A retired SEAL is about to face his toughest assignment yet. As a nanny...

Fixer. Bodyguard. Advocate. Brann Calder is expected to play all these roles and more as a member of Torus Intercession, a security firm guaranteed to right what’s wrong. In the military, catastrophe was his specialty. Five months out of the service, Brann is still finding his way, so a new assignment might be just what he needs. Unless it includes two things sure to make a seasoned, battle-trained veteran nervous: life in a small town, and playing caregiver to two little girls.

Emery Dodd is drowning in the responsibility of single fatherhood. He’s picked up the pieces after losing his wife and is ready to move on now, hopeful that his engagement to a local patriarch’s daughter will not only enrich his community but will grant his daughters some stability, too.

The only thing standing in Emery’s way is that he can’t seem to keep his eyes - and hands - off the former soldier he’s hired to watch his girls until the wedding.

Emery’s future is riding on his upcoming nuptials, but being with Brann makes him and his family feel whole again. Too bad there’s no way for them to be together.

Or is there?

The cover picture is perfect. It got my attention immediately and the story kept my attention. Oh course I knew it would be good because it was written by Mary Calmes. This was just the kind of story I needed after reading a couple of dark stories. It was light yet it touched on some emotional topics. I enjoyed reading this book.

Enjoyable Story

📖 Story comment: good pace, likeable characters, entertaining story.
Delightfully entertained - kept me up past bedtime, ticked all my boxes.
I'm enjoying the concept behind a company of "fixers" and will happy explore the rest of the series.

🎧 Narrator comment: This is only my second title narrated by Scott R Smith and i'm enjoying him as a narrator. He suits the characters giving them each their own voice and personality, has good timing, inflections and intonations and bought the story to life. I'll happily explore more titles in his catalogue in the future.

Cute love story with a fun back story. I wasn’t all that fond of the narrator. I didn’t think he did very good in selection during the scene of intense emotion. He does do a good sexy, smoky voice.

And the fact he’s narrating a book I enjoyed made it a double pleasure. I especially liked how he could change his voice to interject humor into the funny lines written by the author.

Scott Smith is stellar
