De: Ashley Sands

Narrado por: Rosalina Grace, Sebastian Gill

In the midst of nature’s fury, among the howling winds and relentless rain of a tempestuous hurricane, a love neither anticipated nor sought blooms in the most improbable of circumstances.

Bailey, a headstrong and independent woman, finds herself trapped with the one person she least expected, her father’s best friend, the charismatic and enigmatic Ryan. As the storm rages outside, a different kind of turmoil brews within them. Bound by the shared urgency of survival, they discover a connection that defies age and convention.

But just as they tentatively explore the possibility of a future together, a distant rumble signals a new arrival, Bailey’s father. The reunion is fraught with tension and emotions. As truth and unveiled and heartfelt consequences are shared, everyone must grapple with the aftermath of their choices. Ryan, haunted by his feelings for Bailey and the potential consequences, must confront his own fears and vulnerabilities. Bailey must find a way to stand up for the man she loves, even if it means ruining her relationship with her father.

Will their love be a casualty of the storm, lost amid the chaos and turmoil? Or will it emerge as a beacon of hope, defying all the odds?

In this tale of love, sacrifice, and resilience, Forbidden Friend captures the essence of human complexity, the fragility of emotions and the enduring power of the heart’s whispers, even in the face of the most formidable of challenges.

Forbidden Friend is a vacation steamy age-gap romance with plenty of heat, guaranteed HEA and no cliffhangers.

Forbidden Friend!

This is a fast paced read with a wide range of emotions from angst and anger to passion, love and joy. It is an age gap romance that is a touch forbidden. It is a short and quick read/listen about Bailey and Ryan, her father's best friend. Bailey and Ryan are forced to hunker down during a hurricane. The attraction, temptation and pull between them is more then they can resist. What happens when her father finds out? This is a hot and steamy read with some family drama, passion, almost instant love and more. The narration of this story was nicely done and really brought the story and characters to life.

Age-Gap Romance

This is the second book in the Forbidden Romance series. Bailey and Ryan's age-gap romance is sweet and cute. Rosalina Grace and Sebastian Gill did a good job bringing this story to life, but the sound quality (female) needs some improvement.

𝑷𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆:
Forbidden Friend is a contemporary, new age romance that takes you on a cute journey of love between a young woman - Bailey and an older man - Ryan. The chemistry and relationship between these two characters was filled with passion and understanding.

The narrators did a good job of reading the story. The male narrator was reading at ease and totally calming. His environment was also peaceful and quiet with no distraction. However, the female narrator's environment was a little distracting.

Ꞇɑꮶɛɑᤐɑƴ:
Love doesn't always follow the norms, sometimes the love we need is found is something forbidden.

love amidst the storm

This is book 2 of Forbidden Romance and a standalone story. This is a story that caught my attention. It is well written with erotic scenes amidst a age gap love story with a happy ever after. Take one woman on an island in the middle of a hurricane and the best friend of her father who has come to rescue her.

Age gap/father’s best friend

Bailey is more concerned about saving the turtles than the impending hurricane. Unbeknownst to Bailey, her dad sends his best friend, Ryan. Ryan is a pilot so he can rescue Bailey. Bailey wants Ryan but Ryan is hot and cold. Ryan wants Bailey one minute and then he doesn't. Ryan is concerned how Bailey's father will react. Eventually Bailey and Ryan decide to make the most of their time by riding out the hurricane and also each other. Is this just a hot fling or a lasting relationship? Will Bailey's dad accept his best friend having feelings for his daughter?.

Love, Turtles, and a Whole Lot of Insta-Love

They fight their attraction with the same effectiveness as battling a hurricane with a paper towel. It’s very insta-love, but with the forced proximity, it just works. Plus, the turtle rescue? Adorable.

Bailey and Ryan are in completely different places in life, and at times, Bailey’s attempts to seem mature only highlight how young she is. But Ryan? His painfully awkward yet perfect conversation with her dad—his friend—was exactly why I love these kinds of books.

I thought the sound issues from book one were fixed, but Chapter 11 proved me wrong. There’s a loud whooshing noise (airplane? Wind tunnel? No idea.) that nearly drowns out the narration, and it happens more than once, which was a bummer.
