Noah Hayes , the big bachelor billionaire, was hard to like at first because he is a women’s man and sleeps not only with one but two women and it seems like it’s frequent 🙄.
I guess he was hurt by what the ex did but still… two women? 😅 it’s a bit much if you ask me but then a kid enters the picture and I must say that Chris, the kid, was what made me like Noah.
Noah makes a clause with the new nanny and that clause was that she couldn’t touch him or make inappropriate advances. Like how much full of herself are you? It was a bit of a turn off for me but I like the nanny’s, Madison, reaction to the whole situation.
Suffice to say, the joke was on him because he was the one that couldn’t contain himself.
I like seeing him slowly falling in him for her through her relationship with her son.

Madison has a complicated family and she is basically the one sustaining her brother and sick mother.
I really like Madison. She is kind and I love the way she is with Chris. Her relationship with him was definitely the highlight for me in this story.

Chris is adorable! He is much like his father but he just wants a mother and once he warms up to Madison, it’s game over. I love him so much!

Now the conflict for the next part is obvious from the very beginning and I’m honestly fine with it but I don’t really like the fact that this is a duet because it’s not necessarily. This could’ve easily been one book.
I don’t really like Noah thinking regarding the media thing but I get why. I really hope he doesn’t shut down and push Madison away and cause heartache for everyone just because his company is more important than the people he thinks as family but we’ll see.

The third act was also very predictable but I liked how it played out. I was honestly surprised that the guy 🤐reacted the way he did but I like where the situation ended. 

All in all I enjoyed myself a lot and I read it in one sitting however my feelings towards it were mixed. I look forward to part two because I want Chris to have a family and Madison to get her hea. Regarding my feelings towards Noah, his reactions in part 2 will ultimately determine how I feel about him.
Again this should’ve been one book but I wanna know what happens next.
