Tallulah is looking for a new adventure. She’s trying to get out of her shell after a traumatic experience but is not looking for a relationship. Burgess is looking for someone to watch after his daughter while he’s out of town playing hockey. Their friends decide they can help each other out, so Tallulah becomes Burgess’ au pair.
It’s dual pov, age gap, he falls first, grumpy sunshine, protective MMC, and so many other great troupes.
I went into this pretty open minded. I really enjoy Tessa Bailey’s books, but they’re not all 5 stars for me. This one started uncertain. It felt almost cheesy for a chapter or two but wow I got into this quickly. This was one that made me want to kick my feet and not want to stop reading. I devoured this book.
I want to fully disclosed that I did not read the first book before reading this one. I’m definitely going to, but it’s still on hold at the library and I just couldn’t wait to read this one.
Definitely give this one a chance if you like any of Tessa Bailey’s books!
Am I the only one who thought they were going to get locked in the closet together when they were doing the rehearsal? I’m glad they didn’t because I think too many set ups by Wells and Josephine would have been overkill, but I thought that’s where that was going. We also didn’t get their actual wedding, I’m wondering if that comes up in Sig and Chloe’s story. Can’t wait for that!
Thank you to NetGalley and Avon and Harper Voyager for a chance to read and review this eARC!

I read this as a palate cleanser after a run of romantasy books and what a cleanser 😍😍😍 Tessa Bailey has really grown on me, and this was such a cute read. I enjoyed Tallulah & Burgess’ growth throughout the novel, and also resonated with parts of Tallulah’s self discovery. The complications were somewhat predictable but I didn’t care, still loved the vibes.
Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in return for my honest review!
