With no choice but to try and risk the impossible, Coach Johnson hires a babysitter to look after Nate.

She's stunned when she finds out she'll be taking care the infamous troublemaker, Nate Thomas, aka TNT.

review

book 1 was good. started slow but caught up fast reading book 2 now yay

Enjoyed this Football Hero Story

Someone recommended this book and it took me a while to get into it. However, that was my loss. It is a great story. Nate is a big kid. I know many of them. However, although he acts adolescent, he is a very talented quarterback. The idea of him having a nanny is a bit preposterous. However, it works in this story. Amanda comes along and she is a bit screwed up to take such a job. Their romance has it's ups and downs, but in the end... The narrator did a great job. I couldn't stop listening, so I got the next in the series with my Romance Package.

Not her best

Gotta say, I was looking forward to this series and I’ll listen to the next two books BUT the writing is like an unseasoned author.
Narration is adequate but I don’t care for his female portrayal.

FUN READ

What made the experience of listening to Troubled Nate Thomas the most enjoyable?

nate was always in trouble, but it didnt seem to bother him at all. the narrator was good.

What did you like best about this story?

i enjoyed the bantering between the characters, ending in uncomfortable cooperation.......well, attempting cooperation.

Have you listened to any of Benjamin Cartwright’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

not sure

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes

Funny situations

This is really fun romance. Amanda needs money and to get out of her apartment because of her roommate so she accepts a babysitting job. She really gets surprised when the individual she is to babysit is Nate. Not a child but a member of the Denver Broncos’. He is the stereotype reckless bad boy. Together they get into some of the funniest situations. The story flow is constant. The characters are likable. The Narrator, Benjamin Cartwright does a good job of making you see what is happening. I’m anxious to read the next in the series. This first of the series and does end in a cliffhanger.

Meh

I just could not connect with the characters or story. Sadly, this was a DNF for me.
