Yazmine finds herself needing to rebuild her life after her husband leaves her with nothing. Then she meets mysterious woman who offers her a nanny job for her two grandchildren. Yazmine is skeptical but she accepts and tries to find some normalcy in her new life. The surprise? Finding out that the children's father is a famous rapper named Hero, suspicious and antisocial, and not happy that care for his children was farmed out to a stranger.

I love the way Hero loved his kids. You could tell he was a good father. I did like the connection he had with Yazmine when it all was said and done and I love the mental health rep. His mom was a piece of work and that plot point was entertaining and pulled you in. I will say I would have enjoyed more of the softer side of Hero. He seemed so unemotional in the book, even during his depressive episodes. The subplot with his kids mom was a bit much and I thought the ending dragged. I understood Yazmine being hurt, and even unforgiving, but her introspection constantly revisiting Hero's betrayal like we didn't know what happened was grating. I found myself wondering when she was going to stop bringing it up. It was still good for what it was.
