This books writing style is very wattpad-ey and to be fair cringe

Good Start of the Series!

This was a good start to the series. I am ready for the next book! A good romance book for sure.

Wow this story was beautifully told from beginning to the end. There were multiple pieces to this story being told and it flowed flawlessly. My only criticism would be that it moved a bit slower than it needed to.

Dexter is a single father to a son and twin girls after his wife decided to leave him the day his father passed away. Now Dexter is on his own with 3 kids and he is having a rough time, especially getting his son to communicate. Lanie has been barely living since she was brutally attacked so she decides to make a change for awhile and goes for a nanny position. From the moment she walked into Dexter’s house to interview, she took charge of the kids and of Dexter. Dexter could not even believe this woman coming into his house bossing him around. Quickly Lanie’s presence was clear to be paramount to the family. She took care of the kids but also helped Dexter’s son open up and start talking again. Dexter soon realized that he couldn’t live without Lanie and he made his mission to win her over. Then started the hilarious text chain and the swoon worthy behavior. It was impossible not to love Dexter with how sweet he was and how devoted he was to making Lanie feel like this was her family forever.

Great slow burn

I am a sucker for anything involving children. The heroine is an amazing protector. This isn't your normal romance novel. The depth of the characters was surprising.
I've read the whole series now. Love the characters and how the author moves them forward in life.

So, this was a midnight read for me. It was so obvious how much Dexter loved her and omg julie and Trevor; I called it. I just didn't expect that . I love how much in such a short time she became so important to their family, it was so adorable.

I love this book sm. Tate was by far the best character
