Wild Hearts

De: Kacey Shea

Narrado por: Holly Warren, Robert Hatchet

The day I left Wilder Valley, I swore I’d never return.

My dreams were too big for this small town, and I was determined to make it in LA, even if that meant leaving behind the man I loved.

Now I’m back, brokenhearted and publicly humiliated after a colossal breakup live-streamed to the masses. I have no career or money to show for my 23 years away. If I could hide out anywhere else on the planet, I would.

Instead, I resort to taking the only job in town. A nanny gig for my high school sweetheart.

Life didn’t go as planned for him either.

Ryan Wilder might be running his family ranch and looking like a tall glass of water while doing it, but he’s also drowning in responsibility, raising three children on his own, and dealing with the challenges of caring for his aging father.

We strike up a deal to help each other out. He offers me a place to stay along with a steady paycheck. In exchange I keep his teenagers out of trouble while figuring out my next step. Everything is perfect until those pesky little feelings from our youth come roaring back.

This time is different, though. We’ve experienced life, and we know what we want. At least, I thought I did. All the dreams I had for myself existed outside of this town, but the more time I spend with Ryan and his family, the more I question everything. Including my wild heart.

Narrated by Holly Warren and Robert Hatchet, Wild Hearts is a steamy second-chance small-town later-in-life romance between a single dad in his 40s and the one who got away!

Sweet, Heartfelt, and Steamy Romance!

What a great story! I adore second chance romance, and when you add in a sexy single dad, I am completely hooked! Val and Ryan have been best friends and each others first loves. Val doesn't have the best home life and spends much of her time at Ryan's home. She can't wait for graduation so she can leave her unhappy home to follow her dreams. Unfortunately that means leaving Ryan behind to help run the family ranch, leaving them both brokenhearted. Now twenty two years later, Val is returning home after many successes, but escaping a scandal that she was falsely accused of. She is devastated and embarrassed, fearing what the people back home will think of her, especially Ryan. Ryan is now a single father of three and running the family ranch. He is struggling to be a good father and work. He is in desperate need of a nanny to help with the kids, and Val is in desperate need of a job. When they first see each other, the sparks come back to life. Val agrees to help for awhile, not sure how long she will stay in the small town she always wanted to escape. The more time Val and Ryan spend together, the more their old feelings resurface and their sizzling chemistry is impossible to ignore. They try to keep their passion a secret, since it is only temporary. But when she is welcomed by old friends and family, and her heart starts opening up to Ryan and his kids, she begins to see this small town, and Ryan, as the home she has always wanted. Ryan wants Val to stay, but when the women he loves always leave, he has a hard time risking his heart again. Val and Ryan's timing wasn't right the first time around, can they make it work the second time when they have so much heartbreak holding them back? I loved this sweet, heartfelt, and sizzling romance! Val and Ryan were so great together, their connection and chemistry was undeniable. I loved how protective and loving she became with the kids, even when she didn't think it was possible. Ryan really made me swoon with how much he loved his family, and worked hard to be a good dad, son and lover.
Narrators, Holly Warren, and Robert Hatchet were amazing as they brought this wonderful story to life. They nailed all the characters perfectly, making me feel all the complex emotions they went through, and made me laugh out loud, cry, and totally swoon. This was a fun, emotional and steamy romance that captured my heart.

Second Chance Love and Family

A great second chance love story with a bonus family. Val is back in town and looking for work. She never imagined Ryan asking her to Nanny his kids who have ran off many others in town. What started off fun and light turned in to ahold lot more. But will Ryan let her in??!! This Audio book just brought it all to life. Both Narrators did a amazing job. Bringing emotion and life to the story. A must read and listen.
I received a ARC from the Author for a Honest Review.

Great Listen!

A cute single dad, second chance romance. The narrators did a good job telling Ryan and Val's story. Val and Ryan were childhood sweethearts when Val left it wasn't on good terms with Ryan. 20 something years later after a devastating public breakup Val finds herself no where to turn but to go home. Ryan is struggling to take care of his three kids, an ailing dad and a ranch. Val needs a job and Ryan needs help so she ends up working for her ex. I enjoyed listening to this story.

Heartfelt small-town romance

This was a sweet (and a little spicy) small-town romance, set in the town of Wilder Valley. I appreciated that the MCs are both in their 40's, that's not something that is done often. I'm a sucker for a single dad trope and this was written well and in a way that was really relatable as a parent. I look forward to the rest of the series!

A great start to a new series.

I really enjoyed this single dad/small town/ second chance storyline. Great banter and chemistry between Val and Ryan. The supporting characters and their relationships added to the overall story. I can’t wait for the next one in this new series. Holly Warren and Robert Hatchet did a great job with the narration.
