Publisher's summary

A new emotional and angst-filled stand-alone taboo romance from USA Today and Wall Street Journal best-selling author Siobhan Davis.

He’s my 18-year-old son’s best friend, and I’m old enough to know better.

My marriage is falling apart, and Vander’s home life is tragic.

Yet, his broken parts speak to mine, and amid all the chaos, a true connection is formed.

The only peace I find is in those stolen moments when we share our darkest secrets and our deepest desires.

This thing between us has disaster written all over it.

But I’m powerless to resist the magnetic pull that draws us closer and closer.

Until lines are crossed, boundaries are broken, and everything I thought I knew about myself is undone.

This reverse age-gap romance contains mature scenes, dark themes, and situations that may push your boundaries. Listener caution is advised.

Emotional

This book takes you on an emotional journey of two souls that were meant to be together. After a lot of trials and tribulations to get to their happy ending.

Well Done Smutty Reincarnation Blues!

I'm on the 3 or 4 round of listening to this fantastic story. The plot, character development & narration is excellent. Have a background in Hypnotherapy & Regression, so I found this audiobook fascinating.

it's reverse age gap (which is fun) Herione is married to a scumbag and along comes a young guy who gets her at a soul level. Leading man is an old soul, very mature, together and wise beyond his years. The two have off the charts chemistry with a whole lot of angst along the way. Contains triggers of abuse, addiction, bullying and violence, but totally worth the dark to find the light. I highly recommend it!

Omg, wow!

I was hesitant because of the age gap but I’m so happy I purchased this book! 5/5 stars! And the narrators NAILED IT!

I love this so much!!

Oh my God, this audio is incredible! I fell in love with this book when I ARC read it, but hearing Sarah Puckett and Silas Hart as these characters made me fall in love even more! This is absolute PERFECTION!!!!

This is such a beautiful, heartbreaking at times, story of 2 souls always bound to find each other.

Always Meant to Be will break you, then lovingly piece you back together.

Siobhan Davis has this special way of writing these beautiful stories and creating these characters you will be completely invested in and rooting for from the very start.

This book has all the angst, some drama, more than 1 villain, and a love that conquers anything that gets in its way.

The way Vander loves Kendall with everything he is, I was swooning! And Kendall is such a relatable FMC and I just adore them both.

And that ending, so freaking beautiful!!!

Siobhan Davis has once again blew me away, and I can't wait to add this book to my Siobhan shelf ❤

age gap romance

Beautifully written. Emotional, romantic, conflicted, heartwrenching, challenges, taboo. A love for the ages that has meant to be forever in time.
Never expect the normal romance from Siobhan Davis. She masterfully written an age gap romance. This subject not often touched in books. older female, younger man. And why not? When there is love, it shouldn't matter.
This is one of the best stories I have listened to in a long time.The love, determination, the suspense, the self doubts, the fears, loss , forgiveness and the moments of love with friends and family made this so exceptional.
Sarah Puckett and Silas Hart narration is perfection. They bring depth to each character. I can feel each moment of emotion, anguish, anger, torment, throughout the story. Thank you for bringing this story to life.

very emotional story

wow. what a story. very emotional. very angsty. at times I was ready to strangle some of the characters. I couldnt believe someone could behave that way.
othertimes i died from the sweetness of the main characteres.

bottom line, i couldnt stop listening. it was a good story although felt a bit too long. lots of twists and turns.

I am not a big fan of duet narration so it took me time to get use to it, but I really liked Silas voice which was new to me narrator.

If you are into big emotional story with twists angsty drama this is totally for you. Also, there are triggers of abuse so please be advise.

IT'S AS GOOD AS ALL SIOBHAN'S OTHER BOOKS

Ok, I was a bit iffy regarding the age gap thing but again, age is truly just a number and when love comes to play in it, it doesn't matter what the age gap is, the heart wants what it wants and if its your soul mate or destiny to be together, no amount of numbers or ppl will tear you apart. Also, if you are into the whole reincarnation stuff, this book is definitely one you won't mind reading nor minding the age gap cause if its meant to be, it will be. I also feel somewhat relatable to this book tho the age gap isn't as big as these characters, I somewhat can relate to their love story and their chemistry and this intense pull you can't explain. I knew there would be obstacles in their relationship and I knew there was gonna be a possible parting for a time period but I did hate how long it was that they were apart.

Another thing, the book does jump right into both characters already somewhat have feelings for one another and love so their somewhat love chemistry does start right away.

Either way, I almost didn't read this book due to the age gap thing but I am so glad I did. And both narrators did a good job. I am looking forward to more books from this author as I an such a huge fan of her works. I've read almost, all her books already. I do still need to read the Finding Kyler series so I guess that's my next series to dive into.

I do recommend checking out this authors other books as they are all so so good. My favorite is the All of Me serie. That serie is pinned into my heart and I'm looking forward to reading it all over again.

You NEED this book

I cannot put into words what this book did to me. It completely gutted me then it consumed me from the inside out. I cried. I fell in love. I was angry. I was upset and I wanted to reach out and choke certain characters. This is NOW my all-time favorite 2022 read. You are so going to fall in love with Vander & Kendall and everything they had to go through. I was so excited this book came out in audiobooks because I now have both ebook and audiobook.
