Honestly not bad! Cassie is a struggling student who takes up a nannying job to pay bills after quitting OnlyFans and getting let go from her last job. Aiden is a chef and father to Sophie who used to be Cassies biggest supporter online. I really enjoyed the dynamic between Sophie and Cassie, Cassie and Aiden, and Aiden and Sophie. I think it was pretty well balanced and felt very natural and funny. I think my problems came with the balance of dialogue/emotional connection to sex. They had so much sex and they were horrible communicators. Like every fights/the big climax would have been an easy solve if they would just have a conversation. It pissed me off so bad that they knew they sucked at communicating and NEVER worked ok it/addressed it. Also I usually never complain about smut (who would?) but, theres like one too many smut scenes here. Feels a tad unbalanced with the lack of communication.

I really enjoyed this book in the beginning, the characters had awesome chemistry and the plot made me want to keep reading, but I felt like it was too long and the middle became a bit repetitive. While I enjoyed the ending, I felt like I had to force myself to finish it.

“I know. Am I a horrible person?”, “For which part: sleeping with your boss, or not telling him he used to watch you diddle your skittle on camera?"

5 ⭐️

Fucking LOVED this book, and happy to say I’m still in my romance era. It’s been a while since I’ve genuinely not wanted to put my book down but I was obsessed. It was hilarious, the chemistry was to die for and it was just a fun cute read! 

Wanda is a woman I want to be best friends with, what a woman.

I was expecting a lot more from this book, but it’s mainly parenting drama. The main characters are fine, but not great. The only redeeming factor is the quality of the spice. 🌶️

i genuinely had a good time with this one! i love a good single dad romance (especially if the kid(s) are cute, which she was!!!) but the addition of a live in nanny?? amazing and an OG fave of mine. i also liked the second chance aspect of this as it was a little different and more modern/contemporary which i liked. while i'm normally a hater of 3rd act breakups and the quick resolutions that surround them, i actually liked this one and found it realistic for them.
