About this listen

Therapist. Client. Catastrophic chemistry.

Dr. Nicola Forbes has spent years building a life defined by boundaries—clinical, emotional, ethical. But when Avery Hall, a rising Hollywood star, walks into her therapy office, Nic feels something she hasn’t in years: want.

Avery is bold, brazen, and struggling under the weight of queer fame.

Nic is grieving her wife, hiding behind professionalism, and failing—spectacularly—not to fall for her client.

What begins with guarded glances and charged conversations becomes a line-crossing affair neither woman can walk away from.

Nic knows the consequences. Loving Avery could cost her her license, her reputation, everything she’s built.

But not loving her might be the greater loss.

Love Me Like You Shouldn’t is a forbidden sapphic romance about desire, fame, and the kind of love that’s absolutely, dangerously worth it.

Harper Bliss never shies away from controversial pairings and “Love Me Like You Shouldn’t” is no exception,. Perhaps it is her most contentious yet due to the ethical questions and dilemmas it raises. The beginning of Avery and Nic’s relationship is difficult to condone, both ethically and morally, especially if you have either worked or been treated in a therapeutic environment. However, Bliss excels at pushing the boundaries of the forbidden romance trope and in “Love Me Like You Shouldn’t” she effortlessly conveys a sense of the inevitability of human connection between the two main characters and the fallibility of even the most conscientious professional. Some emotions are too strong to resist and some choices impossible not to make. What sets this book apart is Nic’s need to be accountable for her ethical violations and her acceptance of the consequences of her choices and actions.

“Love Me Like You Shouldn’t” shows us how healing comes in many forms. I was screaming “No! No! No!” then sighing “Yes, Yes! Yes!” throughout this book because in Avery and Nic’s story Harper Bliss gives us a love so strong that the morally grey becomes a beautiful rainbow!

Abby Craden’s fabulous narration brings this book to sizzling life!

Harper Bliss at her scorching nuanced best!
