Jason by Donna Fasano

wilovebooks's review

4.0

Jason is desperate for someone to take care of his daughter while he works. Katie is desperate for a job. Katie finds her way to Jason's door and he hires her as his nanny. They are living in the same house and there is an attraction, but Jason is still attached to the memory of his late wife and Katie is keeping secrets. They become friends and things progress slowly. It is very sweet, except you know when someone is keeping secrets it is never easy. I liked this one and would definitely check out the other books in this series for a clean, feel-good romance read.

I am a complete sucker when it comes to reading books with a single daddy, and this doesn't disappoint. Jason is perfect in an imperfect sort of way. By that, I mean he is crazy about his little daughter, but he's overwhelmed trying to care for her, work, deal with his former in-laws who live next door, and manage his grief over his wife's death. As a result, his house is a mess, and nannies quit all the time. When Katie shows up on his doorstep having heard that he needs a nanny, she's the answer to his prayers.

Immediately, the two have chemistry. It jumps off right of the page and as the reader, you can't help but read as fast as you can to see if/when they give into the spark and ignite the fire. Of course, there are obstacles--as there are in any good romance--but I won't spoil them for you.

What I like, especially with one of the obstacles is that at first, I was outraged at the character who tried to keep Jason and Katie apart, but then, as it came to light why the character did what he/she did, you can't help but feel a little sympathy for them. I love when characters are not all good or all bad.
