This was my first story by Kayley. I thought I wrote a little review back when I finished the story..oops. I am happy to say that I am current on her entire collection. I love how she brings all of her stories to the next level. My favorite way to enjoy the stories is with the audiobooks. I love how we slowly learn more all of the side characters.

I love Kayley’s writing and I can’t help but snort laugh while listening to this story. Her stories are always funny and low on angst. Shane needs a nanny so his best friend suggests his younger sister Willa to help out until they can find a full time nanny. Willa and Shane’s story was so much fun and I loved the twins and all of the side characters. Mackenzie Cartwright and Teddy Hamilton were perfection in this narration. Their voices are perfect for the comedy in this book.

The plot was a good idea but the execution just didn't work for me. It was wayyy too fast and the dialogue was weird to me. I read the first half and then skimmed through the second half. There were some cute moments but overall it didn't really stick with me and wasn't super invested in getting all the details I just needed to get to the end.

A funny and sultry rom-com about a performer and a perfumer. Best friend’s sibling trope that was so addicting! I absolutely loved both Willa and Shane. They each had their own unique quirks and humor that worked so well together. It had minimal drama and lots of sexy scenes. A thoroughly good story from start to finish!

I listened to this book on audio and really enjoyed the narration by Mackenzie Cartwright and Teddy Hamilton. They brought these characters to life with their voices and infused them with so much personality and wit. I was laughing non stop at their ability to pull off one liners and jabs. Plus, Teddy can make you swoon during those hot scenes!

I received a complimentary copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review from Wildfire Marketing.

RomCom Perfection!

I was looking for a listen/read from someone I don’t typically read and went into this story kind of blind, no expectations. Boy was I surprised at how good this story is. I loved both Willa and Shane as leads in this novel. He’s just a good guy, who does the right thing. She isn’t afraid to go after what she wants. They are super likeable apart and together. They were written as a great team when it came to taking care of Shane’s kids. There was some great laugh out loud moments, and some really great sweet and touching moments too. This book was RomCom perfection for me.

Move over Keaton Bridges because Shane Miller just dethroned you as my favorite Kayley book boyfriend.

I loved Shane and Willa from the start. The Hollywood Star and the awkward, nerdy perfumer. Their initial meet cute was super awkward and hilarious and everything you would have expected from a young girl meeting her teenage crush. Flash forward many years and when they meet again it is just as amazing.

I loved the inner thoughts from both Shane and Willa throughout the story, it provided some additional insight into both of their characters. Plus, their chemistry was on FIRE. I loved how well they balanced each other out. Shane is super sweet and ultra swoony. Summer and Lucky, those two sweet adorable children. I even liked Margo, even though I really didn’t want to. Plus, Nico. (PS Kayley I really hope he is getting a book!).

If you love single parent/nanny romances with a little bit of movie star mixed in this is definitely one to check out. Just be ready for Shane, Willa, Lucky and Summer to steal your heart.

Sleeper is another AMAZING book by Kayley Loring and a MUST READ!

-------------------------------

The audiobook is now available and you'll want to get your hands on it ASAP! Teddy and Mackenzie do an amazing job at bringing Shane and Willa to life. Their chemistry is amazing and they are both amazingly talented narrators.

I didn't think it was possible to love this story more, but I do. If you've read the story and you're a fan of audiobooks this is definitely one you'll want to listen to.

Adorable

This was the cutest effin thing I have ever read. The characters felt real and touchable, and the story embraced it's romanticism in a wonderful way. Willa is tough without being brittle and nasty, and Shane is a dream. Well worth the read and I would have spent more to buy the book.
