“You’re beautiful in whatever you wear, so a few extra layers won’t do you any harm, if you’re concerned about how you look.”
I, Marlow Taylor, need to stop fantasizing about the hot, single dad next door.
Should I have agreed to nanny his cute six year old who loves my dog Waffles? Absolutely not.
But her dad seems to think he can do everything himself. (spoiler: no one can)
3 reasons why I absolutely cannot fall for Dylan Stafford:
He’s grumpy and doesn’t seem to like me very much
He lives next door – literally next door to my perfect pink house
There are no secrets in a small town
I’m an optimistic artist, never living in one place for too long.
He’s a cynical billionaire, trying to raise his kid on his own like a “normal” person.
Since I’m not going to fall for Dylan Stafford, it shouldn’t matter that he shovels my driveway or looks at me like he could devour me.
One kiss later – I, Marlow Taylor, am completely screwed.
This is the second novel in the series. I was not the biggest fan of the first, so I am not surprised that I did not care too much for this one. This was okay and predictable. The story plot isn’t something I haven’t read before. The spice does start out a bit uncomfortably because there’s absolutely no evidence or warning of spice until the 50% mark in which it goes from 0 to 100 almost immediately and winds up coming across weird and sudden. It’s your standard simple romance, nothing really special about it.
I gave this novel a three star rating. The dialogue was cringe at times and the story felt dragged out. The ending got a tad bit boring and slow but I pushed through. Overall it was an average good book. I do not see myself proceeding with the rest of the series though.
