About this listen

A retired SEAL is about to face his toughest assignment yet. As a nanny...

Fixer. Bodyguard. Advocate. Brann Calder is expected to play all these roles and more as a member of Torus Intercession, a security firm guaranteed to right what’s wrong. In the military, catastrophe was his specialty. Five months out of the service, Brann is still finding his way, so a new assignment might be just what he needs. Unless it includes two things sure to make a seasoned, battle-trained veteran nervous: life in a small town, and playing caregiver to two little girls.

Emery Dodd is drowning in the responsibility of single fatherhood. He’s picked up the pieces after losing his wife and is ready to move on now, hopeful that his engagement to a local patriarch’s daughter will not only enrich his community but will grant his daughters some stability, too.

The only thing standing in Emery’s way is that he can’t seem to keep his eyes - and hands - off the former soldier he’s hired to watch his girls until the wedding.

Emery’s future is riding on his upcoming nuptials, but being with Brann makes him and his family feel whole again. Too bad there’s no way for them to be together.

Or is there?

Enjoyable story

I was looking for something warm and relaxing to listen to without much angst or devastation and it was very difficult to find one that also had a good narration. As soon as I played the sample I started to relax. This is a great, heart warming story, with just enough action and drama to frustrate the path of romance and create a few chuckles.

Trigger warning: this deals with themes of grief and loss, of a mother and wife but is handled well by the author.

Great to relax to

there are only a few bad things about this book, the mc sometimes goes very out of character and gets extremely distracted by stupid things when important information it being given to him this leads to him constantly interrupting other characters and ignoring important details. the only other thing is the narrator is a bit bland for the roll

good book

Brann seemed far too perfect for me, it just did not work. An ex navy Seal, an only child with no experience of dealing with children was able to charm two grieving children within the space of an afternoon? I don't think so.
Emery constantly touching Brann when he's engaged to be married to a woman, even though it's a marriage of convenience just didn't sit well with me.
Brann's actions at the football match seemed a bit heavy handed to me.
There were just too many other negatives, it just didn't ring true and the narrator didn't bring it to life for me either.

Sorry, but his just didn't work at all for me

with less than 2 hours to go I'd normally stick it out but honestly I'm so done. Half the conversations make no sense and are just irritating as hell listening to people deliberately misunderstand, talk over each other or just never get to the point. every time something happened the main character had to stop and have an inner monologue about it that felt like it lasted 3 pages, and then immediately do it all again. The thing I stuck with it for was the way the children were written. Their characters , behaviour and experience of grief were excellent and I was deeply invested in them. Shame the rest of the book was not on par.
