Decent quick read
This is an instalove, which isn’t my favorite trope to read but it is a cute story. There were times where I felt like there should’ve been more leading up to some situations. Like she didn’t want to impose on their dinner but didn’t mind moving in to be their nanny? And there was no thoughts leading up to it. Like all of a sudden this guy needs a nanny. There’s just a few instances like that where it seemed a little outlandish, otherwise, it was well written.

This is a book in The Heart of a Wounded Hero series and it is Emmy and Cortez's story and it is definitely a must read. Emmy has a roommate that is so irresponsible that it ends up with Emmy losing her apartment through no fault of her own and if that isn't bad enough she also ends up losing her job because someone lied about her and now she doesn't know what to do next. When Cortez sees Emmy he is instantly drawn to her and when they talk and he sees just how upset she is he decides that he is going to help her by offering her a job not knowing that this will change the course of there lives but will Cortez be able to break down the walls that Emmy has erected so high that it causes a big barrier between her and anyone trying to get close to her and give them a chance to have a happy ending or will they just remain friend's missing out on something special only time will tell. This Book has great characters and a storyline that pulled you in and had you turning the pages wondering what would happen next and what the outcome would be for them all and I can't wait to read more book's in the future by this author.

When it rains it pours! Poor Emmy has come upon strike three thanks to her irresponsible roommate and as a result she has no longer has an apartment. When she calls her friend, she suggests that she stay at her brother's dorm, but her brother had other ideas which has Emmy once again looking for a place to stay. If that isn't enough the brother calls his sister and lies and that causes Emmy to lose her job, so she is really in a bad way. Cortez spots Emmy and is immediately drawn to her and can tell that she is in distress. When they sit over breakfast, and she tells her story he offers her a job and with that it will start them along the journey that will lead them to their happily ever after! I was caught up in Cortez and Emmy's story and couldn't wait to see how it would end for this couple.

Down-on-her-luck female lead. "Everyone I love dies."
Wounded hero.
Attempted SA.
Adorable secondary kid-character.
Single dad.
Nanny/ workplace relationship.
Age gap.
Instalove.
Unplanned pregnancy.
The writing could be a bit stronger at times. Examples:
● Phrases like, ‘My c–k jolts awake’ from a grown man, just at the sight of a pretty female.
● Overuse of pet-name. Male lead is calling his new nanny “angel” and “angel eyes” and “my angel” before he has even known her for 24 hours.
The formatting was a bit odd, but I always knew who was speaking, it was easy on the eyes and comfortable No complaints.
Overall:
A super cute, short, instalove read with lovable leads.
Great for when you just want a quick read!
3.5 stars.

The couple: Cortez and Emmy
Romance trope: he loves the nanny
Series: Heart of a Wounded Hero
Length: 94 pages
Plot: Emmy is having a run of bad luck when she meets Cortez. The handsome older man is out with his son and just so happens to be looking for a nanny. Emmy is grateful for the opportunity but she isn't sure about Cortez's advances. She shouldn't be so hot for her employer, should she? He isn't about to take no for an answer though. He knows Emmy is the one for him.
Commentary: The description actually sounds creepy (older guy pursuing young nanny even if she says no). That's not exactly what happened. He was older...than her (not old). He was a dedicated single dad who really did need a nanny. He put on the charm, to be sure. And she wasn't really a nanny (although she was in a vulnerable state, so there's that). Still, he was a good guy in the end and they fell in love, legitimately. His son was adorable and sweet too, so that was a bonus.

Emmy is not having the best of days when an irresponsible roommate is the cause of losing her apartment and loses her job as well due to some lies. Cortez notices a woman in destress, and when they get chatting, she tells him everything, and he offers her a job as a nanny to his son, Miles. This is a well written story which pulls at the heartstrings, and has compassion, intrigue, romance, and love, which leads to a heartwarming page turner.

Emmy was down on her luck when she not only lost her apartment, but her job as well. Meeting Cortez was good for her because he offered her a job. It was great for him because of the attraction he felt for her.
This was and entertaining military romance.

Another winner in this series. This is a sweet romance between single dad Cortez and broke girl Emmy who is down on her luck after being taken advantage of by others. They just happen to meet when she gets dumped out of the car by a jerk. Cortez has asthma from lung damage that happened in the military, so he has to be careful. She becomes the nanny for Miles, who is adorable. She and Cortez fall in love and finally get together. Swoony scenes and definitely feel-good vibes.
