Book Description


My little brother’s girlfriend was always supposed to be mine.


The first time I met good girl Maggie Sullivan, she was my brother’s guest at Sunday dinner. That should have been enough to keep me away. It wasn’t.

The night I lost my tightly held control—she kissed me back and it was like everything I could have ever imagined.

Until our lives changed forever as my family went down in flames.

I left and never planned to come back to our small town.

Now, years later, everyone knows my songs. The ones I wrote about her. The scars that never healed, bleeding out on stage.

Fame and its late nights get tiring, so I’ve returned to Little Falls to right my wrongs.

With only twenty-four hours until perfect, little Maggie Sullivan is reelected mayor uncontested, I decide to throw a wrench into her plans.

Except I’m the one getting screwed again because all these years later, she’s still the only woman I want.

This is a small town former friends to enemies to lovers romance with mid-level open door steam/spice.

My Thoughts


In W. Million's Rival Hearts, narrated by the wonderfully talented Corvin King and Charlotte North, listeners are treated to a captivating small-town romance that defies bedtime. This isn't just another love story; it's a tangled web of past hurts, unspoken desires, and a scorching chemistry that leaps from your headphones.


The story centers on Maggie Sullivan and Grady, whose history is anything but simple. Maggie, once the girlfriend of Grady's brother, Trent, always had an undeniable pull towards Grady. Their brief, explosive kiss shattered their tightly held control, only for their lives to be irrevocably altered when Grady’s family implodes, sending him far from their small town of Little Falls to pursue a music career. His songs, etched with the pain of unhealed scars and a longing for Maggie, become famous, but the late nights and fame eventually bring him back home.

Ten years later, Grady returns with a clear agenda: disrupt Maggie's seemingly perfect life as the re-elected mayor and owner of the local pharmacy. He aims to "right his wrongs," but quickly finds himself ensnared by the very woman he's trying to provoke. The push-and-pull between them, fueled by years of unresolved tension and unspoken feelings, makes for an utterly compelling listen.

Corvin King and Charlotte North's narration is exceptional. They bring Maggie and Grady to life, perfectly capturing their complicated emotions and the undeniable sizzle between them. Their performances elevate the "friends-to-enemies-to-lovers" trope, making every stolen glance and heated argument resonate. The pacing of the book is superb; each chapter offers just enough to keep you hooked, desperate for more. The characters are incredibly likable despite their flaws, and their chemistry is truly chef's kiss. If you're a fan of small-town romance with a good dose of "open door" spice, Rival Hearts is an absolute must-listen.
