About this listen

Josie thought she was getting a promotion at her architectural firm, but instead her career implodes. She impulsively takes up her roommates’ offer to nanny for a little girl on a mega yacht in the South of France. Even though she can't stand boats, this seems like fate giving her an opportunity to lick her wounds in a bucket list paradise while she figures out how to get her life back.

But this little girl she’s arrived to look after has a daddy. A widowed, hot, billionaire of a daddy. And if there’s anything that Josie needs less than having to be stuck on a yacht, no matter how luxurious, it’s an inconvenient and highly combustible attraction to her new boss. A man who, for all his wealth, is grumpy, conceited, and utterly closed off.

Xavier Pascale is on an emotional island of his own making. It’s just him and his daughter and he likes it that way. He works hard, his shareholders are happy, and his best friends are his body guard and the people who work for him. What’s wrong with that? But then he meets Josephine Marin. Her arrival in his life is like a deep ocean tremor along a catastrophic emotional fault line. And now…well, now, he’s very, very aware of his isolation and his very human need. But he can’t be distracted. When he gets distracted terrible things happen.

He should send the nanny home. He really should. But what if he just takes what he wants, just this one time?

This is a standalone, contemporary romance. It includes luscious scenes of sparkling blue ocean; tantalizing, seductive food; as well as a smoking hot, dirty-talking Frenchman. If traveling scares you, or sexy times scare you, then this book is not for you. But if you’re looking for a decadent armchair vacation after being stuck in one place for over a year - a story that will make you laugh, swoon, fan yourself, and cry - then this one is for you!

I loved loved loooooved this book! I don’t often write reviews, but this book is worth it. I loved the characters, with the mix of slight bilingual mix ins of the French language. The descriptions of the locations and the atmosphere were amazing. I loved the slow burn lovers/haters relationship. I will definitely be reading again!
The sex Scenes were great! Highly recommend.

I initially switched this off as I didn't like the narration, which at first felt slow and a little flat...but later tried it again and kind of fell into the sing-song of their voices, until I felt like I was floating at sea with the them. It was both sultry and raw, and the languid pacing turned out to be rich and delicious. Like brie and honey on a warm baguette.... The writing is a cut above most romance novels too...I was at times surprised by the beauty of some of the phrasing.

Almost passed over this lovely story
