    About this audiobook

    All Dr. Sloan Copeland needed was someone to watch her kids. What she found was the man of her dreams . . .

    After a nasty divorce and a thousand mile move, Dr. Sloan Copeland and her twin daughters are finally getting the hang of their new life in Los Angeles. When their live-in nanny bails with no warning, Sloan is left scrambling to find a competent caretaker to wrangle her smart, sensitive girls. Nothing less will do.

    Enter Rafe Whitcomb. He's all of those things, not to mention good-natured and one heck of a whiz in the kitchen. He's also tall, and handsome, and bearded, and ripped, and tatted, wrist to neck.

    It doesn't take long for the Copelands to invite Rafe into their home. Just as quickly, both Sloan and Rafe find themselves succumbing to a heady mutual attraction, neither of them wants to deny. With every minute they spend under the same roof, this working mom can't help but wonder if Rafe can handle all her needs . . .

      I wish they would have invested in a male narrator . The female narrator didn’t enhance or help the story come alive in my opinion. Story felt rushed, cheesy and unrealistic. This one was a little bit of a let down.

      I really enjoyed listening to this. Rafe is the besttt. It seemed unrealistic at some point but that didn’t make it any less enjoyable.

      It was just ok. The characters are kind of thrown together. Mr. Masters is a much better nanny book. The audiobook is great.

      I loved this book. I had a smile on my face the whole time. It made me laugh too and now I want a Rafe ??. Great writing and great narrator for the story. Really made it come alive.

      Well! This was HOT!!!

      I didn't realize that this was an interracial love story. I liked it! But I LOVED that the female love interest (Sloan) was black, a surgeon and former child prodigy. Just everything to make me proud.

      Actually read the second book beforehand, and now I'm tempted to reread to see which one holds up more but I definitely enjoyed it. more so the fact there was LITTLE to no drama with the main couple. We love it. I want more of it. This was so sweet

      It was ok. I wish Rafe had found his passion but I guess the kids are his passion.

      Thank you Mrs Beverly Jenkins. This was a great read, not like her own novels but a good heartwarming story. As a fellow single mother I understood her struggle and desires.
    • 4/5
      Trashy fun. Fulfilled my quest for a smutty read. ?
    • 3/5
      I am not typically a fan of romance novels as a whole. I have always found them overall ridiculous, however, Rafe did not fall under the ridiculous color. This was not something I would have read were it not for Book Riot, and I do not see myself reading the others in the series. However, I must say Rebekah Weatherspoon's writing was well done. As with most romance novels, I skip through the sex as it just does not appeal to me, and it is far from realistic. The overall story though was a good read, Rafe is a strong but refreshing male lead. I loved Slone's strong independence and the fact she was a single hard-working mother. I was impressed with this contemporary romance and the subtle navigation of mixed-race couples.
    • 4/5
      It’s quick cute book . I loved it
      I want me some Rafe .
      I loved how wholesome the book was .
    • 3/5
      This book is great but the narrator’s male voice is awful….her Rafe voice sounds like a 14 year old with a stuffy nose.?
    • 4/5
      All i can say about this book is that it was CUTE and steamy... i fell in love with the twins, they were soooooooooooooo adorable.
      The couple were cute and hot, their story didn't make sense but it was a fairytale sort of story with little climax *pun intended*
      The sex scenes were hot, to the point and short.
      honestly there is nothing much to say except if you're in the mood for a soft, quick steamy romance with a bit of a story then this is your book ^^
      mind you I will be listening to the 2nd book cause I like it ^^
    • 4/5
      3.5 stars. I loved this so much. For once, there were no annoying miscommunications, no questionable consent, no instances where the woman had to educate the man on how not to be a piece of trash. The stakes were relatively low, and that's why I only gave it 3.5 but I don't always wanna read some high stakes romance that could be solved by the relevant parties just holding tight for thirty seconds to have a real conversation.
    • 5/5
      This is such a cute and fluffy romance, with LOTS of steam. (like I would suggest not listening to this in public)
    • 2/5
      2,5 stars , it was just a bit dull.

      This book was a hot steamy cup of fresh air!!
    • 4/5
      Straight up fun start to finish. Funny, feminist, and sexy AF. The title is both ridiculous and descriptive. Recently divorced surgeon Sloan Copeland (who was a genius and in college at 12 ish and therefore an experienced doctor at 28) is the mother to twin 6 year olds and has just relocated to LA. When the new nanny flames out a teacher friend recommends Rafe, a....well a buff male nanny...to fill the void. Let's just say that is not all he fills. Also, he learns how to do the hair of little mixed race girls (its a skill), is creative and patient with the girls. and cooks. A hot gentle giant with mad sex skillz who could take out your creepy ex if he chose to or had to but restrains himself? Yeah. It works.The writing was a little clunky in places, and it had the "too perfect" characters that bring me down a little, but mostly it was just what the doctor ordered for when I wanted to read but wasn't in the right headspace to jump into my current delightful but taxing mainstage read (Mason & Dixon.)
    • 4/5
      Somehow, I ended up, despite the three superfantabulous reads I've got going, reading and enjoying Rafe.Am I glad I did? Sure! It's the nanny-family my favorite plot? Nah. Did I think it was escapist, diverting fun? Yes. I love Sloan's (black cardiothoracic surgeon with twin 6year olds) conversations with her friends. I liked, too, Rafe's interactions with both families. Rafe is a total love, without being sappy. Sloan's mix of ambition and innocence, essentially, were important to the dynamic in this book. It was well done and helped this plot navigate through troubling issuesBut. It stayed in the shallow end. I kept wanting more intimacy and deeper understanding from the characters and I got sex. It's just not a substitute to that build-up of tension between two characters falling for you.What, to me, it looked like was Sloan found super hot father material and ended up in a relationship. I appreciate and adored both characters, but I didn't get their connection. Unfortunately, this only serves to make the sex kind of words on a page and boring for me.
    • 2/5
      It didn’t work for me. Honestly, it could have been very good but the characters seemed contrived.
