2.5 starsReview Summary: A classic, Harlequinesque story of the billionaire and the nanny, that didn’t quite work for me.Review: I’ve read other Bonnie Dee books and loved them, which was why I was eager to read this one. This book didn’t work for me, but I can see how others might love it – probably for exactly the reasons I didn’t. If you’re looking for a formulaic, Harlequinesque book with Insta-Love for no apparent reason, this is a fantastic book. It’s the classic tale of the billionaire and the nanny falling in love and living Happily Ever After, though of course in this case they’re both guys.If I’d really engaged or connected with the characters, that would have made all the difference. Unfortunately, I never really liked Louis. He struck me as a drama queen who would manufacture or exaggerate drama if life didn’t give it to him. I liked Dan well enough, I guess, but there was nothing particularly interesting or engaging about him. The only two characters in this story I genuinely liked and cared about were Crissi and Cara, Dan’s ex-wife and daughter.For those who are annoyed by the evil female characters in so many m/m books, this book will be a welcome relief. The only problem is that I found myself wishing Dan had stayed with Crissi or would get back together with her, but it would hardly be an m/m romance in that case.It took me three months to read this book because I kept getting bored and setting it down after a chapter or two. In that regard, it made for perfect bedtime reading. I never had any difficulty figuring out what was going on when I picked it back up, sometimes weeks later. So I could see this book being a perfect summer vacation beach read. Recommended for those who are in the mood for what this book offers.This review was originally posted at Reviews by Jessewave, where I received the book for free in exchange for an honest review.
