Resumen del Editor

What could possibly go wrong fake dating the gorgeous single dad in a small town? The answer, you fall for him.

It started out perfect. Grady Whitlock needed a plus one for his business meetings, and I needed a date for a wedding.

We had a plan. It was a good one. Until it wasn’t.

I was not supposed to have feelings for him. I was not going to let my heart race when his soulful blue eyes stared into mine. No way should I have noticed his smile or the dimple on his right cheek or his strong arms when he held me close. I especially wasn’t going to melt when I saw him play with my daughter. Most of all I was not going to sleep with him.

Nope. None of that was supposed to happen, but it does.

Now I find myself dreaming of him every night. Wishing we were really a couple, because the way he kisses me doesn’t feel as if it’s pretend.

But we’ve both watched our dreams shatter, and I can’t handle another broken heart.

A first for Corrine and for me :)

After finishing Broken Dreams I’m left wondering if / when the true Corrine will show up. For the first time in all the years I’ve been an avid fan I actually laughed more than I ever have and didn’t shed a single tear. Needless to say I LOVED Broken Dreams but now I am terrified of the next book will bring.

🎧 Narration: i finished my arc & immediately had to listen to the audio after i heard a clip. it did not disappoint. sebastian york was absolutely perfect for grady. he was gruff but soft & he did an excellent job with the stern vibes during the spicy scenes 🔥 kit swann did a really nice job as addison. she did such a great voice for grady & the kids. overall the audio enhanced the book & i would recommend the audio.

oh gosh this one was a heart wrenching story premise but corinne (per usual) wrote it so well i felt so satisfied & happy with grady & addison’s love story. bonding over tragedy brought the two together & wanting to accomplish moving into the next step of their lives has the two hatching a fake dating plan that is supposed to be straight forward & easy. but these two just had too much chemistry for it to go according to plan 🤣 instead they slowly & deliciously go from friends to lovers to falling in love 😍. i adored this story & cannot wait for more visits to sugarloaf.

Story line

I love how the story captures your attention right away. I especially love the added scene at the end of the book.

One criticism

I don't like Kit Swann's male voice, and her imitation of children is annoying as well. Otherwise, it's a great listen. It's sexy, and also manages to be funny and thoughtful. Sebastian York is always a great narrator.

Loved it!

Another good story by this author. I haven't listened to one yet that I didn't enjoy. This one was no different. I did grt a little frustrated with the MMC and wanted to smack him upside the head and tell him to get over himself...but that's half the fun of these books is watching how the MCs evolve and finally come around. Performance was excellent. These two are some of my favorite narrators.

Great book

This one was really steamy! Storyline was good! I never pass up an opportunity to listen to Sebastian York narrate! If his name is in it I’m listening. The female narrator was also great. I don’t think I have listened to her before. I enjoyed this second book in the series!

Good story but bad female narrator

I liked the story overall and Sebatian did a wonderful job as always! The female narrator was hard to listen to the longer the book went on. Her kid voice and male voice were cringy and she seemed to over act alot which was frustrating. I like this author and liked the book but just wished it had a different female narrator!

Good except the female narrator

I think I would have enjoyed this book much more if it had a different female narrator. Her kid voices and one particular part where her character is drunk, are incredibly annoying.

Beautiful story!!

This book was absolutely perfect!! The story as well as narration completely made me fall in love!

Friends to lovers to more....

Ahhhhh, we finally get to Addison’s story and it was worth the wait. Grady is the perfect match for her. Both single parents with kids in the same class. They agree to fake date for various reasons to benefit each of them.
Both are dealing with grief issues but in different ways. It’s a wonderful story of their journey from friends to lovers to more. Not only do we get more of the Whitlock siblings but there’s a bonus visit to Rose Canyon and those characters. What’s not to like? The additional bonus scenes at the end were worth the read by themselves!

Sebastian York and Kit Swann were outstanding as always. A great pairing for this story.
