About the book

#1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey returns with an all-new sports rom-com about a burly, surly, single dad who falls head-over-hockey-stick for his quirky live-in nanny...Tallulah is smart, vivacious, and studying to be a marine biologist. She’s also twenty-six and broke. So when Burgess, a battle-scarred hockey veteran and newly single dad, offers her a job as his live-in nanny, she jumps at the opportunity to get paid while living in a super fancy neighborhood. This workplace romance takes an unexpected turn when she finds herself living with not just his cool but introverted tween, Lissa, but the grumpy athlete himself.Her tween charge isn’t the only one who could use some help fitting in, though. According to…well, everyone except Burgess, he needs to get back on the dating scene, and adventurous Tallulah is just the girl to show him how. But as boundaries are slowly crossed in this nanny romance and Burgess finds himself pulled between his daughter, who wants her parents back together, and his insane chemistry with Tallulah, a huge rift is formed, and Tallulah does the “right” thing—breaks her own heart and walks away. Though Burgess knows it’s for the best—he’s too jaded, with too much baggage—a chance meeting, and a new push from his daughter, forces him to put everything on the line. He has to fight to prove he learned his lessons well and is worthy of a happily ever after with Tallulah.

    Ganz nett – aber mehr hatte ich mir erhofft🏒

    Mir hat das Buch gefallen, aber ich bin not in love. Ich mag eigentlich den Single Dad/Nanny Trope echt gerne, aber hier hat es für mich einfach nicht ganz funktioniert. Es ging mir alles etwas zu schnell mit der Liebe, fast schon insta-love, und der Konflikt im dritten Akt war für mich nicht ganz glaubwürdig. Insgesamt war die Geschichte zwar süß, witzig und unterhaltsam, aber irgendetwas hat gefehlt. Werde ich ein weiteres Buch aus der Reihe lesen? Wahrscheinlich schon.😂

    Unterhaltsam und kurzweilig, aber leider nicht ganz so gut wie Band 1 (was auch wirklich schwer ist 😅). Das Hin und Her im letzten Drittel hätte es einfach nicht in dem Ausmaß gebraucht. Trotzdem hatte ich beim Lesen eine gute Zeit und bin jetzt gespannt auf das dritte Buch in dieser Sports Romance Reihe 😉
