Like all of the author’s books, My One Regret envelops the reader in the story. We first meet Kaden and Sadie as they are breaking up. Kaden’s teenage daughter has been hurt, and he retreats from their relationship in parental fear. He feels guilty for his daughter’s pain, and the breakup is his misguided way of resolving that. A few months later, Sadie is in a car accident. Not knowing if she will live or die, Kaden rushes to her side. The story of their relationship is told in his memories, as he waits for her to regain consciousness. We experience their love as it unfolds, all the more poignant with their present circumstances.
This is an emotional book. You experience the full range of emotion from joy to heartbreak to fear, but also a lot of hope. There is betrayal and forgiveness. The story of the rock star and the florist who enchants him will sweep you away with them.
On a small side note, I do love the small “blink and you miss it” references to some of Ms Burgoa’s past books. Nothing that will detract from the book if you haven’t read the others, but for those of us who have it’s like overhearing word of an old friend and being glad they’re doing well. In my mind, the characters are all real people living in the northeast and these tiny references make that fantasy all the more real to me 🙂
I loved this book. It took my emotions on a roller coaster ride but it was so worth it. Kaden Hades broke up with Sadie Bell, his fiancee, when something really bad happened with his oldest daughter and he felt that focusing on his daughters was what was the best for them. Even though Sadie understood his decision, she was still heartbroken and upset that he wouldn’t let her be involved to help him get through things.
Six months later, Kaden is notified that Sadie was in a horrible accident and might not survived. He rushes to her bedside and finds out how much Sadie had sacrificed for him. As Sadie lays in a coma, Kaden thinks back to how hard Sadie didn’t want to get involved with him and how much work he had to do to get her to spend time with him at the beginning. He realizes that Sadie opened her heart to him and his daughters when she knew the potential hurt that he could inflict on her. As Kaden deals with the unexpected circumstances that he finds himself in and trying to get Sadie to wake up from her injuries, he also finds out what his daughters have done to hurt Sadie when all she wanted was to be their friend. Add in his ex-wife who seems to be poisoning their daughter’s minds against him and Sadie, Kaden has to deal with all the issues that caused him to make decisions that he regrets.
This story is about love, heartbreak, tragedy, healing and hope. It is one of the best stories that I have read in a while. I can’t wait to read the next books by Mrs. Burgoa.
f you like rocker romance type books, My One Regret is the one for you. Ms. Burgoa once again will take you on an emotional roller coaster with Kaden and Sadie. Besides this being a rocker book, it’s definitely a second chance at love and boy did Kaden have to work for that second chance. The story goes from past to present but you will not be lost as the story is told seamlessly. Get your tissues ready because you will shed a few tears or more.
Loved this story…so many emotions!
Kaden and Sadie, wow, expect tears, that’s all I’m saying!
The feels…admiration, love, devastation, sadness,
longing, fear…..regret.
This is not a fluffy read. My heart was in serious pain during a lot of this story. Poor Sadie, poor Kaden, the man and the father…will live win in the end? Can mistakes be reversed?
Definitely recommend this read.
Wow. This was my first book by this author and I’m beyond thrilled to have gotten the opportunity to read this book. She lifts you up and breaks your heart and puts all the pieces back so wonderfully.
I loved the banter between Sadie and Mr. Hades! They are so funny and loving and man, they are THE couple. Sadie is 100% one of my favorite heroines. She is so put together and intelligent but she’s been through a lot and she has her own demons lurking from her past that make her walls go up. And Kaden/Kade/Mr. Hades…. he’s the guy we root for. The man that is in no way perfect but his heart is in the right place. He tries his best for his children and for Sadie. I mean, he tries. He does not give up and he fights for what he wants. He’s the perfect bad boy turns Prince Charming.
Seriously, I couldn’t get enough of these two. They were one of my favorite couples. They are the ones we hold on to hope for. 5 stars for this wonderfully written love story!
This book sucked me right in, and I didn’t want to put it down until I was finished. Kade is a rockstar with two daughters and an insane ex wife. Sadie had a hard childhood growing up, and love and relationships aren’t in her plan at the moment. When the two of them meet, their chemistry is undeniable. Unfortunately, drama ensues and creates chaos for everyone involved.
This book is filled with love, hate, angst, and heartbreak. The characters are ones you love, and love to hate. I’d definitely recommend this book.
My One Regret is awesome! I loved everything about this book from the beautiful storyline, rockstar, family, characters and emotional. It does go from past to present at times but it was still easy to follow. This is a must read!!
Wow! My One Regret was SO Good! Kaden Hades is a musician that broke up with his fiancé, Sadie, because of something that happened with one of his daughters. Sadie owns a flower shop and is heartbroken when she and Kaden part ways. The story starts in the present and then goes back in time to when they met and everything that led up to their break up. Their love was so real and strong. I loved the way Sadie made him work for it. She initially wasn’t interested in starting a relationship with him. But he was very persistent with his wooing and he eventually won her heart. But after breaking off their engagement and in turn hurting her worse than anyone ever had, he’s going to have to earn back her trust and his chance to be hers again. Kaden definitely pissed me off with the way he ended things. But he was such a great guy who honestly thought he was doing what was best for his daughters. It takes six months and almost losing Sadie for good before he straightens himself up but he definitely stepped up to the plate to bring his family back together. Claudia Burgoa is a wonderful author who wrote a heartbreakingly beautiful love story that I will never forget. Definitely one of my top reads for 2018!
Claudia has become one of my must read authors. She has a way of creating stories that grip you and suck you in and My One Regret was no exception. This novel took you on an emotional roller-coaster ride from the start and continued right until the end. Your heart will break and you will fall in love. Kaden and Sadie, the rockstar and the florist, two unique complex characters, will have you rooting for them from day one. You will enjoy the journey of watching them fall in love.
Told in both the past and the present day, the novel had a bit of everything, romance, love, friendship, angst, deception, lies, healing forgiveness and so much more. This story has so many twists and turns you will not know what to expect next. I loved the mix of characters both ones you will love and ones you will dislike.
This page-turner was heartbreaking yet riveting. It was a fantastic read and I would highly recommend it.
I have been wanting to read Claudia Y. Burgoa for some time now. When I had the chance to read My One Regret, I immediately decided to jump on the chance to read and review. From the blurb I knew this would be an emotional and angst-filled read and I was not wrong. The feels were strong with this one and I could not stop reading.
Kaden Hades was full of regret. He let the love of his life go to put his kids first. He felt he was doing the right thing, but he never stopped loving her. Then he finds out she was in an accident and this time he could lose her for good. He realizes letting her go was his biggest mistake, but is it too late now?
When Kaden goes to Sadie’s side, he is full of memories and remorse. This story was heartbreaking and all-consuming. I fell hard for Kaden and Sadie. We get their story in a mix of past and present. We get to see them fall in love and see what shatters it all. I cried, I laughed, I hurt, and I cheered while reading this book.
My emotional state when I finished this book was indescribable. I have no words except to say I have found a new must-read author. This was an emotional roller coaster story about love, hope and second chances. I absolutely loved these characters and their journey. I highly recommend My One Regret by Claudia Y. Burgoa.

4.5* Second Chance Love Stars
This emotional story centres on the bond of a father, (who also happens to be a popular sexy rock star), and his love for his 2 daughters and what lengths he will go too, to protect them even to the detriment of loosing the love of his life Sadie. Kade’s protectiveness and loyalty to his children was paramount.
I enjoyed that the story did not focus on Kade’s music, his band and the drama that normally goes with it. This story was about love, forgiveness, trust and family and was heartfelt from beginning to end.
Sadie Bell was a very likeable character, kind and selfless and you could see why Kade fell in love with her. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for Kade’s ex wife who was very selfish and deplorable with her actions and manipulation towards her daughters.
I would highly recommend this wonderful second chance love story.
I was fortunate to win an ARC of this wonderful book in exchange for an honest review and would like to thank the Author Claudia for this.
5 STARS
I loved Kaden and Sadie’s story! Their story is an emotional roller coaster and will resonate in the depths of your heart. I had the pleasure to listen to the audiobook and the narration by Stephen Dexter and Stephanie Nemeth-Parker was fabulous. My One Regret by Claudia Burgoa is an EPIC audiobook that will join the ranks of the BIBLIO-ARISTOCRACY!!!
I absolutely loved this romance from Claudia Burgoa. I’m not usually an angst fan, but My One Regret, while emotional and definitely angsty, was such a gripping story right from the very beginning.
Kade and Sadie’s happily-ever-after was well on the way towards being a fait accompli when tragedy struck, and they were split apart. Kade, a former alcoholic, popular rock star, father of two, has a full plate, is committed to making sure his daughters know that they come first, and just wants to do the right thing for everyone. But even that can leave a guy misguided. Sadie is a wonderful woman that just loves him with all her heart. She doesn’t want to hurt him. She doesn’t want to be hurt, either, and that’s what happens.
When a second event puts Sadie’s life at risk, Kade is immediately brought back to her side, determined to regain the love that has been missing from his life since he left Sadie behind. The story is told in a series of flash-backs along with current day events, and the timeline shifts are always easily and clearly identified. This perspective can be hard to get right, and Claudia Burgoa crafted this story beautifully.
The narration, by Stephen Dexter and Stephanie Nemeth-Parker, was fantastic. They bring so much grit and emotion to their performances, and they capture the turmoil and emotional upheaval that both Kade and Sadie are dealing with. I loved this listen.
My heart! My heart broke and then was put back together again by this author and this story. Kaden and Sadie took my heart. I fell in love right along with them and their separation tore at my heart strings. It’s not an easy journey but I loved the love and determination between them when they finally get a second chance. I listened to the audio of this and it just brings the story to life in a whole new way. The narrators do a such a great job of bringing the characters to life that I felt as though I was there with them. They bring out the emotions and had me balling like a baby at times.
Audio Review
Claudia Burgoa is a go to author for me but this book slipped past me so when I was given the opportunity to listen to it, I jumped at the chance. This story touched me on so many levels and I found myself sighing and yelling out loud throughout this emotional listen. Stephen Dexter and Stephanie Nemeth-Parker did a wonderful job bringing the characters and their journey to life.
Kaden and Sadie thought they were going to be together for ever, they thought they had found their soulmates until they were torn apart and Kaden walked away. But walking away left him realising he had left the woman of his dreams and he has regretted ever since. When he gets a phone call saying Sadie has been in an accident he has no hesitation dropping everything and rushing to her side and that’s when this love story really gets emotional as we go back and forth between the past and the present. Sadie is vulnerable and hurt and he will do what ever is needed to protect his soulmate.
This story is emotional and the narrators did a wonderful job bringing these emotions to life, their performances really did justice to this heart breaking romance that will stay with me long after listening to the final words. I highly recommend you read or listen to this wonderful romance.
5 star review My One Regret (My One #1) by Claudia Burgoa
AUDIO REVIEW:
Having read a number of books by Claudia Burgoa, I was excited to listen to My One Regret narrated by Stephen Dexter and Stephanie Nemeth-Parker. Lately I have been gravitating towards single parent stories and this one ticked the boxes.
Kaden and Sadie are in love until they are torn apart and Kaden ends their relationship. For Kaden, Sadie is the one who got away and he has regretted letting her go. When tragedy strikes and Sadie is seriously injured, Kaden will do whatever he needs to protect the vulnerable Sadie who is not in a position to protect herself.
The performances by Stephen and Stephanie certainly brought this story to life for me. Their performances were emotional and did justice to this heart breaking and at times angsty story.
My One Regret is my first read by Claudia Burgoa and it most definitely will not be my last. I whole heartedly love this author and her story telling. It is emotional, raw and real. From the first chapter these characters captured my heart and I was already shedding tears within the first few pages. I fell so hard for Sadie and Kaden. Sadie is a passionate woman, she owns and runs a flower shop. Kaden is a rockstar he is a beautiful man inside and out. He is incredibly patient and never gives up on those he loves. He and Sadie couldn’t be more opposite but from the moment they meet there are instant sparks. Sadie doesn’t give in immediately and really made him work for her love and affection. This made for a slow build up that was addicting and kept me flipping the pages. Kaden shows up every day and is relentless in winning her over. Sadie thinks she has him pegged as the playboy rockstar but she couldn’t be more wrong. The book is told in past and present and the story flowed well. The messages portrayed in this book are unique, beautiful and emotional. It is one of the most beautiful second chance love stories I’ve ever read. My heart squeezed for this beautiful family of Kaden, Sadie, their baby and Kaden’s daughters Tess and Hannah. The strength, trust and love between them all was incredible and I cannot wait to read Tess and Hannah’s stories next in My One Desire and Almost Perfect.
Received in exchange for a honest review.
One word: love. Love the book. It is an emotional roller coaster of a book but oh so worth it. Kade you fall in love with instantly. How he gets Sadie was to adorable. And it shows us he is such a down to earth guy and truly loves his kids. I must warn if you have triggers about abuse both physical and emotional and neglect this may not be a book for you. Claudia burgoa takes these topics on head on and does it with such powerful moments and grace. Her writing is so emotional and amazing in this book that you are drawn to the characters and their love story.
Sadie is so open with her heart and giving it’s sad that she doesn’t really believe in love lasting at first and halfway through the book as well. It isn’t until Tess that she sees what is holding her back the second time and your heart fills with joy when she lets Kade and his children in. when she releases her fear and truly opens up her heart.
The parents of Sadie and Kade weren’t stellar but in the end, Sadie’s dad does start to change. Alicia was a piece of work. You truly will not like that manipulative woman. What she does to her children is atrocious and how she uses them against Kade is just disgusting. Her treatment and using of Kade was also wretched. You just can’t help but not like her. She almost destroyed a love between Sadie and Kade but also did damage to his relationship with his children.
We get to see their love story from Kade’s eyes as he talks with Kieran their little one. We see his love and devotion to his children and his love for Sadie play out. The story is in both Kade’s and Sadie’s view and I love Kade’s the most. WhY? We see more growth and emotional moments. We see the raw feelings and what is going on in his world and we see his love for his children and Sadie on full display. We see his regrets, fears and also his owning up to his mistakes. His fight for Sadie and his children will melt you heart.
This book was incredible. Kaden had my heart from the beginning. With Sadie you see the sensitive fun side of this rocker. With his children you see a man who will do anything for them even if it hurts him to do so. Does he mess up? Yes but he does regret it and right his wrongs with love, honesty and determination. How he is with Kieran was heart melting and reading the past was so sad but also shows the story of Sadie and Kade and where they belong and the road they took to get there. It’s funny with the nicknames, sweet with Kade’s way with her and intimate with the talks and moments that steam the kindle. It is heartwarming and heartbreaking but shows us that love endures all obstacles thrown its way.
What a riveting story about losing love and finding it again! Having read Hannah’s story in Almost Perfect, I understood much more about what happened to her and Tess after I read Kaden and Sadie’s story. Of course, I had to read Tess’s story in My One Desire as soon as I finished this book.
