didn’t know that this book was going to be sad but it really was. It was cute.

I loved this book! It is a series but could definitely be read as a stand-alone. Dex is a single father who needs a nanny to care for his 3 children. Laine is a young woman looking to escape some trauma and who is amazing with children. There is instant attraction from both sides but some hesitancy to get involved! I highly recommend Dec and Laine’s story of recovering and moving on in life!

seriously

I seriously find it hard to believe that this was the first book author wrote. The dialogue flowed nicely. The text thread was hilarious.

I love found family as a trope. This book did not disappoint! All the characters, including Lanie and Dex, were so easy to love. My only complaint would be the epilogue. It did not feel right to call it that, as it served to be the introduction to the next book rather than the final few pages of Lanie and Dex's story.

Really liked the storyline: single dad to three kids meets the cute nanny that has some past traumas. 
Everything about it could make this book so good, however there was something about it that I didn't really like. It felt too fast, the writing felt very wattpady (if u know what i mean) and sometimes the main male character gave me the ick.
And there were 2 things about the female main character that bothered me: First she tells him she has traumas so she may not be able to be intimate with him for some time, which is super valid, however, not kidding u, the next chapter she was already wanting to have sex with him…. it felt weird, not real and kinda shitting on real trauma victims. The second thing was her supposedly, due to her past trauma, couldnt have kids… however whole and behold miracle surprise pregnancy 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 (there is not enough rolling eyes emoji to express my feelings when reading about this). Once again it felt like it was shitting on real woman who cant have children… I don't understand why author don't stick with real things, if she couldn't have babies, then she couldn't have babies! I don't understand this need to have a miracle pregnancy every time, as if in the real world its usually like that :/
