About this listen

Ruby Turner was never meant to be mine.

When I first met her, she was a fresh, young American sports journalist trying to find her footing in a new life abroad. She was the one interviewing me for an article, yet I wanted to know more about her. She captivated me. But she went home with Marco that night. My agent. My brother.

And I did what I could to pretend I was fine with it. After all, I'm Luciano Ribeiro. As the captain of Real Madrid and Portugal's National Team, it's my job to be cool, calm, and collected, not easily rattled. Only what I felt for Ruby over time shook me to my very core. It made me do things I never imagined I would do.

It started with a stolen kiss in the middle of the night. It led to a passionate tryst. It created a burden of guilt that I had to carry, as Ruby came in and out of my life until she left for good, leaving her mark on me.

Now, seven years later, she's back. She was the one who got away. I don't think I'll let her go this time. But I might not have a choice. Because my heart still belongs to her. And her heart might belong to my brother.

Contains mature themes.

Ruby falls in love with a football star but ends up dating his brother??
it's a story of missed opportunity and misunderstanding. a bit like sliding doors.
It follows them over 9 years and she unbelievablely manages to stay in Europe without a visa for all that time.
There is a happy ending to the story but it is stressful to listen to.

A story with romance and mature themes rather than a romance with mature themes and a story bolted on… good story.

Really good story

Really don’t like Karina Halle’s stories. This one was particularly long-winded and a little unrealistic sorry!
After reading Aleyo’s story and having Liciano mentioned there, I was expecting a better narrative!

Too long winded!
