enemy. It's been a decade since I've seen him, but our years on opposite coasts were less of a lasting peace and more of a temporary cease-fire. Now that we're both back in our small town, I know Lucas expects the same old war, but I've changed since high school - and from the looks of it, so has he. The arrogant boy who was my teenage rival is now a chiseled doctor armed with intimidating good looks.

I’m good at hiding my feelings. Having to pretend I’m not in love with my best friend? Pfft. That’s child’s play. Here’s how I do it: I avert my eyes when he walks out of his room, shirtless in all his toned glory. I squash the butterflies that fill my stomach every time he slowly unfurls a dimpled smile. Not to brag, but Aiden Smith isn’t hard to resist if you’ve been doing it for as long as I have. In fact, we might have continued as best friends forever if not for the fact that I needed him to play the part of my fake boyfriend.

Story
Young and naïve—those are his exact words. Professor Barclay views me as a nuisance, a disruption of his otherwise obedient class and perfectly regimented life. His bad impression of me stems from a simple misunderstanding. When that impression sours from bad to worse, he decides to make an example out of me in front of the entire class. Every other female student in that auditorium looks on, longing to trade places with me, wishing they were the object of his attention. It’s humiliating. I want nothing to do with him or the tension growing between us, but he feels inescapable.

Marry a man I barely know to save my family from ruin. It might’ve been simple, if my betrothed were anybody else. On our wedding day, my husband-to-be arrived at the courthouse like a black cloud rolling over Manhattan. Walt didn’t crack smiles or pepper in pleasantries as we exchanged hollow vows in front of the judge. His disdain for me was so palpable I assumed we’d walk out of that ceremony and resume our regularly scheduled programming. But then fate was like, Hold my beer. I got this.

Ian is...just my best friend. We're extremely close, stuck so deep inside a Jim-and-Pam-style friendzone everyone at work assumes we're a couple - that is until one day, word spreads through the teacher's lounge that he's single. Fair game. Suddenly, it's open season on Ian. He should be reveling in all the newfound attention, but to our mutual surprise, the only attention he seems to want is mine. He's turning our formerly innocent nightly chats into X-rated phone calls. Our playful banter sports a new, dangerous edge.

Future You here, coming to offer a little advice: Hang on for dear life. This summer is going to be a wild one. I know what you’re thinking: Life’s going so well! I don’t have a care in the world! Wrong. That culinary career you love so much? It’s about to go up in smoke, and your boyfriend? Yeah...he’s a goner too. If only love were as simple as, say, actually adding yourself to the lease agreement so you don’t suddenly find yourself loveless, jobless, and homeless!

Ben Castillo. NBA champion. Olympic gold medalist. Widely hailed "King of the Court." The morning he walks into my dingy diner, I have enough sense to keep my head down and go right on wiping tables, pouring coffee, and serving up short stacks. A man who looks like that—superstar or not—has only ever meant trouble, and more trouble is the last thing I need. If anything, he seems drawn to my indifference.

Everyone in Cedar Creek, Texas, knows Jack McNight is an arrogant devil. Physically, I get it: he’s tan and fit, with coal-black hair that’s clearly been scorched by hellfire. Oh, and his personality? It burns just as hot. When I show up on the doorstep of Blue Stone Ranch, I’m run-down and rockin’ my last pair of underwear. I’m hoping for a savior, but instead, I find him. My opinion of Jack is marred by a dismal first impression, but his opinion of me is tainted even before I arrive. He’s heard I’m a spoiled princess there to take advantage of his goodwill.

I've spent eight years wishing I'd fall out of love with Derek Knightley. Blowing out birthday candles, chasing after shooting stars, making it rain spare change into mall fountains - every time it's the same wish: Forget about Derek. But the day he walks back into my life, I realize there are two things time has yet to soften: my feelings for him and his chiseled jawline. It's infuriating that my heart still races when he walks into a room. I refuse to fall prey to old unrequited love, so I decide the less I'm around him, the better. Avoidance is key.

I’m desperate and destitute when Lockwood Construction rolls into my small town with an offer too good to pass up: high wages to any able-bodied man willing to join their crew. Say no more. I throw on baggy clothes, tuck my long hair under a baseball hat, and apply for a job. Unfortunately, my half-baked idea of disguising myself as a guy is flawed from the beginning. As Shakira says, these hips don’t lie. Still, I like to think I might have pulled the whole thing off save for one thing: I know my boss.

Nicholas Hunt is the man I hate. For good reason. His opinion of me is tainted by prejudice even before my arrival at his grandmother’s estate, and my first impression of him is just as abysmal. His arrogance and icy demeanor make it clear that he’s the type of man who’s best handled at a distance. Fortunately, space shouldn’t be an issue inside this Gilded Age mansion and its lush gardens. If I stick with the servants and he keeps to his sailboat, we should hardly cross paths at all. Unfortunately, at Rosethorn, I find that all roads eventually lead to Nicholas Hunt.

I never finish a project late. Ever. So, when sassy, stilettoed Vivian Vandemark swaggers in with a roll of red tape to shut down my construction site, you can imagine my reaction. Although, it involves a sledgehammer and perfectly good drywall, so maybe you can’t. She doesn’t look or act like any government employee I’ve met, and I’m determined to uncover her secrets. When I lean in, I lean in hard. But so does Vivian. Now that we’re incinerating the bedsheets, we’re in way over our heads. What started out as physical infatuation quickly morphs into more.

Truthfully, I thought I’d blacked out for a moment when I first saw him. He was a proper hunk with glorious brown hair, quite tall, and he had these arms. Are muscly arms supposed to turn me on?

I have one simple rule: Don’t date professional baseball players. There are no exceptions, no workarounds. With a brother in the league, I’ve seen the good, the bad, and the downright horrifying. Those guys might seem tantalizing when they’re in uniform down on the field, hitting grand slams in front of a crowd of adoring fans, but I know better. The huge egos? The insane travel schedules? The veritable buffet of female companions? No ma’am. Professional athletes are best handled at a distance, preferably far enough away that their chiseled jawlines blur into oblivion. Enter Grant Navarro.

A man who looks like that—superstar or not—has only ever meant trouble, and more trouble is the last thing I need. If anything, he seems drawn to my indifference.

A full-length standalone romantic comedy from USA TODAY best-selling author R.S. Grey. Beau Fortier starred in most of my cringe-worthy teenage fantasies. I met him when I was a junior in high school, a time that revolved exclusively around bad hair, failed forays into flirting, and scientific inquiries into which brand of toilet paper worked best for stuffing bras. That is, until Beau moved into the small guest house just beyond my bedroom window. A 24-year-old law student at Tulane, Beau was as mysterious to me as second base (both in baseball and in the bedroom).

It’s simple: Noah Peterson and I are enemies. Our fellow teachers know it, our friends know it—even the Starbucks drive-through lady knows it. The shrill whine of the school bell announces the start of each day’s no-holds-barred grudge match. Since neither of us is looking to get fired or thrown in prison, we war with our words and our wits. We prefer banter that bites. All day, I’m on edge, looking around every corner, expecting him to do his worst. Summer usually offers the sweetest relief—a two-month Noah detox—but not this year.

I’m hoping for a savior, but instead, I find him. My opinion of Jack is marred by a dismal first impression, but his opinion of me is tainted even before I arrive. He’s heard I’m a spoiled princess there to take advantage of his goodwill.

Nicholas Hunt is the man I hate. For good reason. His opinion of me is tainted by prejudice even before my arrival at his grandmother’s estate, and my first impression of him is just as abysmal. His arrogance and icy demeanor make it clear that he’s the type of man who’s best handled at a distance. Fortunately, space shouldn’t be an issue inside this Gilded Age mansion and its lush gardens. If I stick with the servants and he keeps to his sailboat, we should hardly cross paths at all. Unfortunately, at Rosethorn, I find that all roads eventually lead to Nicholas Hunt.

Ian is...just my best friend. We're extremely close, stuck so deep inside a Jim-and-Pam-style friendzone everyone at work assumes we're a couple - that is until one day, word spreads through the teacher's lounge that he's single. Fair game. Suddenly, it's open season on Ian. He should be reveling in all the newfound attention, but to our mutual surprise, the only attention he seems to want is mine. He's turning our formerly innocent nightly chats into X-rated phone calls. Our playful banter sports a new, dangerous edge.

I’ve had the best day. You won’t believe it. There I was in my preschool classroom, washing a bit of poo out of some soggy trousers, when this absolute babe came to collect his nephew from my class. Truthfully, I thought I’d blacked out for a moment when I first saw him. He was a proper hunk with glorious brown hair, quite tall, and he had these arms. Are muscly arms supposed to turn me on?

It was okay
I usually really enjoy R.S. Grey books but this one just didn’t do it for me. The MFC should have grown a back bone a little earlier. I didn’t like the relationship with the grandma, I found it unreasonable. Just a lot of eye rolling on this one. Narrators were good.

Angsty, Slow Burn, Friends to Lovers Romance!
Lainey Davenport lost her parents at a young age, and is now being raised by her wealthy grandmother. Lainey is always trying to make her grandmother happy to prove she isn't wild like her mother, which her grandmother never liked. She gives in to the old fashioned demands her grandmother requires of her. That means she is shy and never stands up for herself at her boarding school when she gets picked on. One bright spot is her crush on an older popular boy, Emmet. Emmet has his own stressful demands from his father. He sees the quiet Lainey and is intrigued by her. They have meetings in the library where Lainey hides, and connect instantly with their shared interests in books and art. After Emmet graduates, they lose touch with each other. Now a decade later, they have a chance meeting at the art gallery where Lainey works. Lainey stands up to Emmet over art, and he remembers how he loves that about her, that she only does that with him. They start to rekindle their friendship, as well as their long buried feelings. But when their families start to meddle, they lose their trust in each other, and are heartbroken over losing the one person who sees them for their true self. This is an angsty, slow burn, friends-to enemies-to lovers romance. I really enjoyed the narration by Lilly Drake, and Alexander Dunham-Wood as they brought this story to life. They are both new to me which is always fun to discover new voices to enjoy. Drake did a great job bringing out both Lainey's mousy and bold, seductress sides. I loved Dunham-Wood's deep voice, which was perfect for the older Emmet, and his French accent was wonderful.

Liked it
I liked it but I wasn’t in love and parts even annoyed me. I loved the narrators they were fantastic, but the story itself didn’t fully hit the mark for me. I feel like a lot of time was waisted on things that didn’t really add to the story so that frustrated me. For example what was with all the clothing descriptions? It didn’t add to the story and got bring. I did enjoy the ending though and much of the love story was fun to listen too. I love me an HEA.

Oh Lainey! A young lady meeting Emmett at boarding school of the elite in the east coast. Lainey is kinda like a wall flower, unfortunately loses her parents at a young age. Now living with her grandmother who wants to control her every move, what she looks like and the proper way to act. Anyways she covets the handsome Emmet from a far. But one night at the library they meey and form an unlikely friendship. After school they part ways until he walks into her art gallery. What will happen next?
The woman who read for Lainey, I felt was perfect. As for the male actor it was alright, well when reading for the older Emmett his voice was perfect.

Great listen!
Having picked up this up last year i was so glad that this audiobook was releasing so i could experience this story again! Ms.Grey has become a go to of mine over the years and i've been wanting to get into more of her audiobooks so this was an awesome chance to do so. I started looking forward to this listen right away. I got right back into this story as soon as i could. I really enjoyed this listen!
I've listened to Lilly Drake's narration many times before, but i was new to Alexander Dunham-Wood so that had me looking forward to this audiobook even more so! Both Lilly and Alexander were quick to capture my attention as Lainey and Emmett! They captured the wanting, the connection, the spice, and the feels in such awesome ways with their narration! I so enjoyed what Lilly and Alexander brought to these characters and this story. They both had me feeling many things from start to finish with this listen!
Once again, i got into Lainey and Emmett's journey quickly! It's at St. John's Boarding School where Emmett catches Lainey eye and the crushing begins. As they are brought back into each other's lives at Lainey's art gallery, can they take a chance on how they feel? or will other forces rip them apart?
I really liked the relatable moments, especially when it came to what others expected of them and getting to see how everything would unfold for these two again. Trying to find your way and taking chances isn't easy and i really enjoyed getting to see how Lainey and Emmett would tackle everything. The chemistry between these two was so good! They definitely had me going through different kinds of emotions throughout this listen. It isn't quite easy for these two. I was glad that i got to dig deeper with them as well!
With Forbidden French, Ms.Grey has created a great story with many feels that i wanted to keep listening to! From the characters to the narration, It was fun getting to experience this story again in this new way! I am so looking forward to getting into more of this author's audiobooks and listen more to Lilly and Alexander's narration in the future!

Oooh lala to this audiobook
˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗ Review ˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗
📚 Title: Forbidden French
⭐️ Rating: 3.5/5
✍🏼 Author: RS Grey
📖 Genre: Romance
🗣️ Narrators: Lilly Drake & Aiden Snow
Blurb::
A second chance romance about Lainey and Emmett who knew each other in boarding school. Lainey had a crush on Emmett and never thought she could be part of his world. Until one day , years later he shows up to her art galley and sparks fly. Only problem is how would Emmett now fit into Lainey’s perfectly curated life?
Review::
I am a huge fan of Lilly Drake and Aiden Snow and think they did a great job narrating this story. It started out a little slow for me and was more on the serious side of romance , I usually love a little light heartiness in a rom/ com setting but I think it was different from my usual listens and enjoyed it overall.
Tropes:
✨ Second Chance Romance
✨ Marriage of Convenience
✨ Billionaire love
✨ Age Gap

Enjoyable Listen, but Story Fell Flat
I haven’t read an R.S. Grey book in a while and was really looking forward to this one. Unfortunately, it fell flat for me. The book is split into two parts - part 1 takes place when Lainey and Emmett are teens, and part 2 is over a decade later. Part 1 actually made me a bit uncomfortable since Lainey is 13 and basically obsessed and stalking Emmett (who is 18 and about to graduate). I understand it was an unrequited crush, but I also didn’t feel any friendship or kinship in the few interactions they shared. It made it awkward when these “moments” were referenced later in the book and the reader is meant to swoon/feel that bond. I just never felt any true chemistry between Lainey and Emmett. Both were so childish and Emmett’s 180 after Lainey’s declaration made me roll my eyes. I wish more time had been spent developing the relationship between the main characters instead of describing their clothes, accessories, and how rich they were.
The narration was wonderful, though I did find Alexander Dunham-Wood’s voice somewhat odd when he voiced teenage Emmett. His voice was much better suited to adult Emmett. Lilly Drake was a great Lainey and her voice fit with the character very well. I also loved all the French words and sayings. Overall, this was an enjoyable listening experience, but sadly it couldn’t save this story.

Forbidden French
Forbidden French is a story that starts in the mc's younger years and then to adulthood. The storyline is split into two portions with the teenage years first and then as adults ten years later. The world building descriptions and settings are well established. The plot intrigued me but the story moved a bit slowly. I enjoyed the angst and romance of the characters. The ending was really good.
Lilly Drake, Alexander Dunham-Wood dual narration was really well performed. Lilly's inflection fit Lainey's character and she brought her emotions. Alexander deep tone was good for adult Emmett's character.
Overall, a entertaining listen.
