About this listen
Raising my daughter on my own is hard enough, but when you add in a psycho ex-husband and not enough money to make ends meet, there are times when I want to put my head down and never pick it up again.
Except my daughter deserves more than that.
I deserve more than that.
And then...I meet David Carmichael.
A man with a quick smile, infectious laughter, and a protective streak so wide, even the Grand Canyon sighs in admiration. We've spent our entire lives almost meeting, years and years of coincidences so strong they send goosebumps down my spine. It's like fate took a look at the cards I've been dealt and decided to hand me him as an apology.
David says we were inevitable, and now that we're together, we're unbreakable. I only hope he's right.
Contains mature themes.

Story
Jack Cooper’s a devoted single dad, just trying to make it through the morning without burning breakfast. His life is all about lists and rules and boundaries. (Raising three kids on his own, who can blame him?) Meanwhile, I’m a shameless free spirit looking for signs from the universe. And Jack? He's a sign. No doubt. The way his gaze skates across my face, gentle and questioning. The tired circles under his eyes and the hopeful smile quirking his lips. I can’t stop fantasizing about the guy and completely adore his kids. It's not like that should stop me from trying to help.

Story
The first time I meet Joe Channing, he’s dressed head-to-toe in black, lurking around my grandmother's house. Up to no good? All signs point to yes. Dangerous? Obviously. Just look at him. Sexy as hell? With those blue eyes and that wicked smile - I mean, he isn’t not good-looking.... The second time I see him, he’s trying to kill my grandmother - at least it looks that way at first. Maybe I misjudged the situation? But that doesn’t mean I misjudged him.

Never date your (sexy-as-hell) next-door neighbor. File that under great advice - not taken. Especially if he’s hot. And witty. And successful. Did I mention hot? Never mind. The point’s the same. I moved to Wildrose Landing because my life was a structure-fire burning down around me. They say a phoenix rises from the ashes, new. I crossed my fingers and took a leap of faith, hoping that proved true.

On the same day I lose my job, my house, and all hope for the future, I also lose my journal. And the worst part.... He found it. He read it. And...he commented. At the end of his message is an email address and a plea: Contact me. Please. I know better than to trust strangers with candy, but, after a tequila-fueled night, I create a new email address and do just that...and the man I discover is overflowing with kindness and humor and depth. Meanwhile, I meet Lucas Hutton - a Marine with scars covering his body, heart, and soul.

In the morning, she was gone and had taken my solace with her. I left for the military that day, vowing never to return to Pennsylvania. When my father dies, I’m forced to go home to bury him. At least I'll finally be rid of his farm, which is grown over and tangled with memories I've fought to forget. And that’s when I find her. She’s even more beautiful than I remember and has the most adorable kid I’ve ever seen. Years have passed, but my feelings are the same, and this time I refuse to let her go. They say you can't bury the past, and they're right.

Aiden Stone is a six-foot-two former Marine with a permanent scowl, dark hair, and dreamy blue eyes. He’s the oldest of the Stone brothers, and his “by the book” family has battled mine for control of our small town for generations. The last thing I should do is sleep with him. Or nearly run him down with my truck. Especially since he's sort-of my new boss.

I figured it would be easy to find him a match - and save the family business at the same time.

DEAR CORINNE, I LOVED THIS FORBIDDEN to FOREVER 💖
- By 🔹🔸🔹🔸CAROLYN 🔹🔸🔹🔸 on 06-13-23
By: Corinne Michaels
I hate that she never actually grows. To the very end she goes from being someone who doesn’t say no ever to simply depending on David to push the no’s out of her.
The situation at the end upset me most—In this moment y’all need to be able to pass strength between the two of you. He’s gone you should be thinking maybe he’s pulling strength from somewhere since he can’t depend on you the way you depend on him. But then to find out that he was out handling business and her friends grilling him is absurd. Like grow tf up! He should not be explaining his whereabouts to your friends and fighting to see you in the hospital because whether you remembered where he said he went or not you should have Faith &
Trust in the man you’re shacking up with AND having a child with especially when he have proven to be there for you month after month, time and time again. I’m a hardcore David fan but Michelle needs to go to therapy and learn to love her damn self.

After listening to AB’s Beyond Words audiobook I thought I’d give this one a try.. and try I definitely did!!. I tried to get on board with the ‘instant’ everything because I usually don’t mind that.. but sadly it somehow seemed way WAY too easy. I tried to think that the Stars had finally aligned to bring them together.. but I suspiciously failed to believe that, after a year of ‘small town living’ their paths never ever crossed before.. yet suddenly they constantly met. I tried to connect to the characters a bit more.. but spectacularly failed with that too. I tried to be ok with the speed and ease the single Mom Michelle moved in with David instead of cautiously moving forward slowly for her daughter’s sake.. but again I worryingly failed. I tried to understand why oh why Michelle would suddenly trust and believe what her psychotic dangerous ex told her when she hadn’t seen him since their rushed barely legal divorce (after being held at gunpoint by him) a year earlier. But nope nope nope, this Mom hadn’t met the liar’s ‘alleged’ girlfriend either, he hadn’t even got a booster seat for his car and he didn’t look at his daughter once. With the bitter emotional scars of their broken marriage still fresh in her mind, Michelle just lets her precious 5 yr old go off to spend the WEEKEND with him and his girlfriend. And, despite never agreeing to, or paying, any child support.. she just let her unhappy daughter go.. so yes, I mortifyingly failed to understand her reasonings as the red flags flew in her face.
David had lost his own 5 yr old daughter.. but suddenly there’s a 5 yr old living at the ranch.. and nobody questions his mind or motives that, within a month of meeting, hey presto he’s got a new family. The angst with the ex felt off and the drama towards the end was just too little too late.. and, for me, there wasn’t any pulse-pounding passion, moving romance, seismic chemistry or sizzling sex scenes.. instead everything seemed tame, watered down and diluted into a bland cocktail of nothing much. The almost alternate POV was good and the narrators did their best.. but sadly it didn’t help.
Worth a credit? David, Michelle and Clare’s story was a “meh” listen for me.. a below average 3 star beach read and I’m sorry to say that, IMO nu uh, it isn’t worth a credit.. and thankfully I didn’t use one because it’s an Audible Escape book. But we’re all different.. you may absolutely love it.. and that all good too.
FOR ME, IT FELT LIKE A WATERED DOWN BEACH READ
