I could not fantom how his mouth is always hanging open during sex. Did he had a stroke or something? :))))

Oh, wait, her mouth also hangs open during sex.... Aren't any other words besides these to describe sexual bliss? It should have been called "Hanging" not "Mr. Masters".

He's a dick, she's a little bit funny, overall I did not liked it.

lmao the jerking off scene was as cringey as it gets

Very slow burn

So good!

This book was so good! It was a little bit predictable, but not enough to make me stop reading. I was completely hooked in the whole time!

I am so glad I finally read this book! Brielle takes a job abroad working as a nanny for a much older man. The thing is, she doesn’t really know much about kids. I actually liked that about her, she wasn’t this perfect nanny who had the magic cure to make the kids better. Julian is a widowed single father who is very grumpy and closed off. He has spent his last few years in meaningless sex relationships with “friends” and prostitutes. Brielle and Julian almost immediately end up on each other's bad side. But there is still an attraction there that they have to deny.

When they can no longer deny it any longer, they start up a secret romance. They meet at a hotel, there is secret correspondence and very spicy scenes. Their plan is to keep things casual. They spend a lot of time together, and get to know each other. Brielle gets closer with his kids, and bonds with them more than he does at times. She stands up for his kids and sometimes that interferes with their relationship. I love that Brielle puts the kids about her relationship with Julian. Their relationship was far from perfect, Julian was far from perfect, and they had some pretty significant difference that could end their relationship. They somehow managed to work through everything and get their HEA.

I listened to this on audible and I was wishing this book was even longer than its 14 hours because I just wanted to keep on listening to Shane East talk. It was a long book but it read quicker and was very easy to listen to. Sofia Lette and Shane East had a perfect performance.
