I calmed his demons. He created mine.

Macon Davis. My best friend’s brother. My tormentor. My least favorite person. Pothead. Delinquent. A careless, directionless loser.

That’s what I used to believe, but I didn’t really know him. And when I finally saw him, it was the best and worst thing to ever happen to me.

We burned hot and fast. Passion. Anger. Love. Pain. We were reckless. Naive. We were doomed from the start.

When I finally saw Macon Davis for who he was, we both went down in the flames.

***

The Love of My Next Life is part one of a duet. It is just as much a love story as it is a tale of ruin. While the duet will end in an HEA, book one does not.

• Thoughts:
Have you ever read a story that has captured your whole heart, mind, body, and soul? This is one of those books! It was everything, I was so captivated and so in love with the heart, feelings, and words the author laid out in front of us. This book was so well done. We meet Lennon and Macon when they are elementary age and into their last year of high school. The level of understanding they have for one another, the type of love where their souls recognize each other. These stories are the ones that stay with me for a lifetime. I don't think this couple will ever leave me. I was so deeply touched and have the book hangover to prove it. Lol. This is a review where I will tell you after you verify this book won't trigger you. You need to read it. My words will not do this book justice. I wish I could write a review to do this book justice. Just read it.

•Narrator thoughts:
JF Harding and Lidia Dornet were 100 percent pure perfection!!! I loved their performance. I love them! These two narrators are incredible, and they brought Lennon and Macon to life. Fantastic job!!!

Ahhmazing

Listener received this title free

I read The Love of My Next Life when it first came out so I thought I was prepared to listen to the audio book. But again I was completely blown away by this story. The audio version just brought it more to life and therefore made me more invested. Narrators Lidia Dornet & JF Harding did an amazing job as Macon & Lennon and I couldn't have loved it more!

If you haven't met Macon & Lennon yet what are you waiting for?!

Amazing Start To This Duet!

You know what they say about little boys that tease little girls…well, that is the story of Macon & Lennon’s entire relationship. As they get older, Lennon starts to see a different side to Mason. While Macon struggles with his demons, Lennon seems to be the other thing that soothes him. The angst in this book had my chest aching. I missed that feeling. Thank you Ms. Benson for bringing that feeling back. I am doing a marathon sprint of this series and the book I missed in the Hometown Heartless series before For Wrath & Redemption releases in less than 10 days. I am so happy this series is complete because after that ending, I would have been going insane waiting for the next one to release.

Loved it!!

I think it’s best to prepare yourself.
The story is as beautifully written as it is devastating. It’s a page-turner, and I’m relieved that the second book is available because I couldn’t stand that cliffhanger.

Tropes:
Childhood enemies to lovers
High school
Nice girl/trouble boy
Multi faceted characters

Content warning:
Drug use
Drug abuse (OD on page)
Bullying
Suicide

Macon and Lennon’s story is filled with angst, passion, and toxicity. It’s the kind of book that frustrates you, breaks your heart, and keeps you hooked until the very end.

No one is entirely right, and no one is entirely to blame—except maybe Claire and Macon’s father. Every character, both main and side, exists in a morally grey area.

See you in the next life…

I am completely heartbroken

I kept putting off reading this book. I looked at it a lot, but just wasn't sure I wanted to read it. It turned out to be an amazing book, and I can't wait to read book two in the duet.

Wish I had read sooner
