My review:
Dylan (33) & Marlow (23) don’t get off on the right foot when her dog, Waffles, trespasses in his backyard. Flash forward one year later and Marlow becomes 6 year old Lola’s nanny.
Book boyfriend alert! Dylan is most definitely a guy youād want around when youāre sick as heās a wonderful caretaker. He cooks and cleans, and even bakes muffins before 6am after he’s had his workout. He works a bit too much, but he’s such a devoted dad, and Lola is absolutely adorable and so well behaved.
Marlow is an artist and a bright spot of sunshine. Her relationship with Lola was wonderful. She has a strained relationship with her parents, but has found a great support system with Dylan’s family, which was really nice to see.
Overall, I had a really great time reading this one. We’ve got the set up for the next book that seems like it’ll be a lot of fun.
Series notes:
This series follows siblings, so although not absolutely necessary I think you should read If You Give a Grump a Holiday Wishlist first because not only is it delightful, but you’ll get to meet the whole clan because they’re pretty involved as a tight knit family.

Book blurb:
I, Marlow Taylor, need to stop fantasizing about the hot, single dad next door.
Should I have agreed to nanny his cute six year old who loves my dog Waffles? Absolutely not.
But her dad seems to think he can do everything himself. ( no one can)
3 reasons why I absolutely cannot fall for Dylan
1. Heās grumpy and doesnāt seem to like me very much
2.He lives next door ā literally next door to my perfect pink house
3. There are no secrets in a small town
Iām an optimistic artist, never living in one place for too long.
Heās a cynical billionaire, trying to raise his kid on his own like a ānormalā person.
Since Iām not going to fall for Dylan Stafford, it shouldnāt matter that he shovels my driveway or looks at me like he could devour me.
One kiss later ā I, Marlow Taylor, am completely screwed.
