To Love Jason Thorn

By: Ella Maise

Narrated by: Lidia Dornet, Sebastian York

Length: 11 hrs and 20 mins

Publisher's Summary

Jason Thorn...my brother's childhood friend. Oh, how stupidly in love with that boy I was. He was the first boy who made me blush, my first official crush. Sounds beautiful so far, right? That excitement that bubbles up inside you, those famous butterflies you feel for the very first time - he was the reason for them all. But you get to live in that fairy tale world only until they crush your hopes and dreams and then stomp on your heart for good measure. And boy did he crush my little heart into pieces.

After the stomping part, he became the boy I did my best to stay away from - and let me tell you, it was pretty hard to do when he slept in the room right across from mine. When tragedy struck his family and they moved away, I was ready to forget he ever existed. Now he's a movie star, the one who makes women of all ages go into a screaming frenzy. Me? I'm Olive, a new writer. Actually, I'm the writer of the book that inspired the movie he is about to star in on the big screen. As of late, I am also referred to as the oh, so very lucky girl who is about to become the wife of Jason Thorn.

Contains mature themes.

A must-read!

Being in my early 20's, I've found it difficult to find cute books that include romance, but not so much that it's all about the sex. This book is the PERFECT fit for me. It has all the giddy moments, with some heated delicious moments sprinkled in. Overall, the characters are easy to love, and this made for an excellent listen!

Read book 2 first

I don't normally write reviews, but I'd hate for you to miss book two. I accidentally listened to book two first and fell in love with it. The narrators were great. Although I wish authors would stop using Sebastian York for 20 somethings. Yes, he's got that voice that can read me the phone book. But reading as a young 20 yr old, no. Just no. Time to move him to the older gentlemen characters.
The female narrator sounded like it was her first book, or she was trying to make an authors first book sound better then it was. I struggled. Thankfully I listened to book two first where she knocked it out of the ballpark and will look for her again.
So, my advice, Listen to To Hate Adam Connor (don't worry, no spoilers for book one in it), then circle back around to just listen to Olive and Jason's story to complete the saga.
Lastly, let's all agree it's time for Sebastian to move to mature characters.

overused nickname like nails on a chalkboard

The extremely overused "little one" nickname became excruciating with it's unnecessary repetition. With the way it was set up in the story & constantly used, it felt a bit like an adult male with a young girl fixation which was just uncomfortable. I know it wasn't meant to read that way, but the storyline didn't need the child's nickname reference so often. It came off belittling to the female lead.

I LOVED JASON THORN... & SEBASTIAN YORK TOO

What a wonderful story... sweet, addictive, fun, sexy and with a few curveballs thrown into the mix. Well written, brilliantly narrated, two great characters, a few likeable interesting secondary characters and a romance that took time to develop, build and grow into an all-consuming love story.

Worth a credit? Yep, IMO a dual POV addictive storyline, a sexy dirty talking hero and a HEA ending definitely makes this awesome Contemporary listen creditworthy.

✫✫ 4 Stars ✫✫

I really liked this book! It was sweet, funny and sexy. Very little drama and that is always a plus for me. I love the past with Jason & Olive, knowing their past no matter how old they were really made me feel their connection. I guess I just really liked every part of this book. It was really hot too! This book left me feeling happy, thankfully it was a standalone. The way this book was written was great because I think the amount of build up was exactly what I needed and still left so much story with them together for me to feel satisfied.

The narration was great as always!

A sweet romantic love story.

Every girl remembers her first love and this story is all about that first love and how it never falters even through many years of separation. This book is very realistic and it's every girls fantasy that her first love (who would inevitably turn out to be a movie star) would come back to tell her how much he loves her... in the end, would marry her. In this book however since the sequence of events are a little out of order but in the end all her dreams come true.

The narrators both do such a great job. Lidia is very convincing as the main character Olive and it's not difficult at all to picture Sebastian as the love of her life Jason.... All in all, this was a heart warming love story and well worth the listen/read!!! 💞

Oh... and P. S..... there is some crazy hot sex scenes..... yum!

This was fantastic!

I can't believe there isn't more hype about this book! I enjoyed it so much. The story is so sweet and I love how it was wrapped up. It was sweet and sexy without being too much. Ella created the perfect relationship in this perfect book! I couldn't recommend this enough.

Sebastian York I am in love with your voice

I loved to love story, and loved Sebastian voice as male. he has such a great voice.

Steamy, feel good romance

I must agree with some of the reviews on here- this book is underrated for sure. I enjoyed every bit of it, althought it is not action and drama packed the author succeeded in writing a feel good romance leaving a big smile on my face. And boy it was steamy, sizzling hot capturing that bottled up chemistry between the characters perfectly!
Sebastian, as allways just added to the swoon factor of the hot male lead. Lidia portrayed the female roles perfectly.
A definate 5/5...

HOW not To Love Jason Thorn

If you could sum up To Love Jason Thorn in three words, what would they be?

Funny, Original, Romantic

What did you like best about this story?

I like the idea behind the story. I love the childhood crush to Lovers idea, but it was very well planned and the dialogues are engaging.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

OMG I think I would never go to A Karaoke Bar and not think about that scene between Jason and Olive, that first kiss was MAGICAL!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, however life caught up with me and it took me longer that planned to finish it, nevertheless I loved every minute.

Any additional comments?

Sebastian York, is there anything he cant do?? He brings each of his characters to life and Jason Thorn was no exception, he makes the reader fall madly in love but he always puts everything into his acting, he is just sensational!! I do have to admire Lidia Dornet, because she sounded how I imagined Olive to be. So not taking away from the incredible book, but the actors made it even more wonderful.

sebastian york's voice yum

A beautiful audiobook

An easy, enjoyable and sexy story with two lovable characters and two equally excellent narrators... Sebastian York has a heavenly voice ❣

I tried

I really wanted to like this book but I couldn't. It was so juvenile. there was no character development and basically no point to the story because the main source of the hero's past may as well have been irrelevant and the main source of the female leads pain was also basically useless and again, juvenile. it had the bare bones to be a good book but it did not deliver at all. The only saving grace is having Sebastian's name attached

Omg!!!! I loved this book

I adored the way Sebastian York read this. I loved Lidia Dornet too but the softness of SebYo’s tones had me in shivers.
