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.

Although there was an excellent storyline, there were too many internal monologues. The ending was nice, featuring a small twist. I probably won't listen again, but it was still good.

Slow burn but enjoyable

Surprisingly good. Slow burn between the mmc and fmc. Left wanting more but felt rushed at the end

Slow burn and heart warming

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!

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.

Really enjoyed this one. Well read. Beautifully and realistically written, romantic by with reality. Everytime I thought some typical scene from other romances was going to play out, it didn’t! Kept me interested. Ready for the next :D

Extremely good, not the typical

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.

Enjoyable

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.
