The House Mate

By: Kendall Ryan

Narrated by: Ava Erickson, Sebastian York

What's sexier than a bad boy? A bad ass man who's got his shit together.

Max Alexander is nearing 35. He's built a successful company, and he's conquered the professional world, but he's never been lucky in love. Focusing so much time on his business and raising his daughter, adulting has come at the expense of his personal life.

His social skills are shit, his patience is shot, and at times, his temper runs hot.

The last thing he has time for is the recently single, too gorgeous for her own good young woman he hires to take care of his little girl. She's a distraction he doesn't need, and besides, there's no way she'd be interested. But you know what they say about assumptions?

Dang that was good!

I really loved this book! I finished it in a day which was easy because it's kinda sort compared to 10-24 hour audiobooks. I loved Max and Addison. It was a cliche done perfectly. I found myself laughing through out the audio. I LOVE Sebastian York's and really like Ava Erickson's performance. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Cute story

It was a cute story and a wonderful happily ever after. Max was a single man avoiding commitment when he came home one night to a woman dropping off his 1 year old daughter and leaving for good. While he was a sworn bachelor, he had no problem leaping into action and doing all he could for th beautiful girl with his dimples. This definitely meant getting a nanny....Addison. Addison fell in love with baby Dillan as soon as Max opened the door for her interview. Dillan leaped into her arms and there was an instant connection. While watching this exchange, Max was sold and she was hired...despite the fact that he felt an instant attraction to Addison as well. I enjoyed watching it all unfold. There were a few twist and turns but nothing drama filled. Cute story.

Whirlwind romance but still delicious!

I really enjoyed this story, just like I have all the other books in this series. It is yet again another whirlwind romance though. I love that the story got right to the point, that this playboy has his world turned upside down within the first few pages. But I do also wish that there was more development for the characters. He goes from being this single, player with commitment issues to discovering he has a baby and falling for the nanny and wanting to fully commit to her all within a single month, or maybe technically less considering how he was obsessed with her almost immediately. I can understand that his life changed so drastically that maybe it shocked him into changing his ways, but I also think that a guy that has commitment issues isn't going to make such a turnaround in that kind of timeframe lol. But I still loved the story, don't get me wrong, the story is definitely worth reading! The baby is adorable, the nanny is amazing with like the worst ex-boyfriend experience imaginable, and the hero is sexy and levelheaded. Also, like the other books, I did feel this was a bit anticlimactic since there was an issue and it was immediately dealt with, and then there was another issue and it was immediately dealt with...like the climax moments were over within a few turns of the pages, and that always has its pros and cons. I wish we would have seen the hero deal with the "problems" and take actions towards those he needed to, but at least he didn't let anybody get in his way or sway his decisions I suppose. I still loved the overall concept of this story though! Ah, the narrators...I seriously need to create a blog to just talk about the amazingness that is Sebastian York. Or just have my thoughts on him saved somewhere for easy copy/paste action lol. I truly love Sebastian York's performances in all that I have listened to. Ava Erickson is also phenomenal and I love her voicing for the male side of things too. I am pretty sure that these two narrators are ones I have listened to the most out of all the narrators out there. I absolutely love them!

Fun ride! Both narrators were awesome too!

Lovely and lusty all in one! This story was a fun read / listen, not much more, but that's all by design so it's hardly a demerit. Both narrators nailed it too. The only complaint I could muster would be that Max's assistant wasn't properly reprimanded; no big deal to an otherwise cute story.

The hot-single-dad-meets-a-beautiful-caretaker premise here is almost as good as Tia Louise's Make Me Yours with Teddy Hamilton narrating... so you see, you can't go wrong with Sebastian or Teddy.

One hot man!

Great--> cute & sexy love story!!!
And as always... (Max) Sebastian York's voice can melt any woman's panty's off!! Loved Ava Erickson's voice too. They compliment each other well.
Great book...
