Summary
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 Cal Litvin, his baby sister’s best friend. Her entire existence is a complication; she’s awkward, eccentric, infuriating…

And, much to his chagrin, hotter than his kitchen.

Ambrose has a lot on his plate: a new restaurant to open, a multi-million-dollar property deal to execute, and a violent stalker to tame.

Then Cal shows up at his doorstep, looking for both a job and salvation after their messy goodbye. His resolve, like his patience, is ebbing each day she works at his restaurant.

Because Cal is no longer a doe-eyed girl.

Now? She’s the woman he’ll do anything to conquer.

***

Quirky, compassionate ball of sunshine Calla Litvin can’t catch a break, and not just because she swore off running.

Back in her hometown to nurse her mother’s broken heart after losing her father, she finds herself jobless, hopeless, and penniless. She hopes to rekindle her friendship with her former BFF, but Dylan is attached at the hip to her cruel brother—the one Cal’s been secretly crushing on since middle school.

Falling for the bad boy the second time around would be a mistake of gargantuan proportions.

Too bad she’s always been clumsy.

Truly, Madly, Deeply is a grumpy x sunshine, enemies-to-lovers romance. It is the first in the Forbidden Love series but can be read as a standalone.

I love the sweetness of this book and the story but I feel like the research on her phobia was A little off with her situation seems like she should have had a different kind of phobia to me but other than that I'm not the male character and the whole family

will definitely be listening to this again!

I really didn’t like the way that the audiobook had two narrators, but they read separate chapters so often the male would do the female ch voice or the female narrator would do the male character voice. I didn’t understand why they just didn’t have them each read their own voice. Also, the female MC was irritating that she couldn’t make up her mind.

Not bad for the free book but it could have been better if the storyline flow was more realistic between the carnal desires and the love story. I’m all game for a hot steamy book with sex scenes but the way the main characters dialogue around the intimate parts seemed too much, too forced. If it was toned down slightly and in a more romantic lustful way instead of a kink addicted porn addict, it would have made the love story portion much more believable and helped the listener buy into the story.

Piece of misogynistic crap.

I loved this story! It had a great balance between love/hate and humor with some spice thrown in.

This book definitely helped me with my immersion reading of this book

Profile Avatar Greenbird1571 Jul 2025

I usually like romantic novels with some steam but I was kind of put off my some of this one. I wanted them to get on with it and go back to the plot.

Great story with excellent word play and chapter titles. Could have been a couple of hours shorter.

Was a great book and enjoyable to listen to

Nice Read.

Stopped listening after 1 hour. Editing and plot were poor. Didnt think I was going to listen to graphic porn.

Horrible book. Could not finish.

Profile Avatar Jenny Z. May 2025

I loved this book. When it first came out, I read it twice. It was wonderful to hear it come to life through narration! I always love Teddy Hamilton, and I really liked his performance as Row. Lila Winters did a nice job with Cal, though I echo another review when I note that her strange pronunciation of Kieran was a tad distracting. This is the kind of book I will probably throw on in the car while I wait for my girls in the school pickup line (and then turn it off and pretend I was listening to Taylor Swift the whole time), even though I've heard it before. I feel like I always catch something new whenever I re-read or re-listen to a book, and I'm sure it'll happen with this one, too.

The story had a lot of repetition.

Profile Avatar Anonymous May 2025

Good story. The narration was excellent with one exception: the pronunciation of the name of one of the significant subcharacters, Kieran, was not consistent between the two narrators. Teddy Hamilton pronounced it how I believe is correct and how I’ve always heard it pronounced, “KEE-rin.” Lila Winters pronounced it “Kee-ARAN.” This character is present throughout the entire story and most frequently appears in the chapters narrated by Ms. Winters. It was distracting to hear the mispronunciation repeatedly throughout the story. I dropped what would have been a five-star performance down to four stars for this reason.
