About this listen

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.

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!!!

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.

A first for Corrine and for me :)

🎧 Narration: i finished my arc & immediately had to listen to the audio after i heard a clip. it did not disappoint. sebastian york was absolutely perfect for grady. he was gruff but soft & he did an excellent job with the stern vibes during the spicy scenes 🔥 kit swann did a really nice job as addison. she did such a great voice for grady & the kids. overall the audio enhanced the book & i would recommend the audio.

oh gosh this one was a heart wrenching story premise but corinne (per usual) wrote it so well i felt so satisfied & happy with grady & addison’s love story. bonding over tragedy brought the two together & wanting to accomplish moving into the next step of their lives has the two hatching a fake dating plan that is supposed to be straight forward & easy. but these two just had too much chemistry for it to go according to plan 🤣 instead they slowly & deliciously go from friends to lovers to falling in love 😍. i adored this story & cannot wait for more visits to sugarloaf.

small town + single guardian + love after loss

This one was really steamy! Storyline was good! I never pass up an opportunity to listen to Sebastian York narrate! If his name is in it I’m listening. The female narrator was also great. I don’t think I have listened to her before. I enjoyed this second book in the series!

Great book

I don't like Kit Swann's male voice, and her imitation of children is annoying as well. Otherwise, it's a great listen. It's sexy, and also manages to be funny and thoughtful. Sebastian York is always a great narrator.

I love how the story captures your attention right away. I especially love the added scene at the end of the book.

Another good story by this author. I haven't listened to one yet that I didn't enjoy. This one was no different. I did grt a little frustrated with the MMC and wanted to smack him upside the head and tell him to get over himself...but that's half the fun of these books is watching how the MCs evolve and finally come around. Performance was excellent. These two are some of my favorite narrators.

Loved it!

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!

Great Story and My Take on Narration

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.

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