This Baby Business

By: Heatherly Bell

Narrated by: Kimberly Austin

A pilot, a nanny, a baby, and a fake engagement–it's all baby business!

When the hot single dad next door asks me to babysit one morning in a pinch, I figure I can help him out temporarily. I'm supposed to be the resident baby expert at RockYourBaby, after all. Unfortunately, behind the computer monitor, my entire life is one big, fat lie. It's my late mother who was the baby whisperer, and I'm simply trying to keep her online baby business afloat until we can sell it to the highest bidder.

But soon, Levi is struggling to keep custody when Grace's maternal grandparents arrive in town. When I get the bright idea that they might be happy to know Levi and I are engaged, I have no idea what I've started. Now Levi is upset, the grandparents are happy, and Grace might be teething.

Who knew this baby business was so complicated....

Can they make it work?

A really enjoyable story about two people both requiring help with their own set of problems.
One desperately needing a babysitter and the other needing assistance with her business to bring it back to the profitable business it used to be.
This story had it all, a cute baby, a sexy ex Air Force pilot, his gorgeous next door neighbour coming to his rescue and disgruntled grandparents.
Add in some steamy scenes, some untruths and feelings start to blur between the two.
I got attached to the characters in this novel and loved the storyline.
Also really enjoyed the narration, it flowed beautifully and made for easy listening.
Would definitely recommend this book and audiobook.

Engaging Romantic Fiction

This was my first experience with Heatherly Bell's work, and it was entertaining. Carly was trying to get someone to buy "RockYourBaby", but she didn't have any experience with raising babies. Levi needed a nanny to take care of his daughter while he was at work. They agreed to help one another. The story was delightful. The characters were charming. The trope involved a fake relationship which has long been a favorite of mine. Kimberly Austin's narration was fine, and her performance was pleasant. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Carly & Levi (& Grace!!!)

Heatherly Bell pens another wonderful story in her Heroes of Fortune Valley. I cannot resist a good single dad romance, and this one pushes all the right buttons! Levi recently found out he was a father to baby Grace, and her mother was killed leaving him as the custodial parent. Not only does he have a job that travels, but he has no idea how to take care of a baby! Slowly getting into a routine, he is ready to go to work when his babysitter cancels. He can't just not go fly the plane! So what does he do? Knocks on the next door neighbor's door, leaving Grace in the capable hands of Carly. After all, Carly is a baby expert since she owns a baby blog and review company! But what he doesn't know is Carly inherited the monstrosity from her mom, and while has good instincts is almost as clueless as he is. But between the two, they begin a routine.But life is never easy, and Grace's grandparents are trying to take her away. What should Levi do? Now our story really begins and it's so much fun! A fake fiance, an undeniable chemistry, trust issues, baby fashion, good friends, you name it, it's in this fun and loving story! I really enjoyed the plot, and was rooting for Carly and Levi the whole time! Plus there is a dog! This makes it even better. It's a great addition to the series and complete entertainment.

Kimberly Austin is the story teller for this one, and she is fabulous. She is able to switch between characters with ease, and has the perfect baby noises! I loved her performance and will be watching for more from her.

A beautiful emotional story

You fall in love with all the characters, even the ones you hate for a while. Inadvertently, Grace became the way to make everyone put themselves together. I voluntarily reviewed an ALC of this Audiobook.

Man needing a nanny finds much more

A man who has just learned that he is a father, also discovers that the mother, a one night stand, is dead. Her parents are fighting to get the baby back. He changes as much of his life as he can but he needs a nanny. He finds that his neighbor is a baby expert. But she isn't - she has taken over her recently deceased mother's business. As the two stumble at first, with a cranky baby, they take giant steps with the baby - and with their own relationship.

This is a relatively long book. Lots of family dynamics, life issues, and a sexy relationship that neither wanted. I enjoyed it thoroughly,

The narrator was wonderful. I loved the playfulness in her voice.
