About this listen

Sadie Powell is going on an adventure. After her beloved mother has a health scare, Sadie decides it's finally time to see the world. So, Sadie crosses the Atlantic to work as an au pair for a year. Austria's supposed to be nice: chocolate, beer, and scenic mountain ranges beckon. She'll figure out teaching and living with an Austrian family along the way.

Inga Weber trusts only herself. Ever since her husband of twenty years left her for an Instagram model, Inga's opted to homeschool her three children. Better keep them close so they can't get hurt. Except it turns out it's hard to keep an au pair on staff when Inga's expectations tower higher than the Alps. Exercises, punctuality, and rigor grind down even the best candidates.

When Sadie arrives at Inga's doorstep, her fate seems clear. She'll be sacked like the rest of them, inadequate in the face of precise demands. Except something about Sadie's warm smile and caring green eyes makes Inga falter. Though the two diverge in their approaches to life, maybe this time, it's different.

Maybe this time, Inga's met someone who can melt her frozen heart.

Contains mature themes.

One of my all time favourite audiobooks. Beautifully written, tender and sexy as hell. Gabra Zackman, my goodness you have a gorgeous voice. This book does nothing to help my Sound of Music fantasies... 😃 ...and damn, who is that lady on the cover!?! ...Mutter 😍

Sooooo good

Similar to other reviewers, I too was reminded of Sound of Music in the first half of the book; the setting, the closed off single parent and militant routine for the children. However, it’s a relatively short book which meant that the story went at a good pace and the story improved. It could have done with another paragraph or two to really give the reader an understanding of how these two make it in the future.
Narrator was great, very sultry!

Not bad!

we all love a happy ending and with this in mind this audio is predictable in a good way. The narrator is super good, sultry and endearing. The only down side was the story seemed rushed at the end , winding up in the last 30 minutes. The book needed to be another hour longer because the listener was a bit short changed re the conclusion.
Listen to another Lily Craig audio with this narrator 'The Pretend Girlfriend' one of my 're-listens'!

I didn't particularly enjoy the first half of this novel as I was reminded a little too much of The Sound of Music - there was even some singing! I preferred the second half as things began to gel a bit for the characters.
