Such a Sweet Love Story!

I have to say I adore this book!!! It is such a sweet love story and believe it or not...NO DRAMA...i didn't even know that was possible in romance. This is a must buy author for me because all of her books leave me with a happy heart. I love her writing style and all of her stories. Simon & Abby's story is sweet and these two just make perfect sense. I loved Simon, he is a single dad who puts his daughter 1st and he is adult enough to have an amicable relationship with his ex for their child. Abby is the nanny and she loves his daughter. She also has great morals and sticks to her beliefs even if it might make things difficult. In the end I stayed up all night (on a work night no less) finishing this audiobook because it was just that good. This book would have been great as an ebook but add Sebastian York & Andi Arndt narrating the audiobook and it was even better.

Keep them coming Lauren, I will devour them all <3

to have a sexy boss

the Sexy One is the story of single dad Simon and Nanny Abby. They have worked together caring for Hayden and keeping their mutual lust from each other. However things just start to boil over and they can't keep away from each other.

You would think it would be a cliche book but it was seriously enjoyable. Abby is strong and independent and loves Hayden. However Simon is attractive and the way he is with his daughter makes him even more so. He's hard to resist. But when he starts to pay attention to her and shows her a new sides. Things heat up.

Simon is a good dad, and guy. ya his first marriage failed, but hello he learned from his mistakes. It was a cute, heart warming book and of course there is hot sex. But either way I just enjoyed this one.

Entertaining

This was a light, fun listen. A well-told story about two people falling in love. No unnecessary, over-done angst, just the right amount of thoughtfulness for the situation they were in. The characters were likable but I would have liked to see more growth from them (just a personal preference - I like to see the characters grow and change). Andi Arndt and Sebastian York were, as always, wonderful interpreters of the characters.

Lauren Blakely is always a great choice! The Sexy One is smart and funny with fantastic, relatable characters. This is a story to lighten your mood and swoon for the good girl and guy!
An easy add to my library!

THE PERFECT TRIFECTA.. AUTHOR+NARRATION+STORY

I don't usually buy short stories BUT when they're written by the very talented Lauren Blakely and expertly narrated by Sebastian York and Andi Arndt then there's simply no doubt in my mind that it'll be worth the credit. Simon and Abby's sweet love story didn't disappoint.. because there was humor, heart, heat and it's packed with tender romantic feels as Simon, the perfect single Dad, fights his 7 month constant attraction to his daughter's trusted and very caring Nannie. And Abby, for 7 long months, has watched this Adonis, this perfect Dad, this caring friendly man interact with his sweet daughter and she's silently drooled and dreamt of what could never be.

But, never say never, because when they're unexpectedly left alone the chemistry charges the air around them and it only took one brush of their lips to detonate the explosion of suppressed feelings. Which resulted in tearing down boundaries and creating new rules.. new rules that morphed and melded into a loving new family of three. There was no angst in this lovely listen.. just emotions, togetherness, chemistry.. and some crazy hot sex.

Worth a credit? When it comes to a tried and trusted Author's book there's no hesitation, no doubts and no question that YES it's going to be creditworthy... and it was.

Oh Simon, my Simon!

Would you listen to The Sexy One again? Why?

YES!!! Over and over and over again!!! In fact, three times wouldnt be enough to satiate my endless love for Simon!!! I loved this book the first time I read it, and after I listened to this audiobook, I was crazy and madly and endlessly in love with Simon and Abby, because seriously Sebastian York and Ani Arndt made an spectacular job with this audiobook.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Sexy One?

There were so many awesome moments in this book that will be forever in my heart, for example the first time they made love, it was tender, romantic and very sexy, or their first date at the movies, it felt like they were teenagers *sigh*, or when Abby found Simon and little Hayden playing a tea party *ovaries exploded* This book has so many awesome moments to love and cherish for ever <3

What about Andi Arndt and Sebastian York ’s performance did you like?

For starters, I loved this book has a dual narration. Andi and Sebastian were a great team narrating Abby and Simon. The sweetness in Andi's voice was a perfect match with the strengh in Sebastian's performance, both inflections suited perfectly with Abby's and Simon's personalities.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes! It's a short audiobook, well paced, great pronunciations and beautiful and sexy voices. The audio version of The Sexy One added more perfection to the original version, and like I said before, I want to repeat it once and again until the end of time.

Any additional comments?

I've loved every man Lauren has written, since Bryan, passing through Davis Milo, Clay Nichols, Colin Sloan, Nick Hammer, all of Lauren's book boyfriends have been amazing, but Simon, oh my god, Simon is perfect!! He's the best dad ever, the best lover ever and he's sweet, kind, respectful and everything! <3

The Sexy One

WoW, another HIT! I love Lauren's take on the Rom-Com’s. :-)
She sucks me in from the first page right to the last.

Abby is fun, witty, and can hold her own. I would love to have her ability to learn new languages as fast and as well as she does.
Not only that but she has a way with kids that’s awesome. No wonder Simon snatched her up to be the nanny.
She happens to have a secret crush on Simon she keeps under wraps she doesn’t want to lose her job, and she doesn’t think he sees her as anything but his daughter’s nanny.

“If you look up ‘hot single dad’ in the dictionary, you’d find his picture…He’s the prize in the available dad sweepstakes.”

Simon, a single dad has had some serious feelings for the nanny, Abby. He’s not a man to let his feeling run his life but Abby is a little hard to resist. And once he finds out she feels the same way… Well, things start to happen.

I love that these 2 but his daughter fight they don’t want to do anything that would hurt or harm her in any way. So if that means fighting there attraction they do it.

But love always finds a way doesn’t it, even if there are snags along the way.

“If loving that amazing, vibrant, talented, brilliant woman is a cliché, then I’ll gladly slap the sign on my chest. I’m a cliché, and I’m okay with that."
