The Life We Wanted

By: Kelsey Kingsley

Narrated by: Virginia Rose, Jeremy York

"You have too many rules."
"And you don't have enough."

Sebastian Moore thought he had it all. A drumming gig with one of the world's biggest up-and-coming stars. The looks and charm to get him any woman he laid his eyes on. All the friends he could ever ask for.

But something was always missing.

That is, until he receives a letter, telling him that he's a father to a 15-year-old boy. Now, with the addition of his son, a love interest he never expected, and a whole new set of responsibilities, Sebastian finds himself happier than he's ever been.

But old habits die hard, and when life finally gives him everything he wanted, he'll have to find a way to keep his past from ruining the present.

loved it

Kelsey's writing style speaks to me, this is my first of her audio books and I loved it! really loved the story and thoroughly enjoyed the narration! top tier 👌

Mixed feelings on this one

I have to say Tabby was not my favorite in this book. I felt she was too worried about what others thought and it took her a long time to let it go and just be happy with herself. I liked Sebastian but he was kind of immature at times too. They did balance each other out but at one point I felt like he deserved someone not ashamed of herself and him. I felt like the ending was rushed but the book itself could have been shorter if I’m making sense.

Strong 4,5 stars

As it was my first read by Kelsey Kingsley , I was very positively surprised. The book was full of real emotions: loss, finding love , heartbreak, doubt, struggle. I also liked that main characters are a little older, mature. Tabbys character was quite annoying at times though. This book is definitely for readers who prefer raw emotions, low angst level and HEA.

So Enjoyable

Beautiful romantic story of an unorthodox family . Narrator really did a great job I enjoyed this book so much.

Thumbelina

It's warm, fuzzy romance with tremendous appeal. Fate being the central character, Kelsey weaves a gentle story that just so happens slowly. A sister falls pregnant and has the baby. Unbeknownst to the father, she brings him up and then tragically dies. The boy's aunt contacts the father and that's how cupid makes them meet.
Timing is everything in this book, everlong song the main anthem.
From life they were thrust with to a life they wanted and deserved, Tabitha & Sebastian want to nest together but personal lives are pulling them apart.
Then Greyson makes three
I loved the Audible narration so much
4.5 stars for Thumbelina
