About this listen
I calmed his demons. He created mine.
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.
***
The Love of My Next Life is part one of a duet. It is just as much a love story as it is a tale of ruin. While the duet will end in an HEA, book one does not.

Story
He was the mysterious dark knight, always swooping in to save me when I needed it the most. I was the troubled girl with scars and a bleeding heart. He was the gifted guitarist destined for big things. I was the small-town girl battling her demons. He was my earth, always keeping me grounded. I was his sky, always just out of his reach. Our love was everything I wished for—until I destroyed it.

He was the talented bad boy everyone wanted. I was the irrelevant geek everyone hated. He was the sun...drawing all of us in. I was a black hole...taking up space. He was destined to be a star. I was destined to remain an insignificant no one. Until he made me believe I was special...and then he destroyed me. I never thought I'd see Phoenix Walker again after he broke my heart, but fate had other plans. One tour. Eight weeks. Forty shows. Countless opportunities to make him pay. The world thought he was a god...but I know the truth.

Zanders: Chicago hockey isn't complete without me—everyone's favorite player to hate. I know my role, and I play it well. In fact, I thoroughly enjoy spending the majority of my game time in the penalty box before leaving the arena with a new girl on my arm each night. What I don't like is the new flight attendant on our team's private plane. She works for me, not the other way around. But I'll be sure to remind her of that, and I can guarantee, by the end of the season, she'll be begging to quit her job.

Pine River was supposed to be a new start for me. And it was, especially attending school with my three overprotective cousins, who were the triplets at the top of the social hierarchy. Except they weren’t alone there, and the first day when I came to school, I saw him. Scout Raiden. Tall. Lean. Tattooed. Mesmerizing. He was a golden god with dark and piercing eyes—looking like he wanted to eat me up. The feeling was mutual, and that was a problem.

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.

I crawled into Ryan Jensen’s bed that first night by accident. I barely knew him. I thought it was his sister’s bed - her room. It took seconds to realize my error, and I should've left... I didn’t. I didn’t jump out. I didn’t get embarrassed. I relaxed. And that night, in that moment, it was the only thing I craved. I asked to stay. He let me, and I slept. The truth? I never wanted to leave his bed. If I could've stayed forever, I would have. He became my sanctuary. Because - four hours earlier - my twin sister killed herself.

Fake. That's what we are. That's what we agreed to be. So why does it feel so real? I thought it would have been harder, convincing everyone our school's star receiver was mine and mine alone, but I was wrong. We played our parts so well that the lines between us began to blur until they disappeared completely. The thing about pretending, though, is that someone's always better at it, and by the time I realized my mistake, there was no going back.

Story
Desperate to find a new mechanic, the last thing Reddington expects is a woman to show up, let alone one with a sinful body, sharp tongue, and the inability to just do her job and not give him lip. He can't deny he's hoping to catch a view of her bent over a hood, but there's not a chance in hell that's going to happen. As much as Red wants to take her for a test drive, he knows he needs to keep his priorities straight.

BRIAR - I was infatuated with Asher Kelley the moment he came tumbling through my brother’s window five years ago. Even bruised and bloodied, he was the most beautiful boy I'd ever seen. We couldn't ever be together. I was too young, and he was too untouchable. He was too troubled, and I was too naive. ASHER - I was drawn to Briar Vale from the first time she looked up at me with stars in her blue eyes. We could never be together. I was too old and she was too off limits....

He calls himself Spider. I just knew him as the sinfully gorgeous guy with eyes of fire that fate sat next to me on the airplane. I didn’t know who he really was...British rock star...my stepbrother. He kissed me because he thought we’d never see each other again. We would. Everyone warned me about him. They told me he was ruthless and cold and screwed up. They said he’d leave me with a hole in my heart. Maybe I should have listened. Maybe I should have built up a fortress to keep him out. But I crumbled instead.

Regret, she's a snarky little bitch. I've tried several times to regret the events that took place on June 5, 2008, but for the life of me, I can't. I'd never regret the pain, the suffering, or the heartache because they ultimately led me to the place I am in now. And I can't regret the place I am in now. What I still can't figure out is this: How is it possible that the single worst day of my life inadvertently became the very best day? Five years ago my life was irrevocably changed. Seventeen minutes was all it took to lose my best friend, to lose the love of my life.

Moving in with a billionaire playboy is supposed to be some sort of Cinderella story, right? I’m supposed to be having the time of my life while living the dream. Wrong. When the bank took our home, it didn’t come as a surprise. The bomb was when mom told me we were moving out of Breakers Flats, away from my crew, and to a place that existed only in fairy tales - Bellevue Springs. Home of the insanely beautiful, rich, and famous.

• Thoughts:
Have you ever read a story that has captured your whole heart, mind, body, and soul? This is one of those books! It was everything, I was so captivated and so in love with the heart, feelings, and words the author laid out in front of us. This book was so well done. We meet Lennon and Macon when they are elementary age and into their last year of high school. The level of understanding they have for one another, the type of love where their souls recognize each other. These stories are the ones that stay with me for a lifetime. I don't think this couple will ever leave me. I was so deeply touched and have the book hangover to prove it. Lol. This is a review where I will tell you after you verify this book won't trigger you. You need to read it. My words will not do this book justice. I wish I could write a review to do this book justice. Just read it.
•Narrator thoughts:
JF Harding and Lidia Dornet were 100 percent pure perfection!!! I loved their performance. I love them! These two narrators are incredible, and they brought Lennon and Macon to life. Fantastic job!!!

Amazing Start To This Duet!
I read The Love of My Next Life when it first came out so I thought I was prepared to listen to the audio book. But again I was completely blown away by this story. The audio version just brought it more to life and therefore made me more invested. Narrators Lidia Dornet & JF Harding did an amazing job as Macon & Lennon and I couldn't have loved it more!
If you haven't met Macon & Lennon yet what are you waiting for?!

An Emotional Read
Brit Benson never disappoints me. I listened to this book in two days. It was so fast paced and I just kept wanting to know more. I love a good best friends brother story. Although in this book I did not like the best friend. Lennon deserved so much better. Macon wasn’t any better at times playing with her feelings but there were scenes in his POV that show how much he cares for her, he’s just not in the right mindset to show her real love. The cliffhanger at the end got me good and I can’t wait for book two.
Listening to this book was an emotional rollercoaster. I have never hard JF Harding or Lidia Dornet. Both told the story with such emotion you could feel the scenes especially where the Lennon was going through the unthinkable. She really went above and beyond to show it in her voice. I felt the same about JF Harding. Both narrators took each character and made them jump off the page.
I highly recommend this book.

So compelling you can't stop listening
Before I even start this review of The Love of My Next Life, let me say that narrators J. F. Harding & Lidia Dornet may just be the best readers I have ever listened to. I both read the book and listened to the audiobook. The book is amazing; the audiobook is extraordinary – they bring the characters vividly to life with all the tension, emotion, anger and heat.
Author Brit Benson is one talented writer. She takes a pretty standard premise – enemies to lovers, teenager angst and love – and makes you buy into it 100%. It’s one of those books that makes you want to read (or listen) slowly to enjoy every minute but leaves you anxious to finish because you just have to know what happens, and makes you want to stop at the same time because you are afraid there is tragedy and heartache to come. The narration is perfect. Lidia Dornet makes Lennon sound just like you think she should: not innocent but not experienced, smart, talented, not quite fitting in with best friend Clare and her group, close to her father but secretly resentful of how her mother left them, and so used to hating Clare’s brother Macon that it takes her awhile to realize there are actual feelings between them, and that maybe he just needs someone to believe in him. J. F. Harding’s Macon is spot on: the bad boy “loser” is there but so is the pain and guilt and sadness and loneliness and fear – and the strong, strong feelings for Lennon. Even the way he says, “Macon” at the beginning of each chapter amplifies his character. It’s quiet and rushed and impatient, gritty and tender at the same time, and makes you believe in the good guy deeply hidden somewhere in there. The smart, talented resourceful young man who was treated so horribly as a boy that he may be beyond hope.
It's real and relatable. Sure, they’re “just kids” but they show the lie of “it’s just puppy love.” These are serious emotions. And high school isn’t always some happy, sunny, safe place. There is real danger there.
Lennon meets Macon and Claire when she’s 9, shortly after her mother’s overdose, when she and her father Trent move to town. Macon is obviously the troublemaker kid in class, the one held back, and his teasing of Lennon begins right then. Claire latches on to Lennon, and it’s already clear that she wishes her brother just wasn’t around – he’s no good.
Lennon is the good girl, the people pleaser, always putting on the “everything is just fine” face, not wanting to make waves, hiding her love of painting from her father because she is afraid it will remind him of her mother and upset him, always assuring him she’s fine with his absence for military missions.
Claire is that best friend who is really impersonating a best friend: demands loyalty and care she never intends to give back, is jealous, a bully, bossy, never really considering Lennon’s needs or feelings but doing a good job of pretending to. It is hard to warm up to her; I fear it will never be possible.
Macon is bad, or so he believes. So it becomes a self-fulfilling belief: if he’s bad he has to act bad. His father physically and emotionally abused him from the time he was very young, and by the time we come into the story that bad dad has left their mom, Andrea, and Macon and Claire and they’re barely hanging on. Macon is sure it’s all his fault and that he’s always letting their mom down. Claire never misses an opportunity to reinforce that belief. She was Daddy’s Girl and Macon took that away. As she grows older her wish that Macon will just go away forever gets stronger and stronger.
The focus of The Love of My Next Life is on their senior year of high school. Lennon is 17, Macon is 19. Not an easy time. Hookups, parties, drugs, alcohol, sneaking around – and a gigantic pull of something between Macon and Lennon. She fights it. He can’t stop being addicted to his bad behavior but is always in the background, looking out for Lennon – and proclaiming they belong together. Trent and Andrea, after years as friends and neighbors, reveal their love and get married. Claire is ecstatic to have Lennon as her “real sister.” Lennon feels betrayed and Macon is not feeling brotherly. Prom night is wonderful. Until it’s not.
We know at the start of the book that this is Book 1 of a duet and we shouldn’t expect the Happily Ever After we want. Even so, there is so much tension and angst and emotion and tragedy that it’s hard not to think the “next life” of the title is really going to be a next life and that the ultimate bad things will happen in this book. Finds you turning pages faster and faster while at the same time dreading what that next page will reveal.
The Love of My Next Life is a satisfying if heart-pounding read. The characters are perfectly drawn, authentic, compelling. As noted, the narration is beyond perfect. There are many little scenes that will tug at your heart and bring a tear to your eye: Trent asking Macon to look out for Lennon while he’s away on a mission and she stays at Andrea’s. Little Macon taking that so seriously, felling so good because someone believes in him – until Claire makes up something to get him into trouble and demands he leave Lennon alone. She belongs to Claire; he’s already ruined their lives and she needs Lennon. And Macon guiltily, sadly agreeing to it. Mason finding the pink butterfly clip that Lennon loved and threw out because Claire bullied her into thinking it was part of the “kiddy stuff” she needed to get rid of and slipping it into his pocket. Trent telling Macon at his bachelor party that “You’re a good kid, and you’re going to be a good man.” And of course some really, really steamy scenes that seem real and natural and placed in exactly the right places in the story.
Thanks to Home Cooked Books and the author for providing an audio copy of The Love of My Next Life. I thoroughly enjoyed it, cried, laughed, worried and sighed all through it, and could not wait to get to the rest of the duet. I am voluntarily leaving this review and all opinions are my own.
Note: there is some excellent bonus material you don’t want to miss available at the author’s website, authorbritbenson.com.

Duet
JF Harding is one of my favorite narrators, which made this so much better. This is a Forbidden, Enemies to lovers, Best friends Brother Romance and very Angsty, which I love.. Brit’s writing style and world building really brought this story to life. JF Harding really was the perfect guy to play Macon Davis, he really brought his character to life! Lidia Dornet was a new narrator to me and I will definitely be checking out more books she has narrated. Definitely recommend!

Angsty emotional conclusion to this duet
This is the perfect ending to the next life duet, in this book you get the answers you were wanting when TLOMNL ended. This starts up 5 years later and you go through all the emotions while you watch Lennon and Macon struggle with there feelings and learn to forgive and let go of the past. Make sure to check TWs cause there are some darker elements in this book. Brit Bensons writing style and world building and character development are phenomenal. She is now become one of my favorite one click authors. I just did a reread but this time the audiobook and it’s amazing, it just brings this story even more to life. It’s narrated by JF Harding and Lidia Dornet, and they were great as Macon and lennon. I definitely recommend
