I enjoyed reading Daddy Issues by Liv Morris. This story about a billionaire, his surprise baby and the nanny who is crazy enough to take it all on it a good one. Loved the "meet cute" with Lucas and Maggie. Serendipity is the best and it was included well here. I also really liked Maggie's character and how she dealt with all that was thrown her way.

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.

This was another pleasant surprise for me.
I had heard about this book on Instagram and thought “why not?” I kind of went in expecting one thing but got another thing instead.
I absolutely loved the dynamic of Maggie and Lucas and Maggie as a character was so loveable and fun, she just had this great energy that really popped off the page.
The whole storyline involving Lucas becoming a father was interesting to read since I haven’t really read a lot of books focused on single parents but this was a lovely story to start out with.
I do feel like the last bit of the book was rushed and I really wish there could have been a wedding for Maggie and Lucas(potentially with more little ones) but overall this was a really nice read and so heartwarming and funny to read

Single dad books aren't my usual cup of tea, but I must say the twist Liv Morris did with this story made me love it. Lucas a billionaire used to control everything finds himself meeting Maggie at a coffee shop, and the chemistry makes sparks fly, but two weeks later his life takes a turn and is turned upside down and now he is a dad. He looks and finds a nanny to help with his new situation and life has a weird way to turn things and Maggie shows up for the job. The story has more depth all the emotional issues they both face, how their journey for a HEA is not easy but one worth fighting for.

Hey Maggie! I remember you, Magnolia best friend of Tessa. I loved her and her pinkness.
Maggie, she’s quirky, she’s funny, she’s gorgeous, she just needs a job. What better way to get over a crappy job interview than spend a few pounds on a mochachocalatte with whipped cream, marshmallows and a dusting of cinnamon on top? And if you happen to meet a hunk of a man in the coffee queue - you are winning at life.
I adored the early interactions of Lucas and Maggie aka Peaches and Herb. I could sense the possibility. It simmered. It smouldered. I could tell there was some fire to come.
There’s sub plots of mummy/daddy issues and the surprise baby (not a spoiler, it’s in the blurb).
I would have really liked more daddy baby bonding. If the book theme is a single dad, I want single dad who is smitten. Give me more baby daddy stuff that I can ooooohhhhh and aaaahhhh to. I love babies. And daddies.

Daddy Issues is a charming second chance, single dad romance! With minimal angst and plenty of romance, this story is a great tale of self discovery and learning to love again.

I have to say, this story was very much worth the wait. I love the concept and the way things played out in this story. The magnetic pull between Maggie and Lucas is sizzling. From their first meeting where it was a passionate encounter of wits to the surprise of her showing up when she was the one recommended to be a nanny to his shock of a bundle of joy. There are a lot of ups and downs between these two which to me, made the story more engaging. Lucas fighting feelings to Maggie fall when she knew she shouldn’t.
Overall, I adored this story and honestly devoured it in one sitting. I enjoyed the flow and watching Lucas open up to why he was the way he was. How Maggie brought out the emotions in him. It was a fun read and I highly recommend it!
