The Crush

By: Penelope Ward

Narrated by: Andi Arndt, Sebastian York

From New York Times best-selling author Penelope Ward comes a new stand-alone, second-chance story of forbidden love....

It’s natural to want the one you can’t have. And for as long as I could remember, I’d secretly wanted my brother’s best friend, Jace.

He was six years older and always treated me like the sister he never had.

Fast forward a decade.

We were all in our 20s now. Jace had moved in with my brother, Nathan, and me to help us make ends meet after our parents died.

It was just the three of us - an odd family dynamic.

Living under our roof, Jace was as bossy and protective as ever.

But he certainly didn’t look at me like a sister anymore. That was what made things so complicated.

I was pretty much hot and bothered 24/7.

And he was torn.

The signs were subtle at first. Like on movie night, I’d casually rest my leg against his, and he wouldn’t exactly shift away.

Still, I assumed he would never...go there.

Nathan would kill us.

The knowledge of that wasn’t enough to stop the inevitable, though.

Eventually our slow burn exploded.

But more than the physical attraction, we’d developed a strong connection.

We just couldn’t get caught, right?

That sounded simple.

Until it wasn’t.

This is a story of forbidden love, broken trust, and an unexpected second chance.

True love story

Jace and Farrah are two people who are in Love. They had a tough road to get to each other but it was all worth it. Penelope wrote the story very well. I love that she included highs and lows and funny comical relief. Well done Penelope, well done Sebastian and Andy.

Complicated love

Storyline was heavier than I thought it would be, but still good. Their love’s unexpected twists and unanswered questions keep you guessing. Good development of all characters and great narration. Ends on a good note. Worth the listen.
