Tyberius Bryne is in a pickle. He’s recently relocated to Seattle to be the Sasquatches’ captain. He’s still trying to find his footing around Seattle when his nanny quits. Right before a game. So Ty calls the team owner with this family emergency and he lets him know that his relocation coordinator is going to fix this or step in as a nanny herself.
When Indie Decker took a job with her brother’s hockey team, she wasn’t expecting to end up being the emergency nanny to a six-year-old little girl, but that is where she finds herself.
Ty and Indie clash in the beginning. Ty’s very set in his own ways and Indie is as skittish as they come. As they try to get along, they start looking at each other in a different way. A “friends with benefits” situation develops, but as Ty is willing to take things to a deeper level, Indie is adamant to keep the “no strings attached” rule. As they get more comfortable with each other, secrets from the past come to the surface and maybe there is hope for them after all.
Even though there are some heavy topics dealt with in the story, this is still a pretty “light” read. Narrated dual style by Emma Wilder and Robert Hatchet, this short audiobook can be easily listened to in one sitting. Emma and Robert are flawless. Emma plays the standoffish but vulnerable Indie perfectly and Robert’s soothing voice is just right for the charming, loyal and determined Ty.
This hockey romance gives you a handsome player, a dedicated dad, a “nanny” who is a modern Mary Poppins, an adorable little girl, fun and flirty texts (narrated in duet), a wonderful family who proves blood is NOT thicker than water, and a lot of healing of broken spirits. I’m sure you will be rooting for Indie and Ty.
