About this listen
First rule of being a nanny? Don’t fall for the single dad, even if he is smoking hot.
But that’s exactly what happens when grumpy small-town sheriff Asher Whitlock reluctantly hires me to take care of his daughter for the summer. Neither of us is thrilled with the arrangement, but he’s desperate for help, and I need the money for grad school this fall.
All we need to do is keep our distance and remain professional. Turns out, that’s easier said than done.
Instead of focusing on my future, all I see is the strong jawline, crystal-blue eyes, and rock-hard body right in front of me. We try to resist each other, but we end up crossing every line until I’m in his bed.
I tell myself it’s just this once.
Okay, twice.
All right, every night.
But it’s got to end–he’s 14 years older than me, with a kid and a stressful job. Have I mentioned my dad is his boss? Then, there’s the past I’m trying to forget. Secrets aren’t easy to keep, and mine are getting too big to hide.
Walking away is never simple, but when I do, I can’t look back.
Even if it means leaving behind the man I was never meant to love.

Story
Teagan Berkeley is trying her best. A single mom raising a precocious teen, she may have given up on her dreams, but she's accepted her life in her small beachside hometown. Now the one person who abandoned her when she needed him the most has returned, bringing back memories of what might have been. Derek Hartz arrives in town with a teenage daughter - and he's full of guilt over his failed marriage and the way he ended his friendship with Teagan. He's determined to set things right with her, but first he needs to gain her trust, something he's not convinced he deserves.

Story
In the morning, she was gone and had taken my solace with her. I left for the military that day, vowing never to return to Pennsylvania. When my father dies, I’m forced to go home to bury him. At least I'll finally be rid of his farm, which is grown over and tangled with memories I've fought to forget. And that’s when I find her. She’s even more beautiful than I remember and has the most adorable kid I’ve ever seen. Years have passed, but my feelings are the same, and this time I refuse to let her go. They say you can't bury the past, and they're right.

I should have known I was in trouble when I backed my old, beat-up truck into the shiny Range Rover. The driver looked like a gorgeous fallen angel–one who’d been booted right out of paradise for being a giant prick. Good thing I’ll never have to see him again.

Story
At 18, I walked away from Willow Creek Valley for good. I was young, scared, and stupid, and it cost me the love of my life - Grayson Parkerson. Fourteen years later, a crash sends me back home to recover. Back to where we met, fell in love, and planned a future. Working at The Park Inn together gives us a chance to reconnect, and seeing him with his little girl makes me long for the days when he was mine. I’m not the girl I was - intimidated by his wealthy family and desperate to escape our small town. How can I convince him to give first love a second chance?

Story
Emmett Lasker is impossible to work for. He might be model handsome and stupidly wealthy, but he also has it out for me. He’s given me more last-minute and weekend requests than anyone else, ruining any plans I make. I should quit. And I will. Just as soon as I hit my two-year anniversary and earn out my signing bonus. But after a particularly awful day at work, a breakup (via text!), and my computer crashing, I’ve had enough! So at 11:59 Friday night, I barge into Emmett’s office to tell him what I really think of him. Only, that’s not what happens. AT ALL.

To a village in the Scottish Highlands that plays host to an exclusive members-only club, Ardnoch Estate.

When I discover my boyfriend is cheating on me, I move out right away taking what I love most – my dog. As I fly out the door, I make sure to swipe the thing my ex loves best–the VIP tickets he won to a hockey game, complete with the chance to spend an evening with the city’s two biggest NHL stars. I can’t wait to snap selfies with my ex’s idols and rub it in his face.

Rule number one for a professional matchmaker? Don’t fall in love with your client. I screwed that up when I fell for my best friend, Reid Fortino. He’s gorgeous, successful, and sexy as hell. I figured it would be easy to find him a match - and save the family business at the same time. But the more time I spend attempting to find the perfect girl, the more I realize how much I want him for my own.

He was the gifted guitarist destined for big things. I was the small-town girl battling her demons. He was my earth, always keeping me grounded. I was his sky, always just out of his reach. Our love was everything I wished for—until I destroyed it.

What I meant to do: quietly divorce my lout of a husband and then have a child all on my own. What happens instead: my crush comes back to town when I’m at my most vulnerable. After too many cocktails, I ask him to be my baby’s father. In my defense, it’s been a rough couple of months. Seeing Matteo Rossi again after 14 years has done a number on my emotions. And my libido. In the morning, I’m hoping he’s forgotten the whole thing. But no such luck. In fact, Matteo has a few clarifying questions. And a few naughty ideas, too....

When his ex-fling and mother of his daughter travels abroad for work, Asher is thrilled to get to have uninterrupted time with his daughter Olivia - but the nanny agency last minute lets him know that they can't find a nanny near his small town that does ASL, which is a requirement since Olivia is Deaf. Luckily for him, Phoebe - an audiology doctoral student who is trained in ASL and is also his bosses daughter - is home for the summer and agrees to spend the time nannying for him. The chemistry between them was palpable and there was the kind of tension that became electrifying once they gave in. There is a little bit of back and forth with them since their relationship would be inappropriate to many people and she isn't sticking around long and they don't want Olivia to get attached, but they're upfront and communicative about wanting each other and when their resolve crumbles, it makes the result even better.
I loved that there was a healthy co-parenting relationship between Asher and his ex (Sara) and that there was no drama there. They never loved each other but there was no animosity - they both prioritized Olivia and had a mutual respect as co-parents but also there own romantic lives. Sara never felt threatened by Phoebe or tried to intervene in Asher's relationship - she was super happy for them and the three of them always showed up for Olivia. There was no parental friction or pettiness there, which is something I wish more single parent romance books had.
I also loved that Asher supported Phoebe's dreams - he does not want her to give them up for him, even though it makes the future of their relationship harder to predict. He knew she had ambitions before she met him and he was not about her giving them up for him. They worked together to pave a path forward that allowed her to accomplish them without too much strain on the relationship and that was really nice to see. Their romance was just so loving - Asher is so protective of Phoebe and she is so supportive of him too. Their care for each other was obvious. The spice in the book was good, particularly because of Asher's dirty mouth.
I first read the book and then listened to the audiobook and the audio made the story even better - the narrators were smooth and fit the characters so well. They really pulled me into the story and kept me riveted from start to finish!
** I read the book first on my own and received a free review copy of the audiobook after from Valentine PR. Decision to review is my own **
