One Night With The Nanny by K. Sterling
3.0
The Nannies of New York series started off so fun and entertaining, but I haven’t enjoyed them as much as the books have gone on. I’ve been really looking forward to Reid’s story from the beginning but didn’t really feel the love so much on this one.
Reid Marshall runs The Marshall Agency, a nanny agency for queer nannies and families and has very strict rules and expectations for himself, only allowing himself one night out a week to take risks. While taking those risks, he spends an amazing night with Max von Hessen and things start to change from there. Max is a real life prince but he’s basically retired and living in NYC with his daughters who both have been putting distance between them since he divorced their mother. Reid’s expertise in children and families is exactly what Max needs to bring his family back together and both he and Reid find themselves falling for each other along the way.
I thought this story was a little too insta love focused for me with both Reid and Max falling hard and fast after even their first meeting, despite Reid putting up walls between them to keep things professional. I felt like Max used his money and position to convince Reid that they’d be good together even though he really didn’t need to do any of that. And the fixes that Reid suggests to help Max and his girls reconnect felt way too easy in the end. I had such high hopes for Reid’s story after he played such a big part in setting up all of the other nannies with their HEAs, but this story made him seem strange and inflexible, which then made Max’s unwavering pursuit of him feel a little over the top.
The found family that all of the nannies have created for themselves is super sweet and something I’d definitely want to be a part of, but the last part of the story felt a bit forced to me to bring them all together to wrap things up. I was hoping for a sweet, funny, entertaining end to this series, but this was just okay in the end for me.
