Audiobook Review: Dirty Secret Love (Heartwood Lake Secret Billionaires #2) by Claudia Burgoa

 

Blurb: 

From USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa comes an angsty, fake-fiance, opposites attract, secret billionaire romance.

What do you do when you’re tired of being the loser?

You make up the perfect fiancé, of course.

I know it sounds desperate, but hear me out.

In my family, everyone is someone.

But me? I’m just a small-town librarian with no prospects and no future.

At every family reunion, my older sister reminds me of that fact.

So when she announced her own upcoming nuptials, I knew I had to act fast. I needed a fake fiancé to bring to the wedding and prove that I was happy and successful too.

Enter River Kershaw, the town playboy.

My bestie Wren suggested him, and I was hesitant at first.

He's the complete opposite of me: a charming extrovert.

But I can't deny that he's tall, strong, and hot.

I know it's a risk, but I'm determined to show my family that I'm just as happy and in love as they are. Even if that means pretending to be with someone who's totally not my type.

I'm ready to give the performance of a lifetime.

Dirty Secret Love is the second book in the Heartwood Lake Secret Billionaire Series—an emotional rollercoaster of a journey that combines the intense drama of Succession and the hilarity of Schitt's Creek. A must-read.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

I really enjoyed this story. Sutton tried to keep her mother away and happy, so she created an imaginary fiancé. Fate laughed at her, and she had to find someone to actually stand beside her and play the part. By process of elimination, River was the one she approached. I loved how he was quite willing to stand by her, protect her, and determined to actually catch her. River had a reputation, but he was still sweet and did not quite live up to that reputation. This story had me from the start and kept me going to the end.

The narration by Aaron Shedlock and Stephanie Nemeth-Parker added so much more to the story. The emotions came through as well as the banter between Sutton and River. I enjoyed listening to both of them.

This is my unsolicited review.
