About this listen

When is love wrong...

Jesse Ryan has always been the love of my life, from as far back as I can remember. But time, distance, and circumstances beyond my control separated the two of us for many years.

Now things have changed. Because you see, now I'm a grown woman, and it's time that Jesse sees that for himself. But will he see me as anything other than the child I was when we last saw one another? It's up to me to make sure that he does.

Look out Jesse Ryan. September is back.

Holy hell, I knew I would like the book(being taboo is one of my favorite books) but this went above and beyond liking the book. Normally I just listen while driving. Well with this book, I found myself putting in headphones just to listen. I couldn’t get enough of September and Jesse’s story. Oh and Scout, I just love her. 🤗 She is my kind of girl.
This was an all consuming type of story. It drew me in immediately. I was laughing out loud, angry, frustrated, sad, and much more 😉. I loved the pace of the story and the sexual tension between the two. 🫦 Something about Jesse’s voice 🤤. His slight country accent, yes please!
I immediately purchased the second book in the series. I had to know what happened. I will continue to read from this author. I love the way she writes and just immerses you into the book.

September and Jesse!

Although this book falls under a "taboo" storyline, the way in which it was written totally negates that trope. It is brilliant how the growth of September from a somewhat conniving little vixen, at the start, to a woman beyond her years at the end draws the reader/listener into the story so that I felt invested in their relationship. On to Book 2!
Noelle Bridges and Alexander Cendese were brilliant in their roles!

OMG!! i was thinking this story would be a bit taboo for me but i have fallen in love with it. The writing is so good that the storie draws you in and keeps you wanting more. I can not waiting listen to the next book to see what happens with September!! I want to know what craziness will happen with her mom and Jesse. Even if you don't like taboo books this is one you should give a shot.

Though I love this authors stories, this book was too taboo for me. Not saying that it wasn't a good story, it was! The FMC was just too much for me and the lengths she went to just for Jesse bothered me. Again, this would definitely be the RIGHT story for some. Just not me😢

September was dedicated!

"Loving Jesse" is definitely not your typical romance trope. However, the plot lends itself to acceptance when you understand the dynamics of the characters and back story. September Dawson is the stepdaughter of Jesse Ryan. When her mother takes off when September is 10 years old, she's sent to live with her maternal grandparents. Fast forward 7 years later. September is getting ready to turn 18 when she shows back up in Jesse's life, to help care for her younger half-sister in another state. The slow-burn of their love is fascinating, and there's n no creep factor in how the relationship develops. The narration team did an exceptional job in portraying all of the characters and the listener can actually feel the emotions, struggles, and misunderstandings that develop. Steamy, romantic and suspenseful!

September was only a thread written into the fabric of an adult relationship. This one will twist your heart up and hang it out to dry. Don’t miss it!
The narrator’s are perfect together. They brought it alive!

Heartfelt!
