About this listen

From the bestselling author of Blackwood Institute, Sabre Security and Briar Valley comes a standalone, dark romance tale of unconditional care and inevitable heartbreak that favours the imperfect journey of first love—not the happy ending.

Hallie

I’m alone in the sea of my grief until I meet Zeke, a tornado of complications who leaves destruction in his wake. I fall hard and fast, despite all the warning signs.

Our love story is far from a fairy-tale. But if it hurts, then it’s real.

There’s a monster hiding beneath his tattooed skin, an addiction that will tear us apart. I can’t lose him, but I’m powerless to fix wounds that simply run too deep.

How do you save someone who doesn’t want to be saved?

Zeke

I’ve been a shadow of my former self ever since the crash, consumed by guilt. A chance encounter in bereavement therapy changes everything.

Hallie invades my life with her soft smiles and fiery passion. She becomes my whole world and for the first time in so long, I have a reason to live.

My demons aren’t so easily beaten. I should walk away, yet I can’t bring myself to leave the woman who took my broken pieces and brought me back to life, one kiss at a time.

I’ll fight this addiction to my very last breath for her, but the road to recovery is never simple. If I’m not careful, I might just drag her to hell with me.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Forever Ago is a dark, standalone college M/F romance with realistic mental health representation and no guaranteed HEA. Full trigger warning is available inside the book.

This is a heartbreaking story of the love between Hallie and Zeke. There is a lot of content that will be triggering for many readers so please check warnings before reading. This is a story about grief and addiction and the relationships that are formed and destroyed along the way. I devoured this book in a matter of hours, only taking a break to sleep. My emotions were all of the place and I was screaming at these characters at so many different points in the story. I definitely recommend this to anyone that wants a real story that will tug your emotions in every direction, sometimes all at once.

Listening to this on audio was a totally different experience. Big Bear Audio performed these characters with so much passion it really brought them to life and made this story that much more impactful. The smallest nuances made the biggest impressions and it provided a visceral experience.
