Wanted: A Nanny Who’ll Put Up With My Unsportsmanlike Conduct

When my balancing act between being a single dad to a toddler and a rugby union captain starts to falter, I’m forced to do the unthinkable: hire another nanny.

I’m already on thin ice with the agency because of my grumpy, overbearing micromanagement so Harper is my last chance. He’s clever, kind, caring, not to mention gorgeous, and I’m already antsy because he’s so capable he makes me feel useless. But Harper also has a core of steel and when I push him, he pushes back.

He makes me feel seen, like I’m more than a parent and a captain, and soon I’m falling for the man who’s brighter than sunshine.

I shouldn’t want him, even when it’s clear he feels the same. But maybe it’s time to throw caution to the wind for once and do the irresponsible thing.

It might get me everything I’ve ever wanted.

DNF

I like the idea of the story and it had a lot of good reviews, but I didn't care for the narrator. I have listened to this narrator before and enjoyed him but this time I found him rather lackluster and his lack of different voices between the two main characters left me confused at times as to who was talking. I got halfway through, but I just finally gave up because there also wasn't much of a story and it was a little slow for my taste.
