Summary
From USA Today best-selling 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.
This grumpy single dad falls hard for the nanny.
Chase Marshall is many things:
- An attentive single dad.
- Jaw-droppingly gorgeous.
- My employer for the next 30 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.
More from the same

The nanny and the blue-collar worker
A fantastic standalone for now (the hero does have brothers) from Adriana Locke as Megan takes a temporary job as nanny to blue-collar worker Chase’s teenage daughter. Their banter was wicked and the chemistry between them sizzled from the first moment they met and the struggle to resist was real as they flirted and danced around the other, but Chase is determined to keep things purely platonic for the sake of his daughter Kennedy who was going through the terrible teens…. like that was really going to happen! There was so much I enjoyed about this book. From Megan and Chase’s relationship and how klutzy she was around him, Chase’s relationship with Kennedy, their love for each other was apparent even when she drove him crazy by trying to grow up too quickly to Megan finding a way of getting through to Kennedy, being the friend and shoulder she desperately needed. My one niggle with More Than I Could would be I felt Kennedy’s issues at school were left unresolved.
There was a fantastic flow to the narration of this audiobook provided by Tor Thom and Maxine Mitchell. Both are fantastic narrators on their own but together they brought this book to life putting every emotion into their portrayals of Chase and Megan with Megan especially managing to convey the fun and flirty side of Megan but also adding a touch of pathos when she related stories of her childhood and the pain she felt. Together they made this a fantastic listening experience.

Grumpy Single Dad Yumminess!
From the moment Chase and Megan met, there was instant chemistry and some tension filled hate. Verbal quips. I ate their story up! Chase was so delectably grumpy and it was the best watching him fall. Megan love and protection with Kennedy just warmed my heart. I loved their connection. I absolutely adored the found family and home is more than just a physical place within this story. More Than I Could had everything I’ve come to know and love with Adriana Locke; sweet, swoony, spicy and filled with so much heart.

These two were everything!
Adriana Locke always writes the best small town romances and this one is no different! This single dad x nanny, small town romantic comedy was everything.
From the beginning I loved Chase and Megan so much! Megan's relationship with Kennedy, Chase's daughter, was so deep to where Megan understood Kennedy was adorable.
I went through every emotion possible during this book and it was hawt! Maxine Mitchell and Tor Thom's narration was perfect for these characters and I really hope we get a chance to visit this small town again in future Adriana Locke books!
Rating: 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic story
What a fantastic audiobook..and just what I needed to lift my spirits. More Than I Could by Adriana Locke was such a pleasure to listen too,the witty banter was AMAZING and made me laugh more than once. Chase is a single dad to a 14 year old girl Kennedy who seems to be acting out lately and always getting into trouble with school. The problem is Chase has a job that takes him away from Kennedy for days and he needs someone to take care of her while he is away for a month. His mum's friend was meant to do it but she can no longer make it and so she is sending her daughter to do the job. Megan is at a loose end she has just lost her job and is back living with her mum which is not ideal for her..So when her mum is incapacitated and needs her to go to a small town to take care of her friends granddaughter she can't say no. Getting into the town is not easy and she ends up breaking down and stranded at the side of the road until a tall dark stranger comes to her rescue...But even though he is as HOT as all hell he is a grump and they end up trading words instead....Its a good thing she will never have to see the HOTTIE again right?......WRONG the sex on legs man is Chase and its his daughter she will be watching over.. The attraction between these two is recognised from the start,they both know that they have chemistry but agree to not act on it. That agreement is soon shot to hell and dies a horrible death because they cannot keep their hands off eachother and a secret affair begins...Kennedy must never find out. This story is so delightful with great characters you fall in love with.. The Narration is Fabulous Maxine Mitchell and Tor Thom did an excellent job portraying Chase and Megan and all the other characters within this book. I really enjoyed listening to them. Adriana's words are so consuming this book has minimum angst but has a strong storyline with both Chase and Megan having issues with committment and with Kennedy having problems with one of her teachers at school. So there are alot of things to work out between the three of them,and Adriana Locke has some really wise things to say through her characters..I think I actually learned something about how to cope with a teen. This story was funny,sweet and steamy and I loved listening to it. An EXCELLENT story. 5 Stars

More Than I Could
🎧🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧🎧
❤️easy breezy
❤️entertaining
❤️lighthearted & heartwarming
❤️low angst
❤️adults adulting properly ❤️😍❤️😍❤️
↪↪ things that popped in my head while listening :)
📚STORY📚: More Than I Could is one of those stories that you just can’t help but fall into in an easy breezy manner. After I finished listening, I could see where the story could have gone down a different road and maybe been a more in-depth angsty plot, digging deeper into the characters backgrounds to see how life had brought them to where they are today but Adriana’s choice to focus on the ’here and now’ of it all was a delightfully fulfilling choice! Honestly, it was a charming #swoonfest most of the time and entertaining all of the time! This is a perfect story for any romance reader, but especially good for any reader that’s maybe having a reading slump because it will make you smile broadly and laugh lightheartedly, even when it tugs at your heart!
🎧NARRATION🎧: Tor Thom and Maxine Mitchell are both favorite narrators of mine, and they did not disappoint with this narration! They brought the story and all the characters to life gloriously and made this already great story even better!
Well done!

Lovely listening
I enjoyed this book. Very low angst and likable characters. I was expecting the banter to last a little longer, due to the blurb on this book. It doesn’t show to be in a series but I would like to hear all the brothers stories so I hope she does make it a series. I love the narration, I have heard both of these narrators before, which is one reason I wanted to listen to this book. I definitely recommend this book.

loved it!!
Gah, So anyone who knows me, knows that I love a single-dad romance and this was such a fun romance, add in small town and make it a rom-com and I AM SOLD!
This book is a prime example of why I love romance so much. It is a mixture of tropes that I love all rolled into one, made into an epic, fun, steamy, addictive story that I couldn't put down!
From the beginning, I fell in love with Chase and Kennedy, she was a preteen with an attitude and it had me laughing at times... And I adored Megan and Chase together. Their attraction and chemistry were made apparent and the banter between these two had me laughing and swooning!
This book was amazing, I honestly can't say a bad word about it!
Highly recommend it!
5 STARS!

Fun! Fun! Fun!
Talk about a fun meet cute! Adriana Locke starts this story out with a bang! Megan is having car trouble and who should stop? Chase is there, giving her a hard time, has no idea who she is and both now have bad impressions of each other! Now they find out she is the nanny that Chase's mom hired to watch out for his daughter! Will it work? Well, first of all, this single dad, enemies to lovers story is filled with humor, true teenage angst, unbelievable bullying and passion! How could I go wrong? Chase is a tough nut. I love his priorities, but also how he can see his mistakes as things happen. Megan is feisty! She doesn't take any guff from anyone, is loyal to a "t" and will fight for those she loves. This book is the perfect pacing of a love story, building on lust and love. I especially love the secondary characters, would love to hear Gavin's story. He is quite a character! Locke has given her heart to this one and I loved every minute!
Tor Thom and Maxine Mitchell are our storytellers, and what story they tell! Thom is the grumpy, single dad, not giving an inch! I love his growliness and when it turns, his heart is on his sleeve, all with an inflection in his voice, melting my heart in the process. Mitchell comes in full force as Megan! Every emotion Megan has comes through, from anger and frustration to teasing and undeniable love. It's a fantastic pairing for this couple and a listen that will stick with me.

Fun story, good narration
Low angst, fun characters, plenty of steam and overall a fun time, this is kind of a forced proximity, single dad romance. Fun supporting characters, a well developed world that I would love to explore more of and just generally a sweetness to the interplay between characters that made me smile a lot. Maxine Mitchell as a narrator was perfect for this audiobook. While Tor Thom was good, his voice didn't match what I thought the male narration should sound like. That said, I loved living through this story through the audiobook. Can’t wait for the next one!
