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.

Cassie is desperate need of a job when she finds a listing for a nanny. She has no qualifications to be a nanny, but she applies anyway. She is shocked to get the job. She immediately starts falling for Aiden and his daughter Sophia.

Cassie quickly realizes that Aiden was her bigges OF subscriber A. She keeps it to herself even as the sparks fly and their relationship becomes more then employee, employer.

The book was ok. I feel like it was too long for what it was. There was definitely an insta-love aspect to it as well which isn't my favorite. There were definitely funny aspects of the book. The OF aspect was interesting.

I’m kicking myself for putting off reading this book. It kept coming up in my library and I kept delaying it, afraid it wouldn’t live up to my expectations. Oh how wrong I was. I greatly enjoyed this story and cannot believe it was this author’s debut publication. I’m looking forward to seeing what else she can do.

I love the way Cassie’s sex work is portrayed. She goes from being unsure of what it means to start an Only Fans account to being comfortable with her decisions and her sexuality. It’s not that she goes around flaunting it, but it was something she did to make much-needed money and she’s not ashamed of that.

Everything between Cassie and Aiden worked for me. From the way they meet to how enamored they are with each other. From the way Aiden is trying so hard to do the “right thing” and the way Cassie discovers their past connection. The only thing that I didn’t like was how long the secret was kept once Cassie realized who Aiden was. At first, I understood her hesitation. Cassie needed the job Aiden gave her, needed the place to live, loved Aiden’s daughter, and was hurt because she didn’t understand what went wrong between them before they really knew each other. But it did get to be too much for me.

The way Aiden’s daughter is incorporated into the story worked extremely well. Oftentimes, authors don’t seem to know what to do with kids in a romance. Sophie is an integral part of this story in many ways and the author made her a fully fleshed-out character instead of a plot device. I believed the relationship Cassie and Sophie had and the affection that grew between them.

There was a time or two in the middle of the book when I felt the flow was a bit off, but overall it was smooth sailing. The chemistry was phenomenally written between all of the characters and had me fully invested in their stories.
