Broken Dreams

By: Corinne Michaels

Narrated by: Sebastian York, Kit Swann

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.

Adored this one

This book...just GAH IS DANG GOOD. I don't know what Corinne puts in her books, but it makes me want to IMMEDIATELY devour her back list!!!! SERIOUSLY!

Grady and Addison are both single parents learning to live after they each lost their spouses. I loved how their relationship just grew organically and I absolutely ADORED Jett and Elodie's friendship too.

I may have been on the edge of tears a few times while reading, it was just so touching and heartwarming...I loved this book in its entirety.

WELL DONE, CORINNE!!!

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.

Perfection

Crying funny tears and sad tears. Great story with fantastic narration! Hoping the next book is just as great.

Great Story and My Take on Narration

After reading the first two books in the Whitlock Family series, I can’t wait for book 3! Broken Dreams is a fake dating, single parents, story centering on the relationship between Grady and Addison. Both widowed with young children, I loved and could relate to so many aspects of their romance. Truly a fabulous read!

I found several reviews about narration before I bought the book. There were specific negative comments about the female narration. I’m extremely picky about narration. I have many books I’d love to read as an audiobook, but won’t invest the credit bc of a narrator. That said, I didn’t have any problems with Kit Swann’s performance. Her narration as Addison and other women was exceptional, and I became so lost in the story bc of that. Her narration as men was good, and though her narration as children isn’t her strongest, it wasn’t a deterrent at all.

Well worth the credit!

I LOVED the story, but struggled with the female narrator.

Corrine is my favorite author and I preorder every book. Sebyo was fantastic as always, but Kit Swans voice was very whiny and her kid voices a struggle to listen to. I would probably read the next book instead of listen if she narrates it. I'm sorry to write this, but want to give an honest review.
