About this listen

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.

I really loved the characters - it was a good story with a few twists and turns but not crazy drama. Ash is the loveliest book boyfriend and Phoebe is a sweetheart.

Really enjoyed it

A lot of tropes in this story- grumpy sunshine, age gap, forbidden romance (Phoebe's father is Asher's boss) and forced proximity (when Phoebe becomes Asher's nanny). But it works, probably because the characters are overall so likable, including the other people in the series who I hope to hear more about in the near future. Throw in a fair bit of humor, fun steamy situations, an adorable child (love the inclusion of sign language and also a well balanced "lesson" to readers about how important it is not to judge people when you don't know them) a fantastic reading by Zachary Webber and Desiree Ketchum (I would listen to ZW read anything!!) and I just had so much fun with this audiobook. I am really looking forward to the next book in the series.

great story, amazing narration

I love, love, loved this story. There are so many amazing tropes in this book, age gap, grumpy/sunshine, forbidden romance, forced proximity, small town, but it all worked so well. Asher is just the absolute sweetest once we get past his grumpy exterior, and I just love Phoebe. She was such an amazing character.
The book was sweet and funny, and once Asher and Phoebe got together, it was extra spicy 🥵.
the narrators were fantastic and really brought the story to life.
I can't wait for more books in this series 💙

Amazing

What a heartwarming and touching story! I enjoyed every second of listening to this audiobook. It put me in the best of moods and kept me smiling throughout. Phoebe and Asher may have started as enemies to lovers, and honestly, it's hilarious how that started. But it ended with me totally in love with Asher. He is end goals and how every single man should strive to be. If you are looking for a fun, enjoyable, light-hearted listen, you have just found your next listen! As always, Zachary Webber and Desiree Ketchum stole the show and made me fall in love with these characters. I am so excited to see the rest of the Whitlock family fall in love! Amazing start to this family series!

Such a heartwarming story!

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

Corinne Michaels does it again!!!

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!

A single dad, grumpy-sunshine small-town 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.

Heartwarming Age-Gap Grumpy-Sunshine Romance!

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.

What a difference
