Loved this story...

This was a beautiful story filled with heartbreak, recovery and love. Excellently chosen narrators that deeply represented the character emotions and made for easy listening. Highly recommend 👌

different than the others, beautifully broken

I really loved this book. I have loved the other 2 books in this series as well, but this story is unrelated to the other two so far. Great romance. Has its dirty sexy parts later on in book, but it gave the characters a chance to grow and develop rather than being thrown straight into it.

Emotional and beautiful

Unforgivable is the third book I've read by Isabel Love. Each book I read by this author is better than the last, and this is my favorite one by far! I love books that hit me right in the feels, and Unforgivable did just that. An emotional story of love, friendship, growth, and forgiveness- this one hit all my love buttons!

Anna and Wes meet when they're just kids in middle school. Wes quickly becomes best friends with Anna's brother, and he and Anna become close friends as well. Anna quickly starts to fall for Wes, but Wes's life is complicated. He doesn't have the easiest childhood and that factors into the decisions he makes and the things that he does. One of my favorite things about this book was seeing into Wes and Anna's past. I loved watching their interactions growing up. As they get older though, they change. Things change between them, but they always stay close.

This book made me think about choices, about mistakes, and about forgiveness. Is there anything you can think of that you consider unforgivable? Any mistake you could make that truly cannot be forgiven? Anna has made a mistake that is that big in her eyes. No matter what, she can't move past it and she can't forgive herself. Wes isn't perfect, either. He's made mistakes in his past as well. As tough as these two are on themselves, I loved that they never held each others past mistakes against one another.

Wes and Anna had the most delicious slow burn romance. I am used to hot and sexy from Love, but this book was just... more. It was so much more that that. The story was real, raw, and had depth. Of course there were some sexy scenes, but the build up was the best part! Anna and Wes had a love story that was beautiful, unconditional, and a bit forbidden, as Wes is her brother's best friend. Their connection was just there from the very start. I felt it. This story captivated me. It broke my heart at times, but also managed to uplift me. Wes and Anna are both amazing characters. Wes was seriously the sweetest, and I found Anna to be truly lovable and completely relateable in a lot of ways. I loved Anna's entire family and friends as well.

Unforgivable is a story of healing, first loves, mistakes, forgiveness, and learning to let go and move on from your mistakes. It brought me to tears more than once, but in the end, it made my heart so happy! For all my friends who love brother's best friend books, emotional books, and slow-burn romances, I can't recommend this story to you enough! I give it 5 stars, and I can't wait to see what Isabel Love has in store for us next!!

IT HAS EVERYTHING!

This series has a well thought out storyline, well developed characters, and great steamy romance! Narrators performed admirably (although the male narrator's ability to play female voice wasn't my favorite).

story description doesn't do it justice!

Such a beautiful story that is so much more than brother's best friend. Also great narration especially female!.
Vanessa Edwin amazes me with her ability to transform her voice according to the nature of the characters, from sexy to emotional to fragile. Every story is so much better with her as narrator.

Couldn’t stop listening

I love this story. It is so real!! I couldn’t stop listening bc I wanted to know what was going to happen next and I hate that it ended!!!

Extremely enjoyable

Great narration first of all, good story line and amazingly swoon worthy hero! Score. And ya I may have shed a tear or two. My heart broke for Wesley.. and ya I wanted to marry that man! Lmao ❤️🥰

It was heartbreaking & sweet

The narrators were well matched to each other and the story. I enjoyed this story because it felt mostly relatable on an emotional level. They aren’t perfect people but they’re good people dealing with the story that is life.

Such a greatly build story

This story is amazingly put together! None of all that long drawn feelings filler. Just the perfect amount to keep it real and interesting.
The 2 narrators are a perfect match for the story, they compliment each other and the characters beautifully.
This is my first meeting with this author but surely not the last after this!
This book left me smiling from the memories of what “we’ve” been through. And yes… I cried a little too

Loved it 😍

Absolutely amazing. This was such a fantastic coming of age story. My only gripe is that it took Anna & Wes too long to get together. I get the build up & anticipation, but I wanted them together sooner. Nevertheless, the author did such a wonderful job of painting such a clear picture of words. I didn't like book 1 or 2 of this series. But, book 3, this book, is a home run. Nice spice, angst, sadness, & happiness. Loved the HEA. And of course, Vanessa and Teddy were both phenomenal narrators. Well done.
