Duración: 3 h y 11 m

Resumen del Editor

As a 19-year-old wunderkind doctoral candidate, Ian Waters had little interest in social interaction. Books were his companions, and that had suited him just fine. Then a hurricane named Jessen Sørensen blew into his life, throwing Ian off his axis.

On the cusp of rock stardom, Jessen had burned brightly, and Ian had fallen heart-first under his spell. But Ian soon learned he was only a temptation, a pit stop on the road to the rocker's dreams, and Jessen was gone as quickly as he'd come. Ian buried his heartache in academia, the only home he'd ever known.

When Ian encounters Jessen at a party, the seven-year separation seems insurmountable. There's too much pain, too much distrust. But Jessen declares he has a new dream, and that's a life with Ian.

Any additional comments?

Fast forward is about Ian and Jessen. There pretty opposite, but Have intense chemistry. Ian is quit, Jessen is more out going . I wasn't fond of Jessen for a little bit, but he redeems himself. This was a fast passed story, with all the feels. I couldn't put it down once I started . The narrator did a great job as well. I can't wait to listen to more books by this author:)

wish the story was longer

deep and emotionally a strong fast read. the story didn't truly depict why Jesson left Ian. I feel that Ian forgave Jesson too easily. This was my first MM read, and also my first Xio Axelrod read, and I think she did a great job for a short story!!

Fantastic Love Story

I may be a straight female, but I want a love like this! Jessen and Ian's love affair had been intense but ill-timed. Now seven years later, these two men are unable to forget the love that had quickly grabbed hold and fiercely hangs on. This second chance romance is the perfect amount of love, lust, broken hearts and mended souls. There are plenty of hot scenes, but there is also emotional depth. I loved it! While M/M romance may not be everyone's choice, a love story like Fast Forward deserves to be told. After all, "Love is everything."

Loved this Second Chance Romance!

This moving, and sensual romance captured my heart and wouldn't let go. This was a quick emotional love story about awakenings, forgiveness, and second chances. Jesson and Ian meet again after a heartbreaking separation 7 years earlier. This short story is expertly told in flashback sequence. It beautifully shows their first meeting, passionate affair and now their battle for forgiveness and true love.
The narrator,Tristan James, did a wonderful job setting the scenes and conveying both men's emotions. This is the first time I've heard James and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Even though this is a quick and short story, it has a depth that makes it totally satisfying. I definitely recommend this book.

Enjoyed this

This was very enjoyable listen on a lazy afternoon. I liked the story but only wished it was longer. Would definitely read and listen to Xio and Tristan James again.

Jessen and Ian's story

Read the story and enjoyed it. Hearing the words out loud was even better. Wanted to hear what Jessen would sound like. Reader did good job

My Thoughts on Fast Forward

This quick novella managed to pack so much story into so little time. I got to experience the fall, the crash, the heart break and the steps to mending that I look for in a romance story.

The two main characters had a whirlwind romance that swept them up before life and the pull of others tears them apart. I was completely caught up in it all.

This newest author and narrator both did a fantastic job and I look forward to experiencing more from them in future.

Jeg elsker denne boken (i love this book)

This was such a fantastic short, my only complaint is that I wish it was longer because I loved every second of it! I have also started learning Norwegian and so Jessen from Norway was a lovely surprise. You can tell the author and narrator did a lot of research and put thought into the book because the Norwegian and the accent Tristan James uses is believable. I liked the heat between Jessen and Ian is unmistakable and fantastic to read- with Tristan’s silky voice that compliments it and makes you shiver!
this was a short book with amazing detail and I did not feel anything was left out of rushed, as other short stories tend to be. It is a new author for me and I am now anxious to read more of her work, her writing was great and very touching and sweet. It was also funny at times with Ian’s internal banter and freak-out moments. It was such a fantastic read I really want to listen to it again and again. I just felt like I was too falling in love, in all the flashbacks, and that is something I really adore in books- they make you feel with the characters.

DEEPLY TOUCHED MY HEART

Any additional comments?

I was provided this audiobook through Audiobook Boom at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review.

There's an innocence to Ian that is... precious... endearing... and the way he melts under Jessen's touch... so pure... breathtaking...

Perfectly narrated, I loved this short story. It focuses on emotional depth, not dependent on peripheral descriptions or supportive characters. I was disappointed only in when it ended.

Two Thumbs Up!

Like a sweet caress

Ian and Jessen had a 7 year separation. Ian is determined to keep them separated but Jessen had quite a different plan drummed up. Ian and Jessen are so different. Ian is an academic and Jessen is a rock star, yet they are so perfect for each other.

The story was slightly rushed, making it a little hard to believe the connection but when they finally got together, the connection was believable. Oh so believable because this story was HOT HOT HOT. So, so much.

Tristan James did Jessen's accent, so it was easy to distinguish which character was speaking but it was difficult to distinguish between the narrative and Ian's conversation, if that makes sense. But his voice is very pleasant and he is a great narrator.
