Publisher's summary

I’ve been quiet long enough.

I’m nothing like my brothers. I’ve devoted my life to my work, and I don’t care about God or family.

I live alone, and I like it that way. Soon, I’ll have the job of my dreams far away from this place, and that’s all that matters. Everything is going perfectly.

That is until Sadie Green walks into my class.

She is brilliant and funny and infuriating, and she’s ruining everything I have planned for my life.

When she gets the news that she’s pregnant, and the baby’s father isn't going to help her, I step in. She needs guidance, control, and discipline.

Moving her into my house is a risk. If I’m caught living with my pregnant student, I will lose my job and everything I have planned.

But the first time she asks me to punish her, I know it won’t be so easy to walk away—because I love it.

Being with her would risk everything, but God help me, I can’t seem to stop.

Before long, I don’t recognize the good teacher I used to be.

Love this series!

Listening to this book is a whole new experience from just reading it. These narrators really bring this story to life. It was emotional, taboo and deliciously spicy. Sadie and Lucas are perfection together. They balance each other out perfectly. If you’re looking for a story with student/ professor, d*m/ brat and surprise pregnancy(not his) look no further, this one’s for you!

Sultry and provocative

I am here for the Goode Brothers series- I am obsessed with the complicated, emotionally repressed, broken but alpha Goode Brothers and their sultry, sensual, and existential love stories.

What I’m loving about this series is how Sara Cate is getting to do what she does best. How she marries intensely psychological journeys of self (often rooted in past trauma or some sort of existential crisis…here it’s deeply stepped in parental abuse and religious trauma) with wonderfully erotic sexual exploration and unexpected, or in this case forbidden, relationship dynamics. The sex always catalyzes the self-discovery…and the self-discovery incredibly provides emotional and sexual liberation. I was EXTRA excited for the Heartbreaker because it’s so many of my favorite tropes- the age gap, student-teacher dynamic AND surprise baby…that’s not his?! GASP. I was gagging for it from the start-...and after one mesmerizing chapter with the deliciously stoic but insanely doting Dr. Goode, I knew I’d be a goner for him. Professor Goode is by far my favorite Goode brother yet- he’s perfectly broken AND dreamy. A man who just wants to take care of someone and take charge of them….yas, sign me up, Sir.

Sadie on the other hand....eh, unfortunately I didn't love her as much as I wanted to. She's not just naive, at times she's boneheaded. And the whole conflict and resolution felt really unfair to me- not only that, I just didn't really her grow up or evolve much as a character. Dr. Goode not much as well either. I loved their chemistry, but it never felt to move beyond the caregiver/physical to me into a more emotive connection quite like I've seen Sara Cate do in the past. It started so strong, and didn't quite culminate with the depth I've come to expect from her.

The audio featured two of my favorite narrators- CJ Bloom and Jason Clarke. And Jason Clarke ATE THIS UP Y’ALL. Legit the perfect choice, bringing all the grit and control and edge to Professor Goode with all the nuances and increasingly unveiled emotive range. And CJ brought all the fire and sass of Sadie but the much needed vulnerability and naivete to her character. The dream team casting, and I inhaled this audio, and it defintely helped me connect to the characters more.

🖤 Professor-student/forbidden romance
🖤 age gap (10 years)
🖤 forced proximity ( roommates
🖤 surprise baby (and it’s not his)
🖤religious/family trauma
🖤Dom-sub ISH vibes (he likes to be in charge)
🖤Curvy heroine

The Goode Brothers Continue Being Great!!!

Duet narration will forever be the best (other than a full/ graphic audio cast!) narration! Jason Clarke and CJ Bloom are two of the best out there, and they are INCREDIBLE in this one, not that I expected anything different! They truly bring these characters to life, with all of their good & bad qualities, their flaws, their pining, alllll the angst, allllll the emotions, ahh it's just done so well! I couldn't stop listening & finished in one sitting!

Lucas and Sadie are aware of each other as Sadie is the manager of Lucas's SIL's club, but they are not what you would call "friends". They get better "acquainted" when Sadie becomes a student of Lucas's, but lets just say that it's a rough beginning lol!

Lucas has a cold exterior, but he seems to see the potential in Sadie (academically), & once he finds out that she is expecting (not his!), he offers her a place to stay & help to get her life under control/together.

Their banter is delish, Sadie is such a brat & Lucas is a smidge of dom lol. They toe the line of what's appropriate, but once they cross it, it gets HOT! This one is emotionally charged (when are Sara Cate's not though?!), & it was a rollercoaster that I enjoyed every minute of!

Yes, Professor!

These Goode boys just get better and better…and by better, I mean dirtier ;-) This story is about Lucas and Sadie, both of who you meet briefly in the first two books of the series. Sadie finds herself in Professor Goodes class, unknowingly pregnant (by another man). When she finds herself needing a safe place to stay, by a twisted turn of events, she ends up staying with Lucas. Tensions are HIGH and get strung so tight, that by the time they SNAP...oh boy they are taking you with them. From then on, it’s all just hot, steamy, sweaty, dominating fun. I love love LOVE seeing a man lose control. The way Sadie pushed him to his limit was so much fun. It was so fun getting glimpse of all the other characters we know and love from the series and we got so much ISAAC!!! I can’t wait.

This audiobook was narrated in Duet by CJ Bloom and Jason Clarke who were absolutely phenomenal, and their voices are so complemental together. CJ was so well at tapping into Sadie’s Angst and Edge but yet vulnerable and soft at times, depending on the situation. Jason just…*Phew* there are truly no words that can describe this man and his performance. He played the inner turmoil of Lucas so well, but when he let out that dominant side, watch out. Both of these people are absolute top tier narrators, and with a super star author like Sara Cate writing the script…GOLD! Pure gold.

Another Sara Cate success!

I absolutely love Sara Cate’s books. I really appreciated the storyline and thoughts she put into this. I don’t know if I’m just stronger than I used to be, but I wasn’t a blubbering mess like I have been with her other books. I’m actually glad for that. Lol. My favorite part of the performance was the fact it was a duet. There was a male voice for the male parts and a female voice for the female parts. It makes it a lot more relatable when you hear it that way. Well it could be a standalone, I would really encourage readers to start the first book of the Goode Brothers. I am really hoping we get to hear Isaac story!

Outstanding DUET narration that elevates this story!

I’ve been loving this series of Goode brothers and was so excited for Lucas Goode’s story! The trope list alone hooked me right in! You have Lucas who is a professor and Sadie who manages the spicy club that his sister in law owns. She walks into his class and things just begin to heat up from there! Did I mention she’s pregnant and it’s not his!? The whole story is a wild and spicy HOT rollercoaster ride as there is passion, emotion, trauma, angst, and tension!! While there is a third act break up that I was a huge fan of, it did not ruin it for me and the audiobook performance makes it so easy to keep listening and enjoy he rest of the story! And if you’re a fan of this series…there is a lot of Isaac content which has me even more excited for the next one!!!!!!

Student/Professor
Surprise Pregnancy (Not His Baby)
Grumpy/Sunshine
Dom/Brat

🎧AUDIO REVIEW
Outstanding on audio!!! This audiobook is a DUET narration by CJ Bloom & Jason Clarke whose performance took this entire book up a notch for me!! The passion and feeling in their voices brought both Lucas and Sadie to life while making you feel the tension, angst and chemistry between them! CJ Bloom perfectly captured Sadie as she has a softer tone which fit her college age, but then she also had an edge to her tone with showcased Sadie’s sassy and desirable side as well. So well done!!! Then there is Jason whose deep, raspy tone perfectly emulated a dominating and demanding in charge processor. He also has a swoony edge to his tone for Lucas as well when he takes care of her and as his feelings grow. Overall, this performance was just phenomenal and is truly one of those audios that makes the book better!!
