lighthearted medium-paced

When Phoebe comes home early from school she planned to wallow over how her life turned upside down.  Her dad however has other plans. 

Asher needs a nanny who knows ASL. His bosses daughter is his ony choice. But Asher isn't convinced because Phoebe was an irresponsible teenager. There's no way she can do it. The last time she baby-sat his daughter when she was three, it didn't go so well. 

Well you know how it goes... single dad, cute single nanny, lots of attraction and many reasons to say no....

So good. I absolutely loved this book.  Asher is just a giant marshmallow and Phoebe finally has ribs too right after so many things going wrong.

This was my first read by Corinne Michaels and is certainly not my last! I instantly fell in love with her writing style and enjoyed everything about this book!

I loved the chemistry between Asher and Phoebe. The tension along with the push and pull of wanting each other made it even more delicious when they decided to let it happen

the plot twist was so unnecessary for their story and honestly made me mad. wouldn't consider that a HEA for them but the rest was fine

Forbidden Hearts has all of the feels of a small town romance without being cliche. I love the romance, the age gap is not conflict, and how the hero reacted to the heroine’s surprise pregnancy. There is no third act break up. Plus, his daughter has an active role in the plot. I loved it!

I was looking for a nanny/boss trope & stumbled upon this on booktok! Not bad but also not my favorite. The banter between the fmc & mmc was funny. I was enjoying it up until
she found out she was pregnant with another a**hole (not intentional)
. It sort of threw me off along with the plot twist 🥲 other then that it was a fun read & the ending was cute.

First 50% of the book was decent, the last 50% was terrible. Wouldn’t recommend
