Summary

In New York Times bestselling author Ruth Cardello’s sexy and emotional romance, a billionaire dares to invest in the riskiest proposition of his life: a second chance at love.

Single mom Heather Ellis would do anything for her adopted daughter, Ava. Even post an online reward for anyone who found the girl’s lost stuffed animal. Who’d have guessed it’d be returned by a drop-dead-sexy man with such sadness in his eyes that she had to reach out to him? To Ava, he’s a hero. To Heather, he’s a fantasy that puts at risk the happy life she’s made for herself.

It’s been five years since billionaire developer Sebastian Romano lost his wife and unborn child in a tragic accident. Now he’s all business. No room for emotion. Until he stumbles across that damn stuffed wolf and the beautiful single mother looking for it. Is he ready to give love a second chance?

But there’s more to Sebastian, his family, and his past than Heather knows. More than even Sebastian knows. Will the life they’re building together be challenged when the truth is finally revealed?

just ok

Narration was alright. Pleasant.

I liked that the story wasn't full of angst.
It was a nice aperitif to what I had listened to previously.
It didn't grab me to want to continue the series, nor did the family tree arc.
The relationship seemed fast without any real substance to the weighty issues.
The family tree arc is a) disjointed and b) forgets Judy is only about 11 in the epilogue. {not a spoiler}

🎧 Heather and Sebastian 🎧

Average narration of an average story about average characters in 1st person POV. Bookended by a 3rd person POV side story that obviously arcs throughout the series. Neither grabbed my interest enough to continue listening.
