About this listen

A company buy-out. An arch nemesis returns. A crush that never went away.

Wil thought she had the world ahead of her—eight years of experience in her job, her temper under control and working for her, and a manager who understood her. All Wil's fears tumble out when her best friend's stepmom becomes her new manager. No longer able to hide who she is, Wil fights to control her temper and crush on the one person she's never been able to hold back on.

Lynda has worked hard to get where she is, but when she takes over a new financial company, she knows she has to lay low and rebuild her reputation. When the opportunity arises to work with her estranged stepdaughter's best friend, she leaps at the chance to reconnect. She never thought the past would haunt her and the memories of her husband's death would resurface.

They never wanted to see each other again. Will they be able to overcome their mutual past and find love in the person they least expect? What will happen when fire meets ice?

When the Past Finds You is an ice queen age gap lesbian romance with bisexual and demisexual representation. It's a story of grief, loss, and how three people grieve differently from the same tragic death.

Age Doesn’t Matter

A bitter history of hostility and anger. Wil was an angry teenager and Lynda was her best friend’s stepmother. Now they meet again as Lynda’s company takes over Wil’s employer. Strong characters and lots of romance. Narrrators are perfect.

Great Story!

The plot development was excellent. The going back and forth in time to young teens, mid-teens, and young adults to present time. Their interactions with Linda was crucial during those periods of time to present time Linda and Wil.

Their relationship past to present was intense. At best it was hostile at the beginning to the end when it became intensely emotional and erotic.

The story was great and the narrators were excellent!

Crying again; but a long story.

I thought we would never get anywhere. It took so long to get into the love affair. Too much anger in the story that just didn't seem to go away until near the end.. Still, I lked the story.

Can the pieces be put back together when the glue that held them together is shattered and unexpectedly ripped away?

How can love endure when the anchor of the family is no longer there? Buried in their own grief and self preservation, attempts to move forward only drive them further apart.
Anger, abandonment, misconceptions.
Can it be too late to fix this…is there any love left to even try?

Well written. Great story.
Very much enjoyed the two main points of view narrated by two different actors. The listener gets to feel the desperation and fear of the characters as well as their separate journeys to making something new.

Good story, strange narration choice...

I loved this book, it was well written and the characters were great. I didn't enjoy the choice to have 2 different narrators. Each narrator on their own is great (Lori Prince is actually amazing, she's my fave!!) but the switch between the 2 was distracting...they have very different voices so it was hard to reconcile the characters as having 2 different voices.

Warm Feelings/ Complex Sitúation

I was not sure I would appreciate the start and progression of this romance. However the narration and writing inspired me to continue listening and I am very glad I did. All four characters were able to move forward and it was very nice to reach the resulting relationship that they all enjoyed. I highly recommend this book. It has enough turmoil and complexity without the huge roller coaster of most enemy to lovers type storylines.

I have read and listened to this book and absolutely love it. Both narrators are wonderful. I am so excited for the next book! This story has so many layers that are made up of sorrow, joy, love, and humor.
