The Last Nanny in Manhattan by K. Sterling
3.0
The Last Nanny in Manhattan was a delightful confection of a rom-com.
The set-up is like a mash-up of Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music (but make it gay): Finley Marshall is a recently unemployed nanny, and he’s the last resort of Walker Cameron III, a titan of finance who is no match for his 6-year-old triplet girls. Walker lost his husband three years prior, and his grief has made him even more closed off than he was before. Luckily, Fin is an expert with children, and despite the girls’ attempts to run him off, he quickly wins them — and their grumpy father — over. As Walker talks with and actually listens to Fin and his advice, the two grow closer, and Fin notices how well Walker responds to praise … and certain other things.
What follows is a sweet and cute romance, with just the right amount of steam and a little light kink. I loved how much Walker wanted to change and be there for the girls, and how Fin made sure that there were boundaries in place as Walker felt his way back toward a romantic relationship. This is the first book in the Nannies of New York series, and I can’t wait to see where this author goes next!
