The Sexy One

Lauren Blakely — 2016

A sexy, swoony standalone romance from the #1 NYT Bestselling author of FULL PACKAGE and MISTER O.... Let me count the ways why falling into forbidden love is not my wisest move... 1. She works with me every single day. Did I mention she's gorgeous, sweet, kind and smart? 2. She works in my home. Playing with my five-year-old daughter. Teaching my little girl. Cooking for my princess. Which means... 3. She's the nanny. And that makes her completely off-limits...But it doesn't stop me from wanting her. All of her. *** The other nannies in this city don't call him the Sexy One for nothing. My boss, the amazingly wonderful single father to the girl I take care of every day is ridiculously hot, like movie star levels with those arms, and those eyes, and that body. Not to mention, the way he dotes on his little girl melts me all over. But what really makes my knees weak are the times when his gaze lingers on me. In secret. When no one else is around. I can't risk my job for a chance at something more...can I? But I don't know how to resist him much longer either... With all the heat, heart and humor readers have come to expect, this newest standalone will make you laugh, swoon and feel like you're falling in love!

It was a fun and quick read. I am a sucker for these tropes since I binged watched Melissa and Joey.

This was a cute read. It would've probably been a quicker one if I'd had more reading time the last couple of days. Despite the "forbidden" aspect of the romance, it was really low on drama. It definitely had some great sweet moments and a few sexy ones as well. But all in all? It was like and not love for me. It started strong, but fizzled for me towards the end. I think if I'd read it in one sitting, I'd have connected more with the characters, maybe? Not sure. It was a good read though. I'm just afraid when it's all said and done, it's not gonna be one that sticks with me. Review to come.
