About this listen

Being a nanny for a newly single dad wasn’t the job I applied for when I decided to lick my wounds in Blossom Peak.

But showing Henley Clark my bare backside wasn’t in my plans either.

When the pursuit of my dream career seemed unattainable, instead of going home and proving my parents right, I made a detour to the small mountain town I remember visiting as a kid.

I just wanted a waitressing job to make some extra money while I figured out my next steps.

But then the lumberjack of an owner begged me to help him with his three month-old daughter that he just found out existed, and I couldn’t resist his plea.

Or his massive physique—the one I saw every detail of when he appeared shirtless in front of me three times in the first week.

The problem with living together though is there’s little space, especially when my boss is so closed off that he’s like a nut I want to crack open.

And when I do, he steals the breath from my lungs—and reignites my creativity as well.

But I gave myself a deadline to figure out what’s next.

Nowhere in that plan though did I account for falling for Henley Clark.

Turns out the heart doesn’t care, even when you’re on borrowed time.

"On Borrowed Time" by Harlow James is part of the "Blossom Peak" series of interconnected standalone romance books.

Henley finds out he has a three months old baby and needs a nanny.
Elodie is looking for a waitressing job but ends up a live-in nanny for the owner of the restaurant.

I enjoyed listening to this story.
The audiobook is narrated in duet style by Connor Crais and Vanessa Edwin.
They did a great job bringing the characters to life and made me feel all the emotions.

The romance is a slow burn even if they are attracted to each other from the start and spending a lot of time together made the feelings develop.
But Elodie is only planning to stay a few months before going back to pursuing her music dreams and Henley is not looking for a relationship.

There is a lot of emotion in this story and I liked the interactions between them.
They get to know each other while taking care of a little girl and becoming a family, even is this is not the plan.
I like that this takes place in a small town and Henley has a group of friends that is more like a family.
He needs to work though his childhood trauma and abandonment issues and his friends are there for him.

It was good to see the characters from the previous book be an important part of the story and I think that at the end I figured it out who the next books will be about.

This is my favorite part of a series, that we get to know the characters before they become the main part of the book.

Great duet audio
