Summary

First rule of being a nanny? Don’t fall for the single dad, even if he is smoking hot.

But that’s exactly what happens when grumpy small-town sheriff Asher Whitlock reluctantly hires me to take care of his daughter for the summer. Neither of us is thrilled with the arrangement, but he’s desperate for help, and I need the money for grad school this fall.

All we need to do is keep our distance and remain professional. Turns out, that’s easier said than done.

Instead of focusing on my future, all I see is the strong jawline, crystal-blue eyes, and rock-hard body right in front of me. We try to resist each other, but we end up crossing every line until I’m in his bed.

I tell myself it’s just this once.

Okay, twice.

All right, every night.

But it’s got to end–he’s 14 years older than me, with a kid and a stressful job. Have I mentioned my dad is his boss? Then, there’s the past I’m trying to forget. Secrets aren’t easy to keep, and mine are getting too big to hide.

Walking away is never simple, but when I do, I can’t look back.

Even if it means leaving behind the man I was never meant to love.

Corinne Michaels does it again!!!

What a audiobook, I loved every single chapter, character and narration.
This is Asher & Phoebes story and it starts with a bang.
Asher is a single dad who's daughter is deaf, the whole family learn to sign as soon as they find out the little girl is deaf. I've loved people being deaf brought into the story, all three books in the story mention this and its refreshing to hear the trials for deaf children and their families, its handled very well indeed, but does show the tribulations with the world outside.
Phoebe is the new nanny and although she can sign she has never been a nanny before much to Ashers distrust, however Phoebe is spectacular with his daughter which he sees straight away, Both can't keep their distance (oh yes) although they try!! its a great age gap story where Asher is 14 years older than Phoebe, he's the town Sheriff......need I say more!!
I will re listen to this story as it has all the feel good factors its especially hot as hell.
The narration is superb, I mean you can't go wrong listening to Zachary Webber and Desiree Ketchum they make the best music together every single time.
Loved this story so much, these are the first books i've listened to by this author and it won't be my last, I'm already looking into her back log catalogue, as once you start these stories you need so much more.
Get it you will not regret it, I purchased this audiobook with a purchased credit and I'd do it again!!
Just jealous that you my dear friends get to start it for the fist time, your in for a treat xx

What a difference

This book didn’t feel like a Corinne Michaels book. I had just listened to another series of hers narrated by Shane East and Sophie Eastlake. What a difference there didn’t seem to be the same depth of feeling and joy. Not sure if it was the different narration (which was still very good) or was the writing different. Anyway still enjoyable but not as much as her other series.

This book was beautiful!
Phoebe is so sweet and caring. Mr.Grumpy him self, took a while to grow on me, but in the end I just loved him too.
Olivia is just❤️
Narrations are GOLD! 2 of my favourites and they did a splendid jobb.
Lots of twists in this book, that made it very exiting to read on. Hard to put down. Some fun moments too and fun bantering. Many nice side caracters. Will definately relisten and wait for more books from this family❤️

Phoebe & Asher's Story ❤

I love this audiobook so much! Listened to it when it released, but somehow forgot to leave a review. I have just listened to it all again, and it is just as wonderful as the first time, even though I know what's going to happen.
I'm sure it will be a book I return to a few more times, and I'm very excited for the rest of this series!
I also love how Corinne has woven in characters from previous book series too. Always a lovely touch when authors do that.
Brilliant narration from both narrators, who really brought the characters to life. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Heartwarming Age-Gap Grumpy-Sunshine Romance!

This is the first book in the Whitlock Family Series, a small town family series. Asher and Phoebe's story is beautifully written, engaging, and heartwarming. They are opposites attract. Asher, a grumpy single dad, and the small town sheriff, is older, very handsome, and protective. Phoebe is beautiful, sweet, sunshine, caring, and smart. Her Dad is Asher's boss. Asher's daughter Olivia/Liv is adorable! I liked the banter, and the humor in the story. This is an excellent age-gap and forbidden romance. Zachary Webber and Desiree Ketchum did an outstanding job bringing this story to life. They are perfect as Asher and Phoebe. The audio quality is perfect. I highly recommend it. Looking forward to listening to more in the series.

My heart has burst ♥️

Let’s start off by saying I could listen to this all the time and never get tired of it! The emotions were absolute perfection and made me enjoy the story all the more because I could actually feel it all in my soul.

Asher’s fury had me nearly sobbing and his inner dialogue when trying to not admit he wanted Phoebe had me smiling so much my cheeks hurt; add in Phoebe’s banter that had me laughing, but then her heartache that had me an emotional mess - so trust me when I say this book was amazingly performed with all the emotion.

So if it’s your first time reading this book or you’ve read it already but want to check out the audio, I would 100% recommend because it was faultless for me ♥️

A single dad, grumpy-sunshine small-town romance

Forbidden Hearts by Corinne Michaels is a single dad romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Zachary Webber and Desiree Ketchum. This is the first book in the Whitlock Family series.

This is the first book of Corinne's that I have read, and it definitely won't be my last. She did a great job pulling me in from the first chapter. I loved the relationship that bloomed between Asher and Phoebe.

I can't wait for the next book in the series Broken Dreams to be released on December 1, 2023, so I can get Grady and Addison's story.

Zachary and Desiree did an amazing job on the narration. They both really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would highly recommend this book if you like single dad romances, age gap romances, nanny romances, grumpy-sunshine romances, small town romances, or contemporary romances. Honestly if you are a romance reader then you should pick up this book!
