I never thought I’d be into the whole age gap thing, but it turns out I just needed Asher and Phoebe to convince me. I really enjoyed this book.

This book was amazing! I could not put this book down, I ate every second of this up!
Asher, good looking single dad, with a deaf daughter that needs a nanny. And his boss just so happens to have a daughter who is doing to school to become an Audiologist, knows ASL, and is home from college for the summer…
So needless to say she becomes the nanny!
The way these two fall is just heart warming, honestly Phoebe fell for Asher’s daughter, Olivia, before him and their relationship is adorable!

Another quick read about an older hot small town cop single dad who falls for the younger nanny who is his boss's daughter and was hired because she knows ASL, which is needed to care for his daughter who is Deaf. The pull between them was obvious but the false starts while they kept trying to maintain that "we can't do this, it didn't happen" were annoying. I also didn't realize going into the story that there'd be a pregnancy involved, which doesn't bother me but I know it might for some people. I wouldn't say I loved this book but it was fine and there's something about these small town series that once I read one I'm in for the long haul. I might go back and read the related series before I continue this one though.

Phoebe returns home to her small town after leaving college after an embarrassing and life altering incident. When her father the police Sheriff offers her to be the nanny of a fellow officers daughter, she has little to no choice.
Asher is in need of a nanny for his 9 year old daughter Olivia. Olivia is deaf and needs someone who speaks ASL as that’s her only form of communication.
When the agency’s nanny falls through he has little options but to accept Phoebes offer to take the job. While he doesn’t trust her and doesn’t really like her, as she is the only one who speaks ASL he’s stuck with her.
While the attraction between Asher & Phoebe becomes to great for them to dismiss they agree to be together,be each others secret until she goes back to school. When it becomes clear they have feelings for each other they have to make a choice, when the past comes crashing into their present there are decisions that need to be made.
I really liked this book, the MMC Asher is one of the great male leads. He protects his family and the ones he loves with a passion. He is grumpy and a perpetual bachelor to everyone else but to Phoebe he is her marshmallow.

Read this in one sitting, loved it! I’m such a sucker for single dads and ugh the dynamic between these two was so beautiful to watch. I fell in love with this town and all the characters in it. I’m so excited to see where this series takes us!

Forbidden Hearts is the first book in a new series that will feature the Whitlock family in Sugarloaf. This story is a masterful tale of two people finding exactly what they need in the totally wrong person at the worst possible time. I usually read books at a pretty fast pace, but I had to take my time with this one and truly savor it. I don’t even want to give my usual description for background. I’ll let you look up the blurb, if you wish, but please read this book! Experience it as it comes! I laughed, I cried, I blushed, and my heart melted for Asher, Phoebe, and especially little Olivia!! Everything I’ve come to love about a Corinne Michaels story was there plus a twist that I didn’t see coming!! The world building and character development were the best I’ve seen in quite awhile! This book is setting the bar high for my summer reads! I would give it more than 5 stars if I could! Bring on more Whitlocks!!!
