Publisher's summary

When is love wrong...

Jesse Ryan has always been the love of my life, from as far back as I can remember. But time, distance, and circumstances beyond my control separated the two of us for many years.

Now things have changed. Because you see, now I'm a grown woman, and it's time that Jesse sees that for himself. But will he see me as anything other than the child I was when we last saw one another? It's up to me to make sure that he does.

Look out Jesse Ryan. September is back.

What a Story!

Although this book falls under a "taboo" storyline, the way in which it was written totally negates that trope. It is brilliant how the growth of September from a somewhat conniving little vixen, at the start, to a woman beyond her years at the end draws the reader/listener into the story so that I felt invested in their relationship. On to Book 2!
Noelle Bridges and Alexander Cendese were brilliant in their roles!

what a story

OMG!! i was thinking this story would be a bit taboo for me but i have fallen in love with it. The writing is so good that the storie draws you in and keeps you wanting more. I can not waiting listen to the next book to see what happens with September!! I want to know what craziness will happen with her mom and Jesse. Even if you don't like taboo books this is one you should give a shot.

THE HEART WANTS WHAT THE HEART WANTS

"Loving Jesse" is definitely not your typical romance trope. However, the plot lends itself to acceptance when you understand the dynamics of the characters and back story. September Dawson is the stepdaughter of Jesse Ryan. When her mother takes off when September is 10 years old, she's sent to live with her maternal grandparents. Fast forward 7 years later. September is getting ready to turn 18 when she shows back up in Jesse's life, to help care for her younger half-sister in another state. The slow-burn of their love is fascinating, and there's n no creep factor in how the relationship develops. The narration team did an exceptional job in portraying all of the characters and the listener can actually feel the emotions, struggles, and misunderstandings that develop. Steamy, romantic and suspenseful!

Heartfelt!

September was only a thread written into the fabric of an adult relationship. This one will twist your heart up and hang it out to dry. Don’t miss it!
The narrator’s are perfect together. They brought it alive!
