Publisher's summary

A company buy-out. An arch nemesis returns. A crush that never went away.

Wil thought she had the world ahead of her—eight years of experience in her job, her temper under control and working for her, and a manager who understood her. All Wil's fears tumble out when her best friend's stepmom becomes her new manager. No longer able to hide who she is, Wil fights to control her temper and crush on the one person she's never been able to hold back on.

Lynda has worked hard to get where she is, but when she takes over a new financial company, she knows she has to lay low and rebuild her reputation. When the opportunity arises to work with her estranged stepdaughter's best friend, she leaps at the chance to reconnect. She never thought the past would haunt her and the memories of her husband's death would resurface.

They never wanted to see each other again. Will they be able to overcome their mutual past and find love in the person they least expect? What will happen when fire meets ice?

When the Past Finds You is an ice queen age gap lesbian romance with bisexual and demisexual representation. It's a story of grief, loss, and how three people grieve differently from the same tragic death.

Can the pieces be put back together when the glue that held them together is shattered and unexpectedly ripped away?

How can love endure when the anchor of the family is no longer there? Buried in their own grief and self preservation, attempts to move forward only drive them further apart.
Anger, abandonment, misconceptions.
Can it be too late to fix this…is there any love left to even try?

Well written. Great story.
Very much enjoyed the two main points of view narrated by two different actors. The listener gets to feel the desperation and fear of the characters as well as their separate journeys to making something new.

Great Story!

The plot development was excellent. The going back and forth in time to young teens, mid-teens, and young adults to present time. Their interactions with Linda was crucial during those periods of time to present time Linda and Wil.

Their relationship past to present was intense. At best it was hostile at the beginning to the end when it became intensely emotional and erotic.

The story was great and the narrators were excellent!

Beautiful Story and Stellar Performance!

This is a beautiful, angsty age gap romance with complex and dynamic characters expertly brought to life by Lori Prince and Quinn Riley.

Crying again; but a long story.

I thought we would never get anywhere. It took so long to get into the love affair. Too much anger in the story that just didn't seem to go away until near the end.. Still, I lked the story.

Age Doesn’t Matter

A bitter history of hostility and anger. Wil was an angry teenager and Lynda was her best friend’s stepmother. Now they meet again as Lynda’s company takes over Wil’s employer. Strong characters and lots of romance. Narrrators are perfect.
