The Live-In Temptation

Steele Brothers of Starlight Cove, Book 2

De: Brighton Walsh

Narrado por: Connor Crais, Vanessa Edwin

Hiring the chaotic woman I pulled out of a shed fire to be my daughter’s nanny was a bad idea. Letting her live with me? Even worse.

Chloe Bradshaw is too vibrant, too bold, and way too young for me. She’s pure sunshine-in-a-hurricane energy and the exact opposite of the calm, steady influence my daughter needs.

But Emma adores her from the second they meet, and I’d do anything for my little girl. Including sharing a roof with the one woman I shouldn’t want.

Chloe’s the walking definition of off-limits. And one hell of a temptation I can’t stop thinking about.

Between midnight snack run-ins, hair-braiding lessons, and the way she looks in my stolen hoodie, forbidden stopped being a warning and started feeling like a dare.

I swore I wouldn’t cross that line with her. Then I did. Again. And again.

And now, what we both swore was only temporary is starting to feel like it could be real. Suddenly, I’m not just her boss or her landlord. I’m the guy threatening to burn down anything that hurts her.

But the end date of our arrangement is looming, and her suitcase is still half-packed. She says she’s not staying. I say she’s already mine.

Oh such a good story and beautiful

Love the way it was written and how you could feel the gradual change and watch of them falling in love. The narrators did amazing!

Lighthearted love story

This book has been my favorite so far. Single grumpy dad falls in love with hurricane Chloe which he promptly nicknamed Chaos. She in turn ensnared their hearts, his and his daughter Emma.. enjoyed the humorous banter between the Steele Siblings and most of all the spunky darling Emma. Off to the next book. It brightened my day with the lighthearted content. The narrators were great.

On Fire!!🔥🔥

Xander and Chloe are absolutely perfect together! I loved how beautifully they balanced each other—their strengths and vulnerabilities fit so seamlessly, making their connection feel so real. The chemistry between them was off the charts, and every interaction had me swooning. This romance was heartfelt, addictive, and impossible to put down. I found myself completely invested in their journey from the very first page, and I didn’t want it to end. Such a wonderfully written love story—I couldn’t get enough of this couple! 💜💙

Great Story

Xander is a delicious and incredibly skilled at dirty talk. I thoroughly immersed myself in the book, and the narrators were exceptional. The story revolves around tropes such as small-town romance, firefighters, single dads, and nannies. It features a grumpy Sunshine with a touch of glitter. It’s a must-read, with a spicy but heavy plot.

A man brought to his knees

Emma was absolutely precious and I loved getting to see her come out of her shell. The way these characters danced around each other and finally gave in to their temptation was so fun.

Grumpy finds his sunshine

5⭐️ 3🌶 5🎧

Xander, Chloe, and Emma are the cutest family. I absolutely love a single dad and nanny story and make him uber grumpy and her chaotic sunshine, and I'm really in my happy place. Brighton Walsh really knows what she is doing with a grumpy mmc and an fmc that can bring him to his knees and keep him there often (IYKYK).

Xander is a surprise, sudden single dad who moves back to his hometown to be near family to help raise Emma. This man is so swoony just for his caretaking and love for his daughter.

Chloe lives by the beat of her own drum, trying to take the bull by the horn with lots of glitter thrown in. Chloe is exactly what Emma needs after losing her mom so suddenly. Chloe is the bam.to Emma's soul and helps this little girl live life in full color. Emma and Chloes relationship dare I say maybe my favorite of the book.

Xander and Chloe are absolutely hilarious together due to his grumpy to her sunshine, and I absolutely live for it. The pacing of their relationship is wellndone and totally worth the ride. I love them together. They will have you laughing, crying, and sweating. The way Xander sees Chloe and cares for her is top tear.

I can't wait for the next brother. This series is coming up aces so far.

This audiobook was perfect. no notes Vanessa Edwin and Connor Crais really do this story justice. I love the feel they put into the story and all of the voices they pull 6 with this.full.cast of characters in this series. Vanessa really killed it in this book. I think it's my favorite of hers.

Incredible

BRIGHTON!!!!! You broke me. Oh my, oh my, did you break me and these narrators executed it perfectly. Holy sobbing in my bed, ugly crying. But oh did you stitch me back together so well. Thank you. This story was sooooooo beautiful 😭🥹❤️

Wow!

Anytime I open a book penned by Brighton Walsh, I know I am in for a good time and The Live-In Temptation is no exception. Her style checks all the boxes: witty banter, friend tribe, chemistry that will melt your e-reader, and heartfelt emotion. Chloe’s inner dialogue is as hilarious as Emma is adorable. The narrators do a fantastic job of giving life to the characters and their voices compliment each other attractively.

LOVED IT!!!!

In The Live-In Temptation by Brighton Walsh, narrated by Connor Crais and Vanessa Edwin, a grump's orderly life is hilariously upended by a dose of pure sunshine. Fire Chief Xander Steele, a single dad, is desperately in need of a nanny for his daughter, Emma. He finds an unlikely candidate in Chloe Bradshaw, a "chaotic woman" he literally just rescued from a shed fire. Despite Chloe being too bold, too vibrant, and too young for him, Emma instantly adores her, and Xander makes the questionable decision to hire her and let her move in. This choice quickly proves to be a terrible idea, and the excellent narration by Connor Crais and Vanessa Edwin perfectly captures the delicious tension and emotional depth of their forced proximity.

Chloe is the walking definition of off-limits—a chaotic burst of energy—but she becomes an irresistible temptation that Xander can't stop thinking about. The dual narration brilliantly highlights the internal thoughts of both characters as their daily interactions, from midnight snack run-ins to hair-braiding lessons, blur the line between professional and personal. What started as a temporary arrangement begins to feel like something real, and Xander finds himself no longer just her boss, but the guy who will do anything to protect her.

This is a story of a chaotic sunshine heroine and her grumpy, soft-hearted hero. The witty banter between Chloe and Xander, amplified by the narrators, is a definite highlight. Their chemistry is scorching, and the story doesn't shy away from the heat. Little Emma, with her spunky and larger-than-life personality, steals every scene she's in. The narrative also weaves in the hilarious interactions of the broader Steele family, giving the story a heartwarming sense of community and "found family."

Brought to life by the voice talents of Connor Crais and Vanessa Edwin, this captivating single-dad, nanny romance perfectly balances humor, spice, and heartfelt emotion. It's a story of finding yourself and learning to lean on the ones you love.
