About this listen

"You're going to be the death of me."
"Here's hoping."

This old flame just might set them on fire . . .

Conceited, unattainable, and downright delicious, renowned Michelin-starred chef Ambrose Casablancas has one passion in life―food.

Women are a distraction, and he doesn't do those. Especially not Cal Litvin, his little sister's best friend. Although the two of them have a secret shared past, now her entire existence is a complication for him: she's awkward, eccentric, infuriating . . . and she's also hotter than his kitchen.

But Cal is back in their hometown after her father's death to nurse her mother's broken heart. And, finding herself jobless, hopeless and penniless, she is forced to show up on the doorstep of Ambrose's new restaurant to find work.

For Cal, falling for the bad boy the second time around would be a huge mistake, But Ambrose's resolve, like this patience, is ebbing each day Cal works at his restaurant . . .

Because Cal is no longer a doe-eyed girl. Now, she's a woman that Ambrose will do anything to conquer.

For fans of Ana Huang and Lauren Asher, Truly Madly Deeply is an intense, addictive and very sexy second-chance, enemies-to-lovers, best friend's brother romance that you won't be able to stop thinking about...

This is the start of the new Forbidden Love series, but can also be enjoyed as a standalone.

Loved every second!

An all round enjoyable read. The characters are great, flawed and full of personality, and the chemistry between Cal and Row was perfect.
The slow burn played out well and has you feeling everything from laughter to frustration, but these two strong, traumatised MC’s eventually find their way to each other and open their hearts to allow for their HEA.

I will definitely be reading more from Shen soon!

Enjoyable listen

I love the character building that is classically L. J. Shen and that her characters are not all standard perfect people, they feel real and flawed, which makes me love them more!

Perfect as always!

The characters were unique and fantastically bought to life by two brilliant narrators. The story interesting and the banter was top notch.
