The Nanny

i just couldn't really get into it??? like the plot didn't really interest me much? i might pick it up later, who knows

2.75⭐️ I love the story and characters except Iris. If u know u know. But until page 345 the was no conflict. Also there were too many spicy scenes without much context for my taste. But let me tell you no one dirty talks as Auden does MY GOD THE GUY KNOWS HOW TO TALK. I felt too long and it took me a lot to finished it because I lost interest in the story

“Sometimes, the best recipes are the ones you didn't plan on cooking.”

I mean, tenia fe, quería que me gustará como otros romances lo han hecho pero no fue así. Si tiene la clásica fórmula de un romance de película que me gusta pero está mezclado con una escritura algo pobre. Además, no se si esto es por la traducción al español pero no me agrado lo vulgar que se tornaba a veces en las escenas spicy y si, estoy juzgandolo por mi edición al español también

I picked this one because I am curious about her second book, releasing in December, and I wanted to see if I liked Lana's writing style.

Unfortunately I got bored of the story around 40% and stopped caring about the characters and their happy ending.

I do think it is mostly a “me” problem as I'm not a fan of stories with kids and their quirky traits, but do try it if you like the single dad trope and spice.

i really enjoyed the premise and the two main characters a lot. i love single parent romances so much. this was a bit long and i didn't really enjoy the conflict for a romance, but i had so much reading this 

Don't let this adorably innocent cover fool you, this Nanny + Boss story is hottttttttt.

Este libro es simplemente maravilloso♥️ desde el primer momento te engancha y entiendes tanto la situación de ambos protas que solo los quieres proteger, así que efectivamente que me ha encantado por que se me ha hecho súper divertido y rápido de leer y el spicy que tiene es un chefff kiss

Okay prepare yourself because I have thoughts. They're kinda all over the place because this book has made me unable to rationalize my thoughts enough to make coherent sentences.

Listen, there was nothing going for Cassie & Aiden except for physical attraction & lust. So much so that it was almost painful to read. I felt zero chemistry like absolutely nothing between them & quite frankly it just made me not give a fuck. About. Anything. It felt like they got to know little pieces about each other's lives & then boom suddenly they're fucking & falling in love? Erm no. (Maybe slow burn & angst & pining like REAL pining has me spoiled.)

Honestly enough, I'm just disappointed. I was so excited for this one. The premise is undoubtedly insane and SO fucking intriguing. There was so much potential, the execution was just not it for me. So much more could've been done and it wasn't. The only fans aspect was a really spunky and exciting idea to me but it wasn't even a big part of the plot like I was expecting it to be. The only thing that seemed to be carrying the plot along (before the third act conflict) was the fact that Cassie hadn't told Aiden that she was cici. So even after that got sorted out the story just dragged.

Now, why did it feel like Aidens only personality traits
were being a chef and having a kid & Cassies were knowing random snapple facts and having shitty parents. Like come onnnn I KNOW THERES MORE TO BOTH OF YOU THERE HAS TO BE. That being said, I didn't connect with the main characters I felt like I didn't see much of them. & bringing my point up from earlier about feeling no chemistry, it just made their dynamic is just soo boring and bland to me. It was like sex was the only thing bonding them besides Cassie being Sophie's nanny therefore causing Cassie to be more involved in their family. More than half way into the book & I felt like I still didn't know who they were individually let alone AS A COUPLE. Like okay great you have mind blowing sex, now what? Even then it's like the smut just wasn't hitting for me & I couldn't much enjoy it because I just didn't feel the connection between the two.

Aiden & Cassie have been intimate on onlyfans before they actually met for Cassie to be the nanny, & it was only for a few months–not to mention they really didn't talk too much about their personal lives–until contact was lost. As mid 20/early 30 year olds, you would think they would've quickly gotten over something like that. So why is it that a year later, they're acting like they just had some intense long term ldr when really they barely even knew each other? Like I was so confused on why Cassie keeping the fact that she was Cici unknown from Aiden & her stressing about it was even a thing because like...why would he even be upset. I don't think it was ever that serious for Cassie to hace acted the way she did. Again, they seriously didn't even KNOW each other fr.

Ugh & don't get me started on the third act conflict. The fact that Cassie made the decision to leave for the third act conflict was really just jarring to me because ALL OF EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED TOWARDS THE END WAS SO PREVENTABLE. I really don't get it, like I can see how her thought process would make her quick to do something like that if she didn't have someone to go to about the situation for a different opinion and perspective on things but she literally had wanda who gave her advice regularly and she DID give her advice about the situation, & cassie ignored it & did that shit anyway. Like why??? Whyyy???? It was so hurtful to not only Aiden but to SOPHIE (the real MC along w wanda) & I was angry ab it. At that point I just wanted the story to be over it just felt so dragged out.

Very slow, boring and long. No chemistry between the characters if you ask me. Getting 2 stars because I love Sophie and Wanda, and the story had potential, it just fell short.

Nothing about this book kept my attention. Yes, there's smut but nothing about it excited me.
I found their conversations really cringeworthy, “Um..... I think..... you have been.... avoiding me...? After.... You know.....”
“No...... I..... okay i kinda was....”

Literally half the book proceeds like that.
Maybe the whole stammering and pausing a billion times would have worked in a movie, but it didn't work in the book. 

Not sure if this is a spoiler but I'll cover it anyway There's a whole situation with an aunt who wants custody of Aiden's daughter Sophie, and our FMC keeps defending Aiden that JUST because he is her biological dad. And everytime i read it, it just didn't sit right with me. There are so many times that biological parents are not suited to take care of their children. Given that FMC talks about her shitty parents a lot.
Anyways, I don't even know why i picked this up.

I really enjoyed this one. The third act breakup was incredibly frustrating, but aside from that, I enjoyed the book. Looking forward to what this author writes next!

Ok there's spicy and then there is SPICY.

This was filthy spicy. Like can't read in public cause I'm blushing.

The spice was off the charts, and the story/angst behind it was amazing as well
