About this listen

From the French countryside to Manhattan, falling for my one-night stand wasn’t supposed to be the plan.

Dear Mr Hayes,

I’m sorry you found me floating in your bathtub last night. And that you didn’t realize I was housesitting. I’m also sorry I crept out of your bed five years ago without leaving my name....

My secret one-night stand.

In another lifetime, we might’ve been soul mates.

The memories of our passion have warmed my bed since. I’m going to pretend I don’t see the way your eyes devour me and ignore how that makes me feel. You’re wealthy, charismatic, and sinfully sensual, and I burn every time you whisper my name.

But I can’t give in to you. Not again.

I know you’re hiding something. I’m not that girl anymore.

My kisses aren’t trifles to be wasted.

Single mothers aren’t afforded those luxuries. Why must you be so hard to resist? Falling in love with you was never in my plans.

Discovering who you really are might devastate me.

Neither expected what happened next.
So good! Your going to have to trust me when I say that this book is worth your time and money. I don't want to spoil the fun of this funny and heartbreaking romance.

Not your typical single mom cliché. I loved it!

The Writer:
This was a new to me author and I have to say I am looking forward to more of her books. Her style of writing is totally my jam. Great storyline, comedy, drama, second chances, HOT sex, and love. Her play with words was hilarious. The use of certain descriptive words like “blueberry fluff muffins” had me in stitches.
As the many layers of the main characters were unraveled, I was slowly drawn in. What a wonderfully clever weaving together of a story. The twists and turns held my attention throughout. I could feel all the emotions of the characters coming off the page. The internal monologues were brilliantly done. The sexual tension and the actual sex were 5 star “HAWT”. The banter between Carson and Fee was witty, captivating, and hilarious at times. The inner monologues helped define the characters. Added to this, little Lulu is my favorite child character ever.
The narration:
As an ardent listener to audiobooks, I can tell you, the narration of a story can enhance or detract from the quality of a book. In this case, it was the former. This story was brought to life in a beautiful, honest, and amazing way.
This was my first listen to the female narrator, Zara Hampton-Brown, and I am impressed. Seems like the role was written specifically for her. She voiced the different characters with perfection, switching seamlessly between accents. Even the squeaks and chuckles which were part of each character’s personality were on point.
Joe Arden…what can I say, his voice was pure seduction. No surprise since he is one of the best. I just can’t get enough of him. Together they made this wonderful story come alive in the best of ways. They added depth and heart to their characters and made me love this book even more.
This was a very satisfying and enjoyable listen/read. My best listen of 2022 so far. Get this book, you need it in your life, that is all I’m saying.

Passionate Strangers to Lovers Romance!!

Never Say Forever by Donna Alam was a passionate strangers to lovers romance that did crazy good things to my heart. Fee and Carson's romance had many laughs, some angst, lots of spice, and several swoony moments that captivated my attention from start to finish. This was my first Donna Alam book, and it will not be my last.

Joe Arden and Zara Hampton-Brown narrate this audiobook, and are simply pure perfection bringing Fee, Carson, and little Lulu (Gah, I just love her!) to life. Zara is a new to me narrator, and I adored her performance of Fee. Zara portrayed Fee's passions and dedication to her daughter with such fervor so that you couldn't help but fall in love with her determined spirit. Carson Hayes is such a complex hero with many dark secrets from his past which shape the man he is today. Joe Arden portrays all of these complexities including Hayes' dominant, protective, and seductive sides brilliantly. Also, Joe's British kid accent is adorable! Fee and Carson have a fiery, alluring chemistry that is irresistible and will burn up your earbuds!

Overall, I LOVED this audio and story. If you enjoy a strangers to lovers romance with a hunky alpha male, a fierce single mother, one steamy night in France, a sweet adorable little princess named Lulu, a touch of deception, hidden secrets, laugh out loud moments with "adult" toys, cute witty banter, even more steamy times, memorable side characters, and a swoon-worthy HEA that will leave your heart super happy, then you will love Carson and Fee's story. Donna Alam, you have a new fan, and I'm looking forward to more!

Lulu was the highlight of this book

This is the second book I listened from Donna Alam and it was quite good because I was a little disappointed at how the story ended. Mind you , yes it has a HEA but I felt it was a bit disjointed at the end. My favorite character is Lulu, the 4 year old daughter of Fee. She was the star that stole the show. I laughed, chuckled at her dialogue and both Zara and Joe did a fantastic job narrating her role. It is a good listen but just be weary of how the story ended.

great story

I liked the story and the narration. Lulu was a great character in the story. The narrator sometimes did the male voice which I did not like but it didn't happen often. Overall I liked it

One of the Best of 2022

I'm calling it now, this book will be one of my top listens of 2022. Donna's fantastic writing was highlighted incredibly well by narrators Joe Arden and Zara Hampton-Brown. Joe is one of my favorite narrators, but Zara was new to me. I can't wait to hear more from her, because she totally nailed it!

There was heartbreak, there was laughter, there was some hot, hot, hot sex and by far one of the best little kid characters I have ever read. Of course there was drama and bit of a twist that I did not see coming, which I appreciated. 100% would recommend if you are a fan of soap operas and drama

Completely unexpected!

*AUDIO REVIEW*Donna Alam is a new to me author and Zara Hampton-Brown a new to me narrator, but I can say I am now a fan of both! While this story had to much introspection at times, that definitely didn’t take anything away from this story. Fee and Carson’s story is full of twists and secrets, love and so hot! Narrators Joe Arden and Zara Hampton-Brown are spot on with this one! At times Lulu had me laughing so hard I was in tears. She is definitely the highlight in this story! I felt ALL the emotions with this listen. Love for Fee and Carson, hate for the bad guys, laughter with Lulu, shock and awe and at times aggravation when I THOUGHT it was predictable and found myself begging for it to stop and be different from so many other books. But then it happened! Another twist in the road and I thought, “wow, I love this story!” Every emotion was definitely worth it!
