For Kate Spencer, serving as caregiver to Aaron Carver's baby was more than a job opportunity - it was a chance to find a family once again. Yes, Kate had been unlucky in that regard before, but one look at the handsome bachelor dad made her think that she could be more than just a mother figure in the Carver household...
For Aaron Carver, finding Kate was the answer to his prayers. She was the replacement mother he'd dreamed of for baby Jamie. Yet, as he began to welcome her into his life - and his home - he wondered if her skill as a nanny was all he wanted from her...
I didn't think I'd like this book...it was one I picked up at a booksale because it was super cheap and part of a series I'd read a book from. I end up with a lot of books I'm not sure I'll like doing that, but I can't resist bargain-basement books.
The book was actually rather good, though. The storyline is simple, but it's sweet and innocent and one of those heart-warming/make-you-sigh books. The romance is low-intensity and the plot rather low-key. I think calling it a "sweet" book sums it all up pretty well.
My only disappointment was the end. The book is part of a 3-book series about 3 siblings who were separated as children when their father died and their mother taken seriously ill. There's a running theme of the mother searching for her children for years and years and then finally finding them. And at the end of this book, the 3rd in the series, there is a family reunion. But it was like 2 pages long told from the mother's POV. There was no happy reunion scene, just the mother looking at her kids all back together again and thinking how lucky she was and whatnot. I kinda felt ripped off. I wanted more details and a happy, crying scene where they all see each other again for the first time. But considering this is a category romance where there is a word-count limit, I'm guessing the author ran out of space.
So except for the ending, a pretty enjoyable romance.
