About this listen

Opposites attract in this hopeful, globe-trotting romance from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kendall Ryan.

Alessia Moore, a thirty-seven-year-old powerhouse at the helm of a nonprofit in Nairobi, is tirelessly working to build a school for girls. Professionally, she’s thriving, attracting investors to support her mission. But her love life is nonexistent, and she’s starting to wonder if the one even exists for her.

When she meets Hart Winthrop, the twenty-five-year-old son of a billionaire investor poised to support her foundation, she’s unprepared for the pull she feels. Hart is confident, intelligent, and charming. But there are issues—he’s too young for her, and getting involved with him could jeopardize everything she’s worked for.

As fate takes them across the globe—from glamorous cities to hidden corners of the world—what begins as a forbidden fling grows into something neither of them expected, leaving Alessia to wonder…Should she break her own rules for a chance at something real?

Critic Reviews

A Beginner’s Guide to Forever surprised me in the best way possible, going in I had expected this to be just a silly cute romcom, but did we get so much more…Simply put, one heck of a good read. As always, Kendall Ryan delivers loveable characters that have relatable journeys and a connection that you can’t help but root on.” Harlequin Junkie (Top Pick)
