The Setup and The Substitute by Jiffy Kate

4.0

Holy hot nanny banging, Batman.

THE SETUP AND THE SUBSTITUTE does such a good job of ramping up the sizzling chemistry between the leads that you'll snap your kindle in half with your bare hands by the time these two finally seal the deal. And when they do...prepare thyself...it's H-O-T.

Sophie is an wonderful female lead! Smart, caring, fun, but also in a little over her head. Love that! And Owen is the cinnamon roll hero you need in your life! His relationship with his kids will melt your ovaries.

I took a star off my rating because there are quite a few storylines in this book that never really flesh out. Based on the writing you keep thinking, "Oh, this character is going to freak out!" or "There's totally a confrontation coming with this sketchy character" and then those plot points just fizzle and never materialize. It made the last 1/4 of the book feel rushed or incomplete somehow.

If you love a good Single Dad + Nanny romance with a slow burn that leads to some serious steam, you'll want to add THE SETUP AND THE SUBSTITUTE to your TBR! You will love it!!

RATING:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
STEAM LEVEL: Rated R
TRIGGERS: drug abuse/addiction (secondary character), parent abandonment
FEELS-O-METER: 2/5 - A bit of drama, but still a light read.

I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
