5⭐️/ 4🌶️

Down on her luck with no job, having trouble paying her bills, Cassie Evans needed to find a new job and stat! I mean she could have rebooted her OnlyFans account, but Cassie put that behind her as she was done with that. As luck would have it, she found the perfect job that would give her flexibility with her graduate school studies, and a place to live since that job would be as a live-in nanny for Aiden Reid’s daughter. Aiden Reid was a single dad juggling the responsibility of raising his daughter, Sophie and being executive chef at a well known restaurant. Finding Cassie’s resume and her qualifications was the perfect fit for being Sophie’s nanny, and truthfully Aiden needed all the help he could get. This story had all the great tropes and more you could want from, single dad, nanny/ boss dynamic, forced proximity (Cassie living in Aiden’s home), lighthearted humor, lovable characters, and my goodness spice galore! Lana Ferguson’s debut novel was a breathe of fresh air and immediately a shot of serotonin to brighten my day!

Cassie use to do OnlyFans, but due to some unknown reasons she deactivated her account, and left it all behind her. Now, with her new job of being a live-in nanny to Aiden’s daughter, Cassie was starting a new chapter in her life. Little did Cassie know that her past would come up in the most unexpected ways. Even before reading this book, the idea of Cassie being a former OnlyFans creator to then becoming a nanny was so interesting to me, especially with the fact that Aiden (her boss) use to be her top subscriber! OMG! I mean, you can’t tell me that the premise of this book doesn’t leave you a little (more like A LOT) curious to see how all that would unfold. As Cassie started getting into the routine of being a nanny to Sophie, she was juggling the responsibilities of school as well, but also fighting off the attraction she had towards Aiden. Aiden was off limits to her, but she couldn’t deny that she felt something towards the hard working single dad. The moment when Cassie found out that Aiden was her mysterious top subscriber had her in a tailspin because, THIS WAS THE MAN WHO REGULARLY WATCHED HER ONLINE GIVING HIM PRIVATE SHOWS!!! OMG OMG OMG! 

Among Cassie assuming her new role as a nanny, I really loved the relationship she formed with Sophie. Sophie was initially hesitant and wary of Cassie, but through Cassie’s kind ways, she was able to get Sophie to open out and find comfort in someone. Sophie seemed like a great kid, and the way she was feeling with her dad always working, she felt like she didn’t have any one to open up to, but thankfully with Cassie, she found a friend in her which was really heart warming to see. Even early on in the story, it was evident that Cassie cared a lot about Sophie, as well as Aiden, and their overall wellbeing. Cassie might have taken on the job of being a nanny as a way of rescuing herself from financial burdens, but she found herself growing close to both Sophie and Aiden. 

Aiden was such an amazing and caring person especially when it came to caring for Sophie. I’ve come to the conclusion that I throughly love single dad books, and Aiden is among the top of those that I’ve read about that I really REALLY LOVED! Plus Aiden is officially at the top of my book boyfriend list because, THAT MAN CAN GET IT! WOO! Also he was such a sweetheart. Aiden struggled trying to maintain an equal balance between his career as a chef, and being there for Sophie, but he gave it his all no matter what. At times, Aiden would feel like he wasn’t doing enough of a good job when it came to Sophie, but hearing from Cassie’s perspective, he was able to see that just how much Sophie truly adored her dad, and all that he did for her. I can only imagine how tough it is to single parent, in top of working full time, but Aiden was always thinking of Sophie, and wanting to ensure she had a stable home, and lots of love. 

My goodness, the cute cover strikes again! Don’t be deceived by this seemingly adorable book cover because, the spice in this book had me feeling HOT! Aiden was all sweet, and sometimes shy especially around Cassie, but the dirty mouth that man had OMG! SO SEXY! Aiden kinda lived up to the whole, it’s always the quiet ones haha Jk but for real Aiden was all about being vocal with Cassie during their sexy times. Not to mention the praises he would give Cassie to the beloved saying… “good girl”! YASSSSS! Something about the way when Aiden and Cassie got intimate just flip the downright dirty switch in Aiden because, even he was like caught off guard by the dirty stuff he was telling Cassie, but also, he was obsessed with her so he was just enjoying the whole thing! The spice just kept getting better and steamier throughout the rest of the chapters were I was like, “alright time to buckle up for more spicy scenes woo!” Aiden and Cassie’s chemistry was steamy, passionate, and had an underlying depth of how much they truly cared for one another. The sex positivity in this book was chef’s kiss! I love the way that Lana wrote this story and she wrote Cassie and Aiden’s sex scenes were not only super hot, but also illustrating the raw, beautiful desire between them. Lana, girl you did such an amazing job creating these spicy scenes but also embedding the sweetness and lightheartedness between Cassie and Aiden! 

WOW! I’M SMILING! FEELING FANTASTIC! AND ON TOP OF THE WORLD! WOO! Lana, you knocked this book out of the park! I’m seriously so happy that I read this book! This was a book I randomly picked up, and had heard some people mention in passing, and it was the best decision I ever made! Cassie was a strong character who I absolutely loved! She was sweet, caring, and went above and beyond for Aiden and Sophie! I liked reading about Cassie’s journey in her graduate studies, and seeing her put in the work to achieve her dream of becoming an occupational therapist. Aiden, my goodness, the way that this man had me mesmerized, enthralled, swooning, and downright gasping at both the dirty and sweet things he said, (sigh) top of the book boyfriend list, better yet, Aiden Reid is officially the man of my dreams! Sophie was a sassy and funny kid that added so much more lightheartedness to the story, and I loved her bluntness throughout the book haha. I knew there was going to be spice, but OH MY GOODNESS! PHEW! Chef’s kisses all around! Phenomenal spice! Thank you Lana! I also loved the sec positivity in this book which you could totally see highlighted throughout the book. Lana did a fantastic job of adding a fun twist to a well loved trope of nanny/boss trope, and it was so much fun to read! Another book to add to the list of stories and characters I will never stop thinking about nor will I shut up about. I loved the overall plot, the build up of tension between Cassie and Aiden, as well as duh the freaking hot, spicy, steamy scenes! Cassie and Aiden were so amazing, I loved them both dearly! The ending really came full circle in bringing Aiden and Cassie’s story to an end, and with the epilogue it was just more happiness that made my day brighter. I highly HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!
