Maybe Someday

A When the Past Finds You Standalone

De: Adrian J. Smith

Narrado por: Lori Prince, Quinn Riley

Unworthy. Married to a ghost. Will fate bring these two together?

Chris Murphey is a drunk and not proud of it. Sobering up changed her life, and she's ready to make amends. But she won't fall in love again. One night is all she's willing to give, and the cute young woman who is new to town seems like she might just fit the bill. Until Chris screws that up too. Because no principal should sleep with their former student. No principal should sleep with a current parent. Will Chris ever make a right decision?

Widowed two years ago, Ashton Taylor is finally moving closer to family. With her two young girls struggling, Ash is determined to keep her focus on them. Besides, no one can live up to her late wife. She never expected that the English teacher who still haunts her would be the principal for her girls. But more than that—they slept together last weekend. Ash knew there was something familiar about Chris.

With secrets kept on all sides, will Ash and Chris be able to navigate just one more complication? Or will the next surprise collapse their house of cards?

This steamy age-gap romance is full of self-discovery and risking for love. If you enjoy romance with depth, this is the story for you.

another perfect story

As expected Ms Smith did another perfect story! The Narrators are as usual wonderful. The ending was not as informative as I would have liked but it still was good.

Sweet Story!

This was a very good, sweet story. Chris finally has found love. It is somewhat complicated. The woman Chris fell for is actually a former student and the mother of two of Chris’s students in the school she’s the principal of. The plot development was wonderful! Totally awesome! The main characters were both really good and had excellent chemistry! Overall, the book was excellent and the narrators were also excellent!

Loved

I loved this intriguing book of hope and desire its fill with passion and sex but a story line that will prove any romantic heart to fall in love with the joining of these two people who dearly deserve to find love and with each other. One of the best books!

Loved it

This was the 3rd book of the writer and group of women, and I loved all three. It is well written, rises good topics, excellent MC. Narration was excellent and I loved to add Quin Reiley to the list of my preferred narrators.

Wow!

This series keeps getting better and better! I’m happy I stumbled across it! I hope there is more to come!!

Sweet and Surprising

This was a good conclusion to the series. It was a little more steamy than expected.

Fantastic ending to a great series

I read this for the I Heart Sapphic 2025 Reading Challenge for the prompt Starting Over.

I so love this series. I won’t be surprised if I listen to all five books again next year.

CW: alcoholism, death of a partner (past)

Quick Thoughts:
- Oh my god the angst in this is delicious. It takes a lot of skill and courage to really let it reign while keeping it believable and not let it slip into frustration
- Absolutely love that the couples from the previous two books are not only in this book but are important to the story (especially since they are important to Chris)
- This book does not pull any punches about how devastating alcoholism is to not only the alcoholic but to their family as well
- I liked Chris in the other two books but I ended up absolutely adoring her in this
- Can any of the characters from these books NOT get into relationships that cause a work conflict of interest?
- You can skip Don’t Quit Your Daydream (character and storyline wise, it’s an excellent story though and I recommend it) but the others should be read, in order, to get the full experience of this book
- There are two strap scenes and dang were they hot. Still fanning myself
- My biggest complaint with this series is how murky the timelines are between the books. You get a general idea but it would have helped to get a better understanding of how events are connected and when they take place in other books
- Lori Prince and Quinn Riley were amazing as usual. This was a duo that I want another billion books read by them

Overall this book is a perfect ending to this series. I really feel like this series is a turning point in Adrian J. Smith’s writing journey from fun and good to really something special. I’m very glad I started with the Indigo B&B series to get the full experience of it. She had firmly cemented her place as one of my favorite authors and an auto-buy without needing to read the synopsis.

not big on the 2 narrators

but I loved the story and I thought Ashton was a bit mean at times but I guess I can understand grief 😞

First from this author

Just found this author. This is so well written. I will definitely read more from her. I also love the narrators. They bring the characters to life.

Hit the home run

Emotional hurricane mixed with the steamy lust and the dust of two haunted past. This book is heartwarming and hilarious in the same paragraph. A goofy love mixed with the deepest emotions.
