The Partner Plot

De: Kristina Forest

Narrado por: Aure Nash, Benjamin Charles

Two former high school sweethearts get a second chance in this marriage of convenience in this USA Today bestselling romance by Kristina Forest.

To Violet Greene, fashion is everything. As a successful celebrity stylist, she travels all over the world, living out her dreams. Professionally, she’s thriving, but her personal life is in shambles. After surviving a very public breakup with her ex-fiancé six months ago, Violet is now determined to focus on her career. But life hands her something—or rather, someone—that might derail everything…

Xavier Wright did not expect to run into his high school girlfriend Violet—the girl he once thought he’d marry—on a birthday trip to Vegas. As a high school teacher and basketball coach, he rarely leaves his New Jersey hometown, so what were the chances? But when the initial shock wears off, they decide to celebrate together. They feel young and reckless as they party the night away—and reckless they clearly were when the following morning, they wake up beside each other with rings on their fingers.

Their impulsive nuptials might be a blessing in disguise, though, when they realize that both of their careers could benefit from the marriage. So they play the part of a blissfully wedded couple. Yet when their passion comes hurling back, they realize their feelings are just as real as they were back when they were teens. But are their lives too different to stick it through or will they finally get a happy ending?

Reseñas de la Crítica

“The Partner Plot is a top tier second chance romance. The pining! The heartache! The spice! Kristina weaves a love story that feels familiar yet entirely fresh. Xavier and Violet jump off the page and directly into your heart. You’ll be shouting at this book as you read, but all along you’re just rooting for them to get over themselves and fall into each other and when they do… *sigh*. Kristina could write my to do list and I’d read it faithfully. This fantastic book is no exception.”—Erin Hahn, author of Built to Last and Friends Don’t Fall in Love

“The Partner Plot is everything I’m looking for in a romance. Violet and Xavier’s swoon-worthy second chance journey stole my heart—a chemistry-filled and thoroughly satisfying exploration of what it takes to turn first love into forever love. I’ll read anything Kristina Forest writes!”—Ava Wilder, author of Will They or Won’t They

"Forest's novel is a sweet portrayal of first love and second chances. Violet and Xavier are memorable, real, and vulnerable as they struggle with career sacrifices and the fear of more heartbreak. Yet they were destined from the start—and Forest's romance never misses a shot. A second-chance slam-dunk."—Kirkus, starred review

Love black rom-com

I have “binged-listened” this series and enjoyed the love stories from the Greene sisters. The Partner Plot is my fave so far, I can’t wait to check out “The Love Lyric” next.

Sidenote: The Partner Plot received a 5 because the narrators were more aligned with characters and the storyline was everything —all around awesome!

Great read

Love that each sister gets their shine - loved reading Violet’s story. I’m happy she finally gotten her forever after.

Lovely Book

Thoroughly enjoyed this book! I hope there’s a sequel. Loved the story line of chasing dreams and not being afraid to be your true self

Love story!

Need a romantic love story?!,? This was it. So sweet andloving. This book was realistic and relatable ,

Great continuation of this series.

Loved the exploration of the main characters giving them a bit more levity. The plot took a while to build but was a fun ride afterwards.

Fun, captivating, and easy read!!

I love this series!! Can more sisters be added to the Greene family so the series can continue after Iris? I can't wait for the third installation next year!! I've been obsessed with Black romance this year and this book was cute and fun! I loved the storyline & the development of Violet's character. Do yourself a favor and start the series!!

"If You Love Somebody Let Them Go..."

This was such a wonderful depiction of "First Love" at its finest. I really liked Lily & Nick's Story and how they met in book 1, but I LOVED Violet and Xavier's second chance romance story even better. The author made everything feel so relatable and authentic between them both. I felt like I went in a time warp back to my high school days, and I could remember all the feels from my first love experience.

The way life intervened at just the right moment to put them at the same place at the same time was KISMET! No matter how much they tried, they couldn't help but be drawn to each other from the 1st time they layed eyes on each other. Their story was definitely a "If you love somebody let them go. If they come back, then they were always yours."

The author made me feel their deep love for each other while also sharing their pain and fear of being hurt. I appreciate the character growth from high school to adulthood and how their time apart allowed them to live their own lives and find their true callings and passion. The way they supported each other, especially in the midst of a lie, was beautiful 💚.

Kudos to the narrators who brought the characters to life. The female narrator was amazing as she made the voice of each person their own. I can't wait to listen to Iris's story next!

Sweet story

The high school sweetheart tagline and intro will hook you but the slight bumps along the way will keep you. I don’t like saying negative things but the narrations kind of affected this story for me, but overall it was a sweet romance and I enjoyed listening. Finished it in 1 day and a half

A Beautiful Love Story

This was such a great book with a great story line, good flow, and great narrators. There are likable characters and antagonists you can appreciate. I love how the author laid out the story by mixing the timelines together. It was done flawlessly. Listened to the first two books back-to-back. Can’t wait for the third book to come out in February (2025)!

Such a good slow burn

I loved this story so much. I love the complex characters, pace of the storyline, and beautiful slow burn.
