My rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Blurb:
He’s sexy as sin…
…and if someone doesn’t check me fast, I’m gonna fall for the single dad hockey coach.
I’d adored my last two charges with all of my heart, but they grew up and no longer needed me. Saying goodbye had hurt more than I could endure again, so I wasn’t keen to start over as a nanny anytime soon…
Until I met scared, angry Beatrix.
I had to help the little girl whose need for love is palpable. And her uncle Silas, who’s stepped up to dad? His sultry, pin-me-in-place eyes promised to fulfill all my dreams.
Silas knows nothing about children, thanks to his broken childhood, and even less about making a family or a home. He’s in way over his head.
That’s where I come in.
A fixer, they call it in hockey. I’m not sure I can fix what’s broken between them, and yet...
I yearn for the life we could share—that is, if taking a chance on the single dad doesn’t put my heart in the penalty box for good…
My review:
Coaching the Nanny is the first book in the Wildcatters
Hockey series. It was a hockey coach
needing a nanny romance that was heartbreaking.
It was well written, and the pacing was right on. The main characters were charming, and
Beatrix was an adorable little girl.
Silas Whittaker had lost contact with his family years ago
and was caught unaware when he received a call telling him his sister had died
and left him in charge of a grieving eight-year girl. Becoming an instant parent was terrifying for
Silas and with no knowledge of children, he turns to the Practically Perfect
Nanny for help.
Paloma Concord has been a nanny all her life. She loved her two charges, but they have
grown up and started college. Now she
needs a job to help pay for her mother’s health care but is afraid of having
her heart broken again after getting attached to someone else’s children. She
becomes attached to Beatrix but fears that Silas will find her dad and give
Beatrix up.
Paloma and Silas both came to love Beatrix so when the
possibility of losing her comes up, they are both heartbroken. They were an amazing couple and watching
their friendship and love for Beatrix grow was wonderful. It was an emotional book but one that leaves
you smiling at the end. I look forward
to the next book in the series.
I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
