About this listen

I would die to find you again.

Five years ago, I bled to death from a knife to the throat. But I didn't stay dead.

I woke up changed, and remembered far too much. I have been haunted by the memories of my past lives ever since.

For five years, I've had the illogical certainty that I've spent lifetimes connected to the same soul. Lifetimes of love, heartache, and betrayal. Was I destined to find them again?

As fate would have it while seeking revenge for my death, my murderer led me straight to her: Sunny.

The first time I saw her, she was trembling with fear behind the bar as I held a gun to her boss' head. Instantly, I knew she was the one. She was terrified of me, but now that I've found her, there's no way I'm letting her go.

She will be mine again. All she needs to do is remember.

Was I Ever Here is a dark romance with a guaranteed HEA. Intended for mature listeners.

🖤🖤🖤

This is Naomi’s debut novel and she knocked it out of the park. Sunny and Byzantine are soulmates existing in different bodies, with different personalities. But their souls are always destined to cross despite experiencing tragedy. Maybe this time they will succeed, finally learn their lesson and stop hurting each other. This novel was written beautifully. The chemistry between Sunny and Byzantine was everything. Loved the unconditionally support Sunny received from Lexie. I can’t wait for Lexie and Connor’s story!

Love and Heartache Over Lifetimes

I loved this as a book, and even more in audio! The narrators are excellent at bringing the emotion to Sunny and Byzantine.

There is the idea of reincarnation and linked souls finding each other in lifetime after lifetime. But in each lifetime, they are torn apart by tragedy, by an inability to hold on and fully be there for one another. Someone is always being hurt in the pair, and yet they keep circling back to each other.

And in this lifetime, they are Byzantine and Sunny. One who remembers the past lives and love, and one who doesn’t, but feels the connection between them. Sunny is also dealing with depression and mental health issues, and is constantly trying to claw her way back from the loss of her sister. In Byzantine she finally feels something new, but they have A LOT to work through.

There are the classic dark romance tropes (touch her and die, I would burn the world for you…), but in this story they feel different, more somber almost desperate as Byzantine tries to correct his own past actions to prevent the loss of his love and soul. You feel for them both, and every page you desperately hope that Sunny holds on and they find their way back to each other in this lifetime.

Wonderful audiobook

I read this book when it first came out and have read the other books in this series since. I decided to do a reread with the audiobook and it was amazing. I loved the narrators. I loved the story. There were just so many good things about this book and this audio version

"I am a collection of moments. Moments, I wish I could forget."

I wanted to love this book because the blurb peaked my interest, but I felt like nothing ever really happened. I just wanted there to be more. I did like that the mental health aspect was more realistic than in a lot of books. It showed that it takes time to work through things. There isn’t any magical fix.

Beautiful story

I recently discovered Naomi’s work and I am such a huge fan now! This book was so perfect! I loved how unique the storyline was, the characters were fantastic, and the spice was hot! The narrators really did the book justice and really had me feeling all the emotions. Can’t wait to check out the next one in the series!

🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

The story line can be hard to follow because out of nowhere there is a spicy scene- like make your cheeks blush spicy. I ended up liking where the characters went in the storyline but like I said hard to follow.

Great Narration! Book was MEH…

I loved the narration. While I liked the unconventional theme, the story being told was very blah and boring. I have yet to not finish a book but this was one that I almost quit.
