About this listen

A single dad, a model, and a comedian walk into a bar.... They’re all Owen Brodie.
It’s only funny if you aren’t the hilarious struggling comedian who has been hired to be his son’s nanny for the stand-up tour.

Dear Ms. Hogan,

I’m emailing to offer you the job as my son’s nanny because Sam had a temper tantrum when I told him I can’t hire you to come on my stand-up tour with us. “She heckled me at a club a few years ago,” I wanted to say. “She is the sassy little turd who trolls me on Twitter,” I could have told him. “She’s an even bigger pain in the butt when we’re face-to-face,” I thought to myself. What I would never tell him is - things could get complicated. For reasons.

Let me know if you want the job.

With great reluctance,
Owen

#AdorableHowObsessedYouAreWithMe

Dear Mr. Brodie,

Thank you for your email. Please inform Sam that I like him very much and would love to be his nanny and accompany him on your terrible joke of a stand-up tour.

I can assure you - things will not get complicated. For many, many reasons.

Primarily because Owen Brodie isn’t funny, and he can suck it.

Out of financial desperation and a fondness for your son,
Frankie

If I could give this book 10 stars I would. I listened to the audiobook and it was astonishingly good. Not only the story- well written, hilarious and just overall fun, the banter itself is something to behold. As a story about 2 stand up comedians who are enemies, the zings between Owen and Frankie made me laugh out loud. The supporting cast also brought the laughs- the parents, the brothers, the best friend, the uncle and of course, Owen's son- they made up an impressive cast of people with an arsenal of one liners guaranteed for either lots of smiles or belly laughs.

That said, I can't say enough about the narration. This is a true cast narration- done duet style. Some of the best narrators in the business are in this book. But Emma Wilder. Oh my goodness, I always loved her. But her singing and her impersonations? She really stole the book and made this book that should not be missed. And then, add in Teddy Hamilton (sigh), Jason Clarke (sigh), Zachary Webber (sigh), Connor Crais (sigh) and Mackenzie Cartwright (eeee!)? Why are you still reading this review? Just go get this audiobook!! You won't be sorry!! ;o)

Absolutely hilarious and so much fun! Kayley Loring nails the rom-com vibes with laugh-out-loud banter, sizzling chemistry, and plenty of heart. The full cast narration is phenomenal—Teddy Hamilton and Emma Wilder shine, and the supporting voices from Zachary Webber, Jason Clarke, Mackenzie Cartwright, and Connor Crais make it feel like a true performance. One of the most entertaining audiobooks I’ve listened to in a while!

This fabulous book is romantic comedy at its best, Kayley Loring nails it with her witty dialogue and a perfect balance of drama, humor and romance. The story is entertaining and wonderfully delightful, it grabbed my attention right from the start and captivated it the entire time. I loved the originality of the story, the comedic timing is brilliant as is the buildup of the romance. The characters are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with, they were easy to fall for and care about too. Owen Brodie, a model turned standup comedian and a divorced father of one. He is going on tour but needs a nanny to look after his son when he is on stage. She needed a job and was offered one as a nanny for Sam, Owen Brodie’s son. She is not a fan of Owen and has actually heckled him while he performed in a club years ago, and she may or may not have told him off on social media a few times. He would not remember that or know who she was, right? But Frankie, being Frankie, does not hold back, but since she needs a job and that she and Sam bonded, she takes the job, for Sam’s sake. Wow, this is a brilliantly plotted book and is full of so many laugh out loud moments that it should come with a warning label to eat or drink at your own risk, spontaneous laughter may cause you to spit your food or drink out. In addition to the humor the book contains a whole lot of heart, loved the camaraderie amongst the Brodie family as well, the group text messages were awesome. Kayley Loring, thank you for the laughs and the fabulously entertaining story.

🎧📚🎧 And for the amazing lineup of fabulously talented narrators and voice artists. A better cast could not have been chosen to bring these characters and story to life. Teddy Hamilton and Emma Wilder played the two leads, Brodie and Frankie, with perfection, Sam too, their comedic timing and landing was absolutely brilliant. The rest of the star studded cast played the numerous secondary characters. The entire cast did a stellar job portraying the characters, giving each a voice that fit their character’s persona to a tee, sounding believable and real in that role and just as I pictured they would sound. These entertaining storytellers’ performances enhance this already brilliant story to another level.
