Reverse

Bittersweet Symphony Duet, Book 2

By: Kate Stewart

Narrated by: Joe Arden, Maxine Mitchell

From the bestselling author of The Ravenhood Trilogy comes an angsty, steamy journey filled with love, loss, and self discovery.

Thirty years ago, my father became the other half of a broken love story.

A relationship he’s kept hidden for decades.

Upon unearthing his secret through a series of emails in our paper’s archives, I began my search for the truth. Haunted by my father’s love story, and in my quest for answers, I never imagined I would discover a love of my own. Or that my love for Easton Crowne would be key in discovering the reason behind what split our parents up.

Doomed from the start and knowing the havoc our relationship would inevitably wreak on our families, I could never have prepared for the toll it would take or the cost of the truth.

But in order to find our ending, we had to go back to their beginning.

My name is Natalie Butler, and this is my star-crossed love story.

brilliant - 10 stars

Natalie Butler, a journalist following in her father's footsteps, dreams of one day taking over the reins of his company. While Nathan, her proud father, would move mountains for her, he realizes that she needs to prove her abilities. Natalie is given the task of researching the company's history and comes across old emails between her father and Stella, a woman he loved but who also broke his heart. Left with unanswered questions, Natalie, unable to confront her father, seeks out Easton Crowne — an up-and-coming talent in the music industry and Stella's only son. Under the guise of another motive, Natalie meets Easton, who sees through her ruse but can't deny the attraction between them. As the two strangers open up to each other, they discover truths about themselves. Although they fall in love, they're aware of the potential harm to their families and resist the connection — until they can't. Easton, with his raw emotions, becomes everything to Natalie, challenging her truths and breaking down barriers in their unexpected love story. Natalie fought her feelings because she knew how this would shatter their families until she couldn’t fight it anymore. They crossed a line, bliss in their love for one another until it all came crumbling down along with their families hurt.
Easton, resilient in his commitment, fought against life's unfairness, determined to continue their love story. Natalie, torn between the men in her life, chose to embark on a journey of self-discovery. But the question remained, can she really find herself when her greatest loves are at odds with each other? While Easton struggled, the specter of a rebellious rockstar threatened his path. Will fate bring them back together, or has the past already written their future? This is by far the most romantic book of all time. Easton Crowne's journey had me shedding tears too numerous to count. Natalie's steadfastness was infuriating at times, but she had understandable concerns and reasons. This rollercoaster of emotions was exactly what I signed up for. Hats off to Kate Stewart; if I could give this book 10 stars, I absolutely would.

OMG!!!!!! JUST WOW........

I commute 1.5 hour each way for work and I CAN NOT tell you what a ride it has been listening to this book. I have not been full of SO MUCH EMOTION in a very long time. I knew I loved Drive and couldn't wait for Reverse to come out but I wasn't ready for it at all..... I didn't realize that I was going to go head first..... so many emotions..... so much identification..... thank you Kate for delivering another amazing story. Looking forward to the next....

The epilogue is everything.

Natalie’s character is exhausting, but the epilogue makes it worth sticking through to the final hour.

So I’m love

I am so in love this this story! It is by far the greatest love story I have ever read. Nothing can compare.

The narrators embodied this love so beautifully and it turned out so amazing!
