Who doesn’t love a hot single dad? Chase was definitely the grumpy to Megan’s sunshine. I found their vulnerability genuine and it was entertaining watching them fight their connection. I loved Kennedy’s spirited personality and her crazy uncle’s shenanigans. This was a successful collaboration between Adriana Locke, Maxine Mitchell and Tor Thom. These talented narrators did an incredible job of bringing Adriana’s characters and story to life.
I loved it! Tor Thom and Maxine Mitchell did such an amazing job of narrating More Than I Could. I had labelled it feel good, cute, steamy, sweet and sexy and it is all of those things but it also has an emotional component to it that was brought to the forefront and really shone in the audio. I loved how the narrators drew out the emotional aspects in this book making me experience them in ways I hadn't while reading the ebook. Kudos to them for bringing this book, story and characters to life for me in a brand new way. I highly recommend it.

More Than I Could was a ray of sunshine. I enjoyed it quite a lot. It was light hearted and easy to read. I felt like I zipped through it quickly. It was also cute, sweet, sexy and steamy. I liked the banter filled which I loved. I adored the main characters and secondary characters. I'm definitely looking forward to reading Chase's siblings books. I definitely recommend this one!

Definitely loved Chase and Megan so much! I devoured like the first 37% before bed one night that how much I couldn't put this down! You can go wrong with small-town romance and she's got that on lock. I can't wait for more from the Marshall family!

Really enjoyed the beginning but the book went so quick so there was little development and the end was way too predictable. Still cute but too cliché and felt very rushed

Megan ends up in a small town in Indiana, helping out her mom to be a nanny to a 14-year-old for a month. On her way there, she breaks down and meets a hot stranger where sparks fly for both of them.
He ends up being the dad in need of a nanny and Megan forms a bond with Kennedy that no one was expecting.
This book has sweet themes of found family, the meaning of home, and when you know, you know. I’m so glad Adriana is turning this into a series because I want more of the Marshall family!

Overall Grade: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Tropes; single dad with teen daughter; one month nanny; forced proximity; grump/sunshine; small-town romance
I’ve decided that there is one thing that will make my heart sing: a grump/sunshine small-town romance written by Adriana Locke. Now, I’d LOVE for her to stop writing compelling family stories because, as a reader, I want them all, a story for each new character that inhabits the pages of her books. But…but she is but one author and it takes time…time that I often hate to pass awaiting the next story in a new series of intriguing characters. This is More Than I Could, Adriana Locke’s newest story.
Think grumpy single dad trying to parent a witty, intelligent, but complicated young woman. Add in a willful, sunshiney, intelligent, beautiful woman from the big city of Los Angeles who comes to small-town Peachwood Falls, Indiana to act as a nanny for the grumpy single dad’s thirteen-year-old daughter. From the moment they meet, Chase and Megan are combustible. Whether it’s Megan challenging Chase’s hard-headed ways or gruff communication, or it’s Chase trying but failing to stay away from Megan, they simply cannot help their attraction to each other.
Unfortunately, Megan’s situation is temporary, so Chase and Megan have to navigate their attraction while avoiding becoming serious. Best laid plans, right? This is the magic of More Than I Could. That fraught space along with Chase’s grumpiness in contrast to Megan’s spiritedness engage the reader. You don’t want to put this story down because (1) you love the characters - Megan, Chase, his brothers, the town folks and (2) you know that Locke will serve up a huge helping of a romancelandia happy ending. Which she does with aplomb.
In her acknowledgments, Locke had hoped to craft and release a story that would allow an escape from the nastiness of the world. And she does this well in More Than I Could. It’s a story that eases along with moments of triumph for its characters that keep you suspended all the way to the sweet and spicy final page. If you’re looking for a feel-good romance with a minor side of tension, you’ll want to read Adriana Locke’s More Than I Could.

More than I Could by Adriana Locke is a small-town single dad romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Maxine Mitchell and Tor Thom.
This is the second book of Adriana's that I have read, and it definitely won't be my last. I was pulled in from the first chapter and couldn't wait to see how everything was going to play out. I really enjoyed the relationship between Chase and Megan. I liked that we got both of their points of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.
Tor and Maxine did an amazing job on the narration. They both really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.
I would recommend this book if you're looking for single dad romances, nanny romances, small town romances, or contemporary romances.

Another small town I want to live in and another big family I want to be a part of. Megan goes down to a small town for a favor for her mom. Her and Chases meet cute was everything I expected in a small town romance. I live for the sexual tension and this one did not disappoint! I really hope the author will continue this standalone series for more of Chase's family. Highly recommend this book for lovers of small town romance and who always just love the grumpy ones.
