I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review, Okay I see from the other reviews Im in a minority here lol
I enjoyed this story, I just felt like everything was too rushed for me, It was a short instalove/lust romance,
Maddox needed a nanny as he took over the responsibility of his sisters kids, He also needed the stability as the grandparents wanted custody of the kids, So he hired Finley. From the minute they met he was attracted to her, But he didnt want to go there because of the kids, But when the social worker shows up he immediately tells her that he and Finley fell in love and got engaged,
So I dont mind the story, I love single parent romances, But this one just fell a bit short for me, On the one hand I liked that Maddox wanted to help his sister and he took the kids and he was also scared they would be taken from him as the grandparents wanted custody.
But from the minute that was mentioned in the book it wasnt mentioned again, And then there was a weird side story about Finley finding her twin sister she didnt know she had, I dont have a problem with it, but it seemed like the author couldnt make up her mind about the grandparents angle or the twin sister angle, And then it was over before it started and Finley had a case of Maddox just wanting her for the kids sake
I dont know this was just too many things happening in a short story.
And everything was just too rushed for me, If you love older/younger romance and throw in some kids and these two definitely had some hot steamy moments then I guess this is for you, I just maybe wanted a bit more to the story,
