Want You Still

Length: 8 hrs and 58 mins

Publisher's summary

The heart always wants what it can't have...

Duty, honor, and sacrifice.
Dedicating my life to these elements, for family and country, leaves little for myself in return.
It's why I indulge in a no-strings hookup with a handsome stranger mere days before heading half-a-world away.
Except one night turns into a week-long fling, creating a connection at the most inopportune time.
And neither of us want it to end.
Staying in touch is easy at first, but dwindles to radio silence and distant memories as time passes.
I didn't expect him to reemerge in my life months later, now belonging to someone else.
It should be enough for us both to walk away.
To push down this relentless, aching want.
But we don't.
We can't.
Because the heart always wants what it can't have.

OMG this was so amazing....

Ricci and Valentine have produced wonderful works on their own..but together they created this masterpiece that was performed by the 2 of the most talented narrators Morgan and Johnson. "Want You Still" showed all the beauty and wonder of 2 people who weren't looking for love but found it in one magical, scorchingly sexy week. It captured the hurt when one person deliberately severs the connection and then later the angst when that couple is reunited but at the most heart-rending, inopportune time. That kitchen table conversation that Pierce has with the person he married about Will near the end was agonizing - I'm not saying who so no spoilers from me! The chapter with the letters going back and forth between Will and Pierce really touched my heart. This title will live rent free in my mind for a while....

5 starz - I would listen again.

10s, 10s, 10s Across the Board!

With these two authors and these two narrators this book is everything you'd expect. Stellar story, all the feels, delicious spice, and satisfying HEA.
I cried for these guys and I loved them. I felt their pain and their love. The best kind of books are when you feel like you know the characters, and you experience their emotions right along with them. That is good writing folks! When you blend that with superior narrators, some of the best voice actors around, you get a book that Gold! I can't praise the authors and narrators enough.
I absolutely LOVED, ADORED, SMILED AND COOED over the Easton and Cannon cameo. My heart!!
In summary, no question, get this book, you won't be sorry!

Wow. Wow. Wow! I could not put this down; listened to the whole thing in one day.

If you love intense heat, emotions, and angst, this book is for you. This author has not failed me yet with the quality of both the story and the writing. The MC’s are gasoline and a match from the moment they meet. Both narrators are perfect for their characters and add a lot to the whole book with their fabulous voice acting skills. I think they’re both now in my top five favorites with their silky voices and ability to make you feel deeply entrenched in, well, everything they do. There is a HEA, but you’ll really wonder how in the hell they’re going to get there. If I could give this ten stars, that’s what it deserves.

Amazing voice actors

This book is pure angst from beginning to end and I couldn’t love it more even if I tried. Is one of my top favorite reads ever.

Well if the point is to make you emotional then this def did it

I had so many feels listening to this. These authors writing is always good in that way. But one hold up I have is that I feel like a part of the story was missing.

*small spoiler* The apparent love between Pierce and Emily was a main stake in the plot, but we never saw it…. We got two glances into it and even that was barely anything. The apparent love so deep that made him leave behind Will was not present at all in the book. Also, Pierce was a selfish POS for 90% of the story. He redeemed himself at the end but I was boiling from his actions most of the second half of the book. Like I said, that’s def a nod to the authors for making me that angry.

Overall a good story, LOTS of angst though. Gonna need a pallet cleanser after this one.

Wow!! not what I was expecting

This writing duo is quickly becoming one I automatically buy. Outstanding writing on this one. what a story! Definitely, not at all what I was expecting to happen. So damn good! the narration is also top notch. Jacob and Zachary did a great job bringing this story and all of the characters to life. So worth listening to.👏❤🔥

So good!

Fantastic from the first word!! So good! The story line and narration will keep you hooked! I 💜 Jacob Morgan!

so-so story

I agree with the comments about the narration but the actual story didn't grab me and I found myself not paying attention. Not sure it's worth the credit and worth it of it goes on sale.

Jacob Morgan saved it for me!

I really expected the story to make sense, but sadly it didn't. Like, at all. Lucky me one of the narrator was Jacob Morgan, or I'd feel bad for spending money on this title.
