Defying Our Forever

The Baker’s Creek Billionaire Brothers, Book 3

By: Claudia Burgoa

Narrated by: Teddy Hamilton, Kelsey Navarro

USA Today best-selling Author Claudia Burgoa delivers a funny, heartfelt, sometimes angsty romantic comedy where love begins anew.

Fresh out of vet school, I married Pierce Aldridge. Gorgeous, sexy, and smart. He’s a philanthropist with a heart of gold, or so I thought.

But after a while he became distant, self-centered, and callous. The man I married disappeared before my eyes. I should leave him, but I can’t do it just yet.

There’s one thing I need, but I can’t have it if I divorce him. Just a few more months.

But my plans fall through when his father dies. The man was just as ruthless as his son.

Now, I can either spend 18 months with Pierce in his hometown playing the happy couple, or I could avoid the ordeal entirely if I sign the divorce papers. But I would lose the one thing I’ve been wanting my whole life.

The more time that passes, the more I realize that maybe I’ve been wrong.

Maybe the man I married is still there. The man I still love.

But is it too late?

The Baker’s Creek Billionaire Brothers series is a romantic comedy saga packed with the perfect mix of angst, tears, and laughs. If you like strong heroines and alpha males, steamy romances and witty love stories, this series is for you!

A wonderful story

This is a wonderful story and the narrative is really good. I hope there will be another book or two to tell Miles and Vance's stories. Also to tell Deacons story. I listened to this one all the way through without stopping, I enjoyed it that much. Really hoping for more of this story.

Second Chances

I read the ebook when it was released.
Pierce Aldridge was a jerk to Layla. My heart
went out to her when her world was crumbling.
Good thing she is a survivor The narrators did an excellent job of putting voices for the characters.

Great story and great narration

This is an emotional story and Teddy Hamilton and Kelsey Navarro did a wonderful job bringing all the emotions to the surface and the characters to life.
This is Leyla and Pierce’s story and it’s the one I have been waiting for. Their story will have you on the edge of your seat from the time they meet to the final line, it’s sweet yet passionate and it’s full of obstacles this couple need to navigate to find the HEA they both deserve.
Pierce loves Leyla and he thought he had found his soulmate but his past and family history keeps rearing it’s ugly head and for that reason he try’s to push the love of his life away...
Leyla knows her future is with Pierce and she is not going to walk away without a fight...
This is a love story that’s tender and passionate with family issues you can relate you, it’s a story about a man wanting the best for his love even if that means her life is without him. This book ticked all my boxes, I smiled, I swooned, I sighed and at times I wanted to bang this couples heads together. It’s a romance that will appeal to a wide audience with this captivating love story so I guess all I need to say is please one click this gem, you won’t be disappointed. Great addition to the series.
Wonderful story and wonderful narration

Favorite in this series!

Pierce and Leyla's story is my favorite in the series so far! This was an emotional read for me. From the tragic past that Leyla endured to the horrible people that Pierce calls family, their story is full of raw emotion. This second chance romance pulls at the heart strings and absolutely is one that I will remember. It was such a great story in this series. I love watching the brothers form a stronger bond with every story that passes. Great read!

The narrators did a great job bringing this story to life. I felt the emotion in their words. Great story!

My Heart!

I don't know what it is but I was sucked into this story from the beginning. For me it's different because Layla and Pierce are already married, even if they ready for divorce. Their second chance comes while they're still together an my heart broke for them. It was heartfelt. I love seeing them from the start and how they came to be at this place in their lives. The story does have humor and lightens up the story and in the end I had a big smile on my face. The narrators do such an amazing job with the characters and I could see and hear them as Layla and Pierce. I felt them more than the previous book. I will be listening to this again.

Pierce & Layla will break your heart !

oh, Claudia didn't play with this one. She brought in the big guns to destroy my emotions!

This second chance small town romance is one of a larger series that I've come to adore and know that it will be in library of repeat listens.

First I have to applaud Kelsey and Teddy for their stellar performance as Layla and Pierce.

My heart hurt for these two and their tough journey to their HEA.

This book pulled at my emotions in all the best ways. There's heartache, angst, love and friendship that makes this book a 5 star for me!

Emotional

The performance by Teddy and Kelsey had me all up in my feels. I feel like Pierce and Layla’s book had me super emotional. I felt such a connection with the pair. This one is a must listen to. It is a great story, has memorable characters and if just overall fabulous.

Sweet and charming story!

I recently listened to Defying Our Forever by Claudia Burgoa and I loved it. Narrated by Teddy Hamilton and Kelsey Navarro, this gives us the story of Pierce and Leyla. We learn about their history before landing in their current situation. They share witty banter, and I loved their back and forth. But with neither being totally open and honest with each other, can they make it together? They definitely share steamy chemistry, but also a whole bunch of obstacles stand in their way. Can they find a way to stay together and see what they truly have before it’s too late?

I loved not only getting their history but watching them interact and find each other again. Defying Our Forever by Claudia Burgoa was sweet and charming story full of the best feels. A must-listen and/or read for sure!

Happy listening!

Wow, Pierce and Leyla need to work for their HEA!

The Aldridge family sure does have a lot of baggage, and it's making the Baker's Creek Billionaires series a great experience.

Pierce and Leyla fell in love instantly, got married, and then went their separate ways for YEARS. But when Pierce's father's will brings them both to Baker's Creek, Pierce leaps at the second chance to make their marriage real. Pierce and Leyla needed to really work for their happily ever after, and I'm so glad that they did.

Teddy Hamilton and Kelsey Navarro really brought this story to life. You could hear the frustration, the heat, the emotion in their voices and it made it such a great listening experience.

Enjoyed the characters and the narration.

A quickie marriage does not necessarily lead to an HEA. Leyla and Pierce grew apart, headed for a divorce. This was their journey back to each other. I loved how Leyla kept Pierce hanging by not signing the divorce papers until she felt the time was right. Pierce realized he needed to up his game and do right by Leyla. My heart felt for him as he gave her what she wanted just as she supported him in the game his father willed them into. I enjoyed all the family members, recurring characters, as they supported and pushed these two together.

Teddy Hamilton and Kelsey Navarro did a wonderful job with the narration of this audiobook. The many voices each had to cover was entertaining and well done. They enhanced the storytelling.

I was given a copy of this audiobook, and this is my unsolicited review.
