After reading the first book in the series, I was nervous to read this but I LOVED this book so much which is why I gave it 4.5 stars. I loved how the FMC communicated with the MMC and the MMC's son. They had such an amazing relationship, and I loved how the MMC's son adored the FMC and always wanted her around. I haven't read the nanny trope much but it is one of my newly loved tropes, and I need more books with this trope. This book was on the longer side but it was sooo worth it, and I ate it up. I highly recommend this book to people who like a slow burn romance, and even if you didn't like book 1 you will love this as this book was sooo much better.

Quotes:
- “To those who see themselves as broken. I hope you find someone who admires your scars for what they are: A sign of your struggle and a testament to your strength.”
- “The one does exist, but not in the way you thought I meant, like some soulmate or something cosmic. To me, the one is someone willing to do everything in their power to be the person you deserve, not because they are fated to love you but because they choose to.”
- “Mi estrella.” 2 My heart bursts at the term of endearment.”
- “Don’t let your fear of the past stop you from the future you want.”
- “One day, I’ll marry this man, and no one will stop me. Not even him.”
- “Kissing him feels so damn right that I fear everyone else will always feel wrong.”
- “I wasn’t solid, but I won’t make that mistake again. I’m going to figure out who I am and what I want in life, so the next time Ellie gives me a chance—and she will—I won’t throw it away. I’ll make sure of it.”
- “Yesterday, Julian called me crazy when I told him I had decided to fly to London after all, but I corrected him and said, “No. I’m in love.”
- “I can’t believe I never noticed her back then, but then again, I’m glad I didn’t because I wasn’t in the place to appreciate someone as special as her. Life brought us together when we needed each other most, and for that, I’ll always be grateful.”
- “I found the brightest star to guide me out of the dark.”
- “It was always you.”
