About this listen
Penny Fennimore is not winning at life. An aspiring writer with a monster-sized case of writer’s block, she’s got bills to pay and barely a dime to her name.
Enter the exclusive Nanny Match Agency and an opportunity to make bank.
The job: a live-in nanny position caring for video-gaming billionaire Rowen Gale’s six-year-old niece.
The problem? Her hot nerd of a boss!
They’re opposites in every way. He’s the king of high-tech, and she uses a flip phone from the digital dark ages. She’s not even sure he’s 100 percent human until their eyes meet and the attraction meter blows through the roof.
She’s got to put the kibosh on her libido.
But the universe doesn’t always play nice.
When Mr. Robot-Bedroom-Eyes goes MIA, she marches up to his fancy-pants video-gaming company to give him a piece of her mind and ends up rewriting his video game's storyline.
Did anyone ask for her opinion? That’s a no!
The positive? She’s writing!
The negative? Her boss needs her to keep it up.
Turns out, this video game requires a complete overhaul, and she’s the only one who can give him what he wants.
Now, she’s not only caring for his niece—she’s with him morning, noon, and night!
And that’s where it gets complicated.
When he looks at her, she gets a glimpse of what’s behind his muted veneer.
Her heart is on the line.
Could this nanny match be the match that changes everything, or will it be game over for the nanny and the nerd?

Even if Theo Monroe has been a pain in my rear since third grade. Even if he should be responsible enough to not wreak havoc at his sister’s destination wedding.

Story
Marrying Beckett Coleman is the best idea I've had in years. I can grant my sick dad’s wish to walk one of his daughters down the aisle, and Beckett has my help solving a custody situation with his daughter. Our plan is to spend a year together, then part ways. Easy, especially since I'm not his type, and he's not mine either. He’s too quiet and too serious. And while he’s distractingly gorgeous, he’s also my brother’s teammate. Beckett is fake husband material, not the real deal. I just have to remember that.

I was a small-town girl with big city dreams and more ambition than money to my name. He had everything—money, privilege, and the world at his feet. Opposites in every way, but that didn’t matter. We were lightning in a bottle, and everything felt possible when we were together. Life was perfect.

Aiden Stone is a six-foot-two former Marine with a permanent scowl, dark hair, and dreamy blue eyes. He’s the oldest of the Stone brothers, and his “by the book” family has battled mine for control of our small town for generations. The last thing I should do is sleep with him. Or nearly run him down with my truck. Especially since he's sort-of my new boss.

I thought my invitation was a birthday present from my best friend. The dress, the limousine, the red carpet...I thought they were meant for me. That was mistake number one. Then my date arrives, all gleaming cufflinks and tousled hair, steely blue eyes, and a body honed to masculine precision. Arrogant. Charming. Panty-melting. And melt, they do. Hanky-panky with a rich hottie in the back room of the event I'm crashing? Don't mind if I do.

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.

It was a heat-of-the-moment agreement scribbled onto the back of a crinkled gas station receipt nine years ago. "If neither of us is married by age 30, we'll marry each other." Haha! So funny! Cash moved to a city 500 miles away, built his billion-dollar empire, and made a name for himself. Me? I stayed in our gossipy hometown, working a simple job and living a simple life. And we never discussed the marriage pact again. But I just turned the big three-oh, and Cash showed up at my door in the middle of a freaking rainstorm.

The Nanny and the Nerd
Heat Level: 1.5/5
Dark Level: 0/5
Story: Well thought out characters that have personality. You have the ups and downs that good books tend to have. Nothing too crazy but kind of predictable.
Narration: Very nicely done. Each character was unique and brought to life.

I love it when the couple truly becomes a team
I love it when the couple truly becomes a team, and that’s the case here. It doesn’t mean the journey to get there is an easy one though.
Penny and Rowen are polar opposite: she has no money, he’s a billionaire; she hates technology, he’s a tech mogul; she feels like no one is in her corner, he has people looking after him; she’s an escapism artist–or will be once she writes that novel–while he’s pragmatism personified. But that’s exactly why they’re made for each other. They fill the other’s missing pieces. It could be seen as too much, but it works.
They meet when Penny is hired to be the nanny to Rowen’s niece–he’s become her guardian. Let’s just say they don’t really see eye to eye at first. But there’s a lot of attraction. None of this is appropriate for a nanny/employer relationship, so of course they ignore it for as long as they can. But along the way, they learn more about each other, until there’s more than just lust.
The learning about each other isn’t easy. While Penny is more or less open–though she hides her self doubts and inner struggles–Rowen doesn’t understand socializing. He’s neurodivergent, and his traumas run so deep, that he doesn’t get social clues, nor does he have normal interactions with people. Including his family.
Family is the theme. Broken families though. Rowen was an orphan, adopted by a loving family, but there isn’t much left of it: brother and father are dead, mother is ill. Before that, his family life was awful. As for Penny, she has troubles communicating with her sisters and mother, feeling like she doesn’t belong. But the message is hopeful though: despite difficult circumstances, family can be a place of support and love, even when you don’t realize it. And it’s even truer of the family you build, like Penny, Rowen and Phoebe.
While the narrator does a great job, I feel like the audiobook would have been better with dual narration instead of solo. The female narrator’s male voice didn’t work for Rowen in my opinion–though she expressed his aloofness pretty well. The conversations were fluid and energetic. Not bad in the end, just not great.

Great start to a series
I loved this book. It had such a unique storyline. I loved kids in books and Phoebe was amazing. Penny and Rowen were perfection and I loved how different they were. They both learned so much from each other and it was wonderful. I loved Penny’s friends and the group of guys as well. The narrator was so good too - she was super engaging for both Penny and Rowen’s chapters. I can’t wait for the rest of the series!

If Elon fell for the nanny
The whole time I was listening to this book, I just kept thinking the main hero was probably based on Elon Musk, lol and what if he was a single uncle and fell for the newly hired nanny he hired for his newly acquired niece?

Love the gaming theme!
I really ended up loving this one! These two characters are opposites but yet compliment each other perfectly. I enjoyed the whole gaming aspect and the cute little wordings that went along with it. I laughed, chucked and was brought to tears (near the ending…whaaa!) while listening to this! It has a large array of characters and the author does an excellent job of endearing them to the reader but doesn't give too much information to leave me wondering. I eagerly look forward to the next in this series! I can only imagine what this author has in-store for the next one. Monica King did a wonderful job with the narration

Incredible storyline and narration! A witty and hot romcom!
Monica King is a new to me narrator but her voice was SO enjoyable to listen to for this romcom! She did such a phenomenal job performing different voices for each character that it didn't even feel like a single narrator audio! From her adorable kid voice to the accent for the nanny matchmaker, she absolutely nailed this narration. An outstanding performance by Monica and totally worth listening to!
“This woman was like the sexy, disheveled version of every gamers’ wet dream.”
A hot quirky billionaire nerd, an adorable niece, and a witty nanny…LOVED this romcom book! It is my first nerd book and I totally need all of them now! Obsessed! The characters, storyline and dialogue were perfectly written by Krista and kept me captivated in this fun, heartwarming story until the very last page! I don’t usually grab for books in 3rd person but when the writing is this good, you don’t even realize it as you are so engrossed in the storyline! It’s a forbidden romance with forced proximity as Penelope becomes a live in nanny with Rowen and his 6 year old niece. The chemistry between them ignites from their first encounter but Rowen has a heartbreaking past that holds him back. Plus, Penelope is also his nanny so he does not want to complicate things.

Amazing
This was definitely an amazing love story and a perfectly Nanny/boss one. Penny and Rowen are a perfect match for Phoebe. I love how their relationship goes and all the nerdy things he do and how Penny falls for him and all his quirks. And how Rowen falls for her without knowing. And Phoebe is the best niece ever. The narrator was amazing, great performance here.

The Nerd and the Nanny
I like that Rowen is a nerdy billionaire and his niece Phoebe was awesome. I also enjoyed the love story between Rowen and Penny but I feel the story dragged on in some places.
Monica King did a pretty good job narrating.
