Forbidden Dreams

A Small Town, Single Mom, Enemies to Lovers Romance (Dreams Series, Book 2)

De: Natasha Madison

Narrado por: Gregory Salinas, Savannah Peachwood

Montgavin Township will never be the same when one night changes the lives of six people.

When the single mom moves in next door, it's your enemy's soon-to-be ex-wife.
Lines are drawn, and I have to remember not to cross them.

Brady
For once, my life was calm.
Behind us was the threat our distillery was going to be shut down.
Now we could focus on growing our brand exactly the way I dreamed of doing it when I took it over.
Nothing was going to stop me.
Until she moved in next door.
My enemy’s wife with her seven-year-old son.
I don’t need this right now.
But everything inside me pulled me toward her.
Even offering her a job. Little did I know, again, I was starting a war.
However, I’m ready for it this time.

Harmony

It was no secret my husband had a wandering eye.
Leaving him shouldn’t have been a shock to anyone.
For Winston, it was more about failing at something that got under his skin.
Besides, he had to make his parents happy.
Which means he’s going to make my life unhappy.
When the pounding starts at my door one night, I’m ready to ignore it.
Until the stranger next door comes to our aid.
He’s everything you want in a man.
I know I shouldn’t involve anyone else in my life.
But maybe it’s time for me to see what dreams are made of.

Wonderful second book in series

Harmony and her son make their escape from her awful husband. They end up in a real fixer-upper house next door to Brady, the enemy of Harmony's soon to be ex. I liked the way Brady came to help Harmony & her son. Things between them just felt right. Brady wanted to take care of them and show them they were valued. The narration by Gregory Salinas and Savannah Peachwood was perfect.
I'm looking forward to the next book.

this was a beautiful story.

I just loved this story. the narrators did a great job. I enjoy all your books.

Beautiful storyline but...

Was looking forward to this second book because I really loved the the first one. I also do like this one, Brady was Harmony's knight in shining armor and she needed that considering what she went through and is still going through with her ex husband and his horrible family. It's sweet, spicy funny and all, however, considering she's coming from a past that may have involved DV, I'm not sure how I feel about Brady's threats or reminders of spanking her if she didn't comply or if she did something he didn't approve of, I know it's sexual but sometimes he seems pretty pushy and demanding. Overall though it's a good read and would definitely recommend it. The narrators did an awesome job too so I'm definitely looking forward to book 3!

great listen

I always enjoy this author. but I will say that this story really flowed well like I was captivated from start to finish. so this one has to go to one of my favorites at the top. it had some twists and turns cuz you never knew what was going to happen it wasn't really suspenseful but there was moments where I was very concerned I don't want to give a lot of the book away but to say there was a male character who did not like women in any shape or form especially his wife so I would say that if you're concerned at all about abuse on women this book might trigger something for you but it was really really good and I would recommend it

Great read.

Forbidden Dreams had a lot of depths in the story. Each chapter was well developed that got me so hooked on the book, I cannot think of a better way to spend my evening than getting lost in this beautiful story. This book was perfect, I highly recommend it.

Love it

I really enjoyed the book, I read the 1st one and knew i had to get this one two. more coming out in the series, which I will read too. I always like throwing in a text romance after reading my mystery/thriller books. I would recommend the Dream series.

Harmony is a BADASS!

Talk about badass! Harmony gets THE single mama award hands down! This story was everything!!

Courage

Abusive relationships are not easy to get out of, especially when the in-laws control the local officials. This story highlights the courage to take life back. Love love love the family dynamics.

a truly captivating experience

Forbidden Dreams by Natasha Madison is an emotional powerhouse that seamlessly blends heartache, healing, and hope. The narration by Samantha Brentmoor and Shane East is exceptional, adding depth and nuance to every scene. Their performances bring the raw chemistry between Harmony and Brady to life, making each moment feel both authentic and electric.

Harmony’s resilience as a single mom carving out a new life for herself and her son, Wyatt, is inspiring. Paired with Brady’s gruff yet protective nature, their journey from reluctant neighbors to an undeniable connection had me completely hooked. I especially loved how naturally Brady embraced Harmony and Wyatt as a package deal—his bond with Wyatt was just as moving as the romance itself.

Natasha Madison does not disappoint with Forbidden Dreams—more like “hold my beer” because she’s on a roll with the Dream series. While Shattered Dreams holds the top spot as my personal favorite, this audiobook delivered an equally captivating experience that kept me invested from start to finish. Madison’s ability to weave real-life struggles into a story of second chances makes this a standout in the small-town romance genre. I couldn’t hit the pause button on this one and am already counting down to the next installment in this incredible series!
