paddlefoot55's review against another edition

ARC received for an honest review
Lauren Blakely has left the best till last with the Hart brothers.
I have been eager for Miles Hart's book since we first met him in Campbell's book, and I was not disappointed.
I mean single dad? Check! (and hot!)
Friends to lovers? Check!
Sexual tension up the wazoo? Check!
Miles and Roxy's story was all kinds of adorable. I just can't with them!
Their's is a bit of a slow burn, I mean they each want the other but fight it - whilst I am on the other side of the kindle screaming at them to go for it!
I cannot lie though. Ben (Miles' son we have met in the previous books) is the real chicken magnet here.
Oh how that boy has stolen my heart!
I loved getting more of the other Hart brothers and their ladies. I love the banter between them all, I love their support and love for each other. Gah, I want to be in their circle of friends.
I am going to miss the Heartbreakers series, and I hope the Ms Blakely comes back to them some time in the future.
Pleeeeeeaaaaasse

As always, Blakely has provided us with another unputdownable and addictive story. I literally sped through this in one sitting, staying up so that I could finish it.
Miles and Roxy were such lovable characters, and the chemistry and connection between them was amazing. The way they act with each other, and the ease of their interactions was just perfect. Not to mention that we also have Ben, who can I just say, is damn adorable!
Whilst not an entirely "conventional" situation (from Roxy's state, not throwing in any spoilers here, you will know when you read this), everything just works so well and clicks for these characters, and I think this will be very relatable for readers. I know there were particular parts where I just thought, Lauren has this spot on!
While Ally and Miller have my number one spot in this series, Miles and Roxy are close behind, and I highly recommend reading this one. All the ease, comfort, sexual tension and humour that we have come to expect from Blakely is present, and I for one am sad to see this series come to and end.

Boring with ridiculous reasoning for lovers not getting together. The H/H were similar and perfect and ever do boring.

Roxy Sterling owns Fluffy & Fabulous animal spa and at 31 is done with trying to find a man to have a baby with. She has had a crush on her brother Williams's best friend for a long time but knows that Miles Hart is not the man for her.
Miles Hart is a single dad to Ben and a rockstar who has recently reunited with his brothers to get the Heartbreakers back together. When Miles requires a "date" to his high school reunion he asks Roxy to go with him to ward off the crazies.
As Roxy and Miles begin to spend more time together they both realize how much they care about each other but as they start off with "friends with benefits" will either have the courage to ask for more before it's too late?
This was such a great book filled with so many laughs and great moments!
I thought Roxy was a great character and I loved that she owned an animal spa! I also really give her credit for knowing she wanted to be a mom and doing it herself. I do admire that! I did think it was awesome how turned on she kept getting around Miles and how she tried to keep her hormones in check.
Miles was awesome which I wasn't surprised about after the previous books with his brothers. I loved when he got his "frustrations" out after the reunion with the memory of Roxy. I also really liked when he finally made his move on Roxy after another plus-one date!
I thought Ben was awesome and I loved when he took a tour of Roxy's new place and his comments!
I was so sad when things took a twist that I was not expecting but I loved how Miles fixed it all!!

I have really loved these Hartbreakers, but Miles just might be my favorite! He is like swoony to the max. He is an amazing father and such a sweet man I just adore him. Roxy is such a strong woman who knows what she wants in life and will do what it takes to make it work. I obviously adore Miles with Ben, but Roxy is fantastic with him too. I love the bond that she and Ben have. They make such a family so quickly and with ease. I really liked seeing their relationship slowy heat up and then combust. I really enjoyed their story and just flew through it. This was just such a fun series all around.

Lauren Blakely saved the best for last with Once Upon a Wild Fling! I absolutely loved Miles and Roxy's story! It was sweet, flirty, sexy, and adorkably fun! Even though these characters were introduced in the previous books in this series, it can certainly be enjoyed as a standalone.
One thing I love about the Heartbreakers series is that the characters are a little older and more mature. They've already lived through some of life's ups and downs and have come out stronger (though somewhat scarred) from their battles. The characters know what they want and there isn't any unnecessary drama or back and forth. Once Upon a Wild Fling was part friends to lovers, brother's little sister taboo, and single parent romance. Miles and Roxy had amazing chemistry and I loved how devoted they both were to their families and friends. I loved their sexy banter and innuendo and how their attraction was always simmering under the surface. Ben was absolutely adorable and I have to say stole the show any time he was on the page. There is some angst, but it's understandable considering the baggage and history that Miles and Roxy have when it comes to relationships. I loved that the drama wasn't overblown though and that both recognized their errors and worked quickly to make their intentions clear. The epilogue was incredibly sweet and was a wonderful ending for this blended family. I wouldn't mind an extended epilogue further down the road though with updates on all of the Hart siblings. ;)
Once Upon a Wild Fling is a light and feel good rom com that you're sure to love!

The audiobook of Once Upon a Wild Fling is amazing! Sebastian York and Andi Arndt bring Miles and Roxy to life so well. They were the perfect duo for the Heartbreakers series and I loved experiencing each of these stories in audio. I also loved that the text messages were read almost like the 2 were doing duet style narration. Their voices mesh seamlessly! The bonus novella Little Big Rock performed by 4 (YES, 4 narrators) in the duet style was fantastic! Each character had their own voice and you really can't get better than hearing Sebastian York, Andi Arndt, Joe Arden, and Erin Mallon all together. I really enjoyed the Unzipped teaser as well and can't wait for that one!

This is a sweet, sexy, romantic friends-to-lovers story with a little twist. It brings back his brothers Campbell and Miller, Mackenzie, Ally, and their combined kids.

I love the main character, the fact she owns her own business and that she is pregnant. And the guy as a single dad is nice too.
