About this listen

A marriage of convenience might save his ranch, but will it break her heart?

I don’t remember a time when I didn’t love Rhett Walker, which is complicated since he’s ten years older and my brother’s best friend. After a falling out, we didn’t speak for years—until today, when he found me sleeping in my car, threw me over his shoulder, and dragged me “to safety.”

He’s grumpy and overprotective and even more handsome than I remembered. I’m shocked to learn he’s in trouble. Someone is sabotaging his ranch, which is thirty days from foreclosure. He needs a loan from a friend who won’t extend the funds unless he’s married. Only Rhett’s now a single dad with no plans to fall in love again.

When his brother suggests I marry Rhett for health insurance so I can rehab an injury, my first reaction is hell no. I can’t afford to catch feelings for someone who won’t see me that way.

But spending time at the ranch reminds me how much is at stake—the family business, the welfare of Rhett’s children, and the happiness of a man I’ve always longed for.

Rhett says we’ll keep things platonic in private, even though I’ll be sleeping in his bed. He refuses to mix business with pleasure.

Except when the lights go out in his bedroom, our chemistry is too explosive to contain.

Would it be so bad to fall for Rhett? Or will he steal my heart all over again?

One thing’s for sure—the clock is ticking on our divorce.

Stealing Hearts is an age gap, marriage of convenience, single dad romance. If you enjoy grumpy cowboys, sweet but sassy heroines, a family of rowdy brothers, and secretive small towns, this book is for you!

Overall Thoughts: I love the single-dad sport series, Varsity Dads, by Lex and I really enjoyed this first book in her new small town, single dad, Wild Heart series. This book brings the drama, so if you like your books that don’t seem to stop, then you will want to read/listen to this book. There is a lot of give and take between the characters as there is a lot of baggage from their combined past and separate journeys. I think Vanessa and Sebastian were amazing as Rhett and Paige, and together they made this couple jump off the page (or out of my ear buds??). I will definitely be listening to the rest of this series.

Narration: Dual, first person present tense, dual POV, with some flashbacks/memories

Tropes: small town, single dad, brother’s best friend, cheating (not MMC or FMC), death of a sibling (not on page), OW drama, terrible stepmom, marriage of convenience, down on her luck, cowboy/rancher, financial issues, age gap, betrayal,

Overall: 4
Spice: 3
Humor: 2.5
Drama: 3
Darkness: 1.5
Narration: 5

Paige had a massive crush on her older brother’s best friend, but after a huge falling out she left her small town and never planned to come back until there was no choice. Which I when Rhett finds her sleeping in her car.

Rhett has many regrets, but not listening to Paige, will be one he will never get over. When he finds her sleeping in her car, he hauls her back to his home, which is when his kid brother suggests they get married so that Rhett can secure a loan from a family friend to help save their ranch.

Even though they say they will stay platonic, with Paige spending every night in Rhett’s bed, it’s not long before they cross that line. With a string of bad luck, an one thing after another, these two be able to weather the storm, or will their past be too much for them to be able to secure the future they want.

Sweet small town romance

This was such an emotional and swoony romance. Paige is such a strong woman, she has been through loss, heartache, pain, grief, humiliation and more, but she didn’t let any of that hold her back. She went to college, got her degree, had a job lined up, and then everything fell apart.
Paige never could have anticipated what happened next.
Rhett Walker is her old crush, her brother’s best friend and the one who is giving her an opportunity….
I absolutely love how Rhett’s emotions and desire for Paige take him off guard and make him change his way of thinking and approaching things with her.
They have their bumps and set backs, but the chemistry and passion these two have for each other is infectious. They both unexpectedly fall hard. Paige is amazing with Rhett’s boys, she treats them with care & love, spends time with them and protects them.
These two start out as an unexpected couple, but they soon show why they are perfect for each other.

The narration was phenomenal!

Sweet & Swoony

Stealing Hearts is book one in the Wild at Heart series. Paige was always in love with her brother’s friend, Rhett. She told Rhett that his girlfriend was cheating on him. He didn’t believe her. She left went to college. Now she has to come back home because she got injured and lost her job. When she returned back home she found out that her old room is a dog breeding room. Rhett finds her in her car and makes her an offer. He asks her to marry him for six months. If she marries him it will help save his family’s ranch. This book was cute. I can’t wait to read more in this series.

Vanessa Edwin and Sebastian York did a fantastic job narrating this book.

Second chances. Single dad. Age gap. Brother's best friend. Broody cowboy. This book just pushes all the right buttons. Paige has had a crush on Rhett her whole life. So when he needs a favor, she's all in. Even if it is a fake marriage. Reasons are good, she needs some time to rehab her ankle and she finally gets the chance to be with Rhett. Now all grown up, Rhett is seeing Paige for the beautiful woman she is. She is so good with his sons, easily falls into the family and we won't talk about the other benefits. But there is an end date to the arrangement, and things around the ranch are heating up. Someone is trying to cause problems. Where does it all go? Well first off, this couple...they are so good. Paige is sassy and smart, and she easily adjusts to her new life. Rhett is swoony! He is hesitant until he can't be, and protective of his entire family. I loved this story, it was easy on the ears, and had me enveloped into their life until the very end.

Vanessa Edwin and Sebastian York are so good together as they bring his wonderful story alive. Paige is young but mature and has so much to give. Her sweetness and sarcasm all come to play and Edwin nails every scene. Rhett is protective and manly, from being an amazing dad, to a guardian of his ranch. York knows how to bring the passion out right along with the vigilant protecting. Together, these two could not have been better cast and made this book come to life.

All the best tropes and a swoony book boyfriend!
