About this listen

WANTED: Nanny who will put up with an infuriatingly grumpy Irish billionaire.

If you throw an Irish billionaire out of a plane at 40,000 feet, would he fly?
That's the question I ask myself on our flight when Declan Bryne told me that it’d be “grand" if I could stop talking.

I can’t help it. I’m a nervous flyer.
But that should've been my sign to hit EJECT!
Because this is doomed to fail.

He’s a total grump.
He obviously doesn’t like me.
He's too distractingly gorgeous to be around for any length of time.
And he’s made it clear that as soon as he can find another nanny, I’m gone.

But this Minnesota girl is made of tough stuff. I know I can make it through one Irish summer with one sexy Irish curmudgeon.

At least I thought I could, until he became that much harder to resist.
The more I work for Declan the more I, unfortunately, realize the truth...
Declan hides an actual, beating heart behind his stormy, gruff demeanor.
The way he is around his adorable niece, Catie, is Hallmark-worthy.
And that accent.
That suave Irish brogue makes my insides melt.

The cardinal rule of being a nanny is to not get involved with the family.
To maintain a professional distance.
Sleeping with Declan would definitely cross that line.

Some rules are meant to be kept.
Others are meant to be shattered.

Exciting news! The Bossy One is even better than before, it was updated in October 2023!

Loved the dual narration of Sean Masters and Suzanne T. Fortin, both perfect for the narration of this book.

Declan may be a self-made billionaire, whose life is not perfect. His sister has admitted herself to a rehab centre. Leaving her daughter Catie in Declan’s care for the summer. Meaning the need of a live-in nanny.

Olivia is a good nanny, who loves caring for kids . She is heading to Ireland to care for a child. Olivia is a nervous flyer, Making her talk more than usual. The passenger next to her is not impressed with her none stop talking. Problem is Declan who is going to be her new employer. .
Declan is a loving uncle, loving brother, businessman and bossy. He starts getting attractive to Olivia . Who drives him mad.

Amazing chemistry, humour, angst and steam.

The narrator, Sean Masters, was a nice touch with that Irish lilt that made Declan more charming. The plot had hints of You Got Mail and Love Actually. It took a bit to warm up to Olivia's character. The end was fine but I am not entirely sure if Declan's revelation of how he can make the relationship work was enough.

Obviously I don’t know anything about Billionaires (or Nannies for that matter), but this story seemed pretty realistic on a “boy meets girl”, reactionary level.

Olivia is a Nanny. She comes across as very opinionated and when we first meet her, we can totally relate to Declan’s reaction and opinion to her!

Declan is a man on a mission when we first meet him, which is why he’s “slumming it” in Economy Class.

It would be cute how they rub each other up the wrong way, grateful to never have to see each other again, meet up again and vow to endure each other (after all it’s only for 2 months), argue, leave, return, argue, leave, if it wasn’t all so very realistic!

This story is engaging and draws you in! She’s far more irritating than he is, but he IS Bossy and intractable, until he’s not…

A good story line about 2 vulnerable people, who are supposed to be the “responsible adults” for a 6 year old girl. What could possibly go right!

This was well narrated by Sean Masters and Suzanne Fortin, although I preferred his narration better than hers and felt that he could have carried the entire story on his own. He has a lovely voice.

I was given this audiobook free, for an honest review. I expected to enjoy it, but I didn’t realise how much I would do so.

Very relatable and engaging characters. The author has another title “The Grumpy One” which unfortunately is not (yet?) on audio. When it comes out, I’d definitely listen to it.
