Never with You

Always Say Never, Book 1

By: Kortney Keisel

Narrated by: Ash Beverly, Amanda Dolan

Carly Catterson has one rule: never date a coworker again.

After her last office romance ended in humiliation—complete with a public breakup and a change in careers—Carly swore off love in the workplace. And especially love with Nate Farnsworth, the infuriatingly charming office rival at her new job.

But when Nate needs a fake girlfriend to fool his parents, and Carly needs a way to make her ex squirm, a mutually beneficial arrangement is born. The plan is simple: fake smiles, staged hand-holding, and absolutely no real feelings involved.

Only, somewhere between stolen glances and too-convincing kisses, Carly starts to see a side of Nate she never expected—kind, funny, and not at all the enemy she thought.

But where does that leave the mystery pen pal who's been her anonymous confidant for months? The one who actually understands her?

With their fake dating deal nearing the end and a scheduled meeting with her pen pal on the horizon, Carly has to decide. Go back on her rule and risk her heart with Nate, or walk away from the online guy who knows her best.

Never With You brings all the tension and sizzling chemistry without language or explicit scenes. It's book one in the Always Say Never Series. Narrated in duet style.

Carly & Nate

Made me laugh, made me cringe, great ending. Much prefer this female narrator over the one that narrated most of Kortney's previous books.

Love the main man

I love a good rom com but can’t give it a 5 star because the leading lady is a rude, selfish bratt. I liked the story enough to tolerate Carly but it’s definitely a one time book.

Fantastic from start to finish!

I loved every minute of this story! It suckled me in so fast and the narration was perfection. I love the hidden identity elements of the story and the way they brought everything together. It made the ending so sweet!! Also the chemistry was masterfully written! I can’t wait to continue this series.

Fun clean unexpected!

Perfect rom com! Witty, charming, and heartwarming characters. Loved every minute of the book. Clean romance.

So cute!

I’ve been on the hunt for an author who can write something clean and wholesome without drifting into cheesy territory. Finally found it. The giddy feelings and butterflies with Nate and Carly were perfection!
