Oh, my heart, I want all the Hart's in my life! Once Upon A Wild Fling was so good, it was unputadownable, I want to start over and read The Heartbreakers from the very beginning again kind of good!

Lauren Blakely wrote a fantastic series that is filled with hot men, focused on family, and full of fun. Each Hart brother is perfect in his own way and it's hard to choose my favorite, but Once Upon a Wild Fling is about the youngest brother, Miles Hart, so let's talk about this hot, single dad,  rockstar.

Miles has had a great solo artist career once his brothers disbanded their brotherly teenage band of The Heartbreakers. Traveling around the world with his young son in tow, Miles has had quite the life, but when his brothers decide to begin singing together again and with his son beginning school, it seemed like the perfect time to stop touring and settle in one spot for awhile. Plus the view of one particular redhead makes it that much easier to enjoy his new home.

Roxy Sterling is best friends with Campbell's new fiancee, plus she's the sister of Miles business manager, plus there the small detail that Miles has no interest in getting involved with any woman since he was burned, actually make that badly burned, by the woman who ran so fast after his son was born that Miles is still recovering from the skidmarks of that relationship. So why is Roxy saying YES every time Miles asks to spend time with him? Why is she allowing herself to feel more than she should for a man who has made it clear he won't take things further? Why hasn't she told him her big secret that would send him making his own burn pattern right out the door? Maybe life is just one crazy wild fling and things have a way of working out.

Miles and Roxy are fun, easy, and just plain enjoyable to read. I couldn't help encouraging them every step of the way. If you want a series that will just make you feel good, pick up The Heartbreakers today.

And it happened! The last of the brothers found the one! I am happy for him but then I am sad as I am not ready to let them go! I really loved this series!

What I love about this part is not the sexy and the flirty. But the fact that Miles adores his son. And tries to do the best for him. He loves him and I love him for that. Lauren shows here how important it is to be present in your child’s life.

But I also love Roxy. She loves them both and is ready to tear anyone apart that will mess with them. Her and Miles from being friends to lovers to a couple was not easy but it was an instant attraction story. But I loved every second of it.

Can I have more please?

can be read/listen as a stand-alone but do yourself a favour and picked other parts too!!

I could not wait for Miles' story and it did not disappoint! Lauren Blakely again has written a story with warmth, humor and a lot of flirty banter, and it made me smile all the way through. Miles agreed to play at his reunion years ago, and now with his fame is looking for a date to circumvent and potential groupies. Who better to ask to be his plus one, but his manager's sister? The chemistry between these two is combustible and the more they go out as plus ones the more heated it gets. The problem though is Miles is a single dad, so as his relationship with Roxy goes on, he has to take into consideration the feelings his son Ben has for her too! These characters are so well written, it's like I know them! Miles and Roxy are perfect together, the feelings we listen to are ones we have experienced in life and it's like Blakely is relaying a story of our friends to us. The bonus of Ben and his sweet innocence is intoxicating. Then throwing in Campbell and Miller and it's like old home week! This is the perfect ending to a series I have fallen in love with . The two additional previews just whet the appetite for what Blakely has in store for us! I can't wait!

We could not have had a better narration then the team of Sebastian York and Andi Arndt. I love the consistency these two have with their characters, not even mentioning the talented use of the many voices they both have. They bring this family out with all the feels and give us the listeners candy to our ears.

The third installment of The Hearbreakers series by Lauren Blakely is sweet, sexy, and sensationally HOT! Miles Hart is the youngest brother of The Heartbreakers, former teen-rock band. Miles moves back to New York permanently to join his brothers when they decide to reunite. Ben is Miles’ 6-yr old son from a failed relationship. Ben totally stole my heart at how sweet and funny he is. My favorite line is when Ben tells his dad that he (Miles) is a “chicken” magnet. The words that come out of a 6yr old. Roxy is woman who has decided that she is not good at love and is going to go into motherhood on her own via a sperm bank. Roxy is a smart, funny, and beautiful redhead. When Miles asks Roxy to be his “bodyguard” at his high school reunion to protect him from unwanted advances. Roxy and Miles slowly begin to spend more time together and fall for each other. Will they go for the forever love or let past relationships dictate their future? No spoilers here...read for yourself to get the answers. I totally love these characters. The banter, flirty-ness, and dirty talk is fun and completely entertaining. Another fantastic and fun read from Lauren Blakely. I totally loved the entire series and highly recommend Once Upon a Wild Fling. I found myself not being able to put it down because I really like it when the characters do the most talking and the dual POV. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review..

Pretty cute and Miles and Roxy were equally adorable.

Once Upon a Wild Fling is the third and last book of the Heartbreakers series. In it, you will meet Miles who is a single dad. You will also meet Roxy who is pregnant by a sperm donor. I honestly loved Roxy from the moment we met her. Plus the whole decision to go pregnant on her own was very bold of her. She knew what she wanted and she went for it. Just sucks that during the pregnancy she fell for Miles.

Luckily for her, he fell as well. Again, these two were simply adorable - just like the whole series was. Yet, I feel like I was missing all my smuttyness. Ugh, I wanted so much more because what little I got was really good.

Overall, need more smut STAT.

5++++ stars!!

Swooooon! These Heartbreaker men have totally taken over my heart!! Once Upon a Wild Fling is every bit the sweet, sexy, warm, fun, smile inducing romance we've come to expect from Lauren Blakely. I seriously am so in love with these books. They're just really great feel good stories I can't get enough of.

Miles is total dream man material. It feels like Lauren Blakely wandered into my mind, picked out all the qualities I find attractive in a hero and gave them to the youngest Heartbreaker. With his musicality, his good guy persona and his raw sex appeal, I had no choice but to fall for Miles Hart. Every book in this series features a parent/guardian and child relationship that melts the heart but I have to say the bond in Once Upon a Wild Fling is my favorite. Miles and his little adorable boy, Ben, are so freaking cute. They're the perfect little team.

Roxy is equally as impressive as Miles. We first met her in Once Upon a Real Good Time. From there on I knew I was going to love her. She's so independent, strong and fun. I love that she goes after her dreams even if it means she does it on her own. My favorite thing about her is the relationship she has with Miles's son Ben. She cares and loves him so genuinely. It's the sweetest thing.

I ADORED Miles and Roxy and their unbelievably wonderful chemistry. They compliment each other so well. The flirting was on point. Lauren Blakely did a fantastic job building the connection. Because their relationship was a bit forbidden - with her being his buddy/financial advisor's sister plus, a certain decision Roxy made before they began their "plus one" partnership - it made their journey so much more addicting. I don't want to spoil anything but I want to say, the way Miles cares for Roxy and supports her decision is so incredibly swoony.

These Heartbreaker books are everything!! EVERYTHING!! I don't think I could recommend these books enough. Lauren Blakely has outdone herself. I can confidently say all three of the books are top favorite reads of 2018.
