The Heartbreakers are great

Another fantastic audio and I again have to thank Lauren Blakely, Sebastian York and Andi Arndt for their efforts. This dynamic trio really knows how to satisfy my romantic heart. The pacing is perfect, the characters are awesome and the storyline kept me entertained from start to finish.

Can best friends eventually fall in love? Well, in this case, they can. What made this one believable was that there was an initial attraction from the very beginning between the characters. To me, this is more believable because I find it hard to believe you can all of a sudden find someone you've known for years attractive. It makes sense to be attracted to someone but at that initial time, not be in the right place or mindframe to be in a relationship. These two seemed to realise at the same time that NOW was their perfect time.

I love the dynamics of the brothers finding love and helping each other through the highs and lows of connecting with your one. It's also awesome that the children in these stories are part of it all, not just an extra bit hovering on the sidelines. I will definitely be going on in the series because I love Lauren Blakely's style of writing.

I love a good "friends to lovers" romance and Lauren Blakely's Once Upon A Sure Thing delivered with a hot, sexy, realistic story about Miller and Ally. Two best buds who awaken something when they sing together. Music is passion. Am I right? Grab some wine and your headphones....

This is the second audiobook in the Heartbreakers series, featuring the Campbell brothers, all members of a popular boys band before it was disbanded. While you won't want to miss a single swoon-worthy moment or giggle these work as standalone.

Miller is a Campbell a former teen heartthrob and member of the Heartbreakers band. He misses singing in a group and decides to perform with a female partner. He listens to demos and imagine his surprise when the perfect voice a Miss Honey Lavender ends up being his best friend of six years, Ally.

Ally is a vocalist, she performs audiobooks, ads etc and submits song auditions. She has been playing safe, since she accepted guardianship of her niece. I loved Ally and immediately wanted her to have a happily ever after.

When they begin working on their songs in the studio the chemistry is OFF THE CHARTS, but will they risk their friendship for a chance at more. I adored their back and forth banter. Blakely is the queen of feel good romances and lovable characters. Miller is super sexy, a dirty talker and their move towards a romantic relationship was both hot and slow-burning.

We see character growth and a finding of oneself as Ally decides to be herself and Miller begins to think he can be a long-term relationship kind of guy. There were even a couple of tear-jerker minute, but I trusted Blakely. The ending and epilogue(s) left me smiling and anxious to begin Miles' story.

This story is narrated by Sebastian York and Andi Arndt. The two work really well together and I loved the duel narrative. We also get a surprise cameo from Erin Mallon. It was clever and perfect. This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Reviewer
