About this listen
My stepbrother’s estate is fading fast. My resistance to him is fading faster.
When my marriage hits rock bottom, I escape to South Carolina to help my charming disaster of a stepbrother, Charlie—aka "the douchiest man in Manhattan"—fix up the decaying Southern mansion he's just inherited.
But the house has other ideas. Doors slam, voices whisper, and something—or someone—wants us to be more than reluctant roommates. An old journal confirms it: Charlie and I seem to be mirroring every step of a love story that took place a century ago.
A doomed one.
With every soft moment and stolen glance, it gets harder to imagine ending up with anyone else. But all I’ve ever wanted is a family, and that won’t be happening with a man who once said he’d rather be murdered than father a child.
Our story was written long before we came to this house. But do we still have time to rewrite the way it ends?

My Favorite Lost Cause blends family drama, romance, and a touch of the paranormal. When Charlie inherits a run-down South Carolina manor, Maren joins him, and their simmering chemistry finally sparks once she leaves her unhappy marriage. The paranormal thread, with Maren uncovering parallels to a past resident, adds depth to the story.
The audiobook narration is excellent. Samantha Brentmoor captures Maren’s vulnerability and strength, while Jason Clarke is perfect as grumpy, devoted Charlie. Together, they make this an addictive listen, and I’m excited that this isn't the end of the series.
A must-listen forbidden romance

My Favorite Lost Cause, the second installment in The Favorites series, is a beautifully written slow-burn romance that swept me off my feet. Centered around Maren and Charlie, the story is both emotionally charged and irresistibly engrossing and I was hooked from the very first page to the last. This is a captivating read that I’d wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who loves romance with a touch of mystery and soul.

Maren and Charlie's story is considered forbidden as they are step siblings,but they aren't blood.
Maren is married to Harvey a very selfish horrible man,and she is longing for a family she wants to be a mother.
Charlie is in a bad place in his life drinking and women ruining his life,so Maren is sent to do a welfare check on him because she is the only person he would listen to.
Charlie's Mother has passed away and has left him a property and she would like him to renovate it and restore it to what it should be.
Maren finds herself wanting to go with him to check the house out and as soon as she sees the house she falls in love with the house,she feels drawn to it.
But Charlie wants to tear it down it is a money pit,but Maren wants to save it so Maren has to convince Charlie that it is worth saving....and when she does convince him this is when the adventure begins.
They decide to stay there and renovate the property....The house is speaking to Maren and it makes her re-think her life..The ghost of the past help her realise she is worth more than what Harvey is giving her.Maren discovers a book,a diary which tells the story of Margaret and Williams heartbreaking story...OMG their romance really got to me and I sobbed because of the trgedy and sadness of loving someone during a war and losing them.
Maren and Charlie are so attracted to eachother and the sexual tension is so charged between them..But they want different things in life..Maren longs for a child,Charlie does not want any children after seeing his mother go through the grief of losing his sister,he does not want the heartache.
I was so frustrated at times because why can't they be together,this is a slow burn romance and I found it really emotional and sad...I just wanted them to be together but there are always obstacles for them.
When they do give into their chemistry they are passionate and beautiful and it so bittersweet,I felt my heart ache.
The audiobook is perfectly narrated by two Amazing voice actors Jason Clarke and Samantha Brentmoor who give Charlie and Maren life,with so much emotion you cannot help but feel all the feelings yourself.
I was so mesmorized by this story I loved listening to it and loved Jason and Samantha telling it to me,they were so AMAZING I cannot find any fault in their performances.
My Favorite Lost Cause by Elizabeth O Roark is like a tornado it sweeps you up within its chaos spinning you around,wrapping you up in the romance,emotion and passion then spitting you out and you're left feeling completely stunned at what you have just been through.
I absolutely LOVED listening to this audiobook and absolutely adored this story.
Excellent
