this series is SO GOOD!! Penn and Morris were so sweet to read about and i LOVES the care with which the author dealt with the themes in the book.
as i struggled with cancer myself recently, i feared this would be triggering, but the author did a wonderful job in explaining the fear, the uncertainty and the overall hopelessness you can feel in those times, which made me feel less alone I guess.
this is the first book in the series where i honestly have no notes, 5/5 stars easy 💖

More New York nannies? Of course I’m in! Penn and Morris were such opposites but had WAY more in common than they ever expected and I really enjoyed seeing it all come together.

Pennsylvania (Penn) Tucker is the Handy Nanny - he can fix anything and sees it as his purpose in life to care for and provide for the people around him. He’s a bit of a hippie, prefers to barter and trade over buying anything new, loves riding his skateboard around the neighborhood and lives in worn-in overalls and Converse sneakers. But, in his attempts to take care of everyone around him, including his father, sister, friends and clients, he doesn’t give himself time to process emotions or work through things for himself. Penn’s afraid of romantic commitment, of what it will do to his ability to be there for everyone whenever they need it, something that really comes to a head when he meets Morris and Cadence Mosby.

Morris Mosby is a music superstar, someone considered a genius by many, but he was part of a team - he and his twin sister Michelle were a team before she passed away after giving birth to her daughter, Cadence. Morris not only is grieving his sister and best friend, but also trying to figure out how to care for his niece all on his own. Music is a huge part of his life but without Michelle, he’s not sure he can do it anymore and doesn’t know where to start. Morris is quiet and reserved but knows he’s looking for love, someone to share his life with every single day. His grief is palpable and seeing him work through it, with Penn’s help thanks to Reid Marshall sending him his way to give him a hand with everything, was emotional.

While their relationship felt unexpected and unconventional since they’re opposites in so many ways, they also understood each other on a different level, both having lost someone they loved to a stroke. The way they dealt with grief and loss together was incredible to see and made their relationship so much stronger. The two of them and Cadence created a little family that neither of them wanted to disrupt, even when things got tough. They belonged together in a way that couldn’t be denied, pushing each other to be better and to face their feelings head-on whenever they came up.

I love this little Nannies of New York found family K. Sterling has created in this series and I’m so excited for what comes next - Penny Lane + Agnes ([b:The Enchanting Nanny: Nannies of New York Book 4|123618407|The Enchanting Nanny Nannies of New York Book 4|K.
