It is so cute. I love when a character gets to find love again. And the triplets are so cute. I love them.

What a sweet start to a new series! I already know these New York nannies are going to be really adorable and fun to read.
Finley (Fin) Marshall is happiness personified - he loves cupcakes and unicorns and bright colors and taking care of children. He went to school for education but found that he could make a bigger impact on children and their families by being a nanny. Fin is extremely caring and sensitive, knows how to make anything fun and goes out of his way to make sure everyone under his care is understood and cared for, even including his newest employer, Walker Cameron III.
Walker Cameron III lost his husband a few years ago and has been grieving while also raising his triplet daughters - Amelia, Beatrice and Charlotte. He’s older, a little grumpy and standoffish and has an established career on Wall Street that keeps him busy most of the day, not leaving much time for his girls even though he loves them so much. Because of his cold upbringing, he’s not really sure what to do with his daughters, how to show them he loves them or how to discipline them for bad behavior, which is why he hires nannies to do the job, even though no one has managed to do it yet…until Fin comes into their lives.
These two were really sweet together once they finally gave in to their feelings. There’s a lot of back and forth, understandably because of their professional dynamic and Walker’s grief, but they figure out a way to make it all work. Fin helps Walker get out of his head and out of his comfort zone while Walker shows Fin that he can have it all, even when things feel crazy. I really enjoyed how patient Fin was with Walker but also how he wasn’t afraid to put him in his place and call him out when he needed it. I definitely could have gone for some more scenes of them getting to know each other more outside of The Killian House, but I loved their interactions with the triplets and how easily they all just fit together. Walker’s declaration at his birthday party made me smile and made me so happy for Fin and the girls.
Really looking forward to the rest of this Nannies of New York series - there’s so many interesting characters introduced here and I can’t wait to see how they find love too.

The book is dorable and have many laugh out load moments. Somehow the book is a slow burn but not slow
at all. Walker is a fine man but he is out of his dept
when it come to his 3 daughters and Fin is his saving grace.
They have an interesting dynamic, with Fin being the dom and Walter being the sub in the relationship. They don't have extensive conversations about what it all means they just go with the flow. Since Walter is a single dad, that lost his husband and love of his life 3 years earlier, he hasn't had much time or will to explore his sex life and what he may be interested in. There is an insecurity to Walter that is endearing and true to who his is deep down and Fin in all his glory manages to bring the true Walter forward.
But I will say that this book was a little bit all over the place. It felt like it moved so slow and fast at the same time. I felt like the book could have gone a bit deeper into the development of the relationship. What I think some of my confusion stems from, is the way that the characters are written for each chapter. I feel like we jump back and forth and I some times loose myself in who's "character voice" I am reading. But this may also one from having read books lately that tell me at the beginning of each chapter who's voice I am reading right now.
This made my barin feel like it couldn't keep up and that frustrated me. So I enjoyed the book and I think it's funny but it also made me drag out the reading because I couldn't get into it well enough.

Not necessarily the book's fault. This isn't my cup of tea in the sexual side of things and it just gave me so much second hand embarrassment. The bits with the kids and everything before that was good tho!
