Aslında konu fena değildi ama yazar çok garip yazmış. Bir ona, bir buna atlamış... Neler olduğu konusunda insanın kafası karışıyor. Sonlara doğru da kurgu bana biraz saçma geldi.

"The Italian Tycoon and the Nanny" is the story of Julie and Massimo.

A pretty enjoyable romance with loads of feel good energy. The heroine is shattered when her beloved brother and wife pass away tragically, months after they welcomed their first child. She loves her nephew, and even breaks up with her fiance for him. That is until their will gives away the rights for the child to his playboy brother, and the heroine gets desperate. She offers to be his "nanny" to take care of the baby, and looking at the bond between them, the hero accepts.
Really enjoyed the budding relationship between the two. Both loved the baby and you can see mutual respect as well as the attraction blooming. The hero respected the heroine and her attachment to their nephew, and after some avoidable drama, the book ends in a HEA.

No epilogue or sexy scenes but enjoyed it.

This was just plain dull. You read the title and synopsis and think things are going to get interesting but it is all flat. Even with the exotic locations the characters are repetitive and lack any connection or chemistry. There is an intruding family on both sides but neither are fun or interesting to read about. Don't read it.

The storyline itself was 2 stars but I love fast-paced, mass produced romance novels so my bias earns it an extra star.

4 Stars! ~ Made guardian of his infant nephew, Massimo is forced to return to his autocratic family in Milan bringing the child and his beautiful sister-in-law. Julie's only way to stay a part of Nicky's life is move to Italy as his nanny, only she hadn't bargained on yearning for the threesome to be a real family. Ms. Winters' charming lovestory brings us two wonderful characters and the enchanting setting of Lake Como. I was involved in their story right from the first page and am looking forward to reading Massimo's cousin Cesar's story next.

real sweet deal! massimo and julie got together to raise their nephew after his parents died in a car accident. they were attracted at first sight but fell in love gradually. i think the love evolved from watching how much the other cared about niccolo! they both were willing to sacrifice their life, their happiness for him. really sweet! i hesitated about the rating as i felt the book deserved more than a 3 star but the book lacked angst, lacked passion and der was no sex scene.

I really liked this book. It was short but very interesting. I loved how both the couple took care of their nephew and how they loved him so much. I liked books that bring two people closer through a child. This kind of concept makes reading fun. Overall, it was a short read for me but def. worth it.
