Publisher's summary

From USA Today best-selling author Nikki Ash comes an emotional romance about finding love after loss....

Aubree:

After losing my husband, life was all about taking care of my kids and trying to remain afloat.

Brody and Hayden crashed into my life with the force of an entire ocean.

Five years is a long time to be alone.

Now, I have not one, but two sexy and successful men to drown in. But can I handle the desires, passions, and love they both deserve? Plus, two men means double the heartache. And my heart? It's already mended haphazardly, cracked in multiple places from my loss.

Falling for them could be a disaster. Choosing between them would be impossible. But the heart wants what it wants. And despite my better judgment, I want them both.

Oh, and did I mention that they're best friends—and want to share me?

Things just got a lot more complicated....

Families Are Built With Love, Not Always Blood

This story draws you in immediately with deep and abiding love and heartbreak. What a way for the FMC (Aubrey) to become someone you would want to know and befriend.
The two MMCs (Brody and Hayden) have been friends for years, roommates, and each other’s family. Aubrey and her children become a part of Brody and Hayden’s family, but not without open minds, open hearts, and willingness to build a family of their own choosing.
As in all books, conflicts and battles occur with sacrifice and pain, revealing only with open community can problems be solve.
Enjoyed the narration giving life to the characters.

MFM single mom romance

I’m not too big into insta-love but I really enjoyed this book. It was cute and heart-warming, and just a great pick-me-up read. This is a MFM curvy, single mom romance (with mild mm) I loved Nikki’s world building and writing style!

Teddy, Corvin, and Kelsey did a great job on the narration. They really brought the story to life

Way too much

This story was just too much. Too over the top with the MFM and the fact that all they ever wanted to do was each other constantly. And bringing kids into their dynamic idk I just couldn’t get into it. I only finished the book bcuz I don’t like to waste credits

What the heart wants

okay this was another wonderful story by Nikki Ash, the beginning was so heartbreaking, man I cried my eyes out but as the story goes on it does pick up. and for a minute there they also hit a ruff patch. but when a women is Determined to find out the truth. There's nothing she would do to get it. this book has a bit of everything lost, old love, new love, heartache, secrets, and so much more. you will fall in love with this story. I promise you that.

Love Aubree, Brody, and Hayden

I listened to this story in one day! This might be my favorite Nikki Ash pairing!! Nikki Ash did an amazing job with each character. Teddy Hamilton, Kelsey Navarro, and Corvin King were the perfect narrators for this story. Each emotion was felt throughout this story, and each voice matched the character. When Aubree starts to date again she not only date one guy but two. Then she finds out they are best friends and are open to a polygamous relationship. They face different challenges, but always overcome them. On to the next Nikki Ash book!

Hearts Coffee and Everything Sweet

Everything about this book was chefs kiss. I am a huge fan of Nikki Ash’s writing and have been so sad that I haven’t had the chance to sit down and read this book since release day. Life has been busy so finally snagging the audible version gave me the opportunity to finally fall in love with Aubree “Bree”, Hayden, and Brody.

Their story is so sweet even though there’s a little bit of heartbreak at the beginning, but it wouldn’t be a Nikki book if it didn’t make your heart ache for just a smidge of the book. Aubree begins the book with a little heartbreak and grief of her own, one of the worst kinds, but we meet Hayden by chapter 2, when he comes to Bree’s coffee shop with an ulterior motive, that is until he sees her and loses his ability to talk. Lol. He asks her on a date and she says no because she’s not ready yet, however, her best friend Lacey challenges her to say yes to the next man, who just so happens to be Brody, who is best friends and roommates with Hayden. Needless to say, things get a little dicey, but who said we have to choose? So Bree winds up with both and the love that they show her is so beautiful. Bree is a thicker female character and Nikki does justice to representing her and the everyday insecurities. Ultimately they get a happy ending and oh boy do they even dote on her children while making everyone of her dreams and fantasies come true. Would totally recommend giving this book a listen and maybe even going to physically read it as well. Thank you Pink Flamingo Productions for the download and for producing this audiobook so beautifully.

Amazing listen!

Loved all three narrators and the way they brought the story and characters to life! I was completely sucked in and couldn't stop listening.

Kinda cute, very OTT

The beginning was really sad. After she met the guys, it was, honestly, too dramatic of an instalove and insta-commitment for my taste, but you just gotta go with it, I guess.
I’ve also never complained about a book having too many spicy scenes, so I’m not going to complain about that, BUT I will say that so many of them were just completely inappropriate as far as timing or location went.
The scenes between the two men weren’t particularly realistic either if Hayden is 100% straight.
I was a little confused by the ending too, after the big melodrama event, but I may have been starting to tune out a bit by then?
I did love the supportive in-laws that Brie had and the supportive step-mother and father. That was a nice touch.

Fantastic heart wrenching story!

I loved reading this story the first time, it had me hooked in the prologue. Listening to it was even better! Great story, great author and great narrators!!

💗

Having listened to Ms.Ash's work many times before I've been wanting to get into even more audiobooks of hers. From the moment this one was announced it became an instant anticipated listen of mine. This audiobook pulled me right in. I really enjoyed this listen so very much!
