Those Three Words

Chicago Billionaires

by Alexis Winter

I never thought getting fired from my dream job would change my life.
And I certainly never imagined three little words would be my undoing.
Trust me—they’re not the words you’re thinking.
Those three delicious, toe-curling words whispered by my boss were where it all changed.

When budget cuts at my local school leave me scrambling to find a job before I get evicted, I stumble upon the listing of a lifetime.
How hard can being a live-in nanny for a little five year old girl be?
Especially when it’s double the salary and comes with a sexy, single dad.

But the moment I step inside Graham Hayes multi-million dollar estate and meet the grumpy billionaire—I know I’m in way over my head.

It’s not just that he’s quite possibly the most attractive man I’ve ever seen, it’s the way he stares at me like it takes everything he has to keep from devouring me.

The way he curls his hands into fists to avoid touching me.
The way he reprimands me through gritted teeth while his lust filled eyes burn through me.
The naughty things he whispers against my lips as his hands explore me.

Way over my head.

Caring for his daughter is a dream—even his mother loves me.
Soon, I’m head over heels in this fantasy I’m living.
I’m even able to ignore the cryptic threats from his house-keeper who’s hellbent on getting me fired.

But I’m not prepared for the world of high-powered billionaires and glitzy parties.
Besides, Graham isn’t like these people—he’s different.
At least, I think he is…until a shady character I’ve tried to leave in the past reappears as Graham’s new business partner and I’m reminded that I don’t belong in this world.

Sometimes life changing news comes in the form of just three simple words.
Sometimes it comes in the form of an unexpected, heart-wrenching secret and the fairytale is shattered.
Sometimes, it comes in the form of the opportunity of a fresh new start.

You just have to be willing to take the risk and walk away or maybe…there’s three little words that can fix it all.

Those Three Words is a steamy, sexy billionaire stand-alone with no cheating and a satisfying happily ever after.

DNF @ 24%

I couldn’t even make it to my typical 30% before quitting! This was insta-galore! Insta OTT lust from the H + Insta OTT housekeeper villain that the h was too stupid to see through + a h that giggles like the 5 year old she takes care of + suggestion that the h’s estranged father will be the H’s work partner and another OTT villain = not the book for me!

On to the next!

I love single parent love stories! This one is romantic and emotional one to read. Maybe because the hero couple of times always brings up his death wife but I'm glad that when things got serious with the heroine, he never talks so much about his death wife again...


THE HEROINE is the new nanny to the hero's adorable cutest five year old daughter. The hero is a single dad and his wife have passed away five years ago. The hero never have a girlfriend before, only one night stands but never too much and not a manwhor3. When the hero asked the heroine for an emergency because he have to go outside the town and needs someone to take care his daughter, the heroine said yes and decided to go. Cute meet for the first time.... And a lot of flirting from the hero after few days of them spending time together... That's when it first started.


Overall this story is fun one to read. It's well written, no unnecessary childish drama that gives you a headache!




‼️‼️‼️TRIGGER: Death, depression, violence and sadness.

‼️‼️‼️NO CHEATING

‼️‼️‼️IT HAS SEPARATION but not too long and both are loyal and didn't go to anyone else.

‼️‼️‼️THE HERO is 42 years old and the heroine is 26 years old.

‼️‼️‼️IT HAS PUSHING AWAY from both like two times but never too much and not too annoying...

‼️‼️‼️THE HERO IS POSSESSIVE PROTECTIVE BILLIONAIRE ALPHA MALE. His personality at first got me worried because he mention couple of times about his death wife, i thought things will get worst but surprisingly nope. As soon the hero and heroine got very seriously especially the hero already brings the heroine to special event with him claiming she's the girlfriend, he never brings about his past again. He only talked about his death wife with the heroine only one time...

The hero is not a manwhor3.


‼️‼️‼️MANY JEALOUS SCENES FROM THE HERO and little from the heroine...

“This is her friend? I’m instantly annoyed. Not only because he just ruined the moment but because who the fuck is this big oaf and why didn’t she mention she was hanging out with a man?”

“but I couldn’t shake the thought of her going home with another man.”


‼️‼️‼️THE HEROINE is a music school teacher. She's very talented with the piano. She's sassy one for sure, nice, outgoing, friendly and really loves the hero's daughter. They spend great time together and she even brings the daughter to places that the daughter never thought before. She even defended the daughter if the hero said something wrong or if someone said something wrong. She's amazing... I love the way she defend herself to the hero when things is not right with the way he treats his daughter (not all the time and not cross the line).

“You’re on thin ice, lady!”

he shouts, pointing a finger at me.
“Now, you listen to me.”

“No, you listen.”

Damn i love the way she talks back to the hero when he is the wrong one.


‼️‼️‼️IT HAS DRAMA with the ow. Which frustated me because the hero is so stupid. So the ow is the house manager of his, he only slept with her once when he was struggling with his death wife recently passed away and that ow takes advantage of him. They only slept once, but afterwards the ow always touching him only his hands tho like for years... He noticed it but never take it seriously with her flirting. It was shady enough of that ow didn't hired the heroine because the ow is jealous of her, the hero already know that and also the hero already knows that the ow is being cold to the heroine for what reason but he still kept her around the house. Which annoys me.

“You knew that’s why she hates me. When I brought it up the other day you acted like I was making it up. I heard you guys talking a while back and she was telling you to fire me, that she didn’t trust me. You know that’s why she didn’t call me back after my first interview. You knew all that!”

“ How would you feel, Graham?”

I take a step toward him.

“How would you feel if I’d slept with a man that I worked with. That I saw every single day. That lived in my home and I didn’t tell you about it. Even worse, what if I lied to you about it? A lie of omission is still a damn lie. How would you feel? You certainly acted irrational when you thought there was something between me and Hank. You certainly were blowing things out of proportion when Garrett said two words to me.”

But the OW didn't bring a lot of drama, didn't make too much appearance... After the heroine argued to the hero about it, he fired the ow immediately.

IT HAS DRAMA WITH OM but not too annoying and not too much... When the heroine decided to go to the bar with the om who's actually dating her best friend, the hero was so mad😂 The heroine did say it was a date to get a reaction from the hero and it did😂 He kept texting her when she was talking to the om, and then followed her to the bar and brings her back to his house... And this is before they have s3x tho. Other drama is about themselves 😂😂😂


‼️‼️‼️THE HERO wants the heroine soooo badly....

‼️‼️‼️THE CONNECTION between them is romantic and hot. The chemistry is very good!

‼️‼️‼️NO VIRGINS.
But both have been celibate and clean for a while.

‼️‼️‼️HOT SMUT SCENES.
So freakin hot😍😍😍

‼️‼️‼️LOVE IN FIRST SIGHT.

‼️‼️‼️SAFE ROMANTIC HOT LOVE STORY.

‼️‼️‼️HAPPY ENDING. Married and pregnant...




👉🏽👉🏽👉🏽Thank you so much for reading my review❤️❤️ For you who loves my review and follow it, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I did not get paid or be told to do a review on a book. I’m here just to write review about a book so i can remember it. Its my honest opinion😚 I didn’t know at first people will find me and follow me and trust me to be honest, I was surprised myself to look at the notifications from people who reach out to me😆 So everything i write down here on a review is based on my personal opinion and based on my true writing. I DID NOT COPY SOMEONE’S REVIEW OR WRITING SKILL because at first when i was using this app for one year i didn’t know how to scroll down on a book and see the reviews from others😂😅🤣 I know, silly me but hey I finally learned my lesson 😛😛😛 Thats why when people assume i copy someone’s review i was like what? Because at first i didn’t know how to use this app properly and i didn’t know how to open someone’s review because for a year i never follow someone or add friends or someone😂😂😂🤣 (I’m laughing so hard) 🤪 AND I NEVER COPY SOMEONE’S REVIEW EVER. IF I WRITE SOMETHING WRONG OR DOESN’T MAKE SENSE PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND BE NICE OKAY. 👈🏽👈🏽👈🏽✋🏽✋🏽


I have a disclaimer down bellow if you have negative thoughts about my review😙😙😙



🌐🌐🌐➡️↘️⬇️➡️This is my own personal thoughts and opinion about the book so if thats not sit right with you or you feel I’m not being fair blablabla, please know that everybody in this world have their own different things that they like and don’t like. It may not be the same thing with you but thats okay because i am my own person and you cannot control me or tell me what to do. For example; i put ketchup (tomato sauce) on my fried chicken. You think that’s disgusting? For me its not and i’ve been eating it like that for many many years. You tell me to put another sauce and see if i like that better? I already did many many times in years but i still like the way i like it. It’s called differences between me and you and billions people in this world😊 be open minded😙 I respect people’s opinions about my opinions but in the end of the day if i say I don’t like it or i do like it, its up to me and its on me. And in the end of the day i always liked and show my respect to books and people’s opinions on books whenever that book is good or not good in my opinion 😊 Respect people’s opinions guys😙😙 I don’t want to write this down because its not really my thing to do it. To like address something like this when obviously i know the people who’s been reading my reviews many times and all the time, they are smart enough to understand and respect other people’s opinions no matter what their opinions on book or their point of view 😙😙 am i right? 💕 also there are people even though i already write “this book is different because i have my own taste of book” those people still comment my taste is this and that when HELLO… everybody have their own thoughts on books and what they want to read… why i read it then? I read it and give it a review because i have to read a book to give it a review… why not read the description book to understand before I’m going to read it? Hello just in case you haven’t notice, description books can be tricky because they write this amazing things about a book but turns out the story is so toxic. Maybe for me its toxic but not for you? YES HELLO THATS WHY US HUMAN BEING HAVE OUR DIFFERENCES, WHAT I LIKE IT DOESN’T MEAN YOU WILL LIKE IT AND EITHER WAY TOO. why i still write the review then if i just don’t like a book? Because I CAN and i want to, you cannot tell me what to do and not what to do🤪 if you still wants to be negative and be karens about my review on book after all of what i just write, i will never acknowledge you and simply ignore you because its not that hard🙏 I won’t respond to negativity comments🙏🏼🙏🏼 DON’T ASK ME AGAIN ABOUT WHY NOT RESPONDING TO YOUR NEGATIVE COMMENTS BECAUSE I ALREADY SAY IT HERE AND I WON’T BE EXPLAINING AGAIN BECAUSE WE’RE NOT CHILDREN SO ITS NOT HARD FOR YOU AN ADULT TO UNDERSTAND😌😌 YES MY REVIEW IS LONG BUT YOU READ IT ANYWAY AND ITS FINE ACTUALLY I CAN WRITE AS LONG AS I LIKE😎 YES MY GRAMMAR IS BAD SOMETIMES AND MAYBE ALL THE TIME BUT LUCKILY MANY PEOPLE CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT I’M SAYING🤪 ⬅️↖️↕️⬅️↩️⤴️

3.5*

I thought this was a good/quick boss and the nanny read. It’s also age gap as well. There’s a bit of angst, some other woman drama, but she isn’t an actual threat to the main relationship. Overall a good read. I think this one is perfect if you’re looking for some spicy, angsty, nanny trope!

[Sultana · Rating 3 out of 5]

Enjoyable but nothing I haven’t read before

[Jenny Lovez Bookz]

DNF at 22%...Not really feeling this. Nothing wrong with it, just feels like I've already read this same story before

[Melluvsbooks]

DNF @ 21% - shitty father meets TSTL heroine… she makes his peen perk up so he makes her his nanny of his kid who he avoids and ignores because she (5 year old daughter) looks like his sainted dead spouse 😐😐😐… word on the street is that this includes daddy kink… which is awkward since he already has a little girl in his house who calls him daddy 🥴…. Supposedly she’s 26 and had enough brains to become a teacher… but can’t see through the housekeeper’s super obvious jealousy-fueled attempts to get her fired. I mean… she had JUST acknowledged in her own head that the evil housekeeper likely had a lady-boner for the hero and was jealous of the h… so why would she just blindly listen to her??? 👀 The stupidity is thick. Add in the immediate simping instalust by the H and all the tension (and any respect) is gone in the first chapter… not for me. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[Raquel.Reads · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you are looking for a spicy boss/nanny, age gap fun book that is entertaining… then this book is for you.

I am a sucker for a good boss/nanny romance book and this one did not disappoint. Unexpectedly finding herself out of a job due to budget cuts in the arts department, Margot finds herself working for Graham a grumpy 42-year-old billionaire with attitude. I’ll be the first to admit this book is not without issues, but I just loved both characters that I was able to overlook plot holes and just enjoy the ride.

[Anna Whin · Rating 4 out of 5]

this took me a longggg time to finish, not because it was a bad book, but because i was distracted by new book releases lol

i really tend to enjoy the nanny x single dad trope. i love it because the nanny takes care of the child and the dad takes care of the nanny 😈 this book was your generic single dad book. his wife passed away a few years ago and so he hired a nanny to take care of his young daughter. i really liked this book because it was super sweet and had a good amount of spice in it. it was rather kinky too if i must say so, not what i was expecting since i thought it was going to be generic spice because this book is pretty basic but no, it was quite hawt 🔥 there was a bit of OW drama that should’ve been resolved faster and earlier but dragged until the end of the book. this made me upset with the H because he didn’t really respect the heroine enough to cut off this OW until the very end when he released he was about to lose the heroine. but he did make it up with his sadness when he did lose the heroine. i also liked that the H fell first and said i love you first, it was so cute. the *slight* groveling (i wouldn’t even call it groveling he was just being a sweetheart), was super cute, the fact that he wanted to marry her and he loved her so much made me happy in the end. the epilogue was also insanely cute, i loved that they started growing their family bigger rather quickly, it gave for a very happy ever after. i liked this book and would love to read more from this author for sure! there were parts here and there that were a bit underwhelming and cringe at times but honestly a very cute romance!

[Laura · Rating 2 out of 5]

Was this addicting? Absolutely. I couldn’t put it down until I finished.

The spice was there, the age-gap was there, but this book just didn’t do it for me. It started off promising, but it slipped for me personally. It felt extremely similar to fifty shades, with the tripping in the door, to the bdsm style romance, which is totally fine but I couldn’t help but compare it to 50 shades the entire time unfortunately.

Just wasn’t for me, but it absolutely addicting to read.

[Sammie Bow · Rating 2 out of 5]

⭐️⭐️ M/F adult age gap (h is 26, H is 42), billionaire, nanny/boss, grumpy/sunshine, single dad, bit of a daddy kink romance

The following ratings are out of 5:
Plot: 📚📚📚📚
Romance: ❤️❤️
Steam/Spice: 🌶🌶🌶.5

The story:
Margot is hired to be the Nanny for billionaire Graham Hayes. He has a 5 year old little girl who Margot falls in love with. Margot and Graham are attracted to each other but know they shouldn’t act on it…until they do. They face some drama from the housekeeper and a someone from her past. She thinks it’s best to leave, but he thinks it’s best to convince her to stay.

My thoughts:
I saw so many 4 & 5 star reviews but I didn’t get it. He was such a pathetic father, didn’t see or speak to his daughter for long periods of time avoiding her because she looks like his dead ex…come on. The main couple also didn’t have any emotional connection just physical attraction. The 2nd half of the book was better. I have nothing against daddy kink tropes (this one was very light on the kinky stuff, I think she called him daddy like 3 times) but when your own 5 year old daughter calls you daddy and then you have sex with the nanny who also calls u daddy…it was a bit off for me.

Those Three Words: ★ ★ ★

Alexis Winter

”THOSE. THREE. WORDS.”

You didn’t think I was gonna spoil the words for you, did you? Naaah. This was an easy read with loads of spice and super cute moments. The hero, while a little grumpy is a secret softie and the heroine is cute and sweet.

There’s like a little bit of OW drama in the past which irked me and the writing wasn’t my favorite but the spice delivered and the tension gave everything that needed to be gave.

If not for anything else, I actually finished this book and I’ve been in the worst slump so, there’s that!

Shoutout to @eileenreadss for the rec! She posted her review this afternoon and I literally scrambled to go read it. She’s an influencer or whateva. Love you, mi amor. Thank you for believing in me!

2.5 ✨
3 🔥

I want to protect her like she’s mine. I want to mark every single part of her body. I want to look at her and know there isn’t one inch of her I haven’t touched or kissed.

I just couldn’t stay engaged with the story. It was predictable, a bit boring at times, and I found the dialogue to be a bit weird at times. Almost DNF but at that point I just wanted it get it over with.

[Aleid · Rating 2 out of 5]

2.0 | Nah. I don’t want a parental character that isn’t 100% in love with their child. It wasn’t terrible, but he’s fictional, you can literally make him as perfect as you want.

[Bonny Read · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great characters, enjoy and easy to read!

As the synopsis says, Those Three Words are not the words you might think. And yet the words they are, are not used in the way might think. Got you confused now? Read it, you'll understand what I mean.

This is an age gap romance. A 25 yr old h whose parents are deceased and has no family left to speak of and a 42 yr old, widowed H with a 5 yr old daughter, who's afraid to lose again so insulates himself and buries himself in work. Two people who know loss, two pieces of a puzzle that fit so well together. Attraction is there on both sides but there are obstacles that prevent them from giving in to it, i.e., boss/employee relationship, a jealous housekeeper, among others.

There were a couple of times when I thought misunderstandings were a bit overdone, but the author brought them around pretty decently. And mostly their misunderstandings/problems stemmed from outside sources. Overall, I loved the characters, loved the chemistry between them and I loved seeing the trouble makers finally get their comeuppance.

Enjoyable story, easy to read and steamy sex.

[Erica Rogers · Rating 5 out of 5]

Let me just say Alexis Winters knows how to write a dominating, strong and incredibly possessive billionaire boss!
Graham looks good always, sneaks up and talks dirty, and knows how to own what he wants in all aspects! He will make you melt!

Margot is a music teacher let go due to budget cuts and finds the perfect opportunity to care for Grahams daughter Eleanor as a live in nanny. Eleanor is just a doll and how perfect she interacts with Margot just makes you want more for them both.

There’s a lot of tension between these two from the moment Margot walks in the front door. Their have incredible chemistry but also both incredibly stubborn.

I don’t want to give anything else away other than to say download this immediately! Your going to get age gap, single dad, billionaire boss/nanny, and plenty of incredible spice.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[Sammie Reads · Rating 4 out of 5]

Man oh man, if I’d have known what a dirty talker Graham was, I would have read this ages ago! When we first meet Graham, he’s buttoned up as can be, stiff and formal, even to the point of calling his staff Ms. Silver etc and expecting to be called Mr. Hayes.

Little did I know just how not formal he can be! I adored Margot from the start, she’s lovely and sweet and so caring! Her interactions with Eleanor, who is a fucking DELIGHT, was heartwarming!

Graham pissed me off royally by being so blinded to Fiona, whose guts I absolutely loathe, and I found myself needing to put the book down to calm down. I get so worked up over books, I swear. Loved their HEA, loved their sweet love!

[Adelaide Quince · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not a big fan of boss/nanny stories, but I thought I'd give this a try. I never really warmed up to Graham. The random outbursts of screaming took me entirely out of the story. It also frequently felt more like obsession than romance. It was an okay read and I read it quickly, but it didn't strike the sort of chord that would have me re-read it.

[Susan McWhinney · Rating 4 out of 5]

An enjoyable slow burn book of two completely different people meeting as boss and employee. Margot lost her job as music teacher at the local school. Desperate to find a new job she applies to be a nanny for the rich obnoxious broody Graham. Unknown to her the house keeper has had her sights set on Graham since the death of his wife. Living the dream of live-in nanny for his 5 year old daughter Margot loses all control when it comes to Graham. He is a lot older than her, but Margot can picture them together. Whilst Graham has desires building up, he finds her irresistable and has to control himself around her. The housekeeper is intent on getting rid of the new nanny and tries everything to make Graham fire her. What happens after their first kiss? How does Margot feet when daughter, Eleanor asks if Margot has kissed her daddy. What are those three words that sets a fire in Graham's belly and he finally gives in and makes his move. Lots of twists in the story which add some depth to it. I found it page turn worthy as all of Alexis winters books. A must read.
An honest review from ARC reader.

[Whit · Rating 3 out of 5]

By page 155 this became a DNF for me. Why? Because erotic scenes should enhance the story, not make you upchuck your lunch!!!!

Margot has a huge heart. She is an incredible music teacher and her students love her. When she loses her job, due to budget cuts, she is forced to take a job as a nanny. Graham is a selfish, arrogant , millionaire who Margot has to remind him, to spend time with Eleanor, his 5 year old daughter. Yet he has plenty of time to have down, dirty and disgusting sex with Margot.

When Warren Dorsey calls his daughter, Margot refuses to take his call. But yet when Graham asks about her family, Margot tells him BOTH her parents are dead??? So now I have to continue reading to find out why she said that. BOOK HOSTAGE!! LOL!!!!

What a beautiful Romance after magot silver lost her music teaching job. she was worried till she seen a job listing as a nanny with music background.

[a 🔮 · Rating 2 out of 5]

2.5 Stars.

Overall kinda bland, although there were some hot lines. 👀 (The .5 is for the handful of eyebrow raising hot lines).

I’m all for the daddy kink, when it’s not the guy referring to himself as daddy. Ick number 1

I’m here for the 16 year age gap, but when the 42 year old keeps saying she has “a tight little body” it goes into the ick territory. Ick number 2.

Sidenote: “those three words” are probably not what you think they are. Ick number 3.

There’s a difference between possessive/territorial and controlling. This book fails to see that distinction and when a male love interest threatens the FMC’s male friend (FRIEND, they literally say it’s like they’re siblings) because MLI “doesn’t trust men” around the female main character? Not her friends, and definitely not his friends, the second his friend wanted to meet her he drags her away and they go home. Because “all men want to sleep with her”. And he does this repeatedly. And he apologizes but nothing changes. RED FLAG BESTIE

The writing itself was not great, but I was willing to overlook it if the story was good, but the story was meh. Had potential, but fell flat.

There’s no reason a 280 page book should take me 3 days to get through, and in hindsight I should have DNFed but I kept reading because it was short.

[Becky · Rating 2 out of 5]

There was so much in this book that was good but I really got caught up in the some major plot holes. I really liked Graham's character. He was moody and sexy. He was totally conflicted and I love that in a nanny romance. Margot was a great character also. She was well developed and I really liked here.

My issues are with the timeline and it's movement. The book starts with Margot losing her job at the end of a semester and start of summer break.... so end of May.
In the book there are statements about "Margot has been with us a few month and things are going well"
At other times we are just at the beginning of summer and mid June by the end of the book when Margot is conflicted about if she should take a new job or not and leave her nanny position.
Next plot issue, at one point The couples meets in the Pantry in the middle of the night both seeking out a snack. Graham is not wearing a shirt just sleep pants. Later during their first encounter when Graham takes of his shirt Margot notices a very detailed Tattoo sleeve on his arm? She did not notice it while they were in the pantry? I am truly confused at this point if I read the finally copy of this book. I felt incomplete and disorganized.
I am not impressed honestly. This was my first time reading the author and I will not be back. The quality of this story, while the basics are there the craft and expectations I have of a "Finished" book are not there.

Sorting Out His Priorities: Family vs Business

At 42, Graham Hayes has reached the age when he can fully appreciate that he is a man who has had all of life’s treasures given to him. He has had the love of his parents, and their generosity of love, opportunities and wealth have allowed him to take his place among the titans of Chicago as his father’s heir. And, in his early twenties, he met, successfully wooed and wed a woman whom he loved, a woman who was his equal in the world of business and with the same goals and dreams for the future.

And while Grahams’ life was certainly easier than the majority of men his age, it was not without pain. His wife Meredith became the occupants at his childhood home when his father died a few years after Graham and Meredith’s wedding, and Graham’s mom, ready to downsize, chose to move to a townhome near her former residence. While the death of his dad was a loss, he was a man who had lived and loved with gusto. Graham’s life continued on its steady course. In their mid 30’s, Graham and Meredith began their family with the birth of daughter Eleanor. Life could not be sweeter. But all soon change with Eleanor was about 2. The young mom Meredith was unnaturally tired and listless and a visit to the doctor’s office and a diagnosis of cancer began the brave 3-year journey of the young family to Meredith’s death

For the last 2 ½ years, Graham has been a devoted dad to Eleanor as he sought to hold his grief apart from his duties to is daughter and his business. And he hasn’t been alone. His mom has been wonderful and with a PA at work and his house supervisor, the day-to-day activities of running his company and a large estate have been managed without Graham having to address every small issue.

So, dad and daughter have held each other tightly. And, when Graham had to attend to business related activities away from home, she had a nanny. But the nanny has given notice, and Graham needs someone immediately. Graham has his house supervisor, Ms. Perry post an ad seeking a primary teacher who also was skilled in music So, when a vita comes in from a teacher with a degree in early childhood education and music the candidate, 25-year-old Margot Silver is perfect—at least on paper. And, after the interview, Graham feels that she might be the one with whom he can entrust the care, happiness and musical training of sweet Eleanor. And, as a resident of his home, the small, slender impish green-eyed woman with freckles across her nose, and long strawberry-blonde hair, often braided to control seems a perfect addition to the household as far as dad and daughter are concerned. However, Ms. Perry, the house supervisor fears that Eleanor is “too perfect.”

Alexis Winter once more engages the reader in a delightful romance of an older man and a younger woman who wins his heart and the heart of his daughter and look forward to the next titles in the series.

3,8/5
Ta książka była lepsza niż zakładałam i nie spodziewałam się takich trzech słów.
Nie miałam co do niej dużych wymagań. Romans, Age Gap, forced proximity, nanny and sigle dad. Trochę standard, ale za to dobrze napisany. Naprawde to mnie zaskoczyło, podejście do tematu. Może nie czytałam dużo książek z motywem niani, ale podoba mi się jak zostało to przedstawione.
Trochę czekałam na punkt kulminacyjny i jakaś większa drame, ale była ona dość mała, stad nie dałam pełnej 4. Ale tak to nic zarzucić nie mogę. Jak na romans to niezła książka.

Margot and Grahams story isn’t quite your typical Billionaire nanny story. Yes they fall in love, it’s how they work out their differences and problems to get to their HEA that makes for a fast paced, heartfelt read.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

i mean it’s was okay could’ve been better but i still enjoyed it🤷🏾‍♀️
one thing that didn’t really do it for me was the pet names and the daddy stuff..i just found it weird and made me really uncomfortable🏃🏾‍♀️
