"To the Moon and Back" by N.R. Walker 

This was such a delightful and heartwarming read that just leaves you feeling happy and content.

The story follows the journey of Gideon Ellery, a single father who is struggling to balance his work life and take care of his newborn nephew. After his boyfriend leaves him, Gideon is left with no choice but to ask for help, and that's where Toby Barlow comes in.

Toby is an optimistic and cheerful man who is looking for a job and a place to stay. When he is offered a job as a nanny for Gideon's nephew, he sees it as the perfect opportunity. However, Gideon is not too keen on the idea of having a stranger in his house, but he needs the help. As Toby starts to take care of the baby and bond with Gideon, they both realize that there is more to their relationship than just a professional one.

The chemistry between Gideon and Toby is undeniable, and their relationship develops naturally. The author takes her time to build the relationship, and it never feels rushed or forced. The characters are well-developed, and their flaws and insecurities make them more relatable.
