Her Valiant Heart

The Rivers Brothers, Book 1

By: Mary Waterford

Narrated by: Hannah Chiclana, Walker Williams

Life has taught me that happily ever after is just a fairy tale.

Balancing life in Esperance while looking after my four wild siblings? A challenge. Keeping things afloat with two part-time gigs? Harder than it sounds. Flipping burgers at the diner by day and enchanting kiddos as Elsa by night is a grind.

Enter Wolfe Rivers, an older-than-me, hotter-than-Hades billionaire with an allure that's impossible to resist. But he's not just any rich guy—Wolfe's secret haven in Raleigh is all about raw passion and dark desires.

As the pull between us becomes impossible to ignore, his world of diamonds and decadence is a tantalizing escape from my daily hustle. With every stolen kiss, the lines between his high-stakes universe and my family-first reality blur.

Now, when the safety of my family is threatened, and our secret trysts aren't so secret anymore, I'm torn.

Caught in a whirlwind of desire and duty, secrets and sacrifices, can I find a way to live happily ever after with the man of my dreams?

Great book but.

I hate the way the fmc took so long to let her self be loved! I get it. But at the same time I wish the author would have made or put something in there about making sure you are happy with yourself and doing good for yourself and not just others. Also was not suspenseful really in anyway at all.

Narration

This is a really good book, but I didn’t like how the man narrated the FMC’s dialogue during his chapters and vice versa for the female doing the MMC’s dialogue during her chapters. Would’ve been better if the female vc did all the female dialogue and the man did all the male ones no matter whose chapter it was.

Wolfe🥵

Edited to add that all my questions are answered in the next book.
I don’t know how the other brothers can beat Wolfe. He is everything in one hot package. The audio was perfect and I loved the characters and story line. I do wish there were more details added. Like do they ever go back to the sex club, does Esme and the kids meet Wolfes parents, and what about the wedding?! I need those details. But all in all a great listen and I will be listening again in the future.
