So steamy yet sickeningly sweet

This book was a great rom-com with a whole lot of steam! I absolutely loved parts of the read and other parts I didn't care for, hence the 3 star rating. I thought Cozy's character was incredible! I loved her from the moment she came blazing into Max's office in a flury of tie-dye! She was so confident but laid back. She was clearly driven and successful but in her own way that made her happiest. She was so good with Everly and her empathy and compassion shined through this read.

I also loved Max and all that he was. A little grumpy, a little guarded, a whole lot sexy and protective! His back story with his ex-wife Jessica was heartbreaking but you could see so much growth and maturity come from their situation. I actually really liked Jesssica's character and it's not often you like the ex in a romance book!

I enjoyed the cameos from all of the Wait With Me series characters and how they embraced Cozy into their crew. She fit right into the chaos!

Here's what I didn't care so much for...
Everly, Max's daughter, was written as though she was of kindergarten age and it wasn't until almost mid-way through the book that I realized she was actually 11 years old. Her character was written so immaturely that I couldn't have ever believed she was 11. Later in the read it seemed like the author wrote her with a little more maturity, which I appreciated.

The first time Max called Cozy "sweet cheeks" it was hot because the name was fitting for the intimate scene. But the more he kept calling her that, the more it made me cringe. It felt very degrading to her plus size character.

Overall this book was quite funny and very steamy! I loved the chemistry between the main characters and I actually really enjoyed the break down of their relationship and watching them get over their differences to repair it. The "break up" made sense in this romance read, which it usually never does! Cozy's grand gesture was so cute!

The narration for this book was phenominal, as always when it comes to Erin Mallon and Teddy Hamilton.

Hilarious!

This is the fifth book in the Wait With Me Series, a Single Dad Boss Romance. This is a series of intertwined characters. I love this series! Max and Cassandra (Cozy)'s story is funny and steamy. Max is enigmatic, strict, dominant, workaholic, sexy, and very handsome. Cozy is such a wonderful character, beautiful, feisty, smart, and caring. They definitely are opposite attracts, but they are fantastic together. Some scenes are hilarious! I liked the humor in the story. Max's daughter Everly is also a wonderful character. She is so cute! The storyline is romantic and heartwarming. Teddy Hamilton and Erin Mallon did an excellent job with the narration. They are Max and Cozy! I enjoyed it. I HIGHLY recommend this series. Amy Daws NEVER disappoints!

Finally a millionaire/nanny trope that rocks…

I think what takes the cake for this book is it’s genuine self-awareness. From the reality of Cozy’s confident self-love, to the ethical quandary of screwing the nanny, to the gross underbelly of a millionaire/billionaire tropes in romance writing (ahem…corporate greed), Amy Daws knew what she wanted this story to be and didn’t have any compunctions addressing the grey areas that are so often glossed over in romance. Throw in stellar pacing, spunky characters, good chemistry, AND the narration? Yeah, this was a cut above.

Highly recommend spending a credit etc. on this beauty.

Single parent and plus size nanny

Max and Cozy's story had me laughing and enjoying the story overall, I love the series, but this is not my favorite one, it felt like the story had a good plot, but to make it longer it just started to get the extra drama that didn't hook me, the pacing was good overall, perhaps because I got the audiobook version narrated by two very talented narrators Teddy Hamilton and Erin Mallon, that made me enjoy it more. I love that the author included a plus-size heroine and that made it more refreshing.

Max and Cozy!

Max is a single father who is devoted to his daughter Everly so with his ex-wife out of town for a few months he decides to hire a nanny. The search has been unsuccessful, and he is down to the final applicant when not only is she late but her life philosophies make her unsuitable however his daughter doesn’t agree.

After what Cozy has been through all she wants is some time to appreciate what life has to offer while she decides what direction she wants her future to take. She and Everly become fast friends, but she never expected to be attracted to her boss. Not only did she believe that he was a ruthless businessman, but she didn’t believe that this sexy man would be interested in her curvy figure, but she couldn’t have been more wrong.

The characters are captivating as despite what they show to others Max and Cozy’s pasts has led to some self doubts which causes some turmoil along the way. The interactions between them are humorous and hot but it still has quite the emotional pull and Everly is a scene stealer. The narrators managed to portray every feeling of the characters and made this wonderful story even better.

Loved this!

OMG! I have a new favorite book by Amy Daws!
I've highly enjoyed this entire series, but I have to say...This one is my top favorite.
It has laugh-out-loud moments, a little angst, so much steam, and a cute 11-year-old.
What more could you ask for?
Oh, you want more? Ok.
Cozy is a confident plus-sized heroine. Max is a sexy 'bossy' CEO.
They both have great back stories that have determined who they are now. Cozy's made me want to cry. The last 30 minutes or so of his book made me want to cry but with happy 'I'm swooning' tears.
You all need this book. It's in my favorites now and I'm going to be thinking about it for time to come.
Erin Mallon and Teddy Hamilton always make a great narration team.

Amazing

Woohoo!! We've returned to Boulder, Colorado, where we've visited before, more than once. We've even met the sexy CEO millionaire, Max. So excuse my excitement ....squeeee!

In need of a nanny for the summer, Max Fletcher is left with no choice but to hire Cozy Barlow.

Let the fun begin!.....

This book is amazing. They seem to be the epitome of 'never the twain shall meet' personality wise BUT opposites attract, right?

I was alternately, gasping, laughing, shocked, intrigued and stunned with the cuteness of the relationship between Cozy and Max's daughter as well as the developing relationship between our two main characters.

All this and catching up with old friends in Boulder, what more could you ask for?

Max is everything!

I loved Max and Cosy it was the perfect end to the series but would be equally good as a stand alone
The narrators were a perfect choice and did an amazing job

Terrific!

Funny, warm, witty, hot, delicious. Just a brief summation of this brilliant audio. The story is populated by favourite characters from prior stories, and with central characters in Cossie, Max and, of course, Everly, I found new favourites! As for Erin Mallon and Teddy Hamilton! They are simply amazing. Fluent, totally brilliant and masters of their art. Their verbal skills are the best! I could listen to them forever! 💖💖💖💖💖💖
