Story
I don’t have time for flings. Love is out of the question. As a single mom and small-town doctor, my plate is more than full. But when Drake Kershaw, an experienced physician with a mysterious past, comes into my life, I can't resist his charm. He’s unlike anyone I’ve ever met before. Drake is smart, charming, and has a heart of gold. But he’s also grumpy and hesitant to let anyone close. Like the rest of his wealthy family, he’s full of secrets. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s dangerous. I should stay away, but how can I when he works in my practice?

Story
Help Wanted: Grumpy Mountain Man seeks baby momma. Job is an incubator position only. Surrogate must be impervious to grunting in the form of communication and nosey brotherly neighbors. Rustic mountain range housing available upon request. I wanted to pummel my irritating brothers when they posted their own version of a wanted ad to help me with my life. But I can’t fault the results once the right woman lands on my lap. Becoming a single father is not a decision I made lightly. In fact, it’s the biggest decision of my entire life.

Publisher's summary
From USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa comes an angsty, fake-fiance, opposites attract, secret billionaire romance.
What do you do when you’re tired of being the loser?
You make up the perfect fiancé, of course.
I know it sounds desperate, but hear me out.
In my family, everyone is someone.
But me? I’m just a small-town librarian with no prospects and no future.
At every family reunion, my older sister reminds me of that fact.
So when she announced her own upcoming nuptials, I knew I had to act fast. I needed a fake fiancé to bring to the wedding and prove that I was happy and successful too.
Enter River Kershaw, the town playboy.
My bestie Wren suggested him, and I was hesitant at first.
He's the complete opposite of me: a charming extrovert.
But I can't deny that he's tall, strong, and hot.
I know it's a risk, but I'm determined to show my family that I'm just as happy and in love as they are. Even if that means pretending to be with someone who's totally not my type.
I'm ready to give the performance of a lifetime.
Dirty Secret Love is the second book in the Heartwood Lake Secret Billionaire Series—an emotional rollercoaster of a journey that combines the intense drama of Succession and the hilarity of Schitt's Creek. A must-listen.

Story
Ask any new parent; no one is ever actually ready to become one, are they? Even with nine months to prepare, it's still a shock. Still mind-blowing that this tiny, little thing is now your sole responsibility. Except try coming home to find a baby on your doorstep, wearing a pink striped hat and attached to a note saying she belongs to you. Then you can say parenthood is a shock. Overnight my bachelor life ceased to exist; my heart now owned by one woman. My daughter.

Fun and steamy fake relationship romance!
What a fun and steamy fake relationship romance! We are back in Heartwood Lake learning more about the Thorndale/Kershaw family and the many secrets this town holds. This is River Kershaw and Sutton Asher's story that is filled with secrets, fun banter, heartfelt emotion, and fiery chemistry. Sutton has avoided her critical mother, by living away from her in the small town of Heartwood Lake. She loves her quiet life as a librarian but is tired of feeling like the black sheep of the family. She told her mother she was engaged to a billionaire, and it worked great until her mom moved to town and wanted to meet this mystery man. River had his life taken away when his father was murdered. Now he is in hiding, living a simple life in Heartwood Lake with his estranged family. The one thing that has made it better was seeing Sutton at the library everyday. When she asked him to pretend to be her fake fiancé, he jumped at the chance. Now he can show her who he is without giving away any secrets. They need to really sell their engagement, but it doesn't take long for their fiery attraction to lead to explosive passion. River is surprised with how easy it is to open up to Sutton. He likes that she wants to be with him for himself and not for his wealth. He is determined to win Sutton over, no matter how hard she guards her heart. Sutton and River are so great together, they are opposites who challenge each other and that sets their chemistry on fire! River was so sweet, protective, and swoony, and Sutton is so selfless, kind, and confident. They are so perfect together and the transformation of their relationship was sweet and romantic, and the sexual tension and fiery chemistry was off the charts! I loved seeing their wonderful family and friends who meddled in their lives but are also protective and supported them. I also loved the pet name arc throughout their story. The mystery surrounding this little community continues in the background, leaving me intrigued and wondering how it will all play out.
Aaron Shedlock and Stephanie Németh-Parker brought this story to life so beautifully. They did a terrific job capturing each characters personality, and I love the emotion, and passion they brought to their performances.
This is a an incredibly fun, sweet and sizzling romance, and I can't wait for more from this quirky little town and the Thorndale/Kershaw family!

Loved it
Having read the first book in the latest series from Claudia Burgoa I was excited to read Dirty Secret Love and it was a good addition to the series.
This is River and Sutton’s story, and it was well written and entertaining. The Thorndale’s have been through so much and it is their support of one another that adds an extra layer to these stories.
Ms. Burgoa has an affinity for small town romances and this book is a good example of the genre. When River and Sutton enter into a fake engagement, neither expect feelings to become involved but we all know.
Helping Sutton deal with her horrible mother, River has her back. As secrets are revealed their relationship blossoms. Of course it wouldn’t be a Claudia Burgoa book without the angst. I enjoyed the dynamic between River and Sutton. The banter was witty and it was entertaining to watch as River realised that he wanted more from life, he wanted Sutton.
The narration by Aaron Shedlock and Stephanie Nemeth-Parker drew me in and had me invested as I listened to their narration. They brought the story and characters to life for me. Their voices are easy to listen too, and they expressed all the drama, romance and passion

Fake Engagement, what could go wrong??
Dirty Secret Love is the second book in the Heartwood Lake series. I thought it was fun, cute and the narrators did an amazing job. This is River and Sutton's story and who doesn't enjoy a good fake engagement story with a HEA?
Oh my gosh, Sutton's mother was a nightmare! Sutton can't ever do anything right so she panicked when her sister got engaged and she was getting picked on by her mom. Hence, she created the fake fiance/engagement. River is the complete opposite of Sutton. He's known as the town playboy and he's living in Heartwood Lake in secret for protection. Once River meets Sutton's mother he feels there is no other choice but to help her.
This little arrangement starts off as friendly funny banter but starts to turn into something more. The chemistry between these two is piping hot. The one thing about arrangements, when you set ground rules to never fall in love, that almost always backfires on you! I recommend reading/listening to this book and also starting the series!

Loved the story and the narration
This is Sutton and River’s story and it’s book two in the Heartwood Lake Series and for me it’s a perfect addition to this small town romance series. After reading the first book I was excited to get back to
Aaron Shedlock and Stephanie Nemeth-Parker did a wonderful job bringing the characters and their story to life. They were spot on with banter, the passion and the emotion that flows through this book.
Heartwood Lake’s and catch up with Rivers brothers and Sutton’s best friends and all I need to say is this book was everything I expected and so much more. It’s a fun, witty, entertaining with just the right amount of angst, fake engagement that becomes real…….
Dirty Secret Love touched me on so many levels, I smiled, I swooned and I found myself cheering this couple on as River try’s his best to convince Sutton to give love a try. How does he convince her just how special she is to him….. A steamy, witty and entertaining read that I highly recommend .

Fabulous Story & Listen🎧 Delightfully Entertainin
It is great to be back in Heartland Lake for another fabulous novel and it was just as amazing as the first and not to be missed book, “A Place Like You”. This second book is Sutton and River’s story, and the story not only captivated my attention the entire time, but it tugged at my heartstrings too. Sutton is the town’s librarian, and she built a good life in Heartwood Lake, made forever friends and kept away from her demanding and always criticizing mother. River is a Kershaw, formally known as Thorndale, who, along with his entire family, is in witness protection and hiding out in Heartland Lake, until it is safe to return to his life. It is Finnegan Gill who is running the protection program there and l am loving how he is keeping these billionaires humbled and on their toes. When Sutton finds out her parents are coming to Heartwood Lake to stay, she needs to do something to help keep her off her back, that something was to get a fake fiancé and her friends suggest one of the Kershaws. River came into the library wanting books and she took that opportunity to ask him, but he was going to say no, but was on board after seeing how her mother treated her. I loved how everything played out in this book, and it was great to watch these two get to know each other, share their secrets, and what secrets they were. The chemistry between them was electric, and inevitably, their fake relationship would morph into something more, something real. As always, the writing, plot and world building are fantastic, as are the character growth and development. The story has the perfect balance of drama, charming humor, heartfelt emotions and steamy romance. Claudia Burgoa, thank you for another wonderful story and emotional roller coaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 Aaron Shedlock and Stephanie Németh-Parker are wonderfully talented voice artists and they did an amazing job bringing these characters and story to life. Both Sherlock’s and Németh-Parker’s portrayal of the characters was spot on, grasping every aspect of their characters’ personality, and performing the roles with perfection. They set the right tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to and their performance elevates the already amazing story to another level. Thank you for another fabulous listen.
