“Friends…”

Lesbian Romance

De: Jamie Quinn

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

In the bustling city where ambition meets secrecy, two lifelong friends find themselves navigating the complexities of love and identity amidst the challenges of their demanding careers. “Emma,” a dedicated trauma doctor at the local hospital, has just emerged from a long-term relationship with a man that left her questioning everything she thought she knew about love.

“Sophie,” a policewoman, has always been fiercely protective of her career and her heart. Outwardly confident and committed to serving justice, she has kept her sexuality hidden for fear that coming out could jeopardize everything she’s worked for. When Emma’s recent breakup leaves her vulnerable and in need of support, Sophie insists that Emma move in with her—an arrangement that brings them closer than ever before. With her life seemingly on track, she is still haunted by unacknowledged feelings for her best friend.

As they share a home filled with laughter and late-night conversations, tension simmers just beneath the surface. Sophie grapples with her growing attraction to Emma while trying to maintain the façade of their friendship. Meanwhile, Emma begins to notice subtle shifts in their dynamic; moments charged with unspoken desire linger in the air between them.
Complicating matters is Jake, Emma’s ex-boyfriend, who reappears unexpectedly. His presence stirs up old feelings and creates doubt about what Emma truly wants.

With each passing day spent together—cooking dinner, binge-watching shows on lazy weekends, or simply sharing quiet moments—their bond deepens into something undeniably romantic. The slow burn ignites as they navigate shared experiences, from childhood memories to adult challenges in their respective fields.

As Sophie faces high-stakes cases at work that test her resolve and loyalty, Emma provides unwavering support while also discovering new depths within herself. Together, they embark on a journey of self-discovery that forces them to confront not only their feelings for each other but also societal expectations surrounding love and identity.

“Friends” is a poignant exploration of friendship evolving into romance—a story filled with emotional tension, vulnerability, and ultimately, the courage it takes to embrace love when it feels most forbidden. As they uncover truths about themselves and each other, will they find the strength to break free from societal constraints? Or will fear keep them apart when all they truly want is to be together?

As Sophie wrestles with jealousy and fear of losing their friendship if she reveals her true feelings, both women must confront their desires head-on.

Good story, awfully put together

The virtual voice doesn’t help but it kept repeating scenes with different dialogues over and over. So confusing, mixing the names and who was speaking. Awful. A good story but it needs to be re-narrated

it was sweet, but...

ok so the storyline is less of a line and more of an amorphous blob. This is written more like a collection of scenes then a linear story. In fact about half was through the chapters those scenes start to literally repeat with very minor differences. The sentiments in this book are very sweet and you do get some steamy scenes, but there isn't any drama like at all. It is like watching a hallmark Christmas special. oh the ai narrator... audible.. please just stop.. unless you can teach it to cl#t & not cleet... and the inflection of the narrator in the steamy parts just kill what little merit they possess. I am glad this was free....

Not a fan of this one.

To start, the Ai voice narration isn’t great. It lacks the emotion and takes away from the story. It’s hard to keep your attention. The story is really really slow. This book must be written by Ai as well bc some chapters it sounds like it rewinds and repeats the same few sentences over and over but with slight differences like it’s trying to decide which way the book should be written. I wouldn’t pay for this book (I listened as it was free with my subscription).

difficult to follow

seems like several versions of the story got mixed up and narrated in random order, some scenes come back multiple times in slightly different versions and then the story does not flow because of it...

Repetitive

Very confusing. Friends seem to tell each other right away that they are into each other then take forever to act on anything because they think they both don’t feel the attraction. Then once they finally act on it, the same sentences are repeated several times just worded differently.

Good storyline

My only issue with the story was it kept repeating the same lines over and over made you think he was going back in the storyline instead of four
