Summary

Successful Texas lawyer, Reade Walker, curses that damn song every time it plays, all too aware of the irony of its lyrics. After all, he has been secretly and painfully enamored with Jesse's girl, Gwen, for nearly a decade. It was love at first sight for him, but sadly she's not his girl. She belongs to the one man who betrayed him and knows Reade's hidden family secret. Yet, Reade can't seem to love anyone except the one woman he can't have. Or can he make her mine?

When Gwen Clark's senator husband runs off with his intern and all their money, the ensuing scandal turns her life upside down. Deserted, penniless, and desperate to provide for her six-year-old daughter, Gwen has no one to turn to but Reade Walker. The one man her heart desperately wants, but her pride dreads having to ask for help. Despite welcoming them into his home, it seems like Reade can barely stand being in the same room with her anymore, let alone under the same roof - in the same bedroom. But Gwen is determined to get her life back on track. It is past time to rediscover her own dreams...if only she can keep her aching heart from breaking all over again.

I want Jesse’s girl

Jesse’s girl is another hit with me from Tara September. I really like this author and her audiobooks.

Reade has always had a thing for Jesses girl. He never thought Jesse deserved her. Now Jesse has committed the ultimate betrayal Gwen needs help. At the centre of a scandal she’s desperate to escape, Reade finds he can’t do enough to find her a new home with him.

Gwen has a child and Reade soon finds he’s slipping into the life he’s always wanted. He can’t resist Gwen but can there change in relationship really work out when there is so much baggage.

I really like Verla Bond as a narrator. She has a smooth engaging voice. She reads this story so well.

Reade is a beautiful man and I like the way he safes the day even after all those years of thinking Gwen wasn’t his.

5 out of 5.

Sweet romance

This is a lovely sweet storyline. When things go wrong in life sometimes it’s for the best. Good characters and a great HEA. Brilliant performance from Verla.

Touching

Heartwarming story. Slow and steady plot, and totally believable. Nice, steamy and fun second chance.

Wonderful!

This was a fantastic friends-to-lovers romance! Reade has always been in love with Gwen, but she’s the one woman he could never have—until now. When Gwen’s world falls apart, Reade steps in to help, and it was heartwarming to see them finally get a chance at love. The chemistry between them is off the charts, and I loved watching Reade become a father figure to Gwen’s daughter.

Verla Bond did a wonderful job narrating! Her voice was smooth and expressive, perfectly capturing the emotions and making each scene feel authentic.

Would I recommend it? Absolutely! If you love swoon-worthy romance with great characters, family dynamics, and a perfect happily-ever-after, this one’s for you. Tara September has become a favourite author of mine, and I’ll definitely be checking out more of her audiobooks!

4.5 Stars!

When Gwen’s world is turned upside down after her cheating husband, Senator Jesse Clark, embezzles millions and flees the country, she is left penniless and humiliated in their small town. Now a single mum, she dreads asking for help from longtime friend Reade Walker, even though he is the one man her heart desperately wants and craves. Meanwhile, Reade has hid his true feelings for Gwen all these years and so has kept his distance. But when he offers her and her daughter free legal support and accommodation, with the proximity, he cannot help but not stay away from Gwen. And this time, he vows to do whatever it takes to keep her and her daughter safe.

I really loved the romance in this. I especially loved Reades devotion to Gwen and you could also see his connection with Gwen’s daughter who also happens to be his goddaughter. I enjoyed their somewhat second chance romance. The small town vibes was also cute and sweet. The drama with Jesse was also entertaining. This was nice and short, and pleasant to read/listen to.

I listened to the audiobook which was narrated by Verla Bond. Her portrayal of Gwen and Reade was on point!👌 She captured the emotions of each character and brought the overall story to life!

Friend to lover sensual romance with happy ending

This is a friend to lover romantic novella with relatable characters and sensual romance. I listened to this story in audiobook form, and it was enjoyable. The narration is professional, and her interpretation of the characters and the plot immerses the reader in the story making it an authentic experience.

The plot is easy to follow with great sensual tension between Gwen and Reade. There is also a charming family element to this story, which makes the happy ever after more rewarding. This easy to listen to audiobook is perfect for lovers of sensual romance and happy endings.

I received a copy of this audiobook from the author in return for an honest review.

A novella with plenty of interesting detail!

It always amazes me when authors write novellas that have an in-depth plot, with adequate detail, that includes the present day events as well as a relevant backstory. Tara September really does justice to this story and she manages to throw in a pretty big plot twist for good measure. There is angst, confusion and chemistry in this tidy package of an audiobook. It is a well narrated, quick and easy listen!

This audiobook was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
