Summary
From New York Times best-selling author Penelope Ward comes a friends-to-lovers story spanning more than a decade....
At first, I thought I’d hate spending the summer with Archie Remington—the conceited son of my parents’ friends. What I knew about Archie: He was gorgeous, pre-law, and had always treated me like I didn’t exist when we were younger. When our families bought a house together on an island in Maine, he and I were forced to share a bathroom.
The boy I remembered was now a full-grown man—but with the same attitude. After a rough start, Archie and I unexpectedly started getting along one day and eventually became friends. We shared secrets and bonded during our morning jogs. I discovered that Archie had a wild spirit and that he struggled to conform to his father’s expectations.
Things were cool until I had to go and ruin it, getting drunk one night, and blurting out my fantasy—involving him.
I took it back, but it was too late. Archie had heard me loud and clear. After that, we never quite knew how to toe the line. When that summer came to an abrupt and shocking end, I headed back to college, unsure if anything would ever be the same again. Across the miles over the years, he and I stayed in touch as friends, but fate and timing always kept us from becoming more.
You know the saying: If two people are meant to be, they’ll find their way back to each other?
Let’s just say Archie came back into my life in a way I would’ve never expected. And this time, my heart would really be put to the test.

Mind Blowingly Brilliant …
Seriously mind blowing! Be prepared to feel every emotion known to man with this magnificent book. Penelope’s best by far. The main characters, Archie and Noelle, have the most complicated story I’ve ever read. I felt over powering lust, love, sadness, shock, pity, irritation, frustration, adoration - the list of emotions is endless. Without ruining the story I will say it’s the most compelling read/listen I’ve encountered so much so I listened to it in one sitting as I couldn’t stop. This is a MUST read. Enjoy.

Toe the line
I liked everything about this book. It was so well written so well coordinated the characters were so realistic. I loved all the twist and turns haven’t been able to put the book down since I started it. I have to listen to every chapter I couldn’t stop listening a really great book. I would recommend to anyone. I can’t wait to read the next book loved it.

A second chance at love
Erin Mallon and Jacob Morgan narrate this friends to lovers, second chance at romance love story perfectly. Two of my favourite narrators bringing the story to life. I always find myself upset when a story doesn’t go the way I want it to, so I was upset quite a bit throughout this story. Why? Because Archie and Noelle waited years to get their happy ever after, and if I’d have had my way they wouldn’t have had any significant others, but I’m no author, and my story would have been boring. This is far from boring. It’s beautifully written, perfectly narrated, and has just enough angst and drama to keep you entertained throughout. Will they, won’t they? When, how, why. I loved it.

Another Winner by Penelope Ward
Penelope Ward, how do you do what you do. Archie and Noelle are the true definition of delayed love. Toe the Line is absolutely amazing, well written, well narrated.

A slow burner
Can't believe the two main characters were so patient, indirect and understanding. People aren't really like that. Story was okay but soooooo slow,
