About this listen

Cam DeSantis's life is a mess. How else would you describe losing your husband, your job, and your money all at once? Desperate times call for desperate measures.

So when salvation comes in the form of one intolerable jerk, who just happens to be the starting quarterback for the vaunted New York Titans, she has no choice but to accept his offer as a live-in nanny slash teacher for his eight year old nephew.

Now all she has to do is find a way to ignore him for the next three months. Which is easier said than done.

***

Calvin Shaw has zero interest in women.

Wait, wait—let me rephrase that. He loves women, he just doesn't want anything to do with 'um. What he needs to do is focus on winning another Super Bowl before he retires.

Problem is, the woman living in his house is a major distraction. And he doesn't know what's worse: that he promised to be civil, or that he's attracted to her.

This was fun to listen to.

Cami and Cal both have their issues and while it would have been great to see Cal's growth, this was in Cami's POV.
I got a bit confused when Jersey accent showed through because I didn't hear it in Cami much, even though she was also from Jersey.
Everyone needs a friend like Amber.

Excellent

What a great story line, it felt like home as it began, it continued throughout. I enjoyed the family difficulties and How the story reached its
ending. A great listen I fully recommend.

Loved this

This book completely exceeded my expectations! I was in a bit of a reading slump, but Wrecking Ball pulled me right out of it. The “hard-to-love” trope was executed brilliantly, keeping me hooked from start to finish.

A quick note for fans of Nelson Hobbs: while he only narrates the epilogue, Amelie Griffin’s performance more than makes up for it—she was absolutely stellar throughout the entire story! I’m going to go hunt for more of her work! Enjoy!

Easy listening & heart warming

This book was such a heart warming & unexpectedly good listen. There were no moments where I was cringing. I in no way mean that this book was boring. The characters had depth and the narrator was great.

Enjoyable

This was not dual ! But apart from this nice story and engaging. However the author use the same phrase over and over again which was annoying.

Great story. What’s not to like about a gorgeous, broody athlete built like a Greek god who falls against his will for a feisty girl of principles. Couldn’t stop listening until the credits. Perfect narration to complement the characters.
