The Nanny

Product Information

Every single chapter, I had to read their small talk and discussing their plans for the day. I had to sit through Cassie taking Sophie and her new friend to the zoo. I had to read about Aiden’s work crises, like scallions being left out of the refrigerator. I had to read sex scenes about the most two-dimensional characters I’ve ever read about going at it like robots reciting lines from some sort of AI porn. Speaking of robots, Aiden seemed to be malfunctioning and constantly repeating the phrases, “I’m trying,” and “Everyone’s a critic”—to which Cassie was programmed to respond, “Poor baby.” Smart, fun, sexy, and sizzling with romantic tension, The Nanny is a mouth-wateringly delicious take on second chances with a healthy dash of steam. I can't wait for more from Lana Ferguson! * Sara Desai, author of The Singles Table * Also Lana is one of the funniest authors I’ve ever talking to & I am so glad I got to meet her through this book & give her all my updates while reading 🫶🫶 First things first: From a reader’s perspective, it looked like Aiden was having a parasocial relationship with “Cici”, and the author and everybody in the book thought that was totally fine. I couldn’t find a single way to make any of it okay in my head. I thought all of the online interactions (which are all purely sexual) interspersed throughout the book made Aiden sound like an absolute creep, knowing he was trying to meet her in real life. By the time the story EVEN BEGINS, Cassie’s webcamming days are long behind her, which made me wonder why make it a major fixture of the plot in the first place?

I really like the MCs and side characters. They are developed and somewhat complex. I really enjoyed how sweet Cassie is with Sophie and seeing Aiden figure out how to be more present as a parent. However, I never felt attached to them, and as a whole, they feel a bit generic. BRING ME ALL THE DILFS PLZ. No but seriously if you like a single dad romance, with sprinkles of humor, amazing characters, & a boatload of steam, then this is the book for you!!The Nanny is a single dad romance but this daddy is a CHEF and an absolute sweetheart with an adorably grumpy encanto-obsessed-pancake-loving-9-year-old who lovingly burns him at every chance she gets (in a literal sense), I guess that's why he comes off so humble—and of course we can't forget the Nanny who is about to change their lives.

I would be lying if I said I didn't read this for the spice. Someone told me it was very spicy and I needed something with a little bit of heat. But you know when something becomes spicy just because you have thrown TOO MUCH pepper in and not because you used exotic spices? Yeah, that's basically this... There is quite a bit of smut but it's pretty much 80% just bland vanilla. This steamy, romantic comedy puts a modern spin on traditional tropes, bringing the falling-for-the-nanny and secret-past storylines into the 21st century…Readers who enjoyed Julie Murphy and Sierra Simone’s A Merry Little Meet Cute will adore this positive, upbeat, sex-filled romp.”— Library Journal

Would highly recommend if you are looking for a spicy and sweet read with a single dad and some hot sneaking around 🤭

This book is now my entire personality. It’s my wish on a shooting star (I JUST WANT A HOT DADDY CHEF OKAY??). It’s my white whale. In layman’s terms (a thing a character played by Steve Carell once said): It’s the perfect combination of sexy and cute.

Ferguson makes the will-they-won't-they sing with complex emotional shading and a strong sense of inevitability to her protagonists' connection...Rosie Danan fans should snap this up * Publishers Weekly (starred review) * Nothing exciting happened in the story besides Cassie and Aiden’s romance, but I need more than just a romance plot to keep me interested. So I started skimming around 30% because both characters would drone on with internal dialogue about their attraction to the other or just describe the day. It was boring writing unless the MCs were interacting directly, so the story as a whole was underwhelming.
