The Live-In Temptation

Steele Brothers of Starlight Cove, Book 2

By: Brighton Walsh

Narrated by: 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!

Soooo good

Omg!! This book was so good. The little kid character was just too cute, but the voice actors were just perfection…specially Connor Crais…so sexy and manly and overprotective. Overall amazing.

Glitter Grump

I loved everything about this book!!! The narrators were amazing. Nothing better than when a grumpy firefighter falls hard for the chaotic glitter bomb. Loved being back at Starlight Cove. Emma was just the sweetest. Sparks were definitely flying between Xander and Chloe.

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.

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.
