Publisher's Summary

A brilliant and touching romantic comedy from the USA Today bestselling author of The Friend Zone and The Happy Ever After Playlist.

When Vanessa Price quit her job to pursue her dream of traveling the globe, she wasn't expecting to gain millions of YouTube followers who shared her joy of seizing every moment. For her, living each day to its fullest isn't just a motto. Her mother and sister never saw the age of 30, and Vanessa doesn't want to take anything for granted.

But after her half-sister suddenly leaves Vanessa in custody of her baby daughter, life goes from 'daily adventure' to 'hourly nappy change'. The last person Vanessa expects to show up offering help is the hot lawyer next door, Adrian Copeland. After all, she barely knows him. No one warned her that he was the Secret Baby Tamer or that she'd be spending a whole lot of time with him and his geriatric Chihuahua.

Now she's feeling things she's vowed not to feel. Because the only thing worse than falling for Adrian is finding a little hope for a future she may never see.

Love the story and the narrators

I haven't come across an Abby Jimenez book I haven't yet liked. Such a great author and love both these narrators. The aussie accents were a bit dubious (haha - but I am Australian so it was really obvious) but their tone and delivery are wonderful. Can't wait to listen to the next one.

Will always listen to Abby Jimenez novels!

I love the topics Abby chooses to write about and they way she tackles them. The characters she creates and the friendships and love she brings to life. I feel like I learn a lot whilst listening to her books.

Love this series

Loved this whole series. Stories are swoony, a bit steamy and full of heart. Gripped the whole way through. Even with some of the worst Australian accents I’ve ever heard (and as an Aussie I’ve heard a lot of them), the narrators were great. Recommend!

Wonderful story

Read all three of these books. Love the banter and fun of these two characters. Not sure about the Australian accent!! Worth the read.

Beautiful story

It was a beautiful story with a purpose. The strength and courage of this story is inspiring. I love that it doubles as an awareness piece for ALS! Beautiful performed.

Chapter 19 makes me LOL 😆

I'm up to Chapter 19 right now and hearing Becky describe Drake's exploits to Adrian (and Adrian's reaction) is absolutely hilarious!! Great listen. As an aussie the aussie accents are making my eye twitch. I find myself yelling at my phone during the moments where they're not revealing their true feelings but it's got me listening to see what happens next.

least fav of the 3

it really dragged and they pretty much just talked about their feelings to themselves the whole time.
and the on going health issues were a lot. it should have a trigger warning.
