The Au Pair Affair by Tessa Bailey
3.0
So….
I don’t like large age gaps. But this one, since she was over 25 seemed like it would be fine.
The underlying live story was so sweet. He falls first and hard etc etc
But the sex talk had me like ick 🤦🏾♀️
And I love some dirty talk in my sex scenes but… “mean daddy?”

<strong>perfect ending to the series </strong>
This one was my favorite of the series. Always wanted Miles to get his happy ending and his Daisy -daze was perfect for him!

This is not a rom com. I always feel like i have to get that out of the way when reviewing one of Paige Toon's books
Six summers ago, Liv and Finn meet while she's working at a bar on the Cornish coastline and he was a fill-in singer for the band. Tragedy occurs and they are bound together thought it. But Finn's life is in LA and Liv's is in Cornwall. But they agree that every summer that he returns home, if they are single..they will be together. Just for the summer.
So for six summers the cycle continues, - Finn returning home, the two rekindling their relationship , and Finn inevitably breaking Liv's heart when he decides to leave again. I hated that Liv basically put her life on hold every year, hoping that one year Finn will decide to stay. She denies every guy that comes along until Tom .
This book was a rollercoaster with every single chapter. And when it went the way I thought I wanted, I couldn't help thinking in my head..but what if. I will say the many many MANY epilogues...while I can see how they were necessary and they bought the whole story full circle...
I wish it could have been done another way? But I was of course devastated but on the other hand like..how else could it have ended?
Im so sorry for the vagueness, but If i say anything it gives away the story.
My rating for this is a firm 3.75 rounded up to 4 for Goodreads.
Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC. All opinions are my own,

I have no idea how to review this book.
Wavy, our female main character is just too young for what life has dealt her. And you feel for her through everything that happens to her.
But her view of everything is colored by her trauma and her age.
The trigger warnings that go with this book should determine if you pick it up or not.
But if you decide to, I will say it was emotional, compelling, beautifully written and disturbing all at the same time.
Everyone in this book is broken. Broken people tend to do ..broken things.
NOT to excuse anything that happens in this book.
There were parts of the book where I was disgusted and disturbed and then there were parts of the book where I was like...well this is beautifully sad.
And it's hard to reconcile those parts and give a rating for this book.
It won't be and shouldn't be for everyone.
Please read the trigger warnings if you decide to give this book a chance.
in the end, I think im going to rate this a 4. Because only good writing can make you feel so many emotions in one book.
