Author: Willow Aster
Couple: Felicity & Sutton Landmark
Tropes: single father, age-gap, nanny x boss romance, friends to lovers, small town, forced proximity
Review: Stay blew my mind! Suttonโs story was the perfect ending to the Landmark siblings and I loved the tie-in and crossover Willow shows us for her next series! This book had everything from single father to small town attraction! Willow was masterful in giving us the answers the the last few burning questions we had going in!
Sutton Landmark is PERFECTION in this book! I adored his relationship with Owen, his son, and the rest of his siblings. I found that Willow was able to make him just broody enough that him falling hard for Felicity was beautiful but also kept his stoic demeanor intact. The refusal he tries to hold onto in regards to his attraction to her made me laugh at times since he is so stubborn, especially after he played roles in all his siblingsโ romances! I also found that the way he melted around her when she treated Owen like her own to be absolutely SWOON-WORTHY!
Felicity was a tough FMC. I loved her sweet personality but also enjoyed how she stood up for herself and never let Sutton push her around. While I enjoyed the romance and tension between her and Sutton, the bond she shared with Owen was magical and Willow truly outdid herself with the way the two of the grew closer throughout the book! Felicity fit right in with all the Landmarks and their significant others which allowed the melding of the two families wonderfullyโฆI cannot wait to see her siblings get their HEAs in the future.
Felicity and Sutton were LOADED with chemistry! Willow packed them full of the forbidden yet forced proximity vibes we love in nanny romances. Felicity was phenomenal at pushing just the right buttons on Sutton to get the best responses and I LOVED when he finally exploded and gave into the lust he felt. This book was the most intense heat while and Sutton was scrumptious in his dirty mind, mouth and jokes! Their HEA was the sweetest and well earned for Sutton but also bittersweet since he was the last Landmark! And YESโฆwe finally get the answer to Grinny and Pops Ledger
Rating: 100+, Sutton destroyed me in this book! The love he has for Owen and Felicity eclipses EVERYTHING! What a way to end the Landmark series!
Thank you Willow for sending me this ARC!
