Shacking Up#5

Audiobook, Audible

Author: Helena Hunting

Narrators: Andi Arndt and Jacob Morgan

This is the last standalone installment in the Shacking Up series (there are a couple of novellas in the Shacking Up world).  In this one, we get to meet the elusive Lincoln Moorehead, the older brother of the Douchy MacDouchy Pants Armstrong Moorehead we’ve all learned to loathe. Their father passed away unexpectedly, and Lincoln is called back stateside from Guatemala, where he is working in his non-profit project, because no one can even imagine putting the manchild that is Armstrong at the helm of a media conglomerate. The thing is… Lincoln hates his family (with the exception of his grandmother), specially can’t stand his brother, and doesn’t give a flying fuck to the family business. But he can’t deny a request from his G-mom. What he doesn’t know is that, while he was away, they hired the super competent Wren to handle his moronic brother and clean up his messes and now they assigned her to him too. Not that they believe he will mess up, but he definitely doesn’t live by “the corporate norm”- picture holey jeans, dirty sneakers and a man bun and a beard.  Wren isn’t particularly happy with the job she took only as a favor to her mom, but it is what it is and if there is anyone who can handle these guys, it’s Wren.

Well, Wren wasn’t expecting Linc to clean up reaaaaaaaally well and to be such a nice person under the devil may care attitude.   Lincoln also didn’t expect his so-called “baby sitter” to get his heart pumping just with the sight of her very red lips. We all know where this is going, right? But there are secrets everywhere, the Mooreheads are seriously lacking in the moral compass department, so you can expect all sorts of shady things to happen to the couple, but it’s such a nice story that, by the end, you are even willing to not wish a Game of Thrones kinda death to smarmy Armstrong (and his mom!!!). 

Highly recommend this one and I am sad the series is over! 

Narration: Andi Arndt is the Meryl Streep of narration and Jacob Morgan… well, you already know what I think of him. No point in sounding like a deranged fan.
