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.

TROPES:
Best friend's brother
Grumpy x sunshine
Boss & employee

A read I didn't know I needed ❤️

This one had me on the edge of my seat. I binged the whole book in what felt like two hours but really was longer. The trauma of both Cal and Ambrose had me in a chokehold. Overcoming trauma is not easy, and the process LJ Shen used was realistic and accurate especially for the short time you have in a book. I will love this book and think about this book often and fondly. Definitely a high recommendation from me. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

This was hilarious and heartwarming

I loved everything about this book! The banter was fantastic, so many laughs! Both main characters were perfectly lovable, I desperately wanted both of them to be happy and their connection was palpable! All the trials they had toovercome were so well written, the angst and desperation tugging on heartstrings. It was a beautiful and hilarious story all in one! Loved it!

PERFECTION

Performance of VA's were PERFECTION
Excellent mix of entertainment, humor, tension, character development, story line. This audio book was PERFECTION. The only thing I would suggest is a duet style where each character voices their own parts even when the chapter is being narrated by the other character.

It took me a coupe of chapters to get the rhythm but once it happened I loved it. Great Characters and great Narrators. This is my first LJ Shen book. I will be looking for the next one now.
