Wildest Dreams

An Enemies to Lovers Romance (Forbidden Love, Book 2)

De: L.J. Shen

Narrado por: Teddy Hamilton, Savannah Peachwood

He’ll protect his best friend’s baby sister from anything…other than himself.

Rhyland

Dylan Casablancas is a forbidden fruit,

Undeniably delicious, but one bite just might kill you.

She’s my best friend’s baby sister, a single mom, and a royal pain in the ass.

When Little Miss Baggage moves downstairs to house-sit her brother’s Manhattan apartment, my potential business partner mistakes us as a couple.

He wants a family guy.

I want access to his billions.

And Dylan?

She needs a big, burly guy to scare off her loser ex.

Pretending to be engaged to the feisty girl next door gets messy when I take a bite of the illicit apple.

What can I say? I’m an instant gratification kind of guy.

We made a deal to walk out of each other’s lives once my contract is signed.

The only problem?

She might take my heart with her when she leaves.

Dylan

Rhyland Coltridge is out of the question.

Unless the answer is: “Who’s the biggest man-whore you’ve ever met?”

Hedonistic. Wild card. Utterly corrupt.

And those are just the traits the jerk prides himself on.

My life is too messy for a boyfriend. Even if it wasn’t, Rhyland would be the last man I’d consider.

He is supposed to be my ticket out of this nightmare.

But he’s fast becoming my wildest, most dangerous dream.

Author’s note: this is an enemies-to-lovers, fake engagement standalone with an alpha hero and a feisty heroine. Please check trigger warnings before listening.

Everyone has a perfect match

This was a fun and spicy read. LOVED ever minute of it! Up next… Tate and I assume his PA.

Love love love

Loved this book and the roller coaster of emotions it puts you through. At first Rhyland wasn’t my favorite. I thought he was mean to Dylan. As I kept reading he grew on me. This book was hard to put down. 10 out of 10 a must read.

Wow!

This story did not disappoint. All the ups and downs. It was absolutely amazing. As always, Teddy Hamilton knocked the MMC roll out of the park.

A must listen

Love the storyline and the narrators! Can’t go wrong with Teddy Hamilton. Love how they brought back the characters from the previous book

Love all the tropes

Good series, good tropes, good characters and story line. This is Dylan and Rhylan's story which obviously are characters from the first book in the series. Dylan is Ro's sister and Cal's best friend, Rhylan is Ro's best friend (there's the first trope BF Sister).
Dylan and her daughter Gravity move to NY to basically "house sit" for Ro and Cal. She needed to get out of their small town so they asked if she could house sit for them. What they didn't tell her was that Rhylan lived upstairs in the penthouse. After the accidental run in on Dylan's arrival to NY one of Rhylan's potential business investors assumed they were a couple and having a little argument in front of their building. Since Rhy needs that investment he convinces Dylan to keep up the lie and be his fake fiance, she agrees at an insane rate of compensation but he knows it will be worth it in the end because of the money he stands to make. There are a few flashbacks to them being younger and where you understand there is a little bit of history other than bf sister. They banter back/forth with each other and start to grow on each other all over again and as they continue to pretend they both realize there is no pretending they are actually into each other. They agree they could hook up but continue to pretend to be engaged and hide it from her brother and their friends.
Worth the read, especially if you've already read book 1.

I’m a sucker for fake dating!

I ate this book up! Pretty sure it my favorite book by LJ Shen so far! The angst! The banter! It’s funny, spicy, and had me hooked

Duet narration for the win

The journey these 2 made just filled me up so much after a slew of 3 star books. This took me completely by surprise and was only made better by 2 of my favorite narrators. 5 stars

First 6 star read of the year

Loved love LOVED this from the very beginning to the end! I laughed out loud, I brought out my ruler, I bugged my eyes out.. oh boy. This was amazing. Will be listening to this again! The narrators are my favorites, and they did this story justice! Loved it all!!

Dyl & Rhy😍

Dylan and Rhy broke me in the best way and put me back together

Rhyland’s Love Story

Wildest Dreams by L.J. Shen had me addicted to find out what would happen between Rhyland and Dylan. I loved seeing how these two characters grew throughout the book. Both of them were damaged and to see how they healed together. I can’t forget about Gravity. The way Rhyland and her but a relationship was just amazing. If you love romance, spice, drama, relationship growth and healing this book is for you. I highly recommend this book.
