What Was Meant to Be

By: Q.B. Tyler

Narrated by: Juniper Young, J.F. Harding

Three years ago, Jacob Price walked away.

After a whirlwind steamy affair, my father's best friend broke my heart.

He told me things were too complicated. Messy. Wrong. That we could never be together.

I knew he loved me, but the fear of ruining our family was too great. With too much at stake, he sacrificed our hearts and ended it.

Now, he's back, and he still wants me. He still loves me.

But now, I'm engaged to another man.

From Q.B Tyler, author of Love Unexpected, comes an all-new age-gap forbidden romance.

Required.

Good. The female's attempt at a male's voice was ... laughable. Almost ruined it for me.

Fun read, lots of spice, good read if you can get past the narrator for FMC

Moves along at a pretty good clip, lots of spice, a bit unrealistic but that’s pretty common in this trope, the main characters were a bit unlikeable given how they act, the narrator for the FMC was like nails on a chalkboard and I almost couldn’t get through, very nasally and whiny, the MMC narrator was great

Forbidden Love

Good book. Very well written. The sex scenes were SPICY INDEED!!! the characters were all very well contributed to. idk if I would read a part 2.

hot damn 🥵

now THIS was a wild ride of taboo… and I loved it??
I was trying so hard to not root for the FMC & MMC, but their chemistry was SO good.
And the spice?? It was spicing honey

What a wild ride!

Q.B. Tyler, unsurprisingly, did it again! This boo blends the taböo and delicious perfectly! It’s a gift she has of making it all make sense when there should be NO clarity and HEA, she makes it happen. Bravo!
This book was full of taböo situations that SHOULD have come off salacious but ended up sweet. Jacob and Whitney are couple goals. The chemistry and stëam levels were off the chain hot AF! Packed so full of yummy scenes I was guaranteed something to make me fan myself VERY frequently throughout the story AND still had story! Usually it’s either straight smüt, which I LOVE, or story with a little…whelp, as always with W.B., this had it all wrapped in one juicy story.
I tried to listen and read but once I started it was hard to stop and wait to be in my car to listen as o was fully immersed in the story from page one. Also, I wasn’t a huge fan of one of the narrators unfortunately. J.F. Harding always brings the heat and passion to his reading but I couldn’t get into Juniper Young for this role. Just don’t mess well for me.
All in all, loved this book from page one and I love how I can always come back to this author and not be disappointed.

Good story

I liked the book but this author has a habit of starting her stories in the middle, which I don't like. The book would have been great if it would have started at the beginning of their love story.

I love this book and everything about it.

4⭐️ | 3🌶️

10/10 on the narrators. I literally couldn’t stop listening.

Q.B. Tyler has done it again!

If these tropes are your jam:
• Age gap
• D@ddy k!nk
• Second chance
• Forbidden romance
• HOT doctor MMC
• Dad’s best friend

…then stop what you’re doing and pick this book up right now. Seriously, it feels like this book was tailor-made for readers like me—and probably you, too.

Let’s talk about my absolute favorite thing: the MMC (aka, the hot doctor) knows from page one that he wants the FMC. There’s no back-and-forth, no hesitation—he’s all in, and he’s ready to do whatever it takes to have her. That level of determination? Swoon-worthy.

What unfolds is what I can only describe as a HOT, TORRID AFFAIR—and I mean torrid in the best way possible. It’s forbidden, steamy, and full of moments that had me hooked from start to finish. Q.B. Tyler just has a way of making forbidden relationships feel like the ultimate guilty pleasure, and this book is no exception.

I genuinely loved everything about this story. The chemistry was off the charts, the angst was chef’s kiss, and the pacing was so addictive that I flew through it in no time. Honestly, I was devastated when it ended—I wasn’t ready to let these characters go!

Do yourself a favor and read this ASAP because I need someone to gush about it with. Trust me, you don’t want to miss this one.

SHE PEGGED HIM!!!

This book was so good kept me on the edge of my seat. And the things they did in the bedroom was WILD! Loved it!

LOVED IT!! JF Harding just makes everything better!

I loved this story. It was a quick(ish) listen, relatable and everything narrated by JF Harding is always more EVERYTHING!! Spicy, sweet, sad, hot… all the things!

If you love age gap romance, this is for you

the storyline, age gap, slightly forbidden romance troupe, and narration was spot on perfection. I'm horrible at reviews, but I loved this book.
