Darren and Grace, meet when she becomes, the sitter to watch, Darren’s ten-year-old daughter, Elle. Grace is a down-and-out young woman who the FBI is investigating for believing she was a part of her boss's Ponzi scheme. Now, they have frozen all her assets, taken her home, and left her homeless, and penniless. All she seems to be doing is whining and crying, therefore her sister told her she found her a job. For which she was excited until she heard it was to be a sitter. It was beneath her, until she remembers, “Oh yeah, out of a job, or rather a career.”

Darren is a man on his pitty pot. Being that he is a mixed martial arts fighter, who tore his ACL, and is laid up and unable, to properly care for his daughter, or make a living, it is causing him, to be grouchy. Elle is protective of her dad, on the first day, opening the door, to Grace. The interrogation she gives, Grace not only angers her, but it also sets her on her way, to tears. Telling Elle, to find someone else. Causing, Darren to finally hobble out, and ask her to stay. Not that he is any more gracious than, Elle, though as Grace enters the house, she does apologize for making, Grace cry.

When Grace helps prop his leg in a way the takes away a lot of the pressure causing the throbbing pain he is in awe. As they both talk getting to know one another a spark is lit. See where and how this emotional roller coaster runs. You will enjoy it.

<The couple: Darren and Grace

Romance genre: Contemporary
Part of a series: Yes (Curvy Babysitters, Alpha Heroes)
Length: 45 pages

Plot: Darren is a fighter who has been injured. Grace is working for her sister's babysitting agency, and is sent over to his house. He's grumpy though, being injured and feeling weak and vulnerable. Grace thinks he doesn't like her, and now he has to prove to her that he wants her, and for keeps.

Character development: Darren was a total grump. He must have been out of practice with women, but also, we all know what kind of patients men are when they're hurt or sick.

I love the figurative language in this series:

her teeth are biting down on my shoulder like it’s a pork chop marinated in creamy garlic honey and topped with melted cheese.


“There, there,” she strokes my hair comfortingly. Like I’m a cat who just had a run-in with a cucumber and still hasn’t recovered.


I mean, is it a story of literary merit? No. That's kinda why I read it, and I think most people know going in that it's pure smut. The best smut.

Grammar/formatting: confused/misspelled words

Would I read more from this author/in this series: Yes
Next book in the series: Babysitter For A Firefighter

First things first; I like the cover of this book!
Babysitter for a firefighter is the first book in the ‘’curvy babysitters, alpha heroes’’ series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline entertaining. Grace’s life has crashed and burned. She went from a brilliant job and homeowner to sleeping on her sister’s couch and babysitting. Darren is a single father and a fighter with an injury. When he meets Grace, will he give love a chance?
The chemistry between Grace and Darren is clear to see and I liked them together.
I really liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an entertaining read.

A short story of OTT instalove of the two individuals in their down low. Though the title was saying things about the nanny, there's a little thing to do with actual babysitting. Yes, both met because h was assigned for a babysitting job. She was once upon a time a marketing exec, but because of unfortunate circumstances, she ended up with zero bank account and sleeping in her sister couch. Thus, the babysitting job.

The story was short, fast-paced, light read, and all-around instalove. It was light with no drama and a sweet supporting step daughter.

No virgin
No drama/angst
No cheating, No OW/OM
Safe read, HEA, Epilogue
Overall score: 3.5 short story stars

DNF @ 59%

I hit this beautiful piece of writing and decided it wasn’t worth my time to finish. “Slowly, she guides me over to the living room and pushes me down on the couch. She kneels before me and pulls my shorts down. My cock bouncing out from its enclosure like a kangaroo escaping from one of those sacks they use to capture animals they need to administer medical care to. Like a jack-in-the-box made of one hundred percent pure cock, and with an extra powerful, industrial size spring in the bottom.”

The descriptions my god. Her pussy on my dick like a python strangling a deer.? I’m sorry but if a guy said that to me I’d slap the ever living shit out of him. Not to mention they are both extremely whiny. I want to say that most if not all of the book was her bitching. I know it is only 44 pages but give your characters more of a story line: ( I just can’t believe I made it all the way to the end.

Darren and Grace

I actually really enjoy reading these short stories!!!! This was really cute!!!! Darren knew right away what he did was wrong and wanted to fix it right away and boy did he succeed!!!! And who wouldn’t want a body like that!!!! I wish it would have said if Grace ever got her life fixed from being screwed over from that company she worked for!!!! But over all it was definitely a good book!!!! Loved it!!!!

A great book

Darren injured his knee which prevented him from fighting. Grace was in marketing but her accounts were frozen, her home foreclosed and her life in shambles. Both are so far down, they're having problems coming back up.They went through a lot, this story was well worth the read. Written by Cindy :)

Enjoy it💋💋

If you're in a mood for a quick read do not look any further this is the one. I've been on a binge of Lexi books. This is something I can read in between long more detail books. Grace and Darren instantly fell for each other. These characters are great. The writing was good too. Great work again Lexi Rose!

Short but good....

It was a good read.... This fighter and babysitter read was enjoyable.... Her issues at the beginning didn't seem to get resolved or tell us what finally happen with the FBI, but his did....

This was just ok. It’s a quick instalove story.
It had a few typos that were distracting.
Overall if you like instalove with a HEA and short on time this will be perfect for you.

A lot of explosive over the top imagery during sex scenes. Fast attraction, mistrust based on such a short time

Could be better

The story was fine, but it could use some more substance. There were quite a few typos which slightly distracted from the story.
