Left of Forever

A Spunes Novel

De: Tarah DeWitt

Narrado por: Connor Crais, Megan Wicks

"Narrators [Megan] Crais and [Connor] Wicks bring the Byrds to emotional heights, perfectly capturing the adult voices of thirtysomethings Wren and Ellis." — Library Journal

An emotional, irresistible second-chance romance filled with sparkling humor, big feelings, and "melt your face off intimacy" (Jessica Joyce) from celebrated USA Today bestselling author Tarah DeWitt.

This time, they'll get it right.

Wren and Ellis Byrd fell in love as kids, had their son Sam when they were only teenagers, and built a life together in the coastal town of Spunes, Oregon. They were made for one another . . . until they fell apart. Now divorced and in their 30s, Wren runs the bakery in town, while Ellis works as a firefighter. They live separate lives, though they are hardly off each other’s minds.

When Ellis and Wren move Sam into college, Ellis convinces Wren to take an extended road trip back to Spunes to see if they can give their relationship one last chance. Amid the gorgeous California coastline and the intimacy they have missed for years, Wren starts to think it just might be possible. But can the past truly be left behind? When words fail and old wounds resurface, it’s a soul-baring letter that could finally reveal the truth—or close the door on them forever.

Emotional Second Chance

This was a very heartfelt and emotional examination of a relationship and what went wrong. Loved being back in Spunes and enjoying the cast of characters from the precious book as well.

Sweet, Funny, Moving Story

This story is so well written and performed that I could and would not stop listening til the end. It's that perfect combination of sweet, funny, and soul wrenching moving that it just pulls you in and doesn't let go until your smiling at the end. Not only is the story amazing but the performers make it come alive. My only critique would be that I wish I could've heard Ellis's thoughts and feelings more. However, overall I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book!! It has become one of those favorite treasured stories that I'll listen to again and again!

Second Chance Emotional Love Story ❤️

Not going to lie, my expectations were pretty sky high for this book when I started reading. The praise and hype gave me high hopes for my first five star read of July. Left of Forever is worth every single star I could possibly give to a book.... when you see this book on people's top reads lists - it is for a very good reason. It is simply the most powerful second chance romance I think I've ever read. I don't know if there is another MMC who captures the spirit of a true romantic hero more perfectly than Ellis Byrd. In his quest to win Wren back, he allowed himself to be vulnerable, he was open, honest, paid attention to details about what she needed and cared for her in such a beautiful way. Wren, in return, gave of herself and allowed the walls to come down to be free to open her heart and let Ellis back in. It was so obvious these two never stopped loving each other. This was a powerful journey to experience them growing back together. Listening to it on audio made an even bigger impact, the narrators were phenomenal - they gave me goosebumps and caused tears to well up in my eyes. Left of Forever is going to be a top read of 2025.

I usually don’t like 2nd chance romance but wren and Ellis really took the cake chefs kiss 😮‍💨

Beautiful.

Just finished this beautiful book and I’m still crying-good tears no fear!! This book was such a heartwarming book! I love a second chance romance and this one was done so well!! I loved that there was no miscommunication, after the second chance began, and that the two individuals were grown up and honest to each other. I laughed-the cooking class…omg, I was full invested in chapter 33, and I swooned in chapter 37. A must read in my opinion, one you will not be disappointed in. The narration by Connor Crais(one of my top 3 favorites) was so amazing, as always, as Ellis and Megan Wicks as Wren with her raspy voice brought her to a new level. Don’t hesitate on this 5 star 🌟 read!

Spunes !!

I freakin’ adore the Spunes series. Left of Forever was another excellent installment that punched me right in the feels. Second chance romance isn’t everyone’s favorite but it is sure one of mine because it very closely resembles my own love story. And finally, the narration was so, so good!! Heck of a job !!

Swooooon 😍😭

It's so good. Such a great love story, well written. Narrators were great, although I do wish it had been narrated in duet.

Absolutely a must read

This books is so tender and sweet and wonderful. It’s so clearly how much Ellis and Wren are soulmates right off the bat.

So relatable and raw! Loved it!

Left of Forever was SO good! This second chance romance follows a married-then-divorced couple, Wren and Ellis, as they try to find their way back to each other and it felt so real and relatable. Their chemistry was undeniable, and the emotional depth between them really hit. They have the tough conversations, confront their past, and slowly start to heal together.

It’s swoony, heartfelt, and even had some well-placed humor that made me love them even more. Wren and Ellis felt like actual people with flaws, history, and so much heart. If you’re into romances that balance real-life struggles with emotional payoff, this one’s for you. Definitely gave me all the feels.

Conner Crais is one of my favorite male narrators and he definitely did Ellis justice. Megan Wicks did wren really well also. Great dual narration audiobook
