Emotional and Surprising!

What a emotional shocking story! This has the high-highs of the bliss of a new relationship and the low-lows showing jealousy or betrayed feelings. I was surprised because I went in basically blind. The blurb doesn’t give a lot of information about what happens. It does say that Gray plans to get her back no matter what and I could *feel* the desperation coming off him. He wanted to just hold on once she showed back up. It made me feel all his emotions while going through this.

Overall its a good story and as briefly mentioned before it has a suspenseful/surprising look to it as well. I did like the relationship he has with his brothers and hope they will get their stories too.

I did listen to this in audio. Christopher Anthony and Isabelle Turner are both new to me narrators. They both are easy to listen to and did a good job encompassing the characters.

A Good Listen

The blurb left so much in the shadows and I appreciate that. I do feel like there was so much thrust upon myself as the listener at the very beginning. There's a whirlwind of side stories, recollections, and (hopefully) teasers that could lead to something more. The narrators were great at conveying their connections to the characters. Looking forward to more!

Excellent Story & Narration🎧Riveting & Heartfelt!

I enjoyed this book immensely, the story drew me in right from the start, grabbing my attention and captivating it the entire time. It is my first book written by K.L Kreig and certainly not my last, she is a gifted author with a wonderful writing style, her storylines are original and interesting and her characters are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with, they are easy to care about too. Gray Calloway wanted Livia Kingsley the moment he laid eyes on her and when she said yes to her proposal, he was the happiest man. But that happiness did not last because that was the last he saw of her, she disappeared without a trace or a goodbye. She left him heartbroken and angry, then five years later he sees her again, but when she sees him she tries to run. Livia thought she was going to have everything, a life with happiness with the man she loved, but that is not what happens. Her loser of a father got himself in deep with his gambling habits and he was to pay his debt with his youngest daughter, but Livia could not let that happen to her younger sister so she stepped in for her and she had to leave that night and marry Peter Wilder, an older man, a made man, a a very cruel man. She lived a miserable life in a marriage lasted five years, only freed after his death, and it was one of his men, Grant, who helped her start over again. She attended an event with her roommate, Kamryn and that is where she saw him, the love of her life, but she could not face him, for what she had done to him and for the marriage she wound up in, once he found out he would not want her, anyway. Gray was determined to get her again, no one came close to her in the years she was gone. But can he handle the truth, all that she endured and what they did to her, and will he look at her differently? He did not have to look very far to find her and as much as she wanted to keep her distance, she couldn’t. I loved watching these two get to know each other again, but they both have secrets, secrets that can ruin everything they are trying to have, everything they want to have. There is never a dull moment in this cleverly plotted story, it has the perfect balance of drama, angst, twists and turns, thrilling and suspenseful moments, heartfelt emotions, and some steamy romance. K.L. Kreig, thank you for this amazing story and emotional rollercoaster ride. 

🎧📚🎧 And for wonderful narration, Christopher Anthony and Isabelle Turner did an amazing job bringing these characters and their story to life.

These versatile voice artists are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for this great listen.

Contrived Angst

Forsaking Gray starts with a bang and instantly sets the tone for this romance, but it was the artificially created angst that bodged down the story

Emotional!

This was my first K.L. Kreig's book and won't be my last. This is the first book in the Colloway Brothers Series. The cover is beautiful. Gray and Liva's story is well written, emotional, and enthralling. Liva's story is heartbreaking. She is so strong. Gray is enigmatic, and handsome. They are both interesting characters. Their relationship is filled with angst, and miscommunication. I liked the unpredictable twists and turns. The supporting characters are great and intriguing. This is a great second chance to love. Christopher Anthony and Isabelle Turner did a great job bringing this story to life. Looking forward to listening to Undeniably Asher, the next book in the series. #PFPAudio
