Rafe: A Buff Male Nanny

Loose Ends Series, Book 1

De: Rebekah Weatherspoon

Narrado por: Lacy Laurel

All Dr. Sloan Copeland needed was someone to watch her kids. What she found was the man of her dreams....

After a nasty divorce and a thousand-mile move, Dr. Sloan Copeland and her twin daughters are finally getting the hang of their new life in Los Angeles. When their live-in nanny bails with no warning, Sloan is left scrambling to find a competent caretaker to wrangle her smart, sensitive girls. Nothing less will do.

Enter Rafe Whitcomb. He's all of those things, not to mention good-natured and one heck of a whiz in the kitchen. He's also tall, and handsome, and bearded, and ripped, and tatted, wrist to neck.

It doesn't take long for the Copelands to invite Rafe into their home. Just as quickly, both Sloan and Rafe find themselves succumbing to a heady mutual attraction, neither of them wants to deny. With every minute they spend under the same roof, this working mom can't help but wonder if Rafe can handle all her needs....

Liked but my my fave by this author

I’m not sure what I disconnected about this book. While I appreciated the low angst, I think the little angst gave this book a disservice. I liked the whole angle of them being adults and having the proper communication but everything was just too perfect for me. The twins were adorable but Aiden was a better ginger hero for me. I still enjoyed this book as I read it on audio and audiobooks are my preference.

Sweet story

I liked the interaction between Rafe and the twins. Narrator did a lousy male voice.

Sweet and cozy goodness

I saw this one recommended by several folks I trust and wooooo did it deliver! Just such a well written story. I love Sloane and Rafe so much and look forward to reading more from this author

Ok Hot Male Nanny for the WIN!!

Ooo quick read with a hot male nanny? Yes please! This was an easy listen with some good spice. I loved it.

Cute story

The narrator was good but this story really deserves dual or duet narration. I read as I listened and kept wanting hear a real male voice.

Male Voice was Needed

The story is a cozy romance with a smutty good time, just learned Rafe is a cinnamon roll. The narrator’s versatility with the female characters was good but her male impression wasn’t hitting the mark. Fun read!

LOVE LOVE LOVE RAFE

in love, thanks !Rafe is emotionally intelligent and we love that for Sloane and the girls

Great storyline. Needs Male narrator.

Love the writing and I always like Lacy Laurel’s narration but she could have used a male counterpart. Someone who actually had a slight Boston accent.

hard listen

I was unable to finish this store because the narrator was killing me softly and not in a good way😒

I’m really glad someone recommended this one

The title (or, more accurately the subtitle) made me think I would not like it, but it’s probably one of my favorite new reads of the year, so far. Weatherspoon understands the assignment and carries it off well. Rafe is pure fantasy—high-heat instalust that quickly become instalove—but you can see the real world from where they are in ways I wasn’t expecting. It’s not at all subtle, but there are still some moments of surprise, often with a side of humor. And unlike in some books that claim com(edy) as part of their description, the humor is actually humorous to me. Rafe is a gentle giant; Sloane is “short-ish” former wunderkind, now premier heart surgeon; the twins are adorably sassy; and I appreciate the way that Rafe and Sloane’s families and friends are a part of their lives and, therefore, part of the story. There is, technically, an external conflict, but it’s not *really* a conflict. And I’m ok with that. Sometimes I want drama. Sometimes I just want to watch two nice people decide that they both like each other and want to bang it out. Bonus: there are moments of both dialogue and characters’ internal monologues that feel like they could have been my thoughts or conversations I’ve had with friends.

I was already planning to read more of her work, but the epilogue ensured I’d do that sooner, rather than later. No regrets!
