I really enjoyed this collection of 3 beautiful, and poignant love stories.
The Perfect Fit
This is an age gap story about an optimistic, young veterinarian and a battle-scarred Army veteran who become roommates. Margo is just starting her dream job after finishing school. She found a place to live from a suggestion her Uncle gave her. Zeke is an army friend of her Uncle but much younger and sexier than she expected. Zeke has love and lost before and add that to an injury, he doesn’t feel worthy of love, especially for his new, brilliant, much younger roommate. But Margo falls for him despite his flaws, now she has to show him they are worth fighting for.
A Kick in The Pants
This is a forbidden romance about Jake and Kyla, a trainee in his department. They both live their lives playing it safe. They are so attracted to each other but can’t act on it until Kyla moves on to another job. But as Jake is making his plans to finally ask her out, it could be too little too late when someone else asks her out first. Now Jake needs to up his game before he loses her for good.
Will Never Fade
This is a second chance romance between Phoebe and Garrett. They were friends and lovers in college until Phoebe disappears without a trace. Garrett is heartbroken and never forgot the only woman he ever loved. Now they meet again and Garrett will not let her go again. Phoebe has always loved Garrett, but she has a heartbreaking secret and she doesn’t want to risk getting close to Garret again only to break both their hearts for good.
All three of these stories were short but packed an emotional punch. The narration by Jason Clarke, and Ava Lucas only added to the beauty and emotion of each story. They easily brought each character and story to life. I always enjoy their work and together they both made these fun, emotional and sexy stories even better.
Forever in Blue Jeans is a great box set featuring men and women who work at Riley O’Brien & Co, an iconic denim company located in San Francisco.
The Perfect Fit features Margo, a young veterinarian who has just moved to San Francisco, and Zeke, an older Army vet who works in Riley’s supply chain and logistics department. They become roommates when Margo’s uncle recommends her to Zeke when she needs a reasonably priced place to live. I love The Perfect Fit, it’s my favorite of these three novellas. Zeke and Margo (Go-Go) are such a sweet couple and really have to work hard to get their HEA. He’s got very obvious damage from his time overseas (both internally and externally), but Margo is so kind and compassionate and just wants to love him and take care of him, along with her adorable Doberman, Roby.
A Kick in the Pants features Jake (introduced in The Perfect Fit), VP of the Finance Dept. at Riley, and Kyla, a trainee whose rotation in the Finance Dept. under the management trainee program is just about to finally come to an end. And when she’s finally done with her time in the Finance Dept., Jake will finally be able to ask out the woman he’s been attracted to since he first met her. A Kick in the Pants is sexy and sweet and low drama.
Will Never Fade features Phoebe, also in the management trainee program at Riley, and Garrett, a hotelier with whom she was friends and had a one night stand in college years earlier. Garrett and Phoebe have steamy chemistry, and their bond as friends just becomes stronger as their relationship evolves. I hated the decision Phoebe makes toward the end about their relationship, but I feel for her and understand why. Thank God, she figures out she was being ridiculous, though!
I do want to read more about Riley O’Brien & Co., so I think I’ll check out the full length novels Jenna Sutton has written. If they’re anything like these three novellas, I know I’ll like them.
The Perfect Fit
I enjoyed this one so much. Margo has just moved to San Francisco to begin working as a vet and needs a place to live and her uncle has set her up with an old Army buddy who is looking for a roommate. It is in an upscale and safe neighborhood but when she arrives with her dog and he opens the door she is surprised. Zeke May had to retire from the Army after he was injured after an IED blast that left him living as an amputee. The only hint of this is a limp so no one knows about it though and that is just how he wants it. Watching Margo and Zeke learn to live together and the sparks and chemistry between them as they are certainly great friends but also trying not to act on the obvious love. I definitely recommend this one!

Will Never Fade
This second chance love story is heart breakingly beautiful and heart wrenching at the same time. Phoebe ran from Garrett three years ago after spending the night making love and she did not reply to his texts or calls and now on New Years Eve they come face to face. It is a shock for both of them and the sparks are still there. Now Garrett wants to find out what happened but Phoebe runs again. Every turn she runs from him. Phoebe has a secret and she is still living in the past and until she can come to grips with that she will not be able to live for the future. Will their love be able to survive her insecurities? Will she be able to overcome her fears? This one requires tissues while reading and I found myself cussing at Phoebe along the way too.
Forever in Blue Jeans: Riley O’Brien & Co. Novella Collection
The Perfect Fit – A Kick in The Pants – Will Never Fade
By: Jenna Sutton
Narrated by: Jason Clarke, Ava Lucas
This is the perfect escape, back into the world of Riley O’Brien & Co! I love collections like this, each having their own individual story, but connecting with characters we have gotten to know and love. We have three stories, the first, The Perfect Fit, featuring Zeke and Margo. Zeke is a veteran, discharged for injury and is in need of a roommate. Margo is new to town, working as a vet and need a place to live. And our story begins. It’s warm, loving, includes deeper issues like PTSD and gives us all the feels. Next we have A Kick in the Pants introducing Jake and Kyla. These two work together, and because Jake is her boss, there has been no interaction. When this situation changes though, Jake is right in there taking what he has been dying to have and Kyla is thrilled. But now things are changing, and compromises have to be made. Will their love survive? It’s fun, flirty, sexy and has some grit. Finishing the trilogy, we enjoy meeting Phoebe and Garrett in Will Never Fade. This one has some real issues that make the story so good, I had to see how it was going to end. Phoebe is such a real character for me and Garrett is just the best book boyfriend. Then you add in getting to see Teagan & Nick and Amelia & Quinn and it’s like coming home. This collection is feel good, entertaining and just a fantastic listen.
Ava Lucas and Jason Clarke are such an amazing team. They are both narrators I will one click just because I find their voices so good, their performances make me calm and happy. Ava really brings her A game to her voices for these women. Each is such a different personality and she finds their nuances and brings it all out. Jason is always the perfect fit for the men. He too zones in on the character and brings out their qualities. I loved this book and their performance just makes it even better.
