The Wrong Kind of Love
The Boys of Jackson Harbor Book 1
By: Lexi Ryan
Narrated by: Summer Roberts, Tyler Donne
I loved this book, it grabbed my attention right from the start and held straight to the end. I thoroughly enjoyed Lexi Ryan’s wonderful writing style as well as the interesting storylines and characters she created. Her characters are complex and well developed, they are realistic and easy to relate to. I adored the female lead, Nicole aka Nic. she is kindhearted, always looking to do the right thing for others even if it was not in her own best interest including taking the job that was intended for her sister. Ethan Jackson is a single dad, he has not been interested in getting into a relationship since his wife died. HIs priority is his daughter Lilly. His mother, Kathleen usually watched Lilly when Ethan, a OBGYN doctor got called out. Needing to go on a trip she hired a live in nanny to watch Lilly, she asked Lilly to fill in for her sister, Veronica and not say anything to Ethan, she had her reasons for this. The night Nicole arrived in town she went to Jackson’s Brews to drink. She catches Ethan eye and there is something about her that attracts her to him. He winds up walking her back to her hotel, had a few intimate moments before he gets called in for work. The next day he is in for a big surprise when he meets the new Nanny hired to help with his daughter. He assumes the worst about her but he tells her she can stay until he finds a replacement. I loved how everything played out, the book was well plotted, the story had a natural flow with plenty of drama, some angst, plenty of heartfelt moments and a slow burn to a wonderful romance. I loved the chemistry between them, also loved how Nic was with Lilly. Have to give a shout out to the girls and the nickname Dr. McBroody, too funny. Awesome secondary characters and family dynamics, can not help but love those Jacksons, I am looking forward to what comes next in this series. Lexi Ryan, thank you for this wonderful story and the emotional rollercoaster ride. Also thank you for your heartfelt authors note.
I listened to the Audible edition, Summer Roberts and Tyler Donne are terrific narrators and voice artists. They bring these characters to life giving each their own voice and personality. Their portrayal of the characters was spot on, they did a great job projecting the characters emotions & attitude into their performance as well as the drama of the story. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for this great listen🎧
