This nanny makes things hard for her boss.
Chase Marshall is many things:
• An attentive single dad
• Jaw-droppingly gorgeous
• My employer for the next thirty days
He’s also the bane of my existence.
He swears I’m a never-ending headache—the most infuriating woman he’s ever met.
If I’m so irritating, then what’s up with the lingering looks when he thinks I’m not watching?
The seemingly innocent touches while making breakfast?
The smirk that graces his kissable lips after one of our verbal spars after his daughter has gone to bed?
One minute he’s coming to my rescue. The next second he’s complaining about how I fold his work shirts. Fine. Fold them yourself.
It turns out that the only time I don’t get under Chase’s skin is when I’m under him.
And that’s where things get complicated.
From USA Today Bestselling author Adriana Locke comes a grumpy, blue-collar single dad that falls hard for his new nanny. This small-town romance is a standalone novel with tons of heat and even more heart.

More Than I Could by Adriana Locke
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was a fun read for a lazy Sunday.
I loved the banter in this book. Megan was a spitfire and I absolutely loved her. She did have it easy growing up, so she was perfect for Chase’s daughter to help her navigate things that were a hit out of control. Chase came off as a grump, but the more time they spent together and when they accepted that there was something there between them, you can’t help to to fall for him the same way Megan did.
Per usual I was LOLing really hard and I’m invested to see what comes next, because if there one thing I came to learn about Adriana Locke is that she delivers every single time.

EXCERPT
As soon as we’re alone, the air shifts. Shadows dance across the tabletop. Megan’s jasmine perfume scents the air, and my body temperature rises.
I struggle to remember our conversation yesterday. I remind myself that my child—the same one that occupied the seat next to me a minute ago—is my priority. Over and over, I replay all the reasons why I can’t afford to get off track.
Why I can’t touch Megan Kramer.
My muscles tighten in my stomach and across the back of my neck as I lift my gaze from the tabletop to her.
She grins. It’s simple, but when coupled with the heat in her eyes, there’s nothing sweet about it. “That was fun.”
I hold her gaze, unable to look away.
This is the first day, Chase. Twenty-nine more to go. Don’t blow it already.
I smirk and push away from the table.
I need to put some distance between us before things get really fun.
