Resumen del Editor

Billionaire. CEO. Single dad. And for the next seven days, this arrogant hunk is going to be my boss.

Easy, right? All I have to do is be a good nanny to Leif Sorensen's adorable, hell-raising, ballet-loving daughter. Keep my head down, my hands to myself, and forget about this silly crush I've been nursing for the past six years.

So he's big, and blond, and he stars in all my not-so-innocent "Hot Viking Ravages Innocent Maiden" fantasies? Who cares? Certainly not me. Nope.

My week-long contract is my ticket out of trouble, and I'm not going to mess it up. This payday is about to solve a lot of my problems. Then I'll move on.

Except . . . Leif has other ideas. Like, for example, when he tugs me into a spare room and demonstrates how similar his fantasies are to mine. It's purely intellectual, of course. We're just comparing notes.

But when my contract is over, I realize that I might have gotten myself into trouble instead of out of it. See, I've gone and fallen head over heels for my billionaire boss. And I do it before I realize what he's hiding from me . . . Oh—then I find out I'm pregnant.

Contains mature themes.

I really enjoyed reading this author.  I look forward to reading more books by this author in the near future.

EXCELLENT NARRATORS!!

Billionaire Leif Sorenson is a single father to 7 year old Isla. He is in need of a Nanny for one week as Isla's regular Nanny has to take a week off. Leif hires Layla Reynolds, whom we first read about in bk1 of the series Big Bossy Mistake.

Layla's mother walked out on her and her sister when she was only 16 years old. Leaving them alone to fend for themselves. Layla took on the responsibility of raising her baby sister with a bit of help from her grandparents. They are so destitute Layla works 3 jobs just to support her and her sister. Her sister is now in college. She is a genius working toward a medical degree at 17 years old.

Layla and Isla get along very well and Leif has these physical attractions to her and soon finds himself totally in love with her. When Leif finds out the poor conditions Layla is living in he brings her and her sister to his Manhattan Penthouse which he uses only on occasion when he is stuck in the city for work. Layla was in love with Leif when they first met 6 years prior in a bar that she was working in. She doesn't think he remembers her.

The story and all the characters are very well written. Leif and Layla have a hot sensual relationship. They also, have a strong working relationship that builds between them over the entire story!

Love the story but…

I love the story but female reader not so much. Unfortunately, she read most of this story. She sounded like she’s out of breath while reading. Other than that, I have no complaint.

I like this one!

This one is definitely better than the first one. Although Shaina (female narrator) is still a sticking point for me - the enunciation of the end of words to try to sound like an accent is annoying. Not enough to stop me from going in the series, however!

DNF hated it!

I can’t I just can’t. Male narrator sounds like he smokes a carton a day and is 60. Story jumps all over I just can’t. Unfortunately I wasted a credit on this. It’s awful! Do not waste your time on it!

Not for me. Too repetitive.

Both MCs have their hang-ups, and we discover what they are very early on. The problems for me was the times these hang-ups were repeated over, and over, and over, and over, and over... After the third time we get the idea, no need to go on, and on, and on, and on...

If it had not been for that, and the female narrator, I might have enjoyed the story a bit more. Stephen Borne's narration was very enjoyable, but not enough of it.

Please don't let my less than stellar review keep you from listening as we may have different views about it. This audiobook was just not for me.

Big bossy fun.

Big Bossy Trouble is the second book of the Manhattan Billionaires book. The story is about Leif, a developer and single dad. He is in need of a temporary nanny for his daughter Isla. He specifically requests Layla per his daughter after they all met at a birthday party (scene found in first book Big Bossy Mistake). Layla is struggling to make a decent life for her and her sister Emma after their parents abandoned them and left them with their grandparents. Oh and speaking of their grandparents, they are about to loose their house to a new building development. Layla and Leif had an immediate connection and each day that passes with the two of them, the tension grows thicker and thicker. The two eventually give in to their temptations, and while it feels like life is finally giving Layla a break it all comes crashing down epically.

This was a fun read, especially following the first book. Both of which can be read as stand-alone. The spark and tension between Leif and Layla could be felt as if they were standing in the room in front of you. They way Lilian wrote Leifs growth from beginning to end was something I don't often see. Outside of that however, there were a lot of times when things were repeated, even down to the same sentences and phrasing within the same chapter or two. A lot of the plot line was also very predictable. As I said, it was a fun read, I am glad I read it and would recommend to anyone who enjoys billionaire and surprise pregnancy books.

This book was narrated by Shaina Summerville and Stephen Borne, both of who were new narrators to me. I enjoyed both their narrations, Shaina a little more than Stephen. but nothing about wither of their performances really blew me away. I would not say no to listening to them in the future, but as of right now I would not seek out specific narrations by them.
