About this listen

#1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey returns with an all-new sports rom-com about a burly, surly single dad who falls head-over-hockey-stick for his quirky live-in nanny...

Tallulah is smart, vivacious, and studying to be a marine biologist. She’s also twenty-six and broke. So when Burgess, a battle-scarred hockey veteran and newly single dad, offers her a job as his live-in nanny, she jumps at the opportunity to get paid while living in a super fancy neighborhood and being around Lissa, his cool but introverted tween.

Her tween charge isn’t the only one who could use some help fitting in, though. According to…well, everyone except Burgess, he needs to get back on the dating scene, and adventurous Tallulah is just the girl to show him how. But as boundaries are slowly crossed and Burgess finds himself pulled between his daughter, who wants her parents back together, and his insane chemistry with Tallulah, a huge rift is formed, and Tallulah does the “right” thing—breaks her own heart and walks away.

Though Burgess knows it’s for the best—he’s too jaded, with too much baggage—a chance meeting, and a new push from his daughter, forces him to put everything on the line and fight to prove he learned his lessons well and is worthy of a happily ever after with Tallulah.

Burgess & Tallulah

I have been waiting for this release. Book one in the series gave us a glimpse of these two characters and the wait was worth it!

Burgess was basically attracted to Tallulah at first sight! He's come across always as a grumpy don't talk to me hockey player but when it comes to his daughter and Tallulah they see a different side to him.

Tallulah doesn't trust easy because of past trauma. She's been on the run from everyone but her best friend for years. At first she doesn't know if she can trust Burgess but he starts to grow on her. She also loves his daughter and gets him to see her in a new way that he can also be a better parent.

There is a hard break up in the book but a HEA.... These two go the distance and it's worth the bumpy ride.

Single Dad & grad student with past trauma

I liked the chemistry between the two main characters. They had a real magnetism for each other. The story had some really sweet moments, especially when she’s helping him with his daughter. I liked how after learning about her past trauma and resulting mistrust of men, the MMC goes out of his way to do things to make her feel safe. That said the past trauma story was pretty far fetched and unlikely. As always, the characters could do with some therapy to deal with their feelings. I loved the first book in this series and I was happy to get to see those characters again. I just felt like this one missed the mark a little. Especially the “forbidden” element didn’t feel necessary. She was close to 30, not some 18 year old being taken advantage of. And finally, a professional athlete would be getting massages and PT on a regular basis for their whole career. Yeah, he could try and cover up his pain/injury, but an athlete not treating their body properly, that far into his career, is just dumb.
