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.

Wowzers!

I was quickly hooked! As always, Corinne had me falling in love with all of the characters. This book was incredible (I don’t like posting spoilers so I’ll leave it at that) and the audio was perfect!

Funny and romantic

Loved this story! I laughed a lot and was very happy with the steamy scenes also. It is not hard to get into at all.

Sexy Cop Happily Ever After?

This read is definitely like a 🌶️ or 🌶️🌶️ compared to what I usually ready but I can’t complain.
I’m not a fan of the narrators reading each others lines “Ashton impersonating Phoebe or vice versa” but I stuck it out not too bothered.
Nothing beats getting the hot cop and him being head over heels for her, even if her dad is his boss lol
She becomes the nanny for him because his daughter is def and she knows asl.
And I don’t want to give away too much, but this is a nice comfort book. Yes there is some triggers, it’s not all rainbows and “sunshine” lol but overall. A great listen 👏🏼

I could listen to this on repeat

Ok, wow! I freaking loved every second of this book. I cannot even put into words the number of times I laughed, nearly cried, and straight up melted. Zachary Webber and Desiree Ketchum did a truly amazing job with these characters. I loved all of the extra definition they provided to these characters through their voice.
This story was so much fun in so many ways. The enemies to lovers with a bit of forced proximity. The adorable child!!! Oh my gosh I just love a good single dad romance. The dynamic that Asher has with the mother of his child is a masterpiece of its own. I love the Whitlock family and cannot wait to read more of their stories, I can tell there will be some doozies! For now I may just have to restart this one.

Loved it so much!

I could not get enough of Asher and Phoebe and I loved their story. Asher is a single dad in a tough spot when the nanny agency cannot provide a nanny that knows ASL for his daughter. He is left with Phoebe, his bosses daughter and does not trust her from a past babysitting incident. I love the way that Phoebe always challenges him and the relationship that she develops with Olivia. The tension between these two is high and as much as they try to resist each other they can’t. Their story was sweet, fun and full of banter.

Desiree Ketchum and Zachary Webber did an amazing job bringing this story and Phoebe and Asher to life. Desiree was great at portraying Phoebe’s sunshine personality but also her vulnerabilities and the hurt from her past. Zachary was the perfect grumpy single dad, but also brought out Asher’s caring and sarcastic personality. Both of their performances made me love the story even more.

Perfect story

Absolutely loved this.
- Age gap
- nanny/single dad
- bosses daughter
- no third act break up.

Everything was brilliant and so touching. Their story was very heartfelt, sweet and funny. Olivia is precious and her and Phoebe’s bond was so adorable. Asher is a grumpy sunshine who just has a heart of gold.
My first Corrine Michaels book, but definitely won’t be my last. Cannot wait for Grady’s book to come out later this year!

The performance was perfect too! Love me some Zachary Webber and Desiree had so much emotion. 🫶

Amazing

Loved the narrators. The story was really good. It’s a shame that Asher’s friend then Phoebe’s professor didn’t paid for what he did to both girls.
