The Au Pair was a fun read. Though I didn’t enjoy it as much as It Happened One Summer, I was pleased by the single dad trope (which I do not see often in romance novels) with the slight age gap. I think that’s what drew me in. There is A LOT of smexy scenes and internal monologues in the book. If you read Tessa Bailey then you know what you are in for. For me, I felt like there was an excessive amount of those scenes but maybe I’m not the target audience. One of my friends would totally eat this up. Besides the spice I really liked the story. There were some serious undertones including PTSD, abduction and chronic pain that really built up the book for me. Alongside the serious issues there was humor thrown in which I always appreciate!!
Thank you NetGalley for providing an early eARC in exchange for an honest review!!

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!
