Publisher's summary

Will a bi-reawakening be what this single father needs to heal his wounded heart? Looks like a job for nanny….

When Heath Manfred is left in a lurch after an acrimonious divorce, he turns to the Brotherhood for help with finding a nanny for his three-year-old daughter. But the last thing he expects is for the nanny who shows up to interview for the job to be a hunky man. Correction, the last thing he expects is for Aubrey to assume the nanny position is live-in…and for him to go along with that and have Aubrey move in.

Maybe Heath’s attraction to men wasn’t just part of his wild university days after all…With few other options in life due to a shameful event in his past, Aubrey is overjoyed to move in with Heath and his daughter. He adores Eugenie…and he adores Heath as well. It’s against the nanny code to fall in love with your employer, but Aubrey is helpless when faced with Heath’s grumpy ways and the smoldering attraction between them.

But when Heath’s ex shows up again to cause trouble, Heath’s and Aubrey’s budding love will be put to the test. Can the Brotherhood help them weather the storm, or are the two men too different to form a lasting relationship in the face of struggle?

Nanny Negotiations is the first book in The Brotherhood: Legacy series…which tells modern-day stories of the men of The Brotherhood. It involves a grumpy/sunshine relationship that includes class differences, a bi-reawakening, unexpected living arrangements, a really great dad, a really horrible ex, love saving the day, and, of course, the nearly two-hundred-year-old organization known as The Brotherhood.

Loved i!!!

Heath, recently divorced from a harpy of a model, hires Aubrey to be a nanny for his daughter. Aubrey was so much fun, especially when he says things with no filter, lol. It's clear from the beginning that he's smitten with both father and daughter, loved how their relationship evolved (yes, the old cliche of falling for the nanny was alive and well but done a little differently). I loved how the Brotherhood rallied to help Heath when sh!t happened. Loved the story.
The narration was fantastic! I hadn't read the book, so I was all the more impressed that Graham Mack kept me engaged from beginning to end. His attention to detail, especially the tone of the characters when on the phone and the Cornish burr of Aubrey's parents, (they are hilarious!)
I highly recommend listening to this book. Hoping to hear more from both author and narrator!

Great love story!

Narration by Graham Mack is absolutely brilliant.
I highly recommend this one!

There are stories you don’t want to end, this is one of them. So good! A love story just the way a love story should be.
Not overly dramatic on the love front, and enough happening to keep you interested and keep you listening.
Heath and Aubrey are a perfect match, add little Eugenie to the match and they’re complete!

“….. Aubrey felt as though he’d found the place where he belonged and the person he belonged to.”

A great start to The Brotherhood: Legacy series, and I can’t wait for the next one!

Drama and sweet romance

I loved the story of Aubrey and Heath; Merry Farmer had it well thought out and I’d wished it was longer. However, the narrator’s accent was not easy to follow by a non-cockney English speaking person. That as the only thing that had me rewinding and listening closely to be able to follow what was going on, more than I’d liked. But overall it was entertaining. I recommend Merry Farmer’s work. ❤️
