Publisher's summary

Widower Alexander Cartwright has one thing on his mind—his kids. He plans on keeping it that way until his mother hires a sassy, free-spirited nanny to watch them during the holidays.

Art teacher Phoebe Love needs a job and to take a secret time out from her long-term, not always nice boyfriend. She plans to focus on the two boys and figure her situation out, but their father isn’t making that easy on her.

There are three rules I live by: My boys come first, the rest of my family second, and never mix business with pleasure.

I take pride that I’ve never broken these.

Until her.

She’s a wildcard—the type of woman I never chase.

She has no straightforward plan for her life.

Her version of how to be strict with my boys is laughable.

I swear, she selects her outfits based on what tattoo she wants to peek out, just to make me wonder all day what the rest of it looks like against her flesh.

And that blush she somehow has nailed everytime I look at her, wreaks havoc everywhere it shouldn’t.

The most annoying thing about her?

She’s taken by a neanderthal who treats her like crap (based on the phone conversations I’ve secretly overheard).

So I just have to get through the holidays.

Her two month gig can’t be over soon enough.

Or can it?

Holiday Hire is a billionaire single-dad/nanny romance. It’s a slow-burn, steamy standalone novel with a strict widower father and a fun-loving, carefree nanny. This workplace love story is sure to keep you entertained.

4.25 / 5 Stars!

I am kind of a grinch when it comes to holiday romances, but I ADORED this one. It was a great angsty slow burn with a grumpy ranch single dad and a unconventional nanny! There was just enough holiday activities to give you the holiday spirit with a huge focus on a beautiful family dynamic. Small town, cowboy with money, and angst galore? Sign me up! I really enjoyed this read overall and definitely recommend for those looking for a good holiday romance. Amazing performance done in Duel style narration.

What to expect:
Holidays (Thanksgiving / Christmas )
Small Town
Love after loss
Single Dad
Slow Burn
Nanny
Idk if its billionaire, but he makes good money for sure

Great story

I love, love, love this story. Maggie Cole delivers another exceptional Holiday romance.
It’s charming, with angst, jealousy, fun and sexy romance.
Throughout this story is the importance of family. How they are all there for each other for fun , love, support.
Stephanie Nemeth Parker and Teddy Hamilton actually bring this story to life.
They both captured the emotions, personalities and joy of this awesome story. Thank you for a wonderful listen. I loved it.

Great Narration, Good Story

I enjoyed this listen. Narration was fantastic. The story was much lighter than others I've listened to by Maggie Cole. The story was developed , but I some of it could have been fleshed out more (death of Alexander's first wife and how mom and sister's issues affected Phoebe). The ending was also abrupt but I enjoyed the development of Alexander and Pheobe's relationship. I also found the exes entertaining.

Read this book please

Oh how I love Alexander and Phoebes story, I laughed and cried! The story was so good and I couldn’t put it down!

Immature MCs

Teddy Hamilton’s voice was the best part of this Audiobook. Unfortunately, the plot and MCs were a hot mess. Phoebe started as likable, especially because of her family background. It explained why she put up with her ex. I lost respect for her because she wasn't as adamant about blocking him from the start.

Alexander gets points for being a good dad when his wife passes away. His “Stallion” reference was cringy. Both of these MCs had major trust issues and acted like teenagers!
