The Nanny Bombshell by Michelle Celmer
5.0
It's such a sweet story! I think I fell in love with the book from the intro itself (coz I don't like sports - any sports, myself!) and to read the author who wrote a book with a sporting hero saying the same, made my day! And that particular kitchen scene was just laughing out loud hilarious, as were a few more. As for that reveal or should I say reveals, it came totally out of the blue, which I never could have guessed, it did certainly add a suspicious charm to the storyline!
Updated Review:
I have joined Manali Dey, a friend on Bookstagram, for the #MillsandBoonReadathon for which we are reading 18 books, coz it's '18! This is Book 12.
I had loved this one so much that I went on to get a paperback, coz this one's definitely for keeps.
And now I'm re-reading it.
The first thing is the author's introduction which completely gelled with me. Neither she, nor Sierra Evans, the heroine, and nor me, love sports, so much that "they all bore me to tears" (the author's words, not mine; haha!)
The story starts with Cooper Landon who is one of the favourite hockey players of New York. His only family, his brother Ash and sister-in-law Susan, have recently died in an accident, leaving behind their adopted twin daughters in Coop's care. With his attorney Ben Hearst, Coop is searching for the perfect nanny for caring for the twins when he comes across Sierra Evans. Sierra is a pediatric nurse who wants to give up her job in order to earn more so that she can put her sick father, who can't care for himself, in a top-notch facility.
Coop and Ash had lost their parents when he was twelve and the latter eighteen. After being looked after by Ash, he feels that he has to do the best by his late brother's daughters.
Sierra and her younger sister Joy were raised single-handedly by their father. Sierra had to give up her twins, due to various problems, for adoption. And now, out of her worry for them that their adoptive parents are dead, she decides to take the nanny's job. She doesn't trust Coop one iota. Especially not with her five-month-old twins.
It was adorable to see how Coop always guesses what is going on in Sierra's mind accurately. And their late night dates, they are something else. Coop is so sweet, the complete opposite of what Sierra believed him to be like. And the build-up to their first kiss is as hilarious as it is intense.
Coop is the one who falls in love with her, while Sierra is still guarding her secret protectively, fearing his acceptance of her reality.
Aptly titled, the double secret was a bombshell. Also, this was a book of many firsts. The hero orgasming first without shaming him. The heroine having a huge secret, that's the premise of the story. I love M&B Desire more than Modern sometimes. But, the hero is really very sweet. And understanding. And caring. He grovels, oh, how he grovels.
P.S. This is the second book I read by [a:Michelle Celmer|33879|Michelle Celmer|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/f_50x66-6a03a5c12233c941481992b82eea8d23.png] after [b:The Millionaire's Pregnant Mistress|1530865|The Millionaire's Pregnant Mistress|Michelle Celmer|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1184796290s/1530865.jpg|1522888]. While that was an okay-ish read, this one's my favourite!
