Summary
I had a perfect life. Schoolteacher. Married to my high school sweetheart. Little starter house that we called charming but was really just old. All I needed was the 2.5 kids, and I’d be living my perfect dream. Then my husband died.
After the funeral, I had a breakdown that lasted for a month...or 12. But now I’m reemerging, healing, finding my way. It’s time to learn who I am now and whether or not I can fix a leaky sink. And by my side, the entire time, is my husband’s best friend, Liam. The single dad knows a thing or two about personal struggles and about how to replace faucets.
With Liam, I feel alive again. Confident. Capable. Liam has become my best friend, too. Except if my parents, my in-laws, and the rest of the town had any say, I’d stay far away from him and his bad-boy reputation.
How do I admit to them what’s so hard to admit to myself? That I’m starting to look at him like he’s more than a friend. That the heat in his eyes when he looks at me is far beyond friendly. That like it or not, Liam makes me feel whole again.

Heartfelt & Beautiful!
‘Make Me Whole’ is book 1 in the ‘Oil Barrons’ series and is a standalone. As the synopsis of the book states, this book follows best friends Liam and Kennedy on their journey from grieving friends-to-lovers.
Kennedy having struggled after losing her husband is finally ready to start slowly coming out of that shell and getting active back in society. Liam having helped her throughout the grieving process, as well as, also grieving himself (he was best friends with Kennedy’s husband) is there as a shoulder for her to lean on. Whilst all this is happening, we see their journey turn romantic.
I loved the storyline in this book. Both characters were endearing as well as complex. I loved how we saw Liam being there for Kennedy both as a platonic friend and then later as a romantic partner. Speaking of which, I loved how we saw them being very close friends at first, and then saw how and why their friendship developed into more. Everything about that journey was believable. This book also dealt with some heavier topics including grief, and I loved how it was handled.
I also felt that the pacing of this book was great. Everything seemed to flow well.
Some of the other side characters were very annoying though; most notably her in-laws and Liam’s father (and the people who shun Liam due to his father’s influence), but I suppose that was the author’s intention. So I guess, mission accomplished in that regard.
I listened to this book via audio and enjoyed every moment. Narrated by Lee Daniels and Tyler Darby, it was very easy to listen and get really into the story. Both narrators did a wonderful job. I really felt the emotions with this one, especially due to some of the harder topics explored within this book.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it, especially the audiobook version.
I was provided a free audio copy of this book. However, all opinions shared are my honest thoughts about this book.
