It was pretty good, I've never read one where the olderan is the sub but surprisingly it made sense for their characters and I liked it 👍 overall it was a little meh and boring and I was honestly skimming the last couple chapters

For the most part I really enjoyed it. Especially the lack of miscommunication. Their relationship was sweet and felt realistic without contrived obstacles for the drama. I enjoyed the dynamic between Walker and Fin a lot.

However the way they resolved Fins job situation in the end when he and Walker went official really pissed me off. 

fucking trophy husbands, Fin should not be a trophy husband

I thought Fin and Walker slowly falling in love was adorable. They both had cliched expectations of each other and grew to care about each other. Also, I never knew praising someone could be so sexy!

Fun, modern day story about a man who needs help with his terrible triplets and the nanny best suited (or cardiganed) to take on the job.

That’s not to mean that I didn’t actually yell while reading this one. The dad is afraid of his own kids and wants to make sure they don’t turn out awful but does absolutely nothing to make sure they don’t turn out awful. My actual (shouted) words were, “So DO SOMETHING!” Good job, author, I guess, if you were trying to get across how frustrating the situation was for the nanny walking in – risking actual life and limb – to care for a few brats.

Okay, yes, there’s more to it than that. The guy had horrible examples growing up and, after the loss of his husband, wasn’t capable of finding his feet. Grief does weird things to us. But he’s willing to learn and the new nanny has some interesting reinforcement strategies to encourage him.

The first in a series. Definitely some not-safe-for-triplets content, but readable and enjoyable (even with the shouting).
