About this listen
What happens when the love of your life refuses to love you back?
Jesse McCallister. Motocross legend. Reckless heartbreaker. And the love of my life. Too bad he only thought of me as his best friend’s little sister. Naïve and innocent. Only 18. Completely off-limits.
Unrequited love...was there anything more painful? Turns out there was - when he kisses you but has no memory of it. When he tells you his heart was broken and he doesn't believe in love. When he doesn’t want you kissing anyone else, but you're stuck in the friend zone.
Despite the odds stacked against us, my foolish heart refused to stop loving him. Now I’m falling under his spell. Drowning in his perfect lies. Addicted to his stolen glances and forbidden kisses.
I’m on a collision course with disaster and only one thing is certain...Jesse McCallister is going to ruin me.

Story
Growing up, Jude McCallister was the bane of my existence. My best friend. Fiercest ally. The most annoying boy in the world. At 18, the boy I loved to hate became the man I couldn’t live without. We were young. Madly in love. Invincible. Strong enough to weather any storm. Cocky enough to believe that no amount of time or distance could destroy us. When Jude finally returned home from overseas, it should have been cause for celebration. But the man I’d fallen in love with was gone, and in his place was someone I no longer recognized.

Shane Wilder: pro surfer, dream chaser, thief of my heart—and completely off-limits. It was infatuation at first sight. On our first date, he took me to watch the fireworks. It was a magical night of stolen kisses and whispered confessions under the stars. But it all came to a screeching halt when he asked the one question I’d been dreading: "How old are you, Remy?" Right guy, wrong time.

I was a small-town girl with big city dreams and more ambition than money to my name. He had everything—money, privilege, and the world at his feet. Opposites in every way, but that didn’t matter. We were lightning in a bottle, and everything felt possible when we were together. Life was perfect.

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.

My bride-to-be just had an allergic reaction, leaving by ambulance. Oh, and my ex-girlfriend just walked into the church. They say you have to see the signs when they are right in front of you. Maybe she was just mine to have.

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.

Someone is stalking Audrey Young. And she has no idea why. Complicating matters is her landlord and new neighbor, Josiah Haven. She doesn’t usually go for the big, surly lumberjack type. But there’s something about that broody man. He intimidates her a little, but she kind of likes it. She could totally handle the mess that is her life, except the strange feeling of being watched is just the beginning. Next thing Audrey knows, she’s a target, and she doesn’t know who’s behind it or why. For Josiah Haven, none of that makes her his problem.

It’s been three years. It’s time to let go of the past. When a man covered in tattoos walks into the bar where I work, with a guitar case slung over his back and a determined swagger, I think I’m finally ready to move on...until I see his guitar. I’d recognize it anywhere. It was the last gift Nate ever received from his father.

Football star. Single dad. And once, a long time ago, mine. I’ve spent the better part of a decade forgetting Ford Ellis. If he had just stayed away from Montana, I might have erased the memory of his striking blue eyes and rugged smile forever. Avoiding him was easy when the only place I saw his face was on ESPN—and a remote control could fix that problem.

You have to listen!
This book grabbed my attention from the first chapter and never let go. That isn’t easy to do. There are lots of books that drag through the first few chapters while setting up the story and they bore me, but this did not do that. This book melted my heart, not to mention it was 🔥! Click that button and use a credit, because it’s worth it.

Ever since Quinn was a little girl, she has always believed Jesse was her one true love. Unfortunately, the sentiment was never returned. Until years later, when Jesse is back and she’s determined to have one unforgettable summer with him before, she heads off to college.
Jesse is a motocross racer who has had his heart broken and career derailed. He’s decided to “retire” from the sport and head back home to Texas for the summer. What he never could have expected is Quinn being the healing balm for his broken heart.
Their story is full of emotions, angst, longing stares, secret kisses, and delicious tension that had me devouring the pages. Emery perfectly captured the beauty, pain, anguish, drama, resistance, and unrequited love when it came to Quinn and Jesse. It may have taken a bumpy road to get us to their HEA, but she did it wonderfully.
This book was narrated in dual by Charlotte North and J.F. Harding. I have loved listening to Charlotte and J.F. before, so I knew I was going to thoroughly enjoy their performance, and I absolutely did! Charlotte portrayed Quinn’s naivety and youth immaculately but also her strength, bravery, and honesty, too. She brought Quinn’s growth and confidence to the forefront that you couldn’t help falling in love with her. J.F. depicted Jesse’s rough edges and wounded soul perfectly. His anger, fears, and moody exterior were his ways of protecting himself but once we got to pull the layers back piece by piece, we got to see that Jesse is also a hardworking, thoughtful, and generous man that’s worthy of unconditional love. Together, Charlotte and J.F. brought the heat, tension, and chemistry of these characters for an all-around wonderful listening experience.

Quinn and Jesse
Age Gap is my least favorite trope but I liked this book. I read it first and just now got around to listening to it. I loved the narration. The narrators did a spectacular job. I never want the McAlister Family’s story to end.

DNF 😕
I’m giving up. The story had potential, but it fell short for me. I just didn’t feel the connection and I wasn’t a huge fan of the female main character. I’m still considering buying Ridge’s story, but we’ll see.

The story was all over the place. I found myself rolling my eyes during so many parts of the story. Just not a great story.
