When Forty Blooms

De: Jacinta Howard

Narrado por: Wesleigh Siobhan

A rare birthday. A second chance. A woman finally choosing herself.

Simone Harris has always known how to hold it down. For her son. For her clients. For the sports agency she built from scratch. She keeps things running, keeps herself moving, and keeps her heart tucked safely out of reach.

But this birthday feels different. It falls on a leap year, a date that only circles back every so often. A rare kind of day that feels like it arrives exactly when it’s meant to. The kind that makes you pause and ask what you have been pushing through just to keep going. In that stillness, something begins to surface alongside it. Fatigue. Questions. The quiet ache she has learned to ignore.

She is not falling apart. Still, something is shifting. The pressure she has lived under feels heavier than it once did. And as she begins to listen to what her spirit has been trying to say, the past reappears, bringing with it a familiar comfort, unfinished conversations, and a quiet invitation to feel again.

Therapy

This book was well written and preformed. JACKSON and Simone’s story of getting the help you need to better your relationship the second time.

Excellent

Jacinta Howard has done it again. I loved this book. I hope we get a book two on Tristin and Logan

A really good read

I really did enjoy the story and the narrator. This is a quick, yet pretty deep listen. It had me feeling all my feels.

A must listen!

The story is beautiful, full of humor and real love. The author didn’t shy away from the messiness of life. The characters were fully developed and rich in personality. As usual, Wesleigh did her thing narrating! Her vocal performances are without peer. I was fully immersed and the experience was exceptional!

Deep and I Loved it!

I liked the book...I didnt think that a book solely about the FMC could be interesting and have so many relvations. this book was everything and hit me deep...

Such a loving rollercoaster!

I loved this story of ups and downs and everything in between! Love can be much! But always worth it!

Wesleigh makes everything better

This was very soft and easy….no real drama….just a simple love story. I do feel that Logan and Tristans story may give a run for our money!!! I love jacinta…i just feel like this was just good and safe….I wanted more…not bad at all though

Yes love is messy but amazing!

I really enjoyed this book. I think it is because it was real. The relationship between Simone and Jackson was messy, complicated, and real. It also shows the true love will find a way, if you just allow it to do so.

Second Chance Romance

This books gives you all of the feels & the narration is chef’s kiss. I love, love.

Great Read!

A wonderful second chance love story with such relatable characters. I’m a new fan of the author!
