Loved, loved, loved this book. CC had spunk and character and Wade had more depth than I was expecting considering his fame. The side characters and town were hilarious; I can't wait to read more by this author.

This was the first book I have read by Amy Andrews and I am so pleased I got the opportunity. CC is an extremely organized PA to Wade Carter, a very successful, if retired Quarterback. Everything Wade needs, is available to him with just a text or email to CC, that's assuming that she hasn't already thought of it already. When Wade's dad needs surgery, Wade decides to go back home to Credence to help out on the family ranch. And he wants CC to go with him. Without the big city distractions, Wade is a different man and CC finds herself having different feelings for her boss, but that is a line that can't be crossed. This book was well written, the plot developed at a speed that kept you turning the page, the characters were likeable and relatable, the spinoff subplots interwoven throughout the book added to the story, but most importantly the story engaged you and made you want happiness for the characters. Would definitely recommend this book.

Cecilia (CC) a hard working personal assistant to ex football player Wade must be at his side/or within cell reach 24/7. When Wade has a family emergency that makes him want to be closer to home for the summer he knows CC has to be there with him, but CC is ready to give it all up and move to the beach in CA. CC agrees to work for the 3 months, but never expects what will happen once they arrive to Wade's home town.

**I received a copy of Nothing But Trouble from Net Galley and Entangled: Amara in exchange for a voluntary and honest review. My opinions are mine alone and not solicited.**

Nothing But Trouble by Amy Andrews is the first book in her Credence, Colorado series (Please say yes) I hope that Drew, Arlo and of course Wyatt and his lady love. The premise of having single women come to a town for a week-end to find a lonely bachelor has been on the news plus having grown up in a small town of farmers I wonder why other towns haven't done it. Besides are you going to tell Wade's Mama no? I didn't think so.

CC has been Wade's PA for almost six years and even though it seems that she hold his hand by keeping him supplied with Nerds and of course condoms she can't wait for the next 3 months to fly by. She has enough money saved to buy a beach house in California but with news of Wade's father needing surgery has her packing up both of them to live in a house that looks like Tara from Gone with the Wind. Throw in a piglet named Wilburta and George a Australian shepherd who adores CC and you have the makings of a love story. Until she suddenly realizes that dang Wade suddenly in in her sex dreams but will he realize that he's in love with her before it's too late?

Wade is a retired football quarterback from Denver who goes through women like water and leaves CC to explain to them that they were just a blip on the road of life. She keeps him supplied with Willy Wonka Nerds and emergency supply of condoms. He doesn't hesitate to go help out his dad and brother after a health scare. I loved how his high school friends all give him advice when he's clueless as to why CC has left him plus hopefully there will be more of the bachelors of Credence finding their loves in future books.

I'd wholeheartedly give Nothing but Trouble 4.8 stars and have to say I only wanted to tell Wade Really??? three or four times.

Nothing But Trouble is absolutely delightful and delicious and funny and not to be missed! Retired QB, Wade returns to his small hometown to help with the family pig farm, and hopefully write his biography. His 5.5 years PA, CC, totally burned out from dealing with Wade’s 24/7 demands and the crying women he’d broken up with, had been planning to quit before Wade’s dad needed a pacemaker. Now she finds herself living in Wade’s small town in a replica of Tara for the next three months and somehow being in that small town brings changes in their relationship. The author has created an interesting cast of characters that truly come to life as the story progresses. I enjoyed every minute spent reading. I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book. Highly recommend.

A whole of trouble.

Its like Two Weeks Notice meets quarterbacks.
Cecelia "CC" is PA to quarterback Wade.
He is the worst boss ever!
He can't even get his own protection.
When she turns in her notice, he bamboozles her into going to his hometown for three weeks to work on his book. Will Wade get a clue or loose CC?

Wade has finally found the perfect assistant in CC. A hugely popular football star, even though he retired a few years ago, Wade has had CC at his beck and call 24'7 for 5 years and, doesn't know what he would do without her. CC has decided that she is going to quit in 6 months. Suddenly, she and Wade are in his hometown to help with finding new women for the dying town and, so Wade can write his autobiography. CC is appalled at the fact that they are going to live together but, Wade thinks it's a great idea!
The problem with these two is that neither one of them is willing to admit to the smoldering heat between them. Even when that heat roars into flame, they don't want to deal with the fallout.
How are they both going to continue to work together without giving into these feelings?
This book was a really fun read!

This was everything I love in a read the characters just took my heart on a ride I loved the chemistry between these characters the storyline was just so touching I couldn’t put it down a must read

This book starts with a “bang”. The interactions between the main characters is fun. The story got a little long. The two love interests got lost, they circled, smacked together, circled some more. The story is a good read, fun, steam, humor and romance (toward the end). Good, entertaining read.

Although there isn't much new here - even the title is predictable - it's still a fun rainy day read. The characters are fun, there are plenty of humorous if not quite laugh-out-loud moments, and the plot twist of the town council bringing single women to town on buses to relieve the shortage was entertaining. Recommended.

4.5 stars
Wade “The Catapult” Carter is a retired Super Bowl winning quarterback, five and a half years ago, he hired CC as his personal assistant. CC is closing in on the end of her six year contract and cannot wait to quit and start her life over in California. CC has to give the brush off to Wade’s latest conquest, and she has had enough. She lets Wade know that she is quitting. Wade does not want her to quit, so he makes a deal with CC. He will not sue her for breach of contract if she goes with him to his hometown for three months. They agree and go to Credence Colorado, where CC meets his family and gets entangled in Wade’s mother’s scheme to get women to Credence to revitalize the dying town. Wade and CC start to see each other as something other than employer and employee. I loved both Wade and CC and how their relationship developed. I cannot wait for future stories of the hot bachelors of Credence. I was given an ARC of this book from NetGalley for my honest review.

This was a great romance. It is a bit different which is a good thing. I polished it off in two days. Loved the characters, the plot and the locale. Great fun read with enough drama to fill that need up nicely. I can heartily recommend this one. Well written and an easy read.

What I enjoyed most about “Nothing but Trouble” is these two vibrant characters – Wade and CC – and how their professional relationship hides such deep and strong ties, never easy but always gripping.
Wade is a mix of contradictions: self-centered, yet generous, obtuse until the end, but then undoubtedly enlightened, commitment-phobe until he finally finds out he’s head over heels for CC.
Amy Andrews’ writing style, full of humor, a group of several secondary characters that would be great in a story of their own and the small town setting balanced with Wade’s limelight life make this book a very genuine, enjoyable read.

I received an arc copy of this book from NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for my honest review. This book was hilarious! It was my first book by this author and I hope there are more to come in this series. Wade is a former NFL player used to getting his way and CC is his right hand gal who helps him get his way for almost six years, but she’s finally hade enough. No more calls to the florist for flowers for breakups, CC is finally going to achieve her goal of moving to California, but first there’s just one more job. Move to Wade’s tiny hometown to help his write his memoir. Along the way she’s going to help his town solve their problem, no young woman staying around. It could have gone the wrong way but the whole scenario was hilarious-farm animals, senior citizens and many hot single men. Along the way we meet numerous characters for (hopefully) future books. The relationship between Wade and CC is definitely a slow build but well worth the wait. 5 stars

This is the first book I have read by Mrs. Andrews and I loved it. CC and Wade were great. They had great chemistry and were just fun to read about. Also all the supporting characters were great as well. I thought this would be the typical fall in love with your boss romance but it really wasn't at first. The book starts out with CC and Wade with a working relationship. He is her boss and she is his PA and not lines crossed. However he does drive her crazy with his man whorish ways.

This book was a quick read, dual POV and just the right amount of steaminess. I really hope Arlo, Tucker and Drew get books because I loved them and the way they wore out Wade.

I hope there will be more to come from this town, all the people are so cute!
Nothing beats a mama that knows her boys 😉

I love how Andrews can take a plot that I have read a dozen times and take it in completely unexpected directions.. I literally read another book about a football player falling in love with his PA after she quits a week ago and was not sure how this book would compare but they were so different that it was apples and oranges in the end. I was not at all anticipating the small town aspect of this story but I loved it and the cast of the characters it brought along with it. Adding such a large dimension to the plot did mean that a lot of the focus was taken off of the development of feeling between CC and Wade but what time they do spend discovering this new aspect to their relationship is so sweet that I did not mind at all. The secondary romance on the other hand was a little too insta-lovey for me which made me sad because I loved the character involved and was hoping he would get his own book rather than a rushed story in this one.

Wade doesn't realize that everything he has wanted is right under his nose until it is almost too late. CC has been Wade's personal assistant for years and she can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel, her contract is almost up. Things change when Wade needs to head home and help with the family business well his dad is ill amd drags CC along. CC sees the softer side of Wade around his family and the feelings she's been hiding start to surface. I loved Wade and CC together they balance each other so well and they balance each other so well and have such great chemistry. I also loved how CC didn't take any crap from Wade. I enjoyed the main characters and well as the secondary characters in this story.

CC has been PA to Wade for the past 5 and a half years, being at his beck and call 24/7. But now she’s had enough. Just as she’s about to give in her notice, his dad gets a heart attack and Wade decides to love to his hometown, Credence for 3 months and he wants CC with him.
Living under one roof in a small town brings a subtle but undeniable shift in their relationship. It has them sharing things they never have before and seeing each other in a different light than that of boss and employee.
Nothing but trouble is a feel good, well written and has some wonderful characters. I love the fact that CC is a strong minded, take no prisoners heroine and it provided some really fun moments. I enjoyed reading this book and look forward to more in the series.

I received a copy of Nothing But Trouble by Amy Andrews from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed the small town setting of this novel, as well as the main and secondary characters. I liked that the community and kinship was believable between everyone. The main characters, former NFL quarterback Wade Carter and his PA Cecilia "CC" Morgan, had great rapport and hilarious dialogue. Their conflict was CC's desire to complete her employment contract with Wade and move to the California coast while Wade didn't want her leave him, especially not while he was writing his memoirs to publish or dealing with his father's health situation and hometown's issues. Their compromise was that CC would move to his hometown with him for three months and that's where the bulk of the novel took place. Both characters show growth and empathy for each other throughout the novel and a slow burn to romance so that was enjoyable.
