when i read the first book in the series, fangirl down, i was absolutely champing at the bit for this book. a cute and spicy fmc and a hot grumpy single dad hockey player? say less.
our girl is in need of a job during her last year of grad school and our grumpy gus is in need of a live in nanny for his daughter. watching tallulah blossom into an adventurer while dragging daddy savage along was such an enjoyable trip.
and then there was this lil snippet: "she'd walked right into that sticky web of knowledge..." i'm sorry but i stopped reading and rocking in my chair and stared at the sky thinking about this for minutes. i sent it to everyone i know. i'm different now.
we've got forced proximity, single dad, age gap, and hockey. i am always all in for basically all of these.

i always love a book with a man obsessed my only complaint is that i want these books to be longer. i feel like i miss a lot but it's just that the book is too short for me lol
