Gabby

Looking back, I should have seen the signs. Perhaps I did, but I subconsciously chose to ignore them.

From the time I was 10, when I first met Dylan, I knew he was my forever guy. Back then, I couldn’t put words to what I was feeling, but, as the years progressed, I came to recognize it for what it was - soul-deep love. The kind only very few people ever get to experience.

Dylan was more than just my best friend, my childhood sweetheart, my lover. He was my soul mate. We were carved from the same whole - destined to be together forever.

Until he changed.

And I believed I was no longer good enough.

Until he shattered me so completely, it felt like I ceased to exist.

And I’d never experienced such heart-crushing pain.

Until he leveled me a second time, and I truly wanted to die.

But I had to stay strong because I wasn’t alone in this cruel twist of fate.

I look to the sky, pleading with the stars, begging someone to tell me what I should do because I don’t know how to deal with this. I don’t know how to cope when my forever has changed, and I can’t help wondering if I had seen the signs earlier, if I’d pushed him, would it have been enough to save us?

Or had fate already decided to alter our forever?

Due to mature content and potential triggers, this book is only recommended to listenersover the age of 18. This is the first book in a duet, although both books can be listened to as stand-alone romances as they focus on different couples.

**🤯🤬😡😠😤** 90% female narrator only

**WARNING** should not have advertised dual narration!!!
For me having both a male n female narrators is a MUST!!! I also think the book dragggggged out by ~15 chapters... Also bring the tissues 🤧😥

I feel like I’ve been through the ringer!

First off, I usually at least scan a few reviews before diving into a story (even if it’s an author I typically love). I saw an extremely popular review for this book (on kindle) that really shed a negative light on the story. Because of it, I almost didn’t take a chance on this one. Almost. Secondly, mild spoiler but this is something I like to know from the outset…cheating takes place pretty early on and that’s honestly typically a deal breaker for me. I can’t stand that mess in my romance novels. However, I felt that there was more than meets the eye and decided to keep going…and I’m sure glad I did. This was a beautiful, emotional, sometimes heartbreaking read/listen but it was worth every frustration and tear shed. Without disclosing any major spoilers, I did take issue with the two year gap that takes place as well as the way Gabby handled things with Slater. As much as I disliked these elements, the story wasn’t ruined for me. I would encourage you to take a chance, keep an open mind and allow yourself to take the story for what it is and embrace the characters in spite of their shortcomings. I truly can’t imagine what it would be like to find myself in a similar situation but my empathy reigned supreme and I was able to move past some irritations. Good narration although I would have loved more from the male POV (male narrator narrated 3 chapters if I remember correctly). Heartfelt storyline….amazing conclusion (last 10% or so…not to say the rest wasn’t a great story…but I felt like I could breath again). I’m excited for Ryan’s story in book two…and although it’s probably not going to happen, I would also love for Austin to get his own book. In the brief peeks of him this story provides, I’m pretty much swooning (just me, who knows?!!!) Yes, I would recommend.

I liked it, but didn't love it

where do I begin...Siobhan is seriously THE MOST creative author, her stories never seem to amaze me, shock me, pull me in. the drama is always oh so good... for MOST of her books. this book however wasn't as strong as others. Gabby (the heroine) got on my nerves so many times, like she kept wasting time, wasting moments, not making good decisions, etc, I wanted to strangle her at times. I loved the male leads, but at times it got too sappy, like I was craving more alpha male characteristics. don't get me wrong, it was there, just not as demanding as I like. I dunno, the story was fairly predictable, and her books are KNOWN for being unpredictable! it was hard to get past some points in the books because of frustration. so much time passed in parts and I wanted to scream, nooooo! why do much time?! I dunno, overall, entertaining and sweet, but unnecessary drama in alot of the book. I just wish the heroine wasn't such an idiot throughout. it is definitely worth the read, but I wouldn't buy it to keep. it's a one and done type read. sexy times was excellent, per usual in all her books. narration was really good. 3 out of 5 overall stars.

Heartbreakingly Beautiful!

Siobhan Davis gives us another magnificent read with this gut-wrenching tale. Make sure to have the tissues close by because you will cry sad tears and happy tears. This powerful story will make you feel every emotion: anger, fear, sorrow, happiness and so much love. The writing is excellent as always. Sarah Puckett is one of my favorite female narrators and she did an excellent job as did Wen Ross. I loved this audiobook and can’t recommend it highly enough.

Prepare to take a breather....

Holy smokes what a freaking ride! I thought I knew what this storyline would entail but it was one that surprisingly threw me for loop and even had me in tears! Without spoiling anything let me just say that Gabby's story will break you in many ways than one. The feels were utterly strong on all angles making you afraid and hesitant for more or wanting to throw something at the wall. Being torn is an understatement. I bow down to Gabby with the challenging choices that she has to make. Her heart and her mind will be tested.

This story was everything. Be forewarn you may need to take a breather here and there to let certain things sink in. It will leave you thinking of new perspectives in life. Narrators Sarah Puckett and Wen Ross made the story so much more. Highly recommend!

best book and author she is the greatest!!

another book that made me cry!!! the narration was perfect also love it all!! really made Me cry this author never disappoints!

Am emotional story!

I absolutely loved When Forever Changes. Sarah Puckett and Wen Ross really brought Gabby and Dylan and Slater to life. I was in an emotional rollercoaster ride through the whole book! Overall it was a beautiful and heartbreaking at times but also so very beautiful!

A forever read!

 She doesn't know how to cope when her forever changes, and she can’t help wondering if she had seen the signs earlier, if she'd pushed him, would it have been enough to save them?
Or had fate already decided to alter their forever?

I loved it - I believe this is the authors best work yet! And knowing this author, they will be many more to come. This book will give you an experience - of everything that will definitely pit you through a ringer - At times, it felt like my heart was splitting into two so much so that I had to pause for a moment and regain my strength.

Lovely written and narration. Stunning voices chosen for these characters.

Perfect for readers of contemporary romances.

When Forever Changes

When Forever Changes is the first book in the Forever Love series. This book is told mainly from Gabby's point of view. Some of the chapters are from another perspective.

Gabby met Dylan when they were 10. She knew immediately they were going to be together forever. Now they are both in college and have been in a serious relationship for 4 years.

Something happens and Dylan changes. He's mean and has a bad temperament. He's hiding things from Gabby, and when she finds out, she leaves him. She's not sure what to do with her life, since her forever plans have changed.

She stays with her brother and Slater. She starts to have feelings for Slater, but Dylan keeps showing up in her life and making her rethink things. Something happens and we find out something about Dylan. It completely made me change my feelings for him.

This book is definitely emotional, so you may need to have the kleenex ready. Gabby has a lot of decisions to make. Her life changes and she goes through a lot. Will she get her happily ever after?

Nope….

I found this one not the author’s best work…. It had potential but it was drawn out and the part with the two year old was unbelievable….

Another amazing installment

This book rips your heart out. Smashes it to pieces and then puts it back together. Reading it was one thing. But listening to it was a whole other experience! Honestly I balled like a baby!!!!
You won’t be disappointed. Siobhan is the queen of emotional books. X x x

An Emotional but Truly Phenomenal Listen!!!

When Forever Changes was a heart-breaking and emotional listen on so many levels, but I truly enjoyed it beginning to end. I was sucked in from the very beginning with the phenomenal narration of Sarah Puckett who brings forth all the feels through her voice and story telling. This story took me for a wild ride of emotions that definitely had me thinking along the way as it raises a lot of questions about the choices people make in life and specifically if I would have made similar choices to Gabby in this story. The characters in this story face truly world shattering situations with big consequences that altered lives. My heart broke many times while listening to this story but it was fully healed by the end. I think the author did a fantastic job with the story line and Sarah Puckett and Wen Ross totally slayed with the narration. This was an all around definite must listen for me, one that will definitely be staying with me for a while.

OMFG wow

I've never cried for an audiobook but OMFG I did this story is awesome

An emotional Journey

I had extremely high expectations when I started reading this book because I have read Siobhan’s work before and totally loved it. When Forever Changes totally lived up to those expectations.

Beautifully written, with a wonderfully angsty, emotionally satisfying story-line I enjoyed this book from page one to The End!

Until over 10% I wanted scream at Gabby to open her eyes. She noticed the changes in her deteriorating relationship and didn’t question them, she was even in denial when presented with facts but this is the case in a lot of relationships, so yes annoying, but also understandable and believable.

Then hurrah, she found her inner feisty and pulled up her big girl pants and from then on she became an even better character.

Slater, childhood friend, and her youngest brothers best friend, had her back and was totally swoon worthy. I wanted to hug him at more than one point. Sure he wasn’t perfect but still he made me cold heart flutter.

I can honestly say that the characters were superbly developed. The decent ones were wonderfully decent and the less than admirable ones were distinctly unlikable. There were focuses on the other character and we got a good deal of insight into them. I love this as it gives a story depth.

I cried more than once listening to this moving story.

Siobhan Davis has undoubtedly penned and outstanding romance and if this doesn’t make it onto best seller lists then I would be astounded.

This emotional journey packed an even bigger punch when I listened to it in audiobook format. Sarah Puckett and Wen Ross delivered a moving strong performance.
