The Naughty, The Nice and The Nanny by Devney Perry, Willa Nash
lighthearted
medium-paced
“Violet was a tutu-toting terrorist, but there was no way in hell a seven-year-old girl was going to best me.”
- The Naughty, the Nice and the Nanny
Tropes: Holiday Romance, Single Parent, Nanny, Childhood Crush, Forbidden Relationship, Boss/Employee
Spice Scale: 🌶🌶🌶
CW: Parental Abandonment
I never expected to enjoy single-parent romances, but I think I’m really starting to love the trope. Maddox’s relationship with his daughter totally made me swoon, and I loved watching Natalie get Violet to open up. The character development was well done, and Maddox’s backstory made my heart ache.
Maddox and Natalie’s relationship was really well-paced. The push and pull of their flirting and pining despite the very realistic reason they had to be apart led to a fantastic slow burn. And the fact that there wasn’t a third-act breakup made it even better. I also loved Maddox’s mild possessiveness.
I adored The Naughty, the Nice and the Nanny. It was heartfelt, funny, and the right level of steamy.
