Work Me Up

Riggs Brothers, Book 3

By: Julie Kriss

Narrated by: Jason Clarke, Savannah Peachwood

Baseball player. Single dad. Hot mess. No woman has ever tamed him...until now.

Everyone knows Ryan Riggs - everyone who follows minor league baseball, that is. He's the player with the hair-trigger temper, the bad shoulder, and the smoking-hot looks. He's also a single dad in need of a nanny - which makes him my new boss.

Simple.

Except for one thing: We had a one-night stand five years ago. We're trying to be professional. But it was one of the best nights of my life, and the more I work with him, the more I'm thinking about a repeat.

He's battling his demons, and I might be the only one who can help him win. He's impossible. He's unforgettable. He's unwinnable. Looks like I have my work cut out for me...

Bad Boy of Baseball and the Good Girl!

I have really fallen for these misunderstood Riggs brothers. We've had glimpses of sexy single dad, Ryan, and his adorable son, Dylan, and I couldn't wait to listen to his story. Ryan found baseball to be his ticket out of the harsh life he knew. Now he is injured and may never play baseball again. The bad boy of baseball acts without thinking and that messes up his and Dylan's life. When he hires sexy, Kate as his nanny, he never imagined how much she would affect his life for the better. Ryan and Kate had one passionate night together 5 years ago, but will put that aside for the sake of Dylan. He was deserted on Ryan's doorstep 3 years earlier, and Dylan is afraid that if Ryan has a girlfriend, he will lose this home too. Ryan needs to put Dylan first, and that includes turning to the brothers and town he thought he left behind, but is the only place he feels whole. But how can he leave Kate behind? Kate is smart and has a college degree, but is directionless. I loved how Ryan's quirky family draws her in, and makes her feel accepted and loved. She finally has the support and confidence to find her passion. I love how even tho these brothers had a harsh upbringing, these men are completely loyal, loving, and protective of each other and the women they love.
Savannah Peachwood and Jason Clarke narrate this moving, fun, and passionate story flawlessly. They nailed these characters perfectly, making me feel all the unease, vulnerability, hope, fun, and love they experienced. I was completely lost in their performance!
I have become so invested in this family and am so intrigued by the last brother, Dex, and am excited to listen to his story next!

Ryan Riggs is also fantastic...

I am totally sold on the Riggs boys and the amazing writing talent of Julie Kriss. She's given me back to back excellence with this series. This time it was Ryan Riggs and while he may have been dubbed the bad boy of baseball, he proved himself to be a really good guy at heart. His vulnerability was endearing. He had moments of cockiness but he still had baggage from his past and struggled with it. His relationship with his nanny Kate was great to experience. They had met previously, had a one night stand, and still decided to work together five years later. I enjoyed the way it was all done. It wasn't riddled with angst and torment about the past. I felt like they handled that part in a unique and mature way. Their present was where the real story was and it was still fantastic.

I loved the narrators for this story too. Both were different from the previous books in the series but still excellent. Savannah Peachwood I already knew I loved, but Jason Clarke is definitely one I'm gonna need more of. They both gave amazing performances and were a pleasure to listen to.

I’ve been waiting for this one

In book 3 of this series we get Ryan’s story. I’ve honestly been looking forward to this one and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The audible version was done nicely and having this story told in a dual POV was great. We get introduced to Kate and learn what makes Ryan tick. Now I’m looking forward to the next book! Definitely a book and a series I suggest to check out.

Quick, intense & swoon worthy, single dad romance

I love a good single dad romance. I've read a few thing year and WORK ME UP, definitely stood out. Ryan is the quintessential brooding hot jock with a bad attitude. Baseball has been his life, but when he injures his shoulder he spirals and finds himself in a very dark place. As a single parent and knows that for his kids sake, he needs some help. Then Kate steps in to work as his nanny. He's shocked to find out that he already knows here. Kate and Ryan had a one-night stand! The chemistry and attracting they felt that one night is still there. But Kate refuses to let herself get sucked back in. Tensions rise, the stakes get higher and eventually they can both no longer resit. If you're looking for a quick, intense and swoon worthy romance, I definitely suggest picking this one up. I've really enjoyed the last two Riggs Brothers novels, and I'm looking forward to learning more about Dex in [book:MAKE ME BEG|42120577].

*I received a free audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

I found the story intriguing and litened to it in one day. I've listened to books by both narrators before and love the way that they tell a story.

Winner, Winner, Winner

WOW, I enjoyed this story so much. The Riggs are superior and Julie Kriss, Outstanding!.
Happiness, joy, love and sexy read.
