Review

Oh my gosh, this was such a perfect, happy, loving story. I adored the men, the baby, and the best friends and family.

I don’t get baby fever, but GAH!, this really is the cutest story. Gideon is such a fantastic human being who is in over his head (as a new single parent is bound to be), and despite feeling like he needs to do it all, realizes he’s going to need help.

Enter Toby, nanny extraordinaire, who is the most delightful person. Sunny, optimistic, and such an amazing support for Gideon. Not just by doing the work, but by reassuring him and helping to steady him.

Also, Toby’s family … *chef’s kiss* I’m so happy Gideon found a whole extended family in Toby. This little family they’ve created is a dream and makes me a little gooey inside.

And let's talk about Glen Lloyd’s narration. That man is such a perfect pairing for NR Walker, does an outstanding job on this story. The voices, the timing, the characterizations, all perfect. I may also have a major crush on him, that voice…sigh.

This is absolutely one of those stories that I’d want to reread/relisten to when you need a pick me up.

Synopsis

Gideon Ellery had the perfect life. Nice house, great job, and a long-time boyfriend. Weeks after adopting his nephew, his boyfriend splits, leaving Gideon a single father to a newborn. Overwhelmed, sleep deprived, and unsure how to navigate fatherhood, he’s asked to return to the office. He’s overwhelmed and at his breaking point.

Toby Barlow is back in Sydney after three years of studying, travelling, and nannying in the UK. He needs work and a place to live, and the perfect solution drops in his lap. After all, caring for a sweet baby in a beautiful home owned by a gorgeous single man isn’t exactly terrible.

Gideon isn’t too keen to share his life with a stranger, but his need for help is too great. Sunshiny Toby isn’t prepared for a grumpy Gideon or his utterly adorable son, Benson. Or how easily he slots into their lives. And Gideon’s not prepared for how much he needs Toby.

Or how much he wants him.

Neither is prepared for the complications of falling in love
