About this listen
This book is the sequel to Loving Jesse.
My name is Jesse Ryan. I'm 30, single, and raising my nine year-old daughter alone. I'm a construction worker in Arkansas, and when summer rolled around, I knew I needed some live-in help with Scout. That's when September Dawson came back into my world.
She's a beautiful woman now, and a very resourceful one at that. She effectively ambushed a romance that was barely off the ground between me and a neighbor, but she didn't stop there.
Suffice it to say by summer's end, I was hers in every way. Yeah, I get that there's an age difference, but despite my better judgment and solid resolve, the heart wants what the heart wants.
And that brings us to now.
We've managed to keep our relationship discreet, but at the same time, planning our future together. Then we get...the news. Now everything we’ve been planning is suddenly and inexplicably torn from us.
Decisions need to be made, and everyone looks to me to be the one to make them. But how can I make a decision that will be in everyone's best interest, and not tear our hearts to pieces?

Story
Broken down, and wounded by my emotionally neglectful ex, I wanted someone to tell me I was good enough. Then, I stumbled into a new job with a boss who brought me to my knees - literally. He has me do things a real secretary would never do. Emerson Grant tells me I’m more than just good enough. I’m worthy of his praise. There are a million reasons why I should stay away. The owner of the Salacious Players’ Club is not just my new boss - he’s twice my age. And my ex-boyfriend’s father....I’m a good girl, but I’m falling for the wrong man.

I'm writing this letter because it's highly doubtful I'll ever garner the courage to say this to your face. So, here goes. We're totally wrong for each other. You're the proper single mum with a good head on your shoulders. I'm just the carefree British doctor passing through town and temporarily living in your converted garage until I head back to England. But here's the thing... for some bloody reason, I can't stop thinking about you in very inappropriate ways.

Story
Bennett Fox walked into my life on one hell of a crappy Monday morning. I was late for the first day at my new job - a job I’d now have to compete for, even though I’d already worked eight years to earn it, because of an unexpected merger. While I lugged my belongings up to my new office, a meter maid wrote me a parking summons. She’d ticketed a long line of cars - except for the Audi parked in front of me, which happened to be the same make and model as mine. Annoyed, I decided to regift my ticket to the car that had evaded a fine.

Story
The first time I met Caine West was in a bar. He noticed me looking his way and mistakenly read my scowling as checking him out. When he attempted to talk to me, I set him straight -- telling him what I thought of his lying, cheating, egomaniacal ass. You see, the gorgeous jerk had wined and dined my best friend-smooth talking her into his bed, all along failing to mention that he was married. He deserved every bit of my tongue-lashing and more for what he'd done.

It all started when I hosted a little party for a bunch of new friends. Though “friends” might not be the right word since the invitees were all the women I’d found out my boyfriend was talking to behind my back. When the guest of honor walked in—aka my now ex—things took a turn… Unfortunately, a stranger witnessed the whole blowout. I was in a mood that night and ended up giving this gorgeous guy an attitude, too. As if my night could get any worse, before he stormed off, he informed me he was actually my landlord.

Great Ending
Once again the narrator's voice captures this story great. this journey was a crazy one. the ending is great and i love a HEA book. Just like with the last book though i wish it was a little longer. I want to spend more time with these characters. I want more with scout and how she comes along. but as the book is itself i love it. The hot scenes are just that hot as fire and it has the ups and downs that i love so much!! I think everyone will find something in this series to enjoy.

Fabulous!
Andrea can write a wonderful story! The plot was smooth and it built up to a great ending. It had lots of different twists and emotions. I laughed-out-loud a time or two.
Alexander and Rachelle were great narrators. They brought it to life and their voices portrayed each character with believable emotions!

Amazing Ending to the Forbidden Duet! Awesome🎧📚🎧
Jesse and September’s concludes in this second novel of the “Forbidden” series something I have been waiting for since that mind-mind blowing ending of the first book, “Loving Jesse”. I was kind of hating on the author for that ending, but I knew she had her reasons for that ending and that she would do the right thing for these characters in her next book. Well, it was definitely worth the wait, Andrea Smith not only redeemed herself but she went above and beyond with these characters and in the end taking them where they needed to be. With so many obstacles and road bumps, Jess and September’s journey was not an easy one, but in the end, they both got what they wanted and deserved. Those obstacles included not only themselves but Libby aka Sarah, Casey, the witch next door and even Brandon. This beautifully written and plotted story drew me in right from the start, grabbing my attention and captivating it the entire book. It was great to watch how far these characters have come, watching September grow in to her own and take charge of her life, Jesse finally standing up to what he wants and even Scout, who, like her sister, was wise beyond her years. Like the first book, there was never a dull moment, and I loved how everything played out, there was plenty of drama and heartfelt emotions, some angst, twists and turns and a romance that was years in the making, forbidden or not, I say not. Andrea Smith, thank you for another fantastic story and emotional rollercoaster ride, your brilliant mind never ceases to amaze and entertain me.
🎧📚🎧 And for the wonderful narration, Andrea Smith cast the perfect narrators to bring her characters and story to life. Alexander Cendese and Rachelle Williams are talented narrators and versatile voice artists. They had a complete understanding of the characters they portrayed, gave each a voice that was a perfect fit for that character’s persona, sounding believable and just as I pictured the characters to sound. Alexander Cendese nailed it as Jesse, carefree yet caring, Rachelle Williams played September with perfection. Both were great at performing the roles of the secondary characters as well. You could hear how much heart they put into their performance as they captured the characters’ emotions and projected them into their performance. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another fantastic listen.

Yes! Just what we wanted for this series, Jesse’s POV!
I am so glad we got Jesse’s POV in this book. Lady’s, the amount of times I melted over this man’s voice… too many! This man ,y’all this man. The way he takes care of September in and out of the bedroom. 🙌🏼 Now he messes up a couple times but what man don’t?! I’m a sucker for that protective manly man that is a teddy bear for his woman. Controlling but only in the good way. IYKYK! Respectful while also standing his ground. Encourages her to enjoy life as a young adult while also loving her and letting her know who her man is. 🥵 Yup, that’s Jesse! Did I mention how absolutely divine his voice is…oh I did 😉.
Now September, very grown up for her age but also had her moments. 😆 There was a couple times I wanted to throttle her and just scream at her to talk to Jesse but I understood her POV on it. You can really see how much more grown up she becomes in this book and I loved that. She finally got to tell her Momma how it is and oh how joyous that was to read. I was high fiving September and cheering her on. That announcement towards the end, 😮 that was a complete shock but made the listening experience that much more exciting.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It was so relatable in many ways. I really enjoyed the whole series but the second book was even more intriguing and enjoyable. I love the books that are a rollercoaster of emotions and this one did that and more. I would highly recommend this series.
