About this listen
She’d lost almost everything…until a family found her.
Canny, well, she goes by her last name because Rose never fit her anyway, is getting by week to week–and sometimes, table to table–after dropping out of art school. So what if she's talented. Life isn't supposed to work out for the daughter of an addict and get-rich-quick (get-broke-quicker) schemer.
Still Canny believes in humanity and helps out an overwhelmed mom of three, Ella, struggling to enjoy a meal out with a useless husband, Callahan. Ella offers Canny a nanny job, but she has reservations–and no idea what a nanny does. Of course, she falls in love with the Three Amigos, and can’t believe her luck with Ella’s generous offer.
She soon finds herself falling for Ella too. Useless Husband’s philandering pushes them together...but then drives them apart. Will her lost chances and found family go the distance or end in agony ever after?
Tropes: age-gap, divorce/infidelity; nanny romance; toaster oven, primary character with intellectual disabilities

Story
Top neurosurgeon Samantha Thomson needs to get married fast and is tightlipped as to why. And with over $200,000 on offer to tie the knot, no questions asked, cash-strapped ER nurse Hayden Perez isn't about to demand answers. The deal is only for a year of marriage, but Hayden's going into it knowing it will be a nightmare. Sam is complicated, rude, kind of cold, and someone Hayden barely tolerates at work, let alone wants to marry. The hardest part is that Hayden has to convince everyone around them that they're madly in love and that racing down the aisle is all they've ever wanted.

Story
Billie Rush can't stop writing pop songs. The kind of songs that her rock band, The Shrikes, would never play. Billie's new songs and sound need an outlet, but she's not just going to give them away to anyone. Vero De Luca is always in the limelight for making mistakes. Though she knows she's fully capable of writing her own songs, the label insists that her first single needs a major name behind it. Both women think that working together sounds like a match made in hell. Though they can hardly stand each other, sparks start to fly when they're writing the new single, "Undone".

However, the narration completely sucks. It is AI generated Virtual Voice, and it fails miserably. The virtual voice reads the book straight without any passion or voice acting. For example, when a character is in the throes of a monster orgasm the AI just reads the words and has no idea what they should sound like.
There’s a lot of work needed for the so-called virtual voice before it will be ready for a book like this.
Had I known the audiobook narration was going to be so bad I would have just bought the print edition. But, having said all that, I will say that if you choose this book, choose it for the wonderful story. Just be advised that the narration is going to suffer a whole lot.
The Virtual Voice narration is horrible but the story is great
