About this listen
A single Marine dad romantic comedy
I got out of the Marine Corps to give my daughter a better life. I'm a strong and capable single dad. I got this, right? Not so much.
The one thing my daughter wants is the hardest to find - a mom. It's not like they're selling hot intelligent women at Walmart these days, and with the amount of baggage I'm carrying around, I might be out of luck.
Yeah, so.
We moved from Oahu to Maui. I needed a job, a place to live, and to get us settled. I thought it would be simple, but let's just say...mistakes have been made.
- Mistake #1: I took the first job I was offered. (Should've probably asked a couple more questions about the required uniform.)
- Mistake #2: I flirted with Kai, the first attractive woman who crossed my path. (So far out of my league she might as well be a Hawaiian princess.)
- Mistake #3: I fell head over heels for that woman. (See Mistake #2.)
Now I'm standing here showing my butt - no, literally. It's the required uniform at Man Buns, the restaurant I'm working at. (See Mistake #1).
In any case, I can tell you one thing - it's damn near impossible to convince the woman I can't live without to take me seriously when I'm serving up burgers, half-naked, and women are constantly ogling my assets.
I've gotta try, though. Because Kai is the woman for me, and she's perfect with Aya. I've just gotta get these man buns in gear and figure out how to win her over.

Story
It all started when I got a new job, which came with a new guy. That’s when I managed to cause an unforeseeable disaster, which took down an entire company in less than a week. The new job, the new guy, and a big mouth led to another giant mistake. Then, one more for good measure. Flash forward a couple of weeks, and...I’ve got milk...because I’m dating the milkman, and yes, milk did his body good. Not only do milkmen still exist, but I’ve come to learn that some women hire a milkman to deliver more than just milk.

Story
It was destiny - the night I met Hudson Demasi. I remember how effortlessly he stole my heart - his dark eyes and quick smile forever etched into my mind. We spent one incredible night together under a haze of tequila - a perfect night. And when I woke the next day, he was gone. I never expected to see him again - especially not five years later standing on a stage in front of thousands of screaming fans as none other than hot, new country artist, Hudson James.

Story
When Dani gets a flat tire on her way home one evening, she is, at first, less than thrilled to be helped out by a man that is clearly too charming for his own good. Even if he is handsome. And buff. And the king of the thousand watt smile. However, prickly Dani is eventually charmed by her hottie knight in shining sunglasses. And a brief moment spent on the side of the road on a hot summer evening quickly leads to a first date.

Story
Money or love? Which would you choose? You probably just answered the question in your head, thinking it's an easy decision. For me, it's not. Did I mention it's a lot of money? A hell of a lot. I needed to go far away to think it through. As I embarked on an impulsive trip, I hit a detour when I met sexy Carter in the airport lounge. We struck up a heated conversation. Then, he left. I thought I'd never see him again. But fate had other plans. Surprise! He was the pilot of my flight.

I'm not a one-night stand kind of woman. I'm especially not the woman who has a few drinks at a concert and ends up in bed with my childhood celebrity crush, Eli Walsh. However, that's exactly where I find myself. What's a girl to do after a drunken mistake? Run. I grab my clothes and get away from the powerful, irresistible, and best-sex-of-my-life superstar as fast as I can.

Gorgeous face and sexy, tattooed, hard body a must. If you aren't a dangerous bad*ss with the x-rated skills and virility to match, don't bother.

In order to take the throne, I must find a wife. Have I mentioned Peach would not have been my 100th choice? But I've no other options, and she needs a favor that my new position can fulfill quite nicely.

There comes a point in your life where you have to say enough is enough. I wasted my college years on a guy who played with my head, played with my heart. I was blinded by the fairy tale, the one that didn't exist. The day I gave up on the idea of happily ever after, my focus became me. Moving forward and establishing my career. Until one day.... I didn't expect him. My new boss, a six foot two, inked rock god. I believed I was working for the record label - I was wrong.

The most valuable lesson Emerson Moore ever learned was from her parents: Never get too attached to someone else. That's why this hard-partying college student plays by her own code of bedroom conduct, refusing to stay with the same guy for too long. She gets all the pleasure of having a good time without the messiness of a relationship. So what if frat-house hopping has earned her a certain reputation around campus? At least no one gets hurt this way - especially her.

I fancy myself a purveyor of truth, a sifter of lies, a cutter of bullshit. It's not a gift, but rather all skill, honed to a razor's edge after one too many trips down the rabbit hole. Some may dismiss my talent as misguided cynicism, but they'd be wrong. Clichés about hope and faith in mankind are an effort to keep the dreamers dreaming. Experiences don't lie - people do. While I'm not proud of the circumstances that led me to this way of thinking, I respect the journey.

That’s how he finds himself standing at the altar…as his ex-girlfriend ties the knot with his very famous best friend.

Becoming a nanny was not part of my plan, but when tragedy strikes, I need a new beginning. I've given up on the idea of love, so living with a stranger shouldn't be a problem. My past broke me beyond repair, and I’ve learned to accept that. What I’m not prepared for is my new boss to be the unbearably sexy single dad Dexter Cross. He exudes a confidence I’ve never known and brings out a sass I didn’t know I had. Teasing him comes naturally, but the more time I spend with him and his children, the harder I fear it will be to leave. And I must leave.

4.5 credit worthy ⭐
Story = 4⭐
Narration = 4.5⭐
Overall rating = 4.5⭐
This was my first Shari Ryan book but it certainly won't be my last. With a title like "Man Buns" and the hard bodied, tatted display of eye candy blatantly splashed across the cover of this book, I went in expecting fun, flirty, light, beach read type material. The kind of feel good romance where you can almost just use a fraction of your brain power to read it because it's all about the fun and escapism. But color me surprised (in a totally good way) when Shari Ryan actually took it deeper than I expected touching on topics like loss, grief, betrayal, loneliness and self doubt, all while still maintaining an air of fun and flirty with a solid touch of humor. The family dynamics between Denver, as a single dad, with his young daughter as well as with Kai in her role as a sister & guardian really resonated.
Samantha Summers and Adam James Conner did a great job bringing these characters to life with their narration. Conner did particularly well with the watered down texas drawl of a Southern native who's been away from home but still has that touch of their roots when portraying Denver.

Potential for greatness
This book was good but it has the potential to be great. First, let's start with the audio recording ; it skipped in between a few chapters and there were a few long seconds of silence. That should have been edited out. Secondly, the story could have exploded. but there where gaps in the story that didn't make sense how they connected them in the end like the initial meeting between the characters, why was it never brought up till the last five minutes and nothing about it was ever eluded to ever in the whole story. Then there was the estranged wife/mother, we first hear about her looking for her ex husband in one breathe and in the next, she miraculously found his place, broke in, and waited for him to come home from the party he was just at, where he got the phone call about her. The structure and balance could use some work.
Narration was good with the female but the male was putting me to sleep Everytime he spoke.
