About this listen

An enemies-to-friends-to-lovers lesbian romance about finding heart, hope, and second chances you never thought you'd have.

Stella Carter is a former criminal prosecutor and new widow facing down middle age alone in Los Angeles. Without being a prestigious lawyer and someone's wife, she's not sure who she is anymore or where her life is headed.

When she invites her niece to move in with her, Stella accidentally reconnects with her former colleague, LAPD Captain Elizabeth Murphy. The woman is beautiful but cold; someone she was always at odds with on the job.

Surprisingly, Stella finds herself leaning on her niece and Elizabeth more and more to navigate her loss. But as time goes on, Stella can't keep seeing Elizabeth and pretending she's not attracted to her. Besides, there's absolutely no way Elizabeth feels the same way. Is there?

Contains mature themes.

Both times I have listened to this audiobook I listened to it throughout the night until it finished. And I had to be up early. Do I regret it? Not really. Quite the Emily Waters fan here. Both her books have gone on my favourites list. A great dual toaster oven story.

This audiobook should come with a warning.

This is a wonderful book, beautifully narrated by Anastasia Watley. I’m struggling to fault anything about it honestly. The writing is wonderful, the characters well drawn, the story developing slowly, tantalisingly, deliciously. There’s a gravity obviously in a story about grieving, learning to know and love yourself, about sexual re-awakening, falling in love and coming out in late middle age. Stella and Elizabeth are serious, accomplished, flawed, human. There’s also a lightness of touch, plenty of humour, wit, and a third main character I would say, Stella’s niece Addie, who adds a lovely perspective to the story. There are also some beautiful love scenes, worth waiting for. I couldn’t recommend it more highly and will be watching out for more stories from Emily Waters.

My favourite listen of the year so far
