I really enjoyed their dynamic together, but that third act breakup was the lamest I've ever read.

Diego has had a rough life but has come out the other end sober and a single father and likes the control in his life which means no girlfriend and no distractions, June however is a big unexpected distraction. The push/pull between these two is infuriating at times especially with how June is willing to give so much yet Diego blows hot and cold, fortunately for June Diego's family is so welcoming and allow her to see what a real family is like, not that her sister isn't totally supporting but a whole family as June's Dad is a douche canoe and her mother follows her fathers lead. There is lots for both June and Diego to unpack about their lives not just the past, but the here and now if they have any chance of a future and boy are you left wondering up to the end on whether pride and stubbornness will win over love!

June is nannying Diego Garza’s four year old son, Camilo. This job fell from heaven for June, because she had just left her father’s practice and had no other job offers. But there’s a problem with the job: she’s been crushing on Diego for years, and living in his house, being so near to him, is proving to be very difficult. Unknown to her, Diego didn’t remember June from years past but he’s certainly noticing her now! The attraction is strong and near irresistible, especially after that incident where she caught him being naughty in the shower.

This book was irresistible in several levels. June is an adorable character. Sweet and unassuming, she has an inner strength that is belied by her impulse to always apologize. Diego recognized from the start that she has a submissive attitude and the fantasies were running wild in his head.

Also, June is a fantastic nanny because she gets little kids. She has an uncanny ability to communicate with them and they all become fascinated with her. There were several scenes where kids shun their parents in order to be with June. And Camilo is a sweetheart, hyper dynamic, a chatterbox, and utterly needy of a mother.

Diego swore near and far that he was done with women, that his life was now only his son and his work, famous last words when he met June. For June, being with Diego was partly a dream come true, and part nightmare because he’s her employer and she won’t cross that line.

I loved June’s sweetness and Diego’s intensity, Camilo’s adorableness and the secondary characters who added so much to the story. The book was full of characters from Unrequited and The Seasons Change rock bands, a ton of kids, plus Diego’s parents. The sexy times were super steamy, once Diego caught on June’s naughty desires. I loved the hugs! Diego gives yummy hugs!

"This isn't good, you know. We're never going to get over each other if we keep getting pulled back together."
"I'm never going to get over you, no matter what."


Stop glowering at me like that, book cover dude.
I'm not raising my ratings because of it.

I laughed. I cried. I felt all the emotions. I’ve loved this series since the beginning and having June and Diego’s story be the end was amazing. It was a beautiful story and I’m already in need of a reread.

yeesh. there’s third act breakups and then there’s whatever this was. It was like there was 2 paths Wolf could’ve chosen and she chose the wrong one. Oh well. Still gets 3 stars for the first 75% of the book.
