When Asher finds himself in desperate need of a nanny for his dead daughter the last person he wants to hire is his bosses 24 year old daughter. Phoebe is intelligent, witty and trained in ASL, basically the perfect person for the job. The tension between the two grows and lines get crossed as the couple journey towards their HEA. There’s definitely a couple of twists and turns that will have you unable to tear your eyes from the page!

What a man Asher is! I love, love, loved him! His first priority was always his daughter but once his feeling began to develop for Phoebe he became incredibly protective of her too. I don’t want to spoil anything but the way he reacted to a certain situation had me tearing up!

I loved Phoebe. She’s an incredible FMC who deals with everything with so much maturity. She’s running from a mortifying situation and doing her best not to let it define her. I loved her interactions with Olivia, the warmth and protectiveness that she showed really spoke to her character.

The romance and spice in this book was top tier. I just adored every second of this story!

ajrookstool's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 33%

I really don’t like when Authors go into other worlds that are not their own. I also don’t like when they whine about everything little thing. I felt like the characters were doing exactly that. Also, I did not see where this book could go. 

An age gap, single dad romance. Heck yes! I’m here for Asher and Phoebe! I adore the relationship Phoebe built with Olivia. They have the sweetest friendship and I was LIVING for the way Phoebe stood up for her 👏🏻👏🏻  And can we talk about Asher’s dirty mouth? The way he protected Phoebe? This man had me swooning 🔥 I enjoyed this one, and I can’t wait for more!

The pregnancy with the professor gave me the biggest ick.

If i had read the book instead of listening to the audiobook, this would have been 3 star for me but Zach’s voice is delicious as always so it made the story better.

I do love the single dad trope and the nanny trope.
