About this listen

Sadie Powell is going on an adventure. After her beloved mother has a health scare, Sadie decides it's finally time to see the world. So, Sadie crosses the Atlantic to work as an au pair for a year. Austria's supposed to be nice: chocolate, beer, and scenic mountain ranges beckon. She'll figure out teaching and living with an Austrian family along the way.

Inga Weber trusts only herself. Ever since her husband of twenty years left her for an Instagram model, Inga's opted to homeschool her three children. Better keep them close so they can't get hurt. Except it turns out it's hard to keep an au pair on staff when Inga's expectations tower higher than the Alps. Exercises, punctuality, and rigor grind down even the best candidates.

When Sadie arrives at Inga's doorstep, her fate seems clear. She'll be sacked like the rest of them, inadequate in the face of precise demands. Except something about Sadie's warm smile and caring green eyes makes Inga falter. Though the two diverge in their approaches to life, maybe this time, it's different.

Maybe this time, Inga's met someone who can melt her frozen heart.

Contains mature themes.

good age gap romance

I get what the other review is saying and "has anyone heard from Sadie lately" really cracked me up, but despite there being a large power imbalance in the relationship it didn't bother me because I didn't feel like Inga took advantage of it. Still, the older woman is Sadie's employer, rich when Sadie isn't, powerful in business, and Sadie is isolated in the countryside so I can understand why some people would take it wrong especially when Inga is also dominant in bed... but I never got the impression of anything but (very) enthusiastic consent from Sadie. I hope this is enough for people to decide if it's for them without giving spoilers.

Gabra Zackman was great as usual. She has such a sensuous voice. Her character voices were decent and it's nice they got someone who could pronounce the German in the book.

I don’t know how to feel

I didn’t hate the story however, I think some people could view some parts of this book as problematic lol. I mean…are we sure Sadie actually wants to be there? Has anyone heard from Sadie lately? Is she okay?
