So steamy yet sickeningly sweet

This book was a great rom-com with a whole lot of steam! I absolutely loved parts of the read and other parts I didn't care for, hence the 3 star rating. I thought Cozy's character was incredible! I loved her from the moment she came blazing into Max's office in a flury of tie-dye! She was so confident but laid back. She was clearly driven and successful but in her own way that made her happiest. She was so good with Everly and her empathy and compassion shined through this read.

I also loved Max and all that he was. A little grumpy, a little guarded, a whole lot sexy and protective! His back story with his ex-wife Jessica was heartbreaking but you could see so much growth and maturity come from their situation. I actually really liked Jesssica's character and it's not often you like the ex in a romance book!

I enjoyed the cameos from all of the Wait With Me series characters and how they embraced Cozy into their crew. She fit right into the chaos!

Here's what I didn't care so much for...
Everly, Max's daughter, was written as though she was of kindergarten age and it wasn't until almost mid-way through the book that I realized she was actually 11 years old. Her character was written so immaturely that I couldn't have ever believed she was 11. Later in the read it seemed like the author wrote her with a little more maturity, which I appreciated.

The first time Max called Cozy "sweet cheeks" it was hot because the name was fitting for the intimate scene. But the more he kept calling her that, the more it made me cringe. It felt very degrading to her plus size character.

Overall this book was quite funny and very steamy! I loved the chemistry between the main characters and I actually really enjoyed the break down of their relationship and watching them get over their differences to repair it. The "break up" made sense in this romance read, which it usually never does! Cozy's grand gesture was so cute!

The narration for this book was phenominal, as always when it comes to Erin Mallon and Teddy Hamilton.

4.5 stars

I always love an Amy Daws book. They never fail to light up my day and hit the mark when it comes to humour and family dynamics.

Max and Cassandra a.k.a Cosy are complete opposites. Or at least that's what Max thinks. Max needs a nanny to help with his daughter Everly and what he never expects is a carefree, anti-corporate, "why do more, when you can do nothing" hottie barrelling through his office door.

These two have some close proximity moments, especially when they started the ball rolling with their sexual attraction in the summer house when the electricity all went off. That whole scene had me laughing from start to finish. As their relationship blossoms into something so much more than CEO and nanny, walls start to come down and Max really starts to see how he needs to change his outlook on the world he's creating for Everly and how maybe this care-free nanny is helping him in more ways than one.

I loved this book, especially seeing all the characters from the other books. I'm so excited for the spin-off series with Max's brothers. That is gonna be a hell of a ride.

Finally a millionaire/nanny trope that rocks…

I think what takes the cake for this book is it’s genuine self-awareness. From the reality of Cozy’s confident self-love, to the ethical quandary of screwing the nanny, to the gross underbelly of a millionaire/billionaire tropes in romance writing (ahem…corporate greed), Amy Daws knew what she wanted this story to be and didn’t have any compunctions addressing the grey areas that are so often glossed over in romance. Throw in stellar pacing, spunky characters, good chemistry, AND the narration? Yeah, this was a cut above.

Highly recommend spending a credit etc. on this beauty.

Single parent and plus size nanny

Max and Cozy's story had me laughing and enjoying the story overall, I love the series, but this is not my favorite one, it felt like the story had a good plot, but to make it longer it just started to get the extra drama that didn't hook me, the pacing was good overall, perhaps because I got the audiobook version narrated by two very talented narrators Teddy Hamilton and Erin Mallon, that made me enjoy it more. I love that the author included a plus-size heroine and that made it more refreshing.

This is the fifth book in the Wait With Me Series, a Single Dad Boss Romance. This is a series of intertwined characters. I love this series! Max and Cassandra (Cozy)'s story is funny and steamy. Max is enigmatic, strict, dominant, workaholic, sexy, and very handsome. Cozy is such a wonderful character, beautiful, feisty, smart, and caring. They definitely are opposite attracts, but they are fantastic together. Some scenes are hilarious! I liked the humor in the story. Max's daughter Everly is also a wonderful character. She is so cute! The storyline is romantic and heartwarming. Teddy Hamilton and Erin Mallon did an excellent job with the narration. They are Max and Cozy! I enjoyed it. I HIGHLY recommend this series. Amy Daws NEVER disappoints!

Max and Cozy!

Max is a single father who is devoted to his daughter Everly so with his ex-wife out of town for a few months he decides to hire a nanny. The search has been unsuccessful, and he is down to the final applicant when not only is she late but her life philosophies make her unsuitable however his daughter doesn’t agree.

After what Cozy has been through all she wants is some time to appreciate what life has to offer while she decides what direction she wants her future to take. She and Everly become fast friends, but she never expected to be attracted to her boss. Not only did she believe that he was a ruthless businessman, but she didn’t believe that this sexy man would be interested in her curvy figure, but she couldn’t have been more wrong.

The characters are captivating as despite what they show to others Max and Cozy’s pasts has led to some self doubts which causes some turmoil along the way. The interactions between them are humorous and hot but it still has quite the emotional pull and Everly is a scene stealer. The narrators managed to portray every feeling of the characters and made this wonderful story even better.

OMG! I have a new favorite book by Amy Daws!
I've highly enjoyed this entire series, but I have to say...This one is my top favorite.
It has laugh-out-loud moments, a little angst, so much steam, and a cute 11-year-old.
What more could you ask for?
Oh, you want more? Ok.
Cozy is a confident plus-sized heroine. Max is a sexy 'bossy' CEO.
They both have great back stories that have determined who they are now. Cozy's made me want to cry. The last 30 minutes or so of his book made me want to cry but with happy 'I'm swooning' tears.
You all need this book. It's in my favorites now and I'm going to be thinking about it for time to come.
Erin Mallon and Teddy Hamilton always make a great narration team.
