Really liked the storyline: single dad to three kids meets the cute nanny that has some past traumas.
Everything about it could make this book so good, however there was something about it that I didn't really like. It felt too fast, the writing felt very wattpady (if u know what i mean) and sometimes the main male character gave me the ick.
And there were 2 things about the female main character that bothered me: First she tells him she has traumas so she may not be able to be intimate with him for some time, which is super valid, however, not kidding u, the next chapter she was already wanting to have sex with himβ¦. it felt weird, not real and kinda shitting on real trauma victims. The second thing was her supposedly, due to her past trauma, couldnt have kidsβ¦ however whole and behold miracle surprise pregnancy ππππππππ (there is not enough rolling eyes emoji to express my feelings when reading about this). Once again it felt like it was shitting on real woman who cant have childrenβ¦ I don't understand why author don't stick with real things, if she couldn't have babies, then she couldn't have babies! I don't understand this need to have a miracle pregnancy every time, as if in the real world its usually like that :/
