Holiday Hire is a great book is your looking for a lighthearted, sweet romance between two people who desperately need love in their lives. Alexander owns and runs a ranch with his family in Texas, he is a widowed father of two boys. He relies on family especially his parents to help him with his sons while he works, but this year during the holidays his parents are going to be away working on a mission so they hired Phoebe to be his children’s nanny. Phoebe is from California and she took the job not only because she needed the money but her and her boyfriend Lance need a break from each other. Now Alexander doesn’t really think he needs a nanny, he thinks he can take care of his kids all alone. So Phoebe has a hard time dealing with his grumpy behavior until he decides to give in. These two have had a lot of trauma in their lives and when they open up their hearts and mind to the idea of falling in love with the other it’s truly glorious. This book was a such a feel good holiday love story. This story has some really funny moments and I loved the boys Wilder and Ace they added to this story because in their own way they were looking not for love because they had  an a great deal of family love but not a mother’s love since they lost their mom at a very young age. Wonderful romantic, steamy love story.
