I have heard so much mixed reviews going into this book, but I really enjoyed this!! This book was such a spicy, fast paced rom-com that had a very unique premise.

The Nanny follows our main characters Cassie and Aiden. Cassie is a college student who recently got laid off and is looking for a job before she ends up on her best friend's couch, her neighbor in her 70s. Cassie previously had an OnlyFans account, but shut it down and is hoping she can find employment somewhere else. She finds a job listing for a live in nanny, and finds out that the employer is Aiden, a single dad and chef with a nine year old at home. Cassie moves in with Aiden, and his adorable daughter Sophie, but quickly discovers that Aiden was one of her OnlyFans subs.. but he doesn't remember her. 

This was such a cute and sweet book, I really enjoyed the romance. Keep in mind this is very spicy and the book is very much focused on their relationship. There is definitely a lot of miscommunication, so that may turn off some people from the book. For me, I'm honestly not a big hater of the trope for the most part, so It's something I didn't notice as I read.

I loved Sophie as a side character, she was so cute! Cassie's 70 year old friend didn't seem to reflect her age though, just her dialogue in general seemed extremely young and was the biggest thing that stuck out to me. The writing wasn't exactly the most amazing thing ever, but it delivers on what it says it will.
