It took awhile but eventually Amelia and Broady were able to thaw the ice around their hearts to find their HEA. ~ Paige Turner – Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews
Synopsis:
Don’t touch the nanny. It’s one rule I’m most certainly going to break.
Since becoming a single father, I have two things that keep me sane—my daughter Lily and playing football for the NFL. But when my meddling sister hires a nanny without my knowledge, I’m not thrilled to come home and find the woman has taken over my house. Our instant attraction is one more complication I don’t need in my life.
But my daughter loves Amelia, and I will do anything for that tiny munchkin. Even if it means walking around with blue balls most of the time. Why does the nanny have to be so sweet—and drop dead gorgeous? She’s driving me crazy. Never in my life have I wanted a woman more.
I just need to make it through this season. I can do that. Hands free, of course. But then there’s that moment, and I know she’s thinking what I’m thinking and, well, yeah. Screw the rules…
I’m torn with this book. I love the premise of this book, a single dad raising his daughter and who, over time falls for the nanny, Amelia. For the most part the author gives the reader a enjoyable heartfelt book capturing the love Broady had for his daughter, Lily. We’re also given a sweet story between Amelia and Lily.
The initial chemistry between Amelia and Broady was off evident from their first meeting. Although there was an initial chemistry, which lasted throughout the book, both were hesitate to open their hearts to each other. They danced around their emotions for awhile and eventually Broady fell hard for Amelia.
My biggest problem with the book is Amelia. There were a few times I had a hard time liking her. While she was the perfect nanny for Lily, I thought she toyed with Broady’s emotions. She knew how vulnerable Brody was and chose to lie to him. I didn’t like this storyline.
From then on I was indifferent about the book. I wish these two could have worked in their relationship sooner. I did love the ending. It was cute and everything I look for in a romance novel.
