Publisher's Summary

A USA Today Best Seller

Tori...

For the record, I'm not going to hook up with my boss.

I'm a lot of things - a screwup, a basket case, a flunky. But when I take a nanny job to be near my pregnant sister, I swear to myself I'll walk the straight and narrow, which means I cannot fall for my insanely hot boss.

I don't want to be tempted by that rugged rancher. By his chiseled muscles or southern charm or the way he snuggles his kids at bedtime. Ethan Carter won't get the key to my heart, no matter how much I want him.

Ethan...

Between us, she's the last thing I need as I finalize my hellish divorce. What sane man trying to rebuild his life wants a hot nanny with long, sexy hair, curves for miles, and a smart mouth? A perfectly kissable, pouty mouth that I shouldn't notice.

My focus is on my kids and my ranch, not the insufferable siren who sleeps in the room next to mine. It doesn't matter that she wins over my kids in a heartbeat or runs my life better than I do. Tori Duran is the one woman I can't have and shouldn't want, no matter how much I crave her.

Must listen for romance lovers.

The summary does not do this book justice. If you are looking for a sizzling romance with a tiny bit of angst and a ton of humor, this is the book for you.

This deserves a second book

I chose this book because of the reviews… And without fail this is now one of my favorite books. Between the witty humor and the delicious Ethan this is a great book

absolutely loved this story from beginning to end

phenomenal book, it was beautifully written and the characters grew and developed wonderfully. I loved that she was a strong female lead. I definitely recommend reading this book!

Smoking Hott

Loved it. There were moments that made me blush. Very sexy characters and story line.

Holy hot sex, Batman!

Dear Lawd! Ok, maybe it's because I'm new to romance novels, but hot dang! I almost had to pull over a few times. LOL! Anywho, story line is pretty predictable. After watching so many Rom-Com's it's pretty hard to be surprised. But the main characters are endearing, the villains are just wretched and worthy of throat punching, all the good elements of a romance. Oh and the sex....will set a fire in your loins. Gaaaaaaah! I do wish, however, that the narrators could cross over into each other's chapters to read their respective lines. I just don't see why Savannah has to mimic Stephen's voice. After three chapters of him narrating, to go to hearing her impression of him (and vice versa) is slightly off-putting. But I'm probably splitting hairs here. But I'd love if that could ever be a thing one day.

Absolutely Addicting

I'm not much of a romance reader/listener, but I wanted to try a romance novel. I went under best sellers to find this book. I was concerned that the sample didn't showcase the male reader, but was pleasantly surprised to find his voice enchanting. Despite my trepidation of this experience, the story, the readers, and the enthralling experience has made me desperate to find more by this writer with hopes that they have the same readers next time.
Do yourself a favor, and listen all the way through once. I couldn't not listen again and again afterwards.

Fantastic

This was my first audiobook experience. When I was choosing a book, I was weary of some of the voices being distracting or annoying. When I found this one I was hooked. The characters were painted so clearly and the voices matched so well. I was also on the edge of my seat with what was going to happen and how things would work out. My only criticism is the sister randomly had a pet raccoon mentioned one time. It just bothered me for whatever reason. It was funny, but weird. So if that’s the only critique, you can imagine what a great book this is! Just make sure it doesn’t automatically start playing in your car if you have guests, unless you like steamy scenes being read aloud to your passengers. Enjoy!

✫✫ 4 Stars ✫✫

Great book! I mean single dad, cowboy (kinda), loving nanny...SOLD! I love these characters! Ethan is a great single dad who is close to his family, he's hard working and protective! Tori is a feisty fun girl who is having a rough time in life and needs to find her place. What a better place than in the middle of a pre-made family who can give her everything she needs. I love how she is with the kids during the day and with Ethan at night!

The narration is ok, I felt like it was a little off since this story takes place in Texas I guess I expect them to have accents. Hearing Y'all said without an accent seemed weird to me. Other than that, they are both good narrators!

love it

this story was a happy surprised, I loved it. it had some up and downs but true to the storyline...

Liked the story overall, but this wasn’t my favorite female lead

If the majority of the story had been told from Ethan’s perspective, I think I would be giving this a higher rating. Being in Tori’s head got a bit annoying when she was thinking to herself. She seemed a lot less mature in those moments than how she actually interacted with the kids and handled most of the conflicts related to Ethan’s ex. I much preferred listening to Ethan’s thoughts and the male narrator’s performance. At times the female narrator was so over the top she sounded like a phone sex operator, and I would wish that it was the male narrator delivering that same content from his perspective.

A really heart-warming listen

I really enjoyed this audiobook. I loved the characters of Tori and Ethan. I enjoyed their chemistry, their banter and relationship. The secondary characters within this book also worked really well, and I absolutely enjoyed the world the author created.

Ethan is a single parent going through a divorce, when he meets Tori, who becomes his children's nanny. Tori herself is escaping a toxic relationship. Lots of sparks abound in this story.

This is a low angst, engaging and entertaining audio. A perfect book for those who enjoy a lighter novel, set in small-town USA.

This is a complete standalone story, told in dual pov. Both narrators brought the characters and world to life for me, they really were excellent.

Worth the money

One of the first books I read from Lex Martin and not the last absolutely amazing loved both narrators

Really Boring!!!

I felt that this story could have been shorter and felt the author could have made it better. I got half way through it and couldn’t finish it.

So addictive.

I was engrossed from the first page. This book was so good. The characters were so likeable which draws you in even more. I honestly enjoyed this book so much. I didn’t want it to finish. I cannot recommend this book enough. You will be glad you read it. Trust me!!

Not a bad read

I liked this novel, generally. It was pleasant to listen to, and the protagonist accomplishes something, finally after many years of failing at her life. The plot involves her trying to make something more of herself.

Overall, this is a good read if you enjoy seeing people change, and find their better selves. However, there is also romance and a good amount of it that adds to the story.

Love love loved this book

This book was fantastic. it was so living and sweet with plenty steamy moments. This is s must read. 5 stars all the way
