Cutie and the Beast

A Roommates to Lovers Single Dad Romance (Cipher Office Series, Book 3)

De: Smartypants Romance, M. E. Carter

Narrado por: Alex Kydd, Stephanie Rose

Living with her mother seemed like a good idea at the time. But Elliott Donovan's living arrangements are not working for her anymore. Desperate to get back on her financial feet after a divorce and out from under her mother's thumb, Elliott takes a job in the child care center at Weight Expectations, a local gym.

It has everything she needs - family friendly hours, more pay than she expected, and a super-cute trainer who just happens to have part of his house for rent.

Abel DiSoto was living the good life until his wife walked out taking half of the family income with her. The blow to his ego was bad enough, but after a fire at the gym scattered Abel's clients, and consequently his commissions, he's stuck figuring out how to make ends meet, too. Renting out the master suite of his house to his new coworker seems like an easy solution. They're both mature adults, they both have eight-year-old daughters, and their work schedules coordinate so they can lend each other a helping hand to ease the burden of single parenthood.

The only downside? Living like a blended family when you're not actually a family can present some challenges.

Contains mature themes.

CUTIE & THE BEAST

This was a cute story. I loved how the two families became one. I had my doubts that it would work, but I’m sure glad to see it did! You may think this is just a plain old story but let me tell you it’s a whole lot more than that. You’re gonna love the characters and the situations that happen they’ll make you laugh. I love to see the grown-ups in the story come together and fall in loveboy what a sexy couple they make so Rita and ladies this is a good one!

So so performance, but a cute story

I’m not going to lie, the female narrator had me almost not wanting keep going once I heard her. But I’m supper glad I did keep going. I laughed through so many chapters and even though I had a hard time understanding their parenting style at first, I was able to see a positive outcome! I guess I loved the fact that a hot younger guy could see deeper into this beautiful older lady, that wasn’t the “perfect” shape. Seriously who of us are perfect? Especially when we get older. Truly an enjoyable book!

Great Smartypants romance with real world issues of single parents

I really enjoyed the plot, characters and performance. My only complaint is that the story's ultimate conflict that Abel and Elliott had to overcome seemed a bit manufactured and too easily resolved. But I was continually engaged and loved the writing/dialogue.

VERY GOOD 👍

I loved everything about this story of a single mother & single father. A lot of the situations fall true to challenges that single parents face. The characters are believable & the narration is also very good!

Fun Ron -Com

The only problem I had with this book was that there were were two or three grammatical errors that made me think the editors were missing something. Either that or the reader was reading it wrong. Not sure which but it was annoying.
