Thank you @prhaudio @berkleyromance for a copy of the audiobook. 

This story is about the new protection hired for Lady Jane, James and his new second chance romance with the nanny, Laila. James was a tough character to like, he is grumpy and a little arrogant. Laila is the sweet quiet nanny that took this job to be close to her grandmother. 

I really liked seeing the BTS of the staff of Prince Mangus and Lady Jane. The supporting cast of characters really made the story for me. 

As Laila and James work closer together, James warmed up to me with his actions. There are lots of funny moments and there's a lot of tender moments too. 

Alex C. Stewart and Cassandra York did an amazing job with the narration.
