“It’s not every day that you find love because of a booby cam.”
After losing her job and being on the brink of eviction, Cassie Evans finds herself with two choices: get a new job, fast, or fire up her long-untouched OnlyFans account. But there are no jobs to be found, and as for OnlyFans. . . . Well, there are reasons she can’t go back. Just when all hope seems lost, an ad for a live-in nanny position seems the solution to all her problems. It’s almost too perfect—until she meets her would-be employer. Aiden Reid, executive chef and DILF extraordinaire is far from the stuffy single dad Cassie was imagining. She is shocked when he tells her she’s the most qualified applicant he’s met in weeks, practically begging her to take the job. With hands that make her hindbrain howl and eyes that scream sex, the idea of living under the same roof as Aiden feels dangerous, but with no other option, she decides to stay with him and his adorably tenacious daughter, Sophie. Cassie soon discovers that Aiden is not a stranger at all, but instead someone who is very familiar with her—or at least, her body. She finds herself at a loss for what to do, given that he doesn’t remember her. As their relationship heats to temperatures hotter than any kitchen Aiden has ever worked in, Cassie struggles with telling Aiden the truth, and the more terrifying possibility—losing the best chance at happiness she’s ever had.
I’m in heaven! Nope, quick correction, I must be in hell because I’m sweating… a lot! It’s extremely hot in here! Hyperventilating might be side effect of reading something extremely saucy, tempting, naughty, entertaining, and addictive! Which this book is! I needed something after a dark fantasy series sucked me dry emotionally and it turned me into a vessel of the person I once was. I knew a good spicy rom-com would stir my soul and bring me back to life.
What else is there to say? I loved this book. I devoured it. I would’ve finished it in one sitting if I didn’t have to go to work. The characters and side characters were wonderful and this book had some excellent banter that had me smiling and giggling the entire time. The sexual tension between Aiden and Cassie is like the most decadent chocolate and the payoff is definitely rewarding. It left me hot and bothered. There are some decisions by the characters that made me go “meh” but it didn’t bother me much. But thank god I did not have to suffer through the miscommunication trope that is often present in other rom-coms, I wouldn’t say there is lack of it here but the characters do open up to each other like the adults they are.
I gave this book a HUGE 5 star rating. This book is now my entire personality. It’s my wish on a shooting star. It’s my white whale. In layman’s terms, it’s the perfect combination of sexy and cute. I’m going to have a serious book hangover after this one…. If you’re looking for a swoon-worthy romance that’ll make your love butterflies flutter, this is the one!
