An Irresistible Chance
A Single Dad/Nanny Romance
By: Kim Loraine
Narrated by: Jason Clarke, Stella Hunter
I don't know how to thank Kim Loraine enough. Each book she writes takes me into a world,and even though it's fleeting, I am able to escape and love my new friends made in each one. Her cowboys are amazing, and Hawk's story is no exception. With his wife gone, and his daughter Carly acting out, he is need of help. Luckily, Lark & Travis's friend Daisy needs a job and loves kids. Little does he know she is the beautiful woman he was caught kissing in an elevator several weeks earlier. Now the two have to work and live together. Will it work for the good of Carly? Every warm feeling I have is felt in this book. From the incredible single dad, to the love Daisy shows Carly to the family feel it gives off, I was captivated from the very start. Hawk exudes charisma, and it is impossible not to love his scenes with Carly. Daisy is sweet and loving and knows what is important. But Carly steals the show. This feisty, amazing child had me smiling in every scene. Another fantastic listen by Loraine, and now to wait for Maverick!
The narration of this book just enhances the story. I am a huge fan of both Stella Hunter and Jaso Clarke. Daisy is full of conflict and Hunter knows exactly how to bring it out. She adds all the emotions and as soon as we finish with Daisy, she throws in Carly's voice as if she is a 4 year old. Perfect to a "t". Clarke has a warmth to his voice as this cowboy that is like velvet. A little twang and smoothness that won my heart. A great narration and wonderful listen.

There should only be one rule of thumb for any single dad out there - do not sleep with the nanny!! But when Hawk and Daisy's relationship starts off with strangers kissing in an elevator, they can only continue to act on those feelings when they actually know each other. But can you separate work and play? Or are the two destined to find their HEA together? In true Kim Loraine fashion, the reader will fall in love with these characters while enjoying a wonderful love story. Nothing better than watching a cowboy fall in love.

Daisy fell for her boss then caught him cheating with her roommate and lost her job so she jumps at the chance to follow her best friend to Montana and start a new life. Her BFF Lark recently moved with her husband back to his hometown and his best friend needs a nanny. Daisy has experience with kids, needs a new job and a new place to live, plus she gets to be with her bestie so it’s a great opportunity. She sets out hopeful for a fresh start but hits one little snag along the way when she stops for the night and gets stuck in a hotel elevator. Daisy is tired, nervous and scared so she throws caution to the wind, asking the hot cowboy in the elevator for a kiss to calm her nerves. It’s no big deal because when the elevator doors open, she walks out of his life forever.
At least until she meets her new boss, the sexy elevator cowboy. Daisy and Hawk both struggle to fight the attraction. He needs help with his daughter and can’t scare away his new nanny by hitting on her. She knows exactly how bad things can go when you get involved with your boss, so Daisy will never make that mistake again. Except their chemistry is off the charts and they’re perfect together, so this isn’t going to be easy.
The tension mounts as they struggle to put Carly first, determined not to do anything that could damage the employer-employee relationship. This story is a little bit angsty and a whole lot of steamy as they fight their feelings but it’s worth every minute.

There really is something super sexy about a man that is an amazing father. Especially a father that is wrapped around a sweet and sassy 4 year old girl's finger! When we met Hawk in Wild Mistake I knew this man was going to make me fall in love with him. And I wasn’t wrong. Hawk and Carly have been on their own since her mom left. Hawk relies heavily on his family to help him with her, all while running a ranch and starting a new distillery business with his siblings. Carly is precocious to say the least. She gets into a lot of trouble at preschool so her dad has to come get her and then she gets to spend time at home with family. And this system is working for her, until her dad realizes he needs some serious long term help in the form of a nanny. In comes Daisy. She is the best friend of a buddy’s wife, who also happens to be looking for a fresh start.
I love how each of these characters have baggage and some damage of their own in the past. Some are willing to move past that faster than others, Hawk and Daisy are immediately attracted to one another, and the chemistry is intense. Hawk definlety recognized that Daisy had some things that she needed to work out on her own, and I really loved how he not only gave her the time but the space to do that. Sometimes characters jump right in without thinking about the consequences, but these two worked it out. Took time and gave themselves room to grow into each other. But once they were together they made the perfect team!
One of the things that I love about a Kim Loraine book is the family dynamics and how we never leave behind her characters and they pop up later in the series. It really makes the reader feel like a part of the family and in this case, the community. If you have not read any of her Ryker or Wild series I would highly recommend them. Kim Loraine has quickly become one of my favorite authors!

Who doesn’t love a swoon worthy cowboy tale? Add in an element of forbidden love and you have the perfect storyline to lose yourself in. Hawk is the great single dad. His precious little princess with a stubborn streak is the apple of his eye and she will definitely steal your heart. I highly recommend this sweet must read!

'Perhaps my favourite Kim Loraine novel to-date! This swoon-worthy cowboy captured my heart immediately and held it all the way till the last page!' - TheBritishBibilohpile
I could already tell I was going to like the premise of the story based on the blurb alone, but I had no idea how much I would be smitten with it until I started reading. Kim has come on in leaps and bounds from when I first started reading her novels, to the amazing quality stories I'm reading now and this one reflects her growth most of all.
Immediately I was won over with the bringing together of the two main characters, I'm a fan of the forbidden romance/workplace romance, and this one was set in such a wholesome, romantic setting that I was itching to read when the two of them finally gave in to their desires and suffice to say that when it did happen, I was not disappointed. Add in to the fact that 'Hawk' is a cowboy, only intensifies just how swoon-worthy yet hot this moment was. There's nothing hotter than a Southern cowboy who knows how to really romance a woman! Or woo, in this case.
Rules are there to be followed or broken, and this was one rule Hawk set in place for himself and Daisy from the beginning that I think we can all agree, we were super glad that he broke!
Things only escalated from there as our two main characters dance around the idea of becoming official, factoring in anything and everything that could possibly come as a result of their coming out together as an official couple, and what could make it fall apart before they've even got going. Daisy has more to lose out of the two of them, so there was more for her to consider--and to overthink--before that magical moment would come when the two would throw all the cares out of the window, and just go with whatever they were and wherever life would take them for however long it would keep them together.
There were a few moments in which it seemed like there wouldn't be the sweet, sweet happily ever after that we as readers crave more than anything as we near the end of the story, but Kim didn't disappoint with giving us an ending that left us both satisfied and craving more at the same time. Hawk and Daisy were by far my favourite couple to get to know and to see develop that Kim has bought to life, and I look forward to seeing more of them hopefully dotted in future reads in this series.
If you're looking for that perfect autumn read that will give you all the warmth, the feels, bookish fuzzies and toe-curling cowboy steam, then this is the read for you.
Five stars for An Irresistible Chance and for Kim Loraine!

I don’t know how Kim does it but her cowboys keep getting swoonier and Hawk is definitely her most swooniest one yet. Hawk is a single dad and in need of a nanny and Daisy is looking to start over in a new town as a nanny for Hawk. Their chemistry is immediate and neither of them can deny. I love how adorable Hawk and his daughter Carly are and how perfectly Daisy fits in with their family. This book was swoony and sweet and Kim makes it impossible not to fall in love with these characters.
The audiobook was perfection. Jason was incredibly swoony as Hawk and Stella was perfect as Daisy, she impresses me more and more with each book. Jason and Stella together was audiobook magic performed in duet. This is definitely a required listen for all Jason, Stella and Kim fans.

Sweet, steamy single father, nanny romance. It has amazing heartfelt emotion and passion. The chemistry is instant between Hawk and Daisy. This is beautifully written and an incredible story.
