Forever Jesse

Forbidden Series, Book 2

By: Andrea Smith

Narrated by: Alexander Cendese, Rachelle Williams

This book is the sequel to Loving Jesse.

My name is Jesse Ryan. I'm 30, single, and raising my nine year-old daughter alone. I'm a construction worker in Arkansas, and when summer rolled around, I knew I needed some live-in help with Scout. That's when September Dawson came back into my world.

She's a beautiful woman now, and a very resourceful one at that. She effectively ambushed a romance that was barely off the ground between me and a neighbor, but she didn't stop there.

Suffice it to say by summer's end, I was hers in every way. Yeah, I get that there's an age difference, but despite my better judgment and solid resolve, the heart wants what the heart wants.

And that brings us to now.

We've managed to keep our relationship discreet, but at the same time, planning our future together. Then we get...the news. Now everything we’ve been planning is suddenly and inexplicably torn from us.

Decisions need to be made, and everyone looks to me to be the one to make them. But how can I make a decision that will be in everyone's best interest, and not tear our hearts to pieces?

Great Ending

Once again the narrator's voice captures this story great. this journey was a crazy one. the ending is great and i love a HEA book. Just like with the last book though i wish it was a little longer. I want to spend more time with these characters. I want more with scout and how she comes along. but as the book is itself i love it. The hot scenes are just that hot as fire and it has the ups and downs that i love so much!! I think everyone will find something in this series to enjoy.

Fabulous!

Andrea can write a wonderful story! The plot was smooth and it built up to a great ending. It had lots of different twists and emotions. I laughed-out-loud a time or two.
Alexander and Rachelle were great narrators. They brought it to life and their voices portrayed each character with believable emotions!

Amazing Ending to the Forbidden Duet! Awesome🎧📚🎧

Jesse and September’s concludes in this second novel of the “Forbidden” series something I have been waiting for since that mind-mind blowing ending of the first book, “Loving Jesse”. I was kind of hating on the author for that ending, but I knew she had her reasons for that ending and that she would do the right thing for these characters in her next book. Well, it was definitely worth the wait, Andrea Smith not only redeemed herself but she went above and beyond with these characters and in the end taking them where they needed to be. With so many obstacles and road bumps, Jess and September’s journey was not an easy one, but in the end, they both got what they wanted and deserved. Those obstacles included not only themselves but Libby aka Sarah, Casey, the witch next door and even Brandon. This beautifully written and plotted story drew me in right from the start, grabbing my attention and captivating it the entire book. It was great to watch how far these characters have come, watching September grow in to her own and take charge of her life, Jesse finally standing up to what he wants and even Scout, who, like her sister, was wise beyond her years. Like the first book, there was never a dull moment, and I loved how everything played out, there was plenty of drama and heartfelt emotions, some angst, twists and turns and a romance that was years in the making, forbidden or not, I say not. Andrea Smith, thank you for another fantastic story and emotional rollercoaster ride, your brilliant mind never ceases to amaze and entertain me.

🎧📚🎧 And for the wonderful narration, Andrea Smith cast the perfect narrators to bring her characters and story to life. Alexander Cendese and Rachelle Williams are talented narrators and versatile voice artists. They had a complete understanding of the characters they portrayed, gave each a voice that was a perfect fit for that character’s persona, sounding believable and just as I pictured the characters to sound. Alexander Cendese nailed it as Jesse, carefree yet caring, Rachelle Williams played September with perfection. Both were great at performing the roles of the secondary characters as well. You could hear how much heart they put into their performance as they captured the characters’ emotions and projected them into their performance. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another fantastic listen.
