This single dad-nanny, age gap romance was very sweet. The way this big, scary hockey player became such a sweetheart and made sure she always felt safe and protected is just so sweet. I also love how he was trying so hard to be a good dad even when he had no idea what he was doing.

Meh. If you want lighthearted erotica… it was mostly just that. The FMC’s trauma kinda felt over the top. An intense story (see trigger warnings) that felt unnecessary and dropped into the story very suddenly. If it had been revealed gradually and if more context had been provided, maybe? But mostly I was confused why I was getting so much detail about people who weren’t in the story at all. And it was so intense… for two paragraphs.. and then just back to sex.

when i read the first book in the series, fangirl down, i was absolutely champing at the bit for this book. a cute and spicy fmc and a hot grumpy single dad hockey player? say less.

our girl is in need of a job during her last year of grad school and our grumpy gus is in need of a live in nanny for his daughter. watching tallulah blossom into an adventurer while dragging daddy savage along was such an enjoyable trip.

and then there was this lil snippet: "she'd walked right into that sticky web of knowledge..." i'm sorry but i stopped reading and rocking in my chair and stared at the sky thinking about this for minutes. i sent it to everyone i know. i'm different now.

we've got forced proximity, single dad, age gap, and hockey. i am always all in for basically all of these. 

per my spreadsheet:
spice 🌶  - a 4 🌶  spicy (romance.io scale)
length - just right
reading speed - read in 3 days
did it make me cry? - yup

frantically's review against another edition

This started out really strong but around halfway I started losing interest and reading through the reviews here didn't convince me to plough through the third-act-breakup
