About this listen
Keep it simple, stupid.
After spending his whole life taking care of his family, Fernando Lopez is ready for simple. His younger brothers have grown up and moved out of the house. His mom is stable—or as close to stable as she’s ever going to get. He’s even got a shot at his dream job if he can just play his cards right.
Everything is going great until one morning, Fer finds a baby in his kitchen. And not just any baby—his brother Chuy’s infant daughter. With Chuy nowhere to be found, Fer finds himself back in the role of caregiver.
Determined not to let the new arrival disrupt his plans, Fer hires a manny to help him, and he gets more than he bargained for. Zé is sweet, patient, and…hot. Which is definitely not something Fer was prepared to deal with. Worse, Zé seems determined to show Fer that simpler isn’t necessarily better, and that there are some things in life worth fighting for. But for Fer, saying yes to Zé might mean saying no to his family—and Fer has never said no to his family.

Ashe's writing style is witty and engaging, filled with witty banter and heartfelt moments. The characters are endearing and relatable, each with their own quirks and insecurities. The author expertly balances the humour with genuine emotion, creating a story that is both funny and touching.
Despite being funny at times, this book also touches serious themes like manipulative behaviour, emotional abuse and tragic backstories.
Liam Lambert's narration is exceptional, bringing the characters to life with his expressive voice and nuanced performance. His ability to convey the emotions and tension in the story enhances the listening experience, making it easy to become immersed in Fer's world.
Fer and Zé, what a couple!

This narrator is new to me, and I liked him for this story. I appreciated the use of different accents (without them sounding stereotypical)
Perfect from the start

I adore Auggie – Fer and Chuy’s younger brother. He’s in Missouri – far away from his hometown in California. Far from the disaster that is his family. He’s got a husband, a daughter, and friends. Yet still, older brother Fer is forever interfering.
Now I know why. Fer’s got some big problems. I’d known their mother was a piece of work – although how bad I don’t think even I’d realized. I knew about Chuy’s addiction, but not how bad it is. Fer’s left holding this family together with sheer grit and a bit of duct tape that’s fraying.
He’s on his way to visit Auggie when he finds a baby in his kitchen.
A baby.
With Chuy in the wind.
And his mother on her way out the door for a cruise with her boytoy who is way younger than Fer.
So, of course, Fer is left holding the bag. Or, in this case, the baby. He abandons his plan to visit Auggie and steps up to the plate. He knows how to do this. When he was practically a kid himself, he took care of both Auggie and Chuy. My heart breaks for the boy who never had a childhood and the man who has sacrificed everything. He’s on the verge of career success and now he’s knocked back yet again by his family’s determination to not take responsibility for their actions (Auggie being the exception).
He needs a nanny and is relieved when Zé shows up.
But things aren’t as he expected. Like that Zé isn’t what he claims to be. That Fer, who is very straight, is attracted to the very gay nanny.
Zé also has a story. Guys like him always do. And it’s a tough one.
Somehow, the men must come together to care for a baby. Somehow, they’ve got to sort their stuff out to move on with their lives instead of getting stuck in very unproductive ruts.
This is a book about love. About caring. About perseverance. About how to move forward when everything feels impossible.
All with a little baby who needs people who love her.
There was no mystery in this story. No suspense. No violence. Very different from any other Gregory book I’ve read before. I enjoyed the softer side and finally getting Fer’s story. He and Zé are perfect for each other.
Liam Lambert is a new-to-me narrator and I thought he was fantastic. I truly enjoyed this one.
