Heart Strings & Hotlines

Single Dad Hotline, Book 3

De: Avery Maxwell

Narrado por: Rose Dioro, Darren Eliker

From Amazon best-selling author Avery Maxwell comes a small-town billionaire romance with a single dad hero who doesn’t quite fit in, tender neurodivergent representation, and a heartfelt friends-to-lovers journey that turns an unexpected connection into a love worth fighting for.

The job was everything. It’s been my heart, my soul, and my proprietary programming that’s made the Single Dad Hotline a multi-million-dollar enterprise.

And that makes me a target.

I know better than to trust anyone. I keep my staff and clients at a distance. The one time I slip up, it had to be with him. Boundary-ignoring, single-minded billionaire Thane Wilder. The man has never met a rule he didn’t question and now he’s questioning every single one of mine.

I’m fighting corporate espionage. He’s trying to win over a rebellious teenage sister and just brought the battle to me by buying the house next door. Neither of us has time for a relationship, so I’m going to have to be the logical one and deny our chemistry.

I refuse to be charmed by the intensity of his attention, and there’s no way I’m even considering his proposition…even if it is intriguing. He might say that he wants me for me, but I know he’s keeping something from me.

And if there’s one thing I know for certain, it’s that secrets ruin everything.

Outstanding narration

Lovely heartwarming story! And I loved everything about Rose D’Orio and Darren Eliker’s Performance. Just wonderful

Lottie & Thane - Such a GOOD story!

Excellent narration, I thought this was SO GOOD!

I don't have personal experience with SPD but it seems to me that Avery Maxwell did a stellar job in her approach.

Thane Wilder is a billionaire with SPD. He's also recently become guardian to his sister, since his father is a POS. That led him to Charlotte and her Single Dad Hotline & nanny matching business.

I did think I would be a little put off by the "scuttlebutts" but they were surprisingly not as intrusive as I was afraid they'd be.

Charlotte's strong and independent and just wants to know that she can handle all the twists and turns of her life, even if her father was also a POS. Thane is trying to learn how to better manage being around people but you know, they all accept him for who he is and are generally kind if they feel he needs a little correction or nudge.

There's a LOT more than that, but you'll just have to read the book to find it all out.

I really enjoyed reading this one.

Sweet Scale: 5/5
Spicy Scale: 4/5

Powerful!

There’s no other narrator who could do justice to Thane Wilder’s neurodivergent brilliance than Darren Elliker. And Rose Dioro as Charlotte Sinclair? Perfection.
I loved this book the first time I read it, and I love it even more as an audiobook. Thane and Lottie’s combined tech genius is so much fun to learn about. And Thane’s absolute inability to navigate small-town regular folk is hysterical. Ms. Maxwell conveys Thane’s personality without hitting us over the head with it, and Lottie’s sweet understanding of not only Thane, but Thane’s little sister makes for some powerful moments! I love this book!
