Miles (the youngest brother) and Roxy's story. He has a young son and was burned before. She is pregnant and doing it alone. Being each other's plus ones for events and getting to know one another has Miles falling hard. Skittish with a bad dating track record has Roxy falling and pulling back. With a little help from family has the two of them wrapped in a fast paced insta-love interesting romance. Blakely always weaves a good tale.

Wirklich nette Geschichten, die Trilogie ist herzerwärmend und vlt ein bisschen zu schmalzig an manchen Stellen, aber dennoch ein netter Zeitvertreib.

My favorite of the series! I swooned over Miles Hart and his son Ben (who had the best lines- Chicken magnet!) and Roxy was just plain cool. I loved watching their friendship develop along with their fake relationship- they had such great chemistry but it was a nice slow burn. Andi Arndt and Sebastian York are perennial favorites and they did an excellent job as usual. Blakely always adds extra treats in her audiobooks, and the Little Big Rock bonus was fun.

Single dad, aren’t my usual cup of tea, but I must say that Miles is sexy, famous and just amazing. Roxy and Miles make such an amazing couple, her confidence and self-esteem makes the story just even better. I am swooning for a single dad now.

Once Upon a Wild Fling was fast paced, flirty, engaging and fun. And a great end to the Heartbreakers series. As Miles and Roxy were both charming, entertaining and likable characters. Who shared plenty of banter and chemistry and they kept me hooked throughout. Plus, Miles son Ben was hilarious, adorable and full of energy. And I loved the father/son relationship they shared.
And I would happily recommend this story to others.

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.

Once Upon a Wild Fling is the third and final book in the Heartbreakers series. Lauren has done it again my friends. Brought us new heroes to love in the form of a trio of deliciously talented brothers. Rockstars. Heart throbs. The oldest a dirty mouthed single dad. The middle a fun loving, carefree man who loves singing with his brothers. And Miles, the youngest brother. A fantastic single dad. The easy prey to the baby brother jokes. The sexy, sweet rocker who never takes no for an answer. Miles isn't looking for love. He's been burned, but has the best son in the world, so he has no regrets. He's always had a secret thing for his best friend and manager's sister. But he can't go there. That's just all kinds of wrong. Until he sees Roxy one day looking sexy as sin, and he just can't stay away. He needs a date to his high school reunion. They are friends after all, so what's the harm being a plus one? After one kiss they both seem to gravitate toward each other. Finding things to do together. Little gestures, plus one dates. Roxy is so great with his son, Ben. When a steamy kiss turns into so much more what is Miles going to do? Let Roxy get away or fight for what he wants? He's no quitter and he's no fan of heartbreak, but is Roxy worth the risk? Is she a wild fling who turns into just what he and Ben need? I loved this story so much! I love all of these brothers for such different reasons and the relationship they have with each other is some of the best brother love I've ever read. They tease, they taunt, they hug, they tell each other how they feel. They are a family and not just because they share blood. They choose to be brothers. To spend time together. To share their lives with each other. To play together. Miles and Roxy are so fun and flirty and perfect for each other. They know who they are and what they want out of life and their mutual attraction just led them to believe in so much more. I wish there were more books in the series and I'm hoping we'll see them again!
It's not that I think my buddy's sister is a babe
It's that I think she's a total babe.
"Daddy, will I be a chicken magnet like you when I grow up? I mean, you are handsome like me."
"You're handsome and talented and brilliant."
"I loved high school."
Campbell laughs. "That's because we paved the way for you, Dodgeball. We were the coolest dudes and you were the younger brother of the coolest dudes."
"Good to know you have faith in my ability to be charming without you."
Miller slugs my arm. "We can’t help it. You're the youngest. We're pretty much always going to give you a hard time. "
