Okay, bear with me here... This was hot, and cute, and I enjoyed it! I really appreciated that the third act didn't start with some BS "they fought and broke up oh no how will it end!" plot point like every other romance does. Both Sloan and Rafe were relatable, and Weatherspoon really dipped into the fact that a lot of adults are just kind of winging it, and we can be corny and cheesy and silly too. Was some of the dialogue cringey? Yea, for sure! Did it sound exactly like a lot of conversations I've had with my girl best friends? Completely. 

My biggest gripe with the book was actually less with Weatherspoon and more with her editor. There were quite a few typos and grammatical errors, sometimes to a distracting degree, which was really unfortunate.

All I'll say is that this book is exactly what it says on the tin: it's a book about a single mom hiring a buff male nanny. If you're expecting anything other than that, you're setting yourself up for failure, so just have fun with it! Will def be reading more Weatherspoon in the future.
