I absolutely loved the meet cute and the way opposites truly attracted in this book! I want more of these two!

Maggie is quirky, funny, and just trying to find herself in the big world of Manhattan. When she runs into Lucas Shaw, she is immediately intrigued by him. He runs a very strict and smooth lifestyle which means no long-term relationships, ever. After their meet cute, he knows she deserves better and lets her walk away. When an old tryst of his, shows up with his daughter, he is immediately in over his head and needs help. His best friend recommends a nanny who is great with babies and Maggie is who shows up at his doorstep.

My favorite part of this book was how strong Maggie is. Even though she’s struggling to find her place in the world, she is strong and refuses to put up with Lucas’s crap. She is determined to break down his walls and help him heal from the hurt of the past. Will she get through to him or will she end up just as hurt as he is?

I’m a sucker for books with babies and single dads. This one hit me right in the feels and I enjoyed the ride so much! I also loved all of the pop culture references in this story, specifically all the oldies songs and artists that were mixed in. They fit these two characters so perfectly.

This was my first book by this author and I don’t know where the heck I’ve been! I’m going to go back and dive into Jess and Barclay’s book as soon as I can and then check out the rest of her backlist!

P.S. I hope we can get a story for J.J. in the future. I fell in love with him, especially the way he immediately took to Esme.

Grateful to have received a complimentary ARC copy to honestly review.
