About this listen

From Wall Street Journal, USA Today best-selling, and RITA Award-winning author Kennedy Ryan comes a captivating second chance romance like only she can deliver....

The boy who always felt like mine is now the man I can’t have....

Dig a little and you’ll find photos of me in the bathtub with Ezra Stern.

Get your mind out of the gutter. We were six months old.

Pry and one of us might confess we saved our first kiss for each other. The most clumsy, wet, sloppy...spectacular 30 seconds of my adolescence.

Get into our business and you’ll see two families, closer than blood, torn apart in an instant.

Twenty years later, my “awkward duckling” best friend from childhood, the boy no one noticed, is a man no one can ignore.

Finer. Fiercer. Smarter.

Taken.

Tell me it’s wrong.

Tell me the boy who always felt like mine is now the man I can’t have.

When we find each other again, everything stands in our way - secrets, lies, promises.

But we didn’t come this far to give up now.

And I know just the move to make if I want to make him mine.

I had to read this book before the year was out, and I couldn't put it down.
Kimba and Ezra had be enthralled by their tale from the first page.
Seeing them grow up, gp through the awkward and challenging stage of pre-teens and also navigating the 80's a black child and for Ezra being a biracial child who is a Jew opened a a world of a story not really found out there.
I loved the story of their parents and the camaraderie of two families raising black kids and trying to overcome the difficulty outside trying to out-do your efforts.

Kimba and Ezra as grown up is so well rounded. Life is so complicated when we grow up and Aiko made things as frustrating and awkward and difficult and I liked how kennedy Ryan told this story.

The affair, the open marriage propasal, the lost lovers second chance at love, the para-menopause and struggling to have kids, watching people have kids and also balancing work. And in the back ground.. family secrets.

Secrets, second chances and triumph.

I have to say, I preferred the first two books but this one was beautiful too. For me the narrators let it down. I just didn’t feel it with them and some of the parts were the male narrator was doing the female voice, I couldn’t tell who’s line it was. I think all three books done in duet would have been so much better.

Beautiful story

Ezra was Kimba's childhood friend.
They are parted under mysterious discord between their parents.
They meet up again at Kimba's father's funeral, 20 years later.
They knew their future was together, but the past had to be dealt with.

The narration was suitable for the story, but I find many American accents, grating to listen too.

The Power of One is such an entertaining and powerful novel. The narrator Humphrey Bower was outstanding- he told the story so beautifully, such a clever use of different voices for the many characters. Enjoyed the retelling so much I’ve gone on to ‘Tandia’ the sequel.
