"Daddy" is not a title Rue Murray wanted, but he never thought he’d have sex with a woman either. Now he’s the unwitting father of a newborn named Alice. Between bartending and cosmetology school, Rue doesn’t have time for babies, but he can’t give her up. What Rue needs is a babysitter, and he’s running out of options. He’s on the verge of quitting school to watch Alice himself when he remembers his reclusive new neighbor, Erik.

Erik Van Nuys is a sci-fi novelist with anxiety issues to spare. He doesn’t like people in general, and he likes babies even less. Still, with his royalties dwindling, he could use the extra cash. Reluctantly, he takes on the role of manny—and even more reluctantly, he finds himself falling for Alice and her flamboyant father.

Rue and Erik are as different as two people can be, and Alice is the unlikeliest of babies, but Rue has never been happier than when Alice and Erik are by his side. At least, not until he receives an offer that puts all his dreams within reach and he’s forced to choose: the future he’s always wanted, or the family he thought he never did.

"Definitely not a small story"

What made the experience of listening to One Small Thing the most enjoyable?

Getting to ride along with Rue and Erik as each of them figured out how to navigate the rough waters of their budding relationship.

What other book might you compare One Small Thing to and why?

We Danced by Jeff Erno. The stories are somewhat similar as are the characters.

Which scene was your favorite?

When Erik, insanely shy, withdrawn, recluse Erik kissed Rue the 2nd time. The 1st time was kinda sorta an accident, the 2nd one really counted. I enjoyed hearing each guys thoughts afterward.

Who was the most memorable character of One Small Thing and why?

I truly adored then all but Erik was a joy to listen to. The way he literally came out of his shell after meeting and falling for Rue and Alice.

Any additional comments?

Such a fantastic story. I was hooked from the start with the "experiment' telling Rue she was knocked up and the way that he never, ever, not even once thought twice about keeping the baby. Then the addition of Erik into their comfortable little bubble called life, the way both men really evolved and grew as they got closer and started falling for one another.

A well written story that was brought to life by Finn Sterling. There weren't many characters but each one was thoroughly explored within the confines of the story by the narrator and I especially enjoyed the way he voiced Erik, which was challenging at times due to his stutter and loner personality. 

Definitely a must listen if you like stories about figuring out who you are, what you want and being just one part of whole that comes together to make their own perfect family.

Piper Vaughn wrote her first love story at eleven and never looked back. Since then, she’s known that writing in some form was exactly what she wanted to do. A reader at the core, Piper loves nothing more than getting lost in a great book—fantasy, young adult, romance, she loves them all (and has a two-thousand-book library to prove it!). She grew up in Chicago, in an ethnically diverse neighborhood, and loves to put faces and characters of every ethnicity in her stories, so her fictional worlds are as colorful as the real one. Above all, she believes that everyone needs a little true love in their life…even if it’s only in a book.

M.J. O'Shea has been writing romance since algebra class in sixth grade (when most of her stories starred her and Leonardo DiCaprio). When she's not writing, she loves listening to nearly all types of music, painting, reading great authors, and on those elusive sunny days in the Pacific Northwest, she loves driving on the freeway with her windows rolled down and her stereo on high.
