Publisher Description
#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 and being around Lissa, his cool but introverted tween.
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 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 and fight to prove he learned his lessons well and is worthy of a happily ever after with Tallulah.
Customer Reviews
Decent
The book was a quick listen. Enjoyed this one more than the first. There is an awful click screech at the start of every chapter.
Hit and miss…
There is something cringe about this dude Burgess… he hmm-hmm’s like a caveman and says things that would make me run if a guy was so schmexual toward me so soon in our relationship, like the stuff he says he says on their first, second and third time doing the do… I’d run. I didn’t feel chemistry between these two… and he seemed super clueless on how to deliver the passion to his girl… idk… this one didn’t deliver the way the first book did. And she was insufferable… really? We have to say we’re poor and shirts are $75 while he’s playing professional hockey? lol… this bish….
All sizzle no substance
I enjoy a little spicy, but that’s all this book has. Such a superficial plotline, characters are not developed at all, and the entire story seems forced. Completely disappointed, as I loved Fan Girl Down.
