The Anatomy of Forever

By: T.B. Markinson, Miranda MacLeod

Narrated by: Lori Prince

A late bloomer lesbian doctor. A stepdaughter’s best friend. A taboo passion that could destroy them both.

After a messy divorce, Dr. Rowan Colchester finally embraces her true self. A passionate encounter with a younger woman shakes her world. But when she discovers the complicated connection between them, she knows a future together is not in the cards.

Inspired by the loss of her father, Dr. Simone Doucette dreams of being a humanitarian. But when the pressure proves too much, she takes a job in the ER of a small Cape Cod hospital to put the pieces of her life back together. The last thing she expects is for her new boss to be the one-night stand she can’t forget.

As fate—and scandal—pull them together, Rowan and Simone must fight not just for love, but for the hospital’s survival and the soul of their tightknit community. With careers, reputations, and hearts on the line, will they risk everything for a second chance?

For high-stakes passion and a forbidden steamy romance, don’t miss this must-listen collaboration from Miranda MacLeod and TB Markinson.

Lives up to the hype

Stars: 5 Stars
Format: Audiobook
Narrator: Lori Prince
Series: Stand Alone
Steam Level: Steamy

I read this for the 2026 A to Z Book Challenge for A.

This was the first book I added to the A to Z Challenge because I was so excited to read it and it absolutely lived up to all the hype.

Quick Thoughts:
- There is something about the “we had a one night stand but didn’t know we both have the same person who is important to us in our personal lives” set up that I just have so much fun reading
- The trauma that Simone went through as a kid then again as an adult was absolutely heartbreaking
- Two things I really liked about this book is that it didn’t end when they got together and that the Big Third Act Drama wasn’t about them being together
- This is exactly how cats get adopted
- No third act break up!
- I hope Lance ends up in prison
- The character growth almost everyone in the book goes through in this was wonderful to watch
- I had the biggest grin with this ending. It was sweet and adorable and perfect and just made me so happy
- It is ALWAYS a joy to listen to Lori Prince. She did a fantastic job, as usual, and I sincerely hope to listen to a thousand more books of hers

Overall I loved this book. T.B. Markinson and
Miranda MacLeod, by themselves, are an auto buy but when they write together I actively stalk their new releases to preorder it the second I can. I can honestly recommend any book of theirs without having read it.

Loved it

This was a great book, touching important topics and having a great romance. Narration was excellent.

Beautiful story of love, challenges, and the medical profession.

The ‘Anatomy of Forever’ is a passionate and tender tale with just the right touch of angst.

Silly Not to Indulge

Witty and the right balance of story and sexy. Silly not to indulge. Enjoyed multiple times.

Lori is always a great narrator 10/10

Storyline was good, with some predictability. It may deserve a second listen, but I did enjoy it.
