About the author

Leanne Banks was born on 14 May 1959 in Roanoke, Virginia, USA. She holds a Bachelors degree in Psychology, which she claims she can only use on fictional characters. When her first book was published in 1991, she used the money from her advance to take her family to Disney World.

Leanne is known for telling a story with strong emotion, characters with whom everyone can relate, a kick of hot sensuality, and a feel-good ending that lingers. She believes in creating stories for her readers that will allow them to escape into a place filled fun, emotion and sensuality. She believes that she has the best readers in the world because they understand that love is the greatest miracle of all.

Leanne is the recipient of Romantic Times Magazine's career-achievement awards in Series Sensuality and Love and Laughter, and her books have been recognized by the Award of Excellence Contest, the Romance Writers of America RITA Award contest and the National Readers' Choice Awards. She is grateful for awards and reviews and was particularly moved by a letter from a reader remarking that Leanne's book got her through a chemotherapy session. The reader's letter inspired a favorite turn of phrase: Never underestimate the power of a romance novel.

Leanne lives in her native Virginia with her husband, two teenage children and a Pomeranian. She also has a little condo in South Carolina where she writes in the off-season. She loves music, chocolate, quotes, and new adventures.

Ahhh this was a sweet cute romance! The nice, plain nanny falls for her handsome businessman employer as she cares for his 1 year old daughter. She was really likable and I enjoyed watching her thaw the heart of her cynical hero, who was a really good brother and son but needed to learn to trust a woman again after a bad relationship. Very sweet, enjoyable read!

Sweet story with a kind caring hero and a feisty cute heroine! Adorable, wish it had an epilogue with babies!

Good book

My only complaint is that the author didn't drag his attraction for her out a little longer. Would have made the realization more...real when writing about an actual plain jane. This book didn't quite make it seem like she was really, really a plain jane, and not just a woman doubting her looks but someone who really is plain.

Hodnocení 2,5 hvězdičky.
Hele nebylo to vyloženě špatný. Dobře se to četlo, ale ten děj už být jednoduší nemohl. Navíc ta klišé...

A sweet easy going nanny romance, I really enjoyed this quick read.
