The Choice

Star-Crossed Lovers Duet, Book 1

De: Ashley Jade

Narrado por: Teddy Hamilton, Erin Mallon

The world thought I belonged to another man. They were wrong.

He was the mysterious dark knight, always swooping in to save me when I needed it the most. I was the troubled girl with scars and a bleeding heart.

He was the gifted guitarist destined for big things. I was the small-town girl battling her demons.

He was my earth, always keeping me grounded. I was his sky, always just out of his reach.

Our love was everything I wished for—until I destroyed it.

I never thought I'd see Memphis Payne again after I broke his heart, but the stars had other plans. Because here he is, needing me to clean up his mess this time. The only problem is—doing so will break both of our hearts.

They say only the strongest love can survive an apocalypse, that if two people are meant to be, they'll find their way back to each other. I hope they're right.

From USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ashley Jade comes a gritty, off-limits romance about mistakes, choices, and love conquering all. The Choice contains mature content.

2nd part of my finished review

I read or listen to a book a day, or at least E/O day. I have only had 1 other book emotionally effect me this deep. I could not finish that one because it involved a death of a child. This one I had to take breaks to reflect why I was so triggered.
Being held prisoner in a relationship you feel obligated and trauma bonded too is devastating on every level. 💔 😢 😔
I'm very happy to see we are going to get the rest in May, abd hopefully there will be some healing for everyone who's left.
When this story started in the Book The Words, I was extremely triggered when their characters were first introduced. Even though it was brief, it was deep. and way too familiar for some of us.

solid 4.5 ⭐

It was a really good story.. you just cant help but feel for these characters and fall in love with some and others not so much.

🚨.........May include spoilers below.......🚨




Though I loved the over all story and character development, I saw it coming a mile away...
I guess I just hate how emotionally weak the FMC is and it kinda pisses me off. But I can also see how both Memphis and Sky would fall for Josh's shenanigans, but it's so obvious he is a user and it's so clear how manipulative and narcissistic he is. it kinda hits home since I had a ex who kept me around by making similar threats, until the fog cleared and I saw he, like Josh, are too selfish to just end themselves without taking everyone down too.

Skylar and Memphis

I loved this story.
I need to hear book 2!!!!
Memphis deserves so much better, but so does Skylar!

stressful. not an escape. emotional

I am a fan if The Words so I listened to this one. I know these characters in the future. To get the foundation and background of their troubled childhood was upsetting. I want to know there is a haply ending after the Words.

Heartbreaking and amazing!

Narration was perfect. Cliffhanger left me…hanging. I cannot wait for the 2nd book to be released. Love the characters, very well written. This is one where they get inside your soul, leaving you hanging on every word and emotion.

Looking forward to book 2

I didn’t realize how badly I needed this backstory to better understand Skyler and Josh. Memphis’s involvement…just all of it is so much more than what I expected. I’m impatiently waiting for the second book to come out next month to get back to present day and hopefully see these two get their HEA. Also I want more deets on Phoenix and Lennon and how that big music family can come together.

This was incredible

I immediately need book 2. Will we ever get book 2? Who knows jury’s still out. Regardless I’m on pins and needles waiting.

Love triangles are the best!

Love the characters and can’t wait for next book! Memphis is my favorite character, love the voice actor his voice is smooth and velvety.

Loved this book!

This book was soo good! I love all of Ashley’s books and I LOVE Listening to Teddy Hamilton!! I don’t really care for Erin Mallon but the storyline is so good that I just suffered thru her parts.

The voice actors were perfect!

Wow, that’s the ending? This book chewed up my heart and spit it out. I absolutely love Skyler and Memphis. Josh is a manipulative jerk even if he does have his sweet moments. There were so many layers to this story and I loved it all. I laughed, my heart broke, I felt so much for these characters. I need more, that is all.
