Nanny romance, good concept but bogged down with forced angst in the last 25%.

2 could have been 3 stars, but…

Mercedes Ingalls thought Nicholas Moore’s kids were too young to ride bikes the size of what she saw in the driveway, but she pulled over to the curb to interview for the nanny job that would give her some nights and weekends off. When no one answered the doorbell, she approached a handsome, gorgeous-bodied man across the street to ask about Nicholas since the fancy houses didn’t have street numbers on them. She hoped the guy was actually Nicholas, but he told her he was Parker, Nick’s brother. He told her the doorbell didn’t work, and she sensed that he meant she should walk right in, especially when he left with no further directions. She walked through the unlocked door and marveled at the pristine white carpet. How did it stay that clean with children living here? She called out to Nicholas and, though he was talking on his Bluetooth, he held up a finger, ended the call, and had her follow him to his office.

Something told her Nicholas Moore’s kids needed her, and she wanted this job. But it looked like he had a stack of resumes on his desk. However, he had to go to New Orleans in a week and needed someone who could start the next morning. Mercedes and her dad may have argued over her schooling and her decision to work odd jobs that didn’t pay much, but she always knew without a doubt that her dad loved her and her parents had always made time for her. Looking at the man in front of her, committed to his job and most likely a stranger to his children, she realized he might need her around just as much as the kids did – because someone needed to teach him how to love his children. And it didn’t take her more than the first day to realize she was absolutely in love with both of those children!

When Nick arranged to move the New Orleans trip back by two weeks, Mercedes told him she thought he did the right thing. Maisy and Eli weren’t ready for him to leave yet. Nick is also aware that he is having a strong reaction to Mercedes. He is likewise envious that she looked at Parker and it looked like Parker would once again get the girl. His kids seemed to adore Mercedes and Maisy talked about her all the time. Even Eli smiled and climbed up on her lap. Mercedes was changing their lives for the better. But would she ever be interested in Nick?

This was such a wonderful story that really does touch the heart. Both Nick and Mercedes felt the extreme chemistry, yet couldn’t imagine the other could feel anything for them. The love that the family poured out was amazing. The story line moves at a leisurely pace, but take the time to read this wonderful book and just feel how it will move you. This is really a good one!

Nick wanted a nanny for his kids but the moment he met Mercedes he knew that she could be so much more. Mercedes loved the kids from the start and had a hard time keeping her distance from their dad. Nick thought she liked his brother after he caugh them kissing but even that could not hold him back from stealing kisses with her. But he want so much more than kisses, as does she. Will they be brave enough to take a chance on each other or will their insecurities get the best of them? This is a story about two people having to learn that you need to be brave even if you are scared and that nothing worthwhile is gained if you're not prepared to take a leap of faith. The chemistry and emotons between the main characters are so tangible, it draws you in and keeps you hooked until the last page. The book is full of wonderful characters and another excellent read from one of my favourite authors.

Ooh, a sweet and almost clean billionaire 2md chance romance, loved it!

What an emotional rollercoaster ride this one was.

Single custoian parent tod two Nick is looking for a nanny and Mercedes’ is the first (and last) CV he looks at. The will they won’t they kept me on the edge of my seat and the steadfastness of Cedes’ affection for the kids was endearing. I loved the HEA and the blessings Mercedes got (mot from whom y might think) loved the test-kissing (again, not with whom you might think) and loved Cedes’ loyal friends. An enjoyable romance, will keep an eye out for this author in the future.

Recommended for lovers of 2nd chance romances with spunky heroines who put kids before their own feels and for those who love grouchy business men turn more human with the right woman.

Mercedes hired by Nick to be a nanny to his kids without any education or previous experience. She falls in the love with kids immediately and can't believe that their mother just gave them up and left both Nick & them. Eli won't talk, Maisy talks for him. Mercedes plays with them, loves them, reads to them all in the name of love. Then the ex-wife shows back up in the picture and everything goes sideways. Wanting the family to reunite, Mercedes takes a step back even though that is not what Nick wants.

This is an awesome book that I enjoyed reading. The characters and story were well written and developed pulling me in and keeping my interest. I loved story and characters and watching their relationship grow. There's plenty of action, drama, suspense, twists, turns, passion, chemistry, hot alpha male and a hot and steamy romance. It's a sweet heart pulling story you don't want to miss and I can't wait to read more from this author!!!

A really enjoyable book one in the H Books series! It is beautifully written, well-developed, consistent, and heartwarming! The story line is amazing, drama-filled, funny, witty, and steamy with ups and downs, twists, suspense, and passion. The characters you will love and root for; the chemistry between them is off the charts! Definitely recommended!

Really loved this cute story when single dad Nick who needed a nanny and he hires Mercedes. They have that instant attraction but we’re afraid to act on it until they couldn’t hold back any longer. The story is sweet and characters great but the kids (Maisey and Eli) were just too precious.

A newly divorced man is desperate to hire a nanny. Mercedes is unique, amazing and perfect for the kids - and for Nick, if they will give each other a real chance.

Some things about love are as complicated as we make them- and some as simple.

Steamy and sweet read.

Um, not the nanny.

Yep. It’s the nanny.
Nick Moore has kids, Eli and Maisy and is in need of a nanny.

Mercedes is good at many things.
Falling for the hot dad is one of them.

How did this get so many great reviews?!

There was no chemistry between the main characters. The writing and dialogue was disjointed through out the book. The Fmc was so unlikable. I don't get it.

If you get erections this frequently, you may wish to talk to your doctor.

If you get chest pains this frequently, you really must talk to your doctor.

If you intend to self-publish a novel, you should get more critical—or at least more honest—friends.
