I lived a pretty ordinary life-a kid raised in my family's bar who went off to college to escape the small-town life. But when my grandfather died and I returned to take over the family business, I discovered a much more extraordinary world waiting for me. Vampires, werewolves, and fae are real. And they want my baby. My daughter is meant to fulfill some crazy prophecy related to the end of all magical creatures, but I'm having none of that. Now, since I can't get rid of them, the three Sexies who walked into my bar that fateful, stormy night, work for me. They can change diapers and serve drinks while I get a handle on not only being a new single mom, but also the center of a race war between creatures I previously believed were myths. I didn't expect any of this. Not the Sexies. Not the single motherhood. And certainly not the chemistry I feel with each of them. But we don't have time for raging postpartum hormones. Because they aren't the only ones after my child, and keeping her safe is proving a more dangerous job than the What to Expect Books ever prepared me for. Contains mature themes.… (más)
I am in two minds as to how to score this one. I had already read the kindle edition and quite enjoyed it. The narration is a bit of a curate’s egg - good in parts, The narrator puts her all into her performance, having distinctive voices for all the characters and fully expressing the emotional content. Two elements of the narration were off-putting for me. Very near the beginning there is an awful lot of screaming from Bernie, the main character, whilst she is in labour. That doesn’t continue for the whole book so we can pass over that. Unfortunately Bernie’s best friend AJ pops up throughout the book and I found her voice very abrasive. It may not affect others in the same way.
I did find I needed to increase the narration speed very slightly. I really appreciate the great flexibility Audible provides here - vastly superior to that offered by Apple Books. ( )
Since I read this almost in one go, I have no choice but to give it 4 stars. I love Bernie, Rain, AJ and the sexies. I love the story and at the end I shed a little tear, right before I jumped up at the revelation at the very end. So now I will start reading book 2 immediately. ( )

Bizarre but entertaining for the most part
