Reluctant single dad. Arrogant villain. Cold-hearted heir. And the enemy of my brothers. I should hate him, so why can’t I stop wanting him?
Hawk McQuaid is not the guy who stays. He doesn’t do relationships. Especially not with the virgin amputee who accidentally became his nanny during an elevator mishap. But he’s wound himself around my heart.
And it’s the last place he should be. He’ll hurt me. It’s not even a question of if, it’s when. Because hearts like his don’t love…they destroy.
A few months ago I read an ARC of ‘No Small Bet’. And I looooved this book so much! I’ve been wanting to listen to more audiobooks, since I always feel like I’m missing out on those. So when I was lucky enough to win ‘No Small Bet’ as an audiobook I figured it was meant to be. And I started listening right away.
In ‘No Small Bet’ we listen to the story of Hawk McQuaid. Hawk has just found out he is a father, and he is the only one who can take care of the little girl. But how is he supposed to care for someone, if the only thing he ever cared about was himself and his money? From the moment I started reading this book I was hooked. Hawk definitely is an arrogant, cold-hearted guy who never had to work for anything. But somehow, I could feel there was more to him than we learned at first. And trust me, he didn’t make it easy to be liked.
Addy is not sure what to do with her life now she is done with college, and after losing her leg in a car accident. She is tough, hardworking and definitely very stubborn. But what is she supposed to do now? When she gets offered a lot of money to be the nanny of Hawk’s baby girl, she simple can’t say no. Even if that means she has to move in with one of the McQuaid brothers. Her family definitely won’t be happy about that. But Addy can take care of herself. But is she immune for Hawk’s look and charms?
After listening only a few minutes I was hooked. I loved listening to this book through the voices of Rose Dioro and Connor Crais. Obviously I’m pretty new to this audiobook world, but their voices where so fitting to the story and I soon got pulled back into the story and couldn’t stop. I found myself trying to finds moments to keep on listening. Doing laundry never was as fun!
Although I already read this book, listening to it gave me a whole new experience and I still loved every moment of this book. I’m determined to listen to more audiobooks after this one.
