.........................

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.

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.

Chapter 19 makes me LOL 😆

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.

Will always listen to Abby Jimenez novels!

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!

Love this series
