Publisher's Summary

A powerful attorney, a woman with a heart too big for her own good, and an instant family neither was prepared for...

Garrett Bradley commands the attention of some of the most influential clients in the country as one of the leading corporate attorneys in New York City, but one phone call changes everything. He must return home to Hallbrook, NH, where he soon discovers he’s responsible for three young kids and one monster-sized Saint Bernard.

April St. James, the social worker assistant assigned to the children’s case before Garrett’s mother adopted them, was staying with the children until Sarah Bradley’s prodigal son returns home to take up his responsibilities. Unfortunately, it puts her own job in jeopardy.

A powerhouse in the business world but clueless when it comes to children, Garrett turns to April with an offer she can’t refuse, enticing her to come to the city as a temporary nanny. The deal will allow her to finally pursue her dreams once the job is done.

But three kids, a dog, a nanny, and an uptight attorney don’t mix well in a fancy NYC penthouse. And when Garrett makes a mistake at work, he realizes somethings got to give before the situation destroys his reputation, the company, and most importantly, his new family.

Wonderful Storytelling

This was my first audiobook (or book) by Elsie Davis. And it won’t be my last! The story was about three orphaned children...but I don’t want to give anything away. Really fun performance by both adults and especially the children. I finished it in one day it was so good!

A 3.5 stars sweet story

This audiobook starts the Hallbrook series and centers around Garrett Bradley and April St. James.
Garrett is a top notch attorney in NYC whose life is suddenly turned upside down when he’s entrusted not only three young children but also a lovable , but also slightly unruly St. Bernard.
April had been the social worker assigned to the case prior to them being adopted by Garrett’s Mom. When his Mom passes, April is taking care of the children until Garrett’s arrival. The man who is now the legal guardian of the kids. To say he was shocked, unprepared and clueless, is putting it mildly.
Watching the trials and tribulations of the kids, the dog, Garrett and April was at times funny and crazy.
This is a sweet, clean story very much in the style of Hallmark. Not earth shattering, but good to listen/read in an afternoon of leisure.
