Romancing the Nanny
For Amy Logan, living with wildly attractive widower Dan Major for the past three years was a fantasy come true—even if it was only as nanny to his six-year-old daughter. But now Dan had just stunned her with a proposal every woman dreams of—and one she couldn't possibly accept.—
Dan needed a wife, and Amy seemed the ideal candidate. All he had to do was make her fall in love with him. But Amy had other ideas. And soon the workaholic single father was learning the new rules for dating and secretly yearning to give the one thing he never expected to his heart.

3 Stars ~ Amy loves her job as nanny and housekeeper but this job was only supposed to be temporary until she finished her night classes to be a chef. When Tess died six months into second her pregnancy, Dan and three-year old Emma depended on Amy. And now three years later Amy finds herself in love with both father and daughter. Dan admits he's very attracted to Amy; he admires the bond she has with his daughter and the way she makes his house a home. Not ready to admit to himself that he's fallen in love with Amy, Dan uses any excuse to make her stay when there seems to be hints that Amy is looking to move on with her life, even if that means he marries her.
From the first paragraph, Ms. Kirk creates a delicious awareness between Amy and Dan. Amy's a strong young woman who had works hard to make her own dreams come true. She wants very much to share her dreams with Dan and Emma, so when Dan begins to pursue her, she can't resist him. Dan is a misguided hero who hides his true feelings for Amy behind his guilt over the death of his wife. This is Ms. Kirk's debut with Harlequin. I enjoyed Dan and Amy's story very much and look forward to reading more stories by Ms. Kirk

This book was a little bit of a train wreck which really disappointed me. I love the nanny trope and look for it constantly. I think the nanny to wife story is adorable and I usually hunt for them at the book sales but I sort of wish I had not bought this one.
Basically Amy has been the nanny for Dan's daughter for three years-ish. She has been secretly in love with him for a long time and has fantasies. She's afraid to speak up because Dan has a tendency to kick women to the curb when they start wanting a commitment. When Dan discovers she's been seeing this attorney he freaks out. Amy is his nanny and therefore she belongs to him (I'm exaggerating).
Dan gets the brilliant idea to spend two weeks getting her to fall in love with him and then he'll propose. He'll get a wife and mother for his child and not have to fall in love. He wants sex but figures they can just be companions. Of course Amy falls for this and they get engaged. Then she gets outraged.
Here are my issues:
1. Amy is an idiot. Seriously, she is. Amy knows his history and then believes he fell in love with her suddenly. She constantly says she knows Dan loved his late wife and was still in love with her but seemingly now loves Amy. They get engaged after twelve days-ish and things 'Hey that's normal'. She also seems completely okay with giving up her dreams because of the ring. Can you say weak heroine.
2. Dan is an idiot. Once again seriously, he is. He seems to want Amy to be a built-in babysitter who sleeps with him. Sure he's a great father but he's scared to love again. He decides to 'trap' Amy into staying with him when he thinks she might actually like someone else. He expects her to do just what he wants and expects without asking what she wants. Stupid Hero.
So at the end of the book I just sort of went, "Eh."
I put it in the to-donate pile and immediately went looking for reviews of this book. There aren't many and I'm not sure whether it means no one has read it or no one liked it enough to review. Regardless I was not a fan.
2/5 Stars
