About this item

He’s a billionaire in need of a wife …

And I’m his ex who can’t say no to him.

Ten years ago Carson Knight was my one great love, but he abandoned me without a trace.

Now he’s a billionaire single-dad in need of a temporary wife.

And he’s at my house on one knee with a proposal …

Marry him, so he’s more likely to win full custody of his daughter, keeping her safe from her unstable mother. In return, he’ll take care of the medical expenses for a surgery my father needs to survive.

Reluctantly, I agree to tie the knot, on one condition. Once those custody papers are signed, we go our separate ways. Because he’s even more gorgeous, charming, and sweeter than he was back then, and I don’t trust myself not to fall for my fake husband.

Especially when I hear him say “my wife.”

Or feel his hands on my skin. Taste his kiss or see the way he looks at me with those blue eyes and know that our carefully crafted rules will shatter.

Right alongside my heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars The feel good romance of the year!!
Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2024
“Crew stole my heart years ago, and I never was the same after. A piece of it always belonged to him, and instead of just letting him keep that piece, he put it back and stole the whole damn thing again.”

Corinne has done it again! I couldn’t think of a more perfect ending to the Whitlock Family series than this book. Forgotten Desires has become my new favorite of the series. It had everything that I love about Corinne’s books and yet so much more. Not to mention, it had all of my favorite tropes…second chance, single dad, small town, and marriage of convenience. There’s nothing like having a book packed with all of your favorite tropes.

Since reading Tempting Promises, I was so excited Brynn and Crew’s story. I was also curious to find what had happened between them years ago and what had caused their separation. Seeing these characters come back together and deal with the family drama made this book unputdownable. I loved that chemistry between these characters. Just seeing the way Crew cared for Brynn and his daughter just made my heart melt. I mean what’s more sexier than a cinnamon roll hero that’s also a single dad! Then there’s the things that he would do for Brynn such as buying the house where they had first met. Now that’s what I call a swoon worthy hero! I also loved revisiting with the previous couples in this series. Some of my favorite moments would’ve to be the moments between the Whitlock siblings. Even though it was sad to say goodbye to the Whitlock family and the town of Sugarloaf, I don’t think that I could’ve asked for a more perfect conclusion to this series.

Forgotten Desires is the feel good romance of the year that you won’t want to miss. If you’re an audiobook lover like me, I would highly recommend listening to the audiobook. The narration from Teddy Hamilton and Stella Hunter was so good! They really brought these characters to life and made this book even more enjoyable. So, do yourself a favor and make sure to pick up this highly addictive and emotional series!

4.0 out of 5 stars A great conclusion to a fun series
Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2024
Billionaire Carson Knight is facing a brutal battle to ensure custody of his daughter from his ex-wife. Brynlee Whitlock is determined to pay for the expensive surgery her father needs to survive. When a situation brings these two former loves together, they decide to strike up a deal - Carson gets a marriage on paper for his custody battle and Bryn gets the money for her dad’s surgery. Soon old feelings are being rekindled.

Corinne Michaels knows how to write a small town romance filled with charm, angst, and all the steam. This series has been so fun to read, primarily for those reasons, and I loved that it ended with this one, the story of the Whitlock sister. Bryn was a fun character to get to know. Her devotion to her father and her desire to risk everything to save him, made it impossible not to love her. Carson was a little bit harder to get to know, but once I had a clear understanding of his motivations and intent, I was in it for them to win it.

Read if you like:
• second chance
• single dad
• marriage of convenience
• forced proximity
• billionaire romance
• small town charm
• lovable families

5.0 out of 5 stars It’s Always Been You!
Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2024
This novel is a deliciously sweet, beautifully romantic escape, and a lovely way to conclude the Whitlock series! Corinne Michaels truly outdoes herself with this novel. It's always been you, single father and a modern day marriage of convenience are the perfect tropes to bring to life Brynlee and Carson's story! Michaels' writing will swiftly pull you into this romance that is bursting with chemistry and all the sexy and romantic feels. Michael's characters are dynamic and leap off the page, and this world and this family is such a joy to spend your time with! I adore Corinne Michaels and this novel is just another favorite to add to my shelf.

Crew and Bryn are absolutely perfect to each other and their chemistry and pull to the other is palpable and visural at every stage of their romance. Michaels does a lovely job of slowly providing the reader with their whirlwind romance when they were youths and this helps to mimic the uncertainty and tension that pulls between them as they learn to trust each other again. I love that Crew has been head over heels for Bryn since the start and even though he had family duties that took him away from her, he has always loved her. He is an absolute swoon worthy hero and such a strong and dedicated father it is no wonder Bryn has no chance of resisting him! I love that Bryn is a heroine who will always do what she sees as right and she will always follow her guts. Bryn is strong, determined and smart, she is someone who works hard for herself and those she loves. She is also someone who is willing to forgive and she can understand the complexities of others. These two really balance each other, they give each other strength and love and support and watching them find their HEA is truly a beautiful experience.

Corinne Michaels is absolutely a must read author for me! I hope that you pick up this book and this series and fall deeply in love with her strong and independent heroines and the heroes who love and support them with their whole hearts!

Thank you so much to Valentine PR for an eARC, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
