Blurb:
Only a bad nanny knows what it’s like to kiss the boss.
CEO millionaire, Max Fletcher is a single dad in desperate need of a nanny.
Cozy Barlow is in the middle of her self-appointed “gap year” and doing everything she can to detach from her past.
But when her sister begs her to interview for the nanny position of a high maintenance client, she doesn’t have a good enough reason to say no.
And when Max locks eyes on the twenty-something in a tie-dye sweatsuit who pitches the idea of daydreaming all summer—he prepares to give this bad nanny the boot.
One problem: Max’s little girl thinks this plus-sized in body and spirit nanny might be her new bestie, so she hires her on the spot.
Now Max is stuck with this bizarre woman who hates everything he represents—corporate greed, money, status, power.
But one stormy night when the power goes out, he discovers Cozy doesn’t hate him. In fact, he’s the leading role in her fantasies.
Fantasies, he would very much like to make a reality.

My Thoughts:
This story has everything going for it, right from the start. We have an author that I love to read but love to listen just a little bit more. Add to that the combination of two of my favorite narrators and you’ve got a home run. Having a female character that is comfortable in her own skin, but is self-conscience around others, and a male character that sees beyond her outer shell, and doesn’t care about perfection, makes for a sweet treat.
Cozy has learned the hard way how to make some necessary changes in her life – what an inspiration. Why the changes become apparent as you get further into the book. Our author creates a great introduction and how it becomes important to what follows. Max seems to be set in his ways. He’s all about business when necessary but his heart flips a switch when it comes to family. And he seemed to be older than his years until Cozy and Everly start to interact. Everly becomes very important in how this story moves from chapter to chapter. She made me happy to get to know her.
Mr. Hamilton does a great job when it comes to female characters. Not all men can narrate and have you make the connection that the character is female. Ms. Mallon is the same with the male characters. She has a way of changing her voice that you automatically know which characters are male. Ms. Daws takes her story and includes just a little bit of another series in such a way that if you haven’t read it yet, you’re going to want to by the time you finish Cozy and Max’s story. And she may have you thinking about taking up a hobby and how interesting that the hobby made it on to my local news.
Excerpt:
“Max, I’m going to bed,” Cassandra groans, pulling her cotton robe tightly across her chest as she steps outside and leans against the side of the house. “Let’s just forget this horrible evening ever happened.”
“I can’t forget,” I bark, pointing at my head like a lunatic as I continue to pace. “Because I have a daughter. And knowing that she could grow up someday and have messed-up thoughts about her physical appearance will never be something I’m okay with.”
Cassandra’s brows knit together. “What?”
“What you said about me throwing you over my shoulder earlier? First of all…I could do that. Feel free to challenge me on that. I love a challenge.” I turn on my heel to march the other way. “But second of all, who cares if I couldn’t? Do you think that makes you any less worthy of someone? It doesn’t. It’s a superficial nothingburger of a thing. It tells nothing about the person you are or the beauty you possess.”
I pause to prop my hands on my hips, hitting her with a lethal glare before I deliver the next bit. Her lips are parted, her eyes are wide and glistening in the security light as she falls back against the white siding.
She looks like an angel.
“Third of all, you are not now, nor could you ever be a convenience hook up. In fact, you are the most inconvenient hook up of my life. Which is why I need you to hear the next part.”
“There’s more?” she gasps, her fingers touching her parted lips.
“A lot more, Cassandra,” I growl, my voice echoing off the house as I stalk toward her…
