The Right Side of Forever

(The Perfect Duet #2)

by Meghan Quinn

This is an honest review for an ARC received.

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC [in exchange for an honest review] of the audiobook boxset THE DUETS by Meghan Quinn. The boxset includes the Blue Line Duet and The Perfect Duet. I was going to wait to do a review for when I finished the whole audio ARC, but I decided to do individual reviews on each book and then 1 full review for the Duets.

First, you don’t have to read the first duet, which is Blue Line Duet, but I highly recommend it. That’s where we first meet Colby and Ryan along with other characters like Stryder and Rory. There’s so much that we learn about them in that first duet. I feel like having listened to that first makes this duet 10 times better because you start out already emotionally attached to the characters. You DO have to read the 1st book in this duet for sure. Meghan Quinn is the BEST when it comes to character building. She tells their story in a way that before you know it, you’re emotionally invested in the characters. It was a perfectly delivered story about friendship, healthy relationships, true love, and loving yourself above all else.  Mental health is a very real and relevant issue. Thank you Meghan for bringing awareness to this and addressing it so perfectly.  I’m beyound happy with how everything played out. I said it in the last review and I’ll say it again: Colby Brooks is the sexiest alpha-male EVER! OMG, the dirty talk! My face is constantly flushed when he speaks. And Ryan – I absolutely loved watching her grow, heal, and fall in love. And how could you not love Sage? She’s so sweet, nerdy, caring, and thoughtful. I really hope we get stories on the fighter pilot friends because they are so much fun.

Another reader (Dali on Goodreads) said it best: “It’s virtually impossible to write a review about a duet like this without diminishing the reader’s experience. Books like these are meant to be enjoyed every step excruciating, fun, sexy moment of it.” She’s right – it’s hard to write a review for books like these because the reader needs to experience every bit of it themselves.  Strap in gals, you’re in for one heck of a flight!

“It’s easy to fall in love: to be infatuated with another person, but what makes a love last a lifetime is the foundation it’s built from.”

Narrators Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell were perfectly cast to guide us through this journey. Joe’s voice is perfect for Colby’s young but dominating demeanor, and Maxine is perfect for Ryan’s tenacity. They help the story flow easily from one chapter to the next.  The story in itself is great, but the narrators take that excellence to a higher level. Their emotional tones fit the plot, making it easy to connect to the characters. I couldn’t stop listening to this audiobook. Thank you, Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell, for bringing this beautiful book to life. **clears throat** And Joe can dirty talk very well. Just sayin.
