Book description
Imagine the crisp mountain air of the Catskills, the scent of pine needles underfoot, and the slow-burn heat of a forbidden glance-this is the world Timothy Janovsky crafts in Once Upon You and Me, perfectly realized in its captivating audiobook form. The moment you press play, the narrator's voice, warm and effortlessly engaging, pulls you straight into Taylor Frost's meticulously planned world. He's all polished charm and quiet confidence, sent to prep a sweet sixteen party at the Storybook Endings Resort-a place that feels like a living fairy tale, complete with whispering pines and the promise of magic. But then, Ethan Golding walks in: rugged, weathered, and carrying the quiet ache of a divorce that still feels like a bad ending. His voice, low and textured in the audiobook, crackles with unspoken history as he watches Taylor navigate the resort's whimsical halls, a tension building like the first notes of a slow dance.
What makes this audiobook truly sing is how the narration mirrors the story's delicate balance. You hear the playful spark in Taylor's flirtation, the way his voice dips with surprise when he realizes Ethan is the birthday girl's father-and Amy's ex-husband. The narrator captures Ethan's internal shift perfectly: the moment he stops seeing just the resort manager and starts seeing the possibility of something new, something real, in the way his voice softens when he says, "You make me want to believe in the happy ending." The audiobook's pacing is masterful, letting the slow burn simmer-each exchanged glance, each accidental touch, charged with the kind of electricity you can almost feel in the quiet space between the words. You'll lean in, breath catching, as the narrator delivers lines like "This isn't just the beginning of a more erotic kind of bedtime story... it's the beginning of everything," with a quiet intensity that makes your own heart race.
And then there's Amy-the boss, the ex-wife, the obstacle. Her voice, crisp and controlled in the audiobook, becomes the shadow over every stolen moment, making the tension palpable. You feel the weight of her disapproval, the nearness of the inevitable collision, making every whispered conversation between Taylor and Ethan feel like a precious, fleeting secret. The audiobook doesn't just tell you about the forbidden pull; it makes you feel the risk in the spaces between sentences, the way a single breath could shatter the fragile magic they're building. It's a romance that's equal parts sweet and spicy, where the fairy tale isn't just in the setting but in the quiet courage it takes to chase a love that defies expectations. By the end, you won't just have heard a story-you'll have lived it, heart pounding, in the cozy warmth of your headphones, utterly convinced that sometimes, the most enchanting endings begin with a single, forbidden step.
