What happens in Vegas definitely doesn't stay in Vegas if you're an international pop star who's double dog dared to marry Bon-Bon Barbie, AKA Harper Presley, and you become a viral sensation.
Harper is broke, actually worse than that! In order for her grandmother to be able to keep her home, Harper has to find $50K in the next sixty days. So she heads to Vegas to become a video teaching sensation, but due to a unfortunate turn of events, it's not for her! So she crashes a wedding party, but comes face to face with her teenage heartthrob, Landon Paige. When Landon catches the brides bouquet, the drunk wedding party, double-dog dares him and Harper to marry - and you can't back down from a double dog dare!! But when their Vegas nuptials become viral, they can't pretend they are not married, and as Landon is due to take custody of his niece and is expecting a nanny match, but is no longer eligible as he is not single, Landon and Harper agree to stay married for sixty days. But with trust and emotional issues, and hiding secrets, it may not be that easy.
Throw in a reality baking contest, four very sassy kids, a lot of hot and steamy action and best friends that would kill for you, and this is probably my favorite book of this series. It was laugh out loud, emotional, thought provoking and definitely entertaining and best of all, the truth about Madelyn Malone, the nanny matchmaker, is finally revealed.

the perfect wrap-up to the series. I loved this one, it made me laugh so much. I enjoyed seeing the softer side of Harper. And Landon was a deeper character than I thought. His musical blockage because of the past. And then the characters having neurodivergent learning was amazing. And finding what you really want in life. Also, the kids telling Aria to expect her uncle to mess up and preparing how to help when it happens since they all experienced their dads/uncles messing up. Well, it was awesome. I laughed so hard at that.

What a way to finish a perfect series than save the best for last. Don’t get me wrong all of these characters hold a special place in my heart, yet there is just something about Landon and his tough little niece that stole the show. Landon is a heartthrob pop god who was part of a band, but time and tragedy has taken its toll on him and his status. As he is trying to make his way back o the scene, he is also navigating a new role as caregiver to his niece, Aria, and being in a very unexpected marriage with Harper. Landon doesn’t see himself as this amazing man that we as readers see him, he struggles with so much that he keeps hidden. He is this loving, caring man that not only has the looks, but his heart is huge it made sad to see him struggle, but Harper is this feisty ray of sunshine to his gloom. Harper’s life isn’t what she had envisioned for herself as she struggles with not only her career but helping to provide for her grandmother as well. As she struggles with everything in her life a night in Vegas has her and Landon connecting on a different level and what happens does not stay there. Harper and Landon have this undeniable chemistry and yet they have their own insecurities that hold them back. When they are trying to navigate their new temporary future, they are all becoming close and even Aria is starting to come around. This story was hilarious, tragic, yet beautiful as they all learn to handle their own struggles both individually and separately. I will never look at a bonbon the same ever again, but I will absolutely go find me a bunch to devour after reading this. This series with all the amazing stories, characters (especially the kiddos), and bond they all have has made this easily one of my favorites to love from humor to love it has it all!!!

Harper Presley is not having a good day. Everything that could go wrong is going wrong, epically. Including running into Landon Paige, the last man in need of a nanny match. Landon’s life has been a series of highs and lows. His music was once his escape but is now endangered if he cannot provide new content. Ladon and Harper anticipate that they are the next nanny match and are trying to avoid it, but end up doing the opposite.
I love the ridiculousness of this series. As crazy as some of the situations the characters find themselves in are, you can totally envision it happening to yourself. The children are always entertaining with honesty that only kids can pull off. Aria is a bit more reserved than the others in our nanny crew, but with good reason. I also love that as silly as the situations both Landon and Harper (more so) find themselves in are, they are both dealing with past heartbreak and real life issues as well. Harper has developed ways to help neurodivergent learners learn music and her skills are priceless to both Landon and Aria. I really appreciated that this was a connecting point for the characters. Everyone learns differently and we need to find what works for us.
This was a great conclusion to the Nanny Love Match series and the end left it open to a possible spinoff(?). I fell in love with Rowen in Nanny and the Nerd and each book just added to the fun. These are the perfect books for an escape from reality with laughs but also feels. Each book could be read as a standalone but for the full experience I recommend reading them all.

Lots of silly shenanigans in this rom com…from some craziness in Vegas to an unhealthy obsession with bonbons to a wacky baking contest. Landon and Harper’s story will take you on a wild ride to a happily ever after so buckle up…I double-dog dare you!

In the case of Harper and Landon what happens in Vegas definitely didn’t stay there after they find themselves married to each other.

Landon and Harper seem like they are different on the outside, but inside the two of them are similar. Plus, neither can turn down a dare which leads to some trouble. Not to mention Landon and Harper do have chemistry, plus add in Landon’s niece, Aria, and there is a great bond.

There are plenty of laughs, enjoyable banter, and some heart mixed into this story. Plus, it is always great to get more of the previous couples and the kids.

This book is a longer one. It may just be me, but I felt at times it was too long and I would find myself losing some interest while reading, but still the overall story was enjoyable.

If you’re looking for a marriage of convenience, nanny/single dad, rockstar, rom com check this one out.
