Story
I didn't want this woman to be my nanny. She had no experience and a failed art career. What did she know about rearing children? She was my late wife's choice, and I didn't too much care for the woman, and she didn't care for me, either. Until all hell broke loose and the nanny was the only one my son could turn to. The only one we could rely on. She kept us going, and then she wanted to leave, too. Not a damn chance.

I wasn't ready for Jacob Clark. He was sin and dark edges, wrapped in regret. He was my Kryptonite. His words oozed over me like warm honey. His dark eyes pricked my soul, and his touch.... Those fingers set my skin on fire. Of course, he was too good to be true. And before I could wipe the icing off my greedy lips, I was walking away. So, why was he invading my dreams?

For Camryn Cox, living a private, purpose-driven, drama-free life is a top priority. And in her opinion, Maverick Woods represents everything opposite of that. He’s social media-famous, ultra fine, and completely irresponsible, making him something like the enemy as far as Camryn is concerned. But everything changes when a surprise moment of passion between the two of them results in a positive pregnancy test. Oops!

Dakota was a finalist on the Invest in the Best television show, and she could nearly clutch the victory in her grasp. Except, one judge, Mr. West, blocked her way to success with his callous and arrogant "No". After giving him some choice words, everything that Dakota knew as life changed. Years later, she runs into that same judge and cannot believe he has the dirty nerve to speak. Her life had completely shifted since the last time they saw each other, but that did not erase her hatred for the man. No. If anything, it made it worse.

I thought I finally had my life figured out. Fate? Destiny? I know mine. But one afternoon questioned everything I thought I knew. Then it happened. Dr. Jason Dupree crashed into my life. His eyes linger on me longer than they should in polite company. You see, there is nothing polite about him. He's arrogant and overconfident. His touch? It's my undoing. I let him know in no uncertain terms that he is not the man for me. He is not my destiny. And his reaction? Totally unexpected.

Now This Is Grown Folks Reading!!!

Publisher's Summary
Kandace Alexander
The work ethic I learned at my mother’s knee propelled me to finish a four-year finance degree in three. This summer was supposed to be my pre-graduation reward, doing nothing but catching up with all the fun my friends had while my nose was to the academic grindstone.
Instead, I’ve been guilted into helping out with the family’s cleaning business. At least there’s a consolation prize. My client is fabulously successful, insanely rich Chadwick St. Clair. We have sort of a history. As a pigtailed kid, I lived to torment him. When I grew old enough to notice his hard-as-steel body, warm eyes, and gentle voice that talked me through some hard times, I crushed on him. Hard.
My first glimpse of him in three years proves nothing has changed. He still makes my mouth water, my hands shake. But our history - and his reputation as a playboy with broken hearts from New Orleans to DC - isn’t the only thing standing between us. And a summer of breathless kisses and addictive encounters may not be enough to build a lasting love.
This is a stand-alone BWWM romance novel.

Loved the story...
The story and the writing by Michelle Karise was great. Loved the concept and how Kandi and Chadwick's love evolved. Now, the narration. This is where I struggled with listening to the story. This takes place in New Orleans, so the characters have some southern/creole accent. Lacy Laurel, the female narrator was hard to listen to. Her "southern" accent felt like she was trying too hard and her voice sounded like she had a breathy cold. I always try to listen with an open mind and keep the speed to normal, but I found myself speeding up her chapters. As for Connor Crais, who played the main male character, Chadwick, he was perfect! His southern drawl was swoon-worthy and the way he changes his voice to play the different male characters were superb! I think Connor is the one that got me through the book and finished it. I think I would have enjoyed this more if Michelle had picked a different female narrator to voice Kandi.

I love his Voice!
So now I have a new favorite voice to listen out for Connor Crais voice is so deep and sexy! Don’t really care for his voice when tries to do the women voices but that just Solidifies that he is ALL man. The book was a really nice HEA. I Love the Epilogue and like the fact that it had both views in it. ( Kandi and Chadwick) The story in my opinion was well developed and has a beautiful ending. I do wish there was a bit of more drama in the bachelor side of Chadwicks life before him and Kandi got married. And part of me do wish Kandi could have been a lil bit more promiscuous. With a lil bit more of detailed sex scenes. But that’s just the hoe in me. 🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️ lol Good Job Michelle. Can’t wait to see what you have in store for us next.

I couldn't finish this book
It was such a boring book. I just couldn't get into it and I tried. I lasted 4 hrs. The narrations of the opposite sex also annoyed me. The voices worked fine with the gender of the narrator but they opposite sex sounded terrible. If the woman had to do male voices and the male narrator had to do female voices.

ok story
I was excited for a story that featured a main character with my name and less common spelling. Hearing Connor Crais voice my name was not a hardship 😏 Overall it was a good story, though a little too much telling rather than showing. Some of the timeline jumped a bit, reinforcing the telling. I also struggled with the dynamic of Celeste and Kandi. I just don't understand the practice of "respect your elders" when the elders are acting deplorable and nearly abusive.

This was an interesting storyline; displayed familiar family dynamics I’m sure we all can relate to one way or the other. Some parts of this book made me laugh out loud. Lacy has the voice of a comedian and made it even funnier. Narrators were good. I enjoyed this book.

Good read but..
So the story line is good, but I just can not with Lacy Laurel's southern accent 😒. I had to stop in the middle of the book because I couldn't take listening to her anymore. However Connor Crais was amazing. This is my first time ever reading Michelle Karise writing and she's amazing as well.
