The One I Want was such a sweet single dad, nanny romance. This was my first Chelle Sloan book, and I just fell for this football dad and his three perfect kids.

This started out differently than I expected with a single dad/nanny romance since he was married in the opening. Wes is a successful pro football star ready for retirement. He has been married to his college girlfriend for years, but he is completely blindsided when she wants a divorce and leaves him and their kids. He decides to move back to his hometown for a fresh start and support. He meets his parents' curvy and sassy new neighbor, and she builds an immediate connection with his 3 kids. He realizes he needs more help with the kids during his last season of football and asks her to be the nanny. 

Wes and Betsy have great banter, and you could feel their chemistry, but it was not the best timing. Wes just got divorced, and now she was working for him. Of course, they were not able to deny their connection for long. I absolutely loved how Chelle Sloan showed their relationship after they got together. The 3rd act conflict was realistic and needed for the issues Wes had from his horrible ex-wife.

Chris Chambers and Stephanie Rose did a great job bringing the amazing banter, chemistry, and doing the kids' voices. I loved how the kids were represented by the narrators. I flew through this book in one sitting and would highly recommend it.
