Mary agrees to a blind date with the son of one of her clients. She's back in the dating pool and is an optimistic person by nature. When the date starts off on the wrong foot, Mary tries to give John Modesto-Whitford the benefit of the doubt. But when John drops a less than flattering comment about Mary's age, she's out. She doesn't deserve to sit on a blind date and feel harassed.
As soon as the words leave John's mouth, he knows he should never have said them. He tries to make things right with Mary and even seeks her out at her shop to apologize in person. But that setback landed him firmly in the friend zone.
The more time Mary and John seem to spend with each other - the harder it is to not want something more. They understand each others vulnerabilities and complicated familial relationships. Both John and Mary are fighting their own battles with their loved ones, but can always rely on one another. Will they end up taking a chance on one another after their rocky beginning?

The audiobook of Flirting with Forever was narrated by Susannah Jones and I loved her narration of both Mary and John. I could always feel the varying emotions from both characters - from frustration to elation. I enjoyed the audiobook so much that I would often find things to do around the house or walk just so I could continue listening to the audiobook of Flirting with Forever.
I'm not sure why I haven't read a book by Cara Bastone before, but I can't wait to read more of her backlist! I really enjoyed the sweet, sexy slow burn romance in Flirting with Forever!
I received a complimentary audiobook copy of this book from the publisher.
