About this listen

From #1 Amazon and USA Today Bestselling Author Bella Matthews comes a single dad, grumpy/sunshine, sports romance.

Falling for the grumpy, single dad next door wasn’t on my summer to-do list.

Did I mention he’s also a football god? A really hot one? Because he is.

Becoming said baller’s new nanny?

Yeah, I definitely didn’t see that one coming.

But nothing about Maverick Beneventi was ever what I expected.

He’s the embodiment of every broody book boyfriend I’ve ever loved, wrapped in deliciously sexy muscles and covered in beautiful black ink. All scowls and sharp edges, I was sure he hated me.

Until one mischievous puppy, one rainy night, and one unexpected job offer changed everything.

Now, my days are filled with bedtime stories and butterfly kisses, all thanks to the one person who can bring Maverick to his knees—his little girl, Rosie.

He doesn’t do complications. Or fun. Or anything that could make him smile. But somewhere between late-night talks and lingering touches, stolen glances and quiet moments . . . something changes, and I did the one thing I swore I wouldn’t.

I fell in love.

With Maverick. With Rosie.

With the life I was sure I’d never have.

And with summer slipping away and my heart on the line, I have to decide—stay and fight for the family I never saw coming . . . or walk away before I destroy it all?

I absolutely devoured this one! It was everything I love about a single dad romance!

Ava Erikson has such a sunshine voice and I love listening to her bringing characters to life! Emmie is sweet and a little bit sassy and I love that Ava captured that absolutely perfectly!

Tor Thom is also one of my favourites! And his grumpy gruff voice really captured Mav’s personality! He captures that protective grump nature so incredibly well!

This one might be my favourite in the series!!

just when you think the emotions can't be upped...this amazing tale encaptures you.

If you've read the story already you know the reason but if not, boy you're in for a treat.

This story plays with your emotions and the narrators bring something uniquely beautiful to the fore.

I heard this as if I'd never read the tale before and let me tell you there is nothing more special then reading a story for the first time specially a Matthews one.

enjoy!
