About this deal

I really liked THE NANNY, but it is surprisingly spicy! The spice begins early and does not let up throughout the whole book. So keep a water towel nearby! The story is good, lots of twists that keep the tension tight, but nothing too preposterous. I really enjoyed the character of Aunt Iris as Cassie's foil. Iris is rigid, fearful, and difficult to get to know, but still a good person. She brings wonderful tension into the story. 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. I'll insert another [oh] for emphasis, because while Aiden is basically a golden retriever in human form, but looks can be deceived because the words that come out of this guy's tongue in bed are positively filthy.

I've been eyeing this book since it came out, and c'mon, a former OnlyFans girl becoming the nanny for a single dad, sounds so entertaining, but the execution was just bad! The characters were boring, the plot was non-existent and the spicy scenes were carbon copies of one another. I honestly felt like I was in some Groundhog Day situation for most of the book. The writing didn't help either, it was pretty choppy, I'm honestly kind of surprised this was traditionally published.

Summary

The book was dual POV, but mainly centered around Cassie’s narrative. When Aiden’s sections begin, the tension is through the roof because they’re so strategically and sparingly placed. I haven’t seen many books with an imbalance like that and god I adore it. Before nearly every chapter, there were sections from their OnlyFans conversations that WORKED SO WELL. I’m normally not a fan of fillers like that but sweet baby Guy Fieri I’ve been taken to FLAVOR TOWN. 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. Everything about this book made me feel like it was written for ME (sure, I know this isn't the case, but I choose to live in a world where I obliviously believe that it is anyway). Chandler was so...just...RELATABLE I felt every bit of her uncertainty, her imposter syndrome; her character was written in a way that inspires you to root for her, and in turn inspires you to root for yourself too.

Smart, fun, sexy, and sizzling with romantic tension, TheNanny is a mouthwateringly 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 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. This was the first half of the book: They would have an awkward conversation where one of them says something really unprofessional, they would avoid each other for a bit, and then "accidentally" bump into each other in the kitchen to have another weird conversation that would end awkward, and then they'd repeat the cycle. I'm not even kidding this happened a minimum of 3 times! And then the second half was just sex, no plot (not that the first half had much plot anyway). The worst part was they were so BORING! There was no chemistry between them, besides the fact that they thought each other was hot, so I just didn't care. They had no personality except that Diden was busy with work and Cassie had bad parents. But even that was underdeveloped because we hardly got any scenes of him at work (or literally doing anything other than coming home from a long day) even though it was a dual POV, and I swear we never even found out what Cassie's parents did, only that she moved out at 18. And don't even get me started on her Snapple facts... it was giving the same energy as the Ellen letters from It Ends with Us 🤦🏼‍♀️The Characters—Aiden is so dreamy and I really liked Cassie too! But the side characters flesh out this book so well. Wanda, Aunt Iris, and Sophie help bring this world to life. If you're looking for a swoon-worthy romance that'll make your love butterflies flutter, this is the one!
