Synopsis
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 fourteen 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.

Review
I was lucky enough to get an ALC of Forbidden Hearts, and I am so glad I did! This book was so wonderful.
Now single dad is not always my favorite, but pair it with enemies to lovers, Age gap, grumpy sunshine, wonderful character, and a good amount of steam. There is so much to love about this book. Olivia, Asher’s daughter, was adorable, and her relationship with Phoebe was so cute. I loved their little moments together.
Phoebe is a great character. She was so strong. I loved how she stood up to Asher, as did he. I don’t want to spoil anything, but this book surprised me in many wonderful ways!
The dirty talk in the book! It was fantastic and sounded even better coming from Desiree Ketchum and Zachary Webber. What doesn’t sound good coming from them, especially Zachary Webber? Forbidden Hearts was a wonderful audiobook.
