Tallulah is smart, vivacious, and studying to be a marine biologist. She\u2019s also twenty-six and broke. So when Burgess, a battle-scarred hockey veteran and newly single dad, offers her a job as his live-in nanny, she jumps at the opportunity to get paid while living in a super fancy neighborhood and being around Lissa, his cool but introverted tween. Her tween charge isn\u2019t the only one who could use some help fitting in, though. According to\u2026well, everyone except Burgess, he needs to get back on the dating scene, and adventurous Tallulah is just the girl to show him how. But as boundaries are slowly crossed and Burgess finds himself pulled between his daughter, who wants her parents back together, and his insane chemistry with Tallulah, a huge rift is formed, and Tallulah does the \u201cright\u201d thing, breaks her own heart and walks away. Though Burgess knows it\u2019s for the best, he\u2019s too jaded, with too much baggage, a chance meeting, and a new push from his daughter, forces him to put everything on the line and fight to prove he learned his lessons well and is worthy of a happily ever after with Tallulah.<\/p>\n

Hockey romance is my sweet spot\u2026 single dads are my kryptonite\u2026 and Tessa Bailey men are my Holy Grail. It had some serious elements, so many emotions, and such a positive story. Burgess was such a protective, sexy hero. I loved him from the start. He had the grumpy outer-shell, but was such a sweet marshmallow underneath. I loved how everyone was weirded out by him smiling. Tallulah was a little pricklier (for good reason) and I felt all the feels whenever she got protective of Burgess. Those scenes made me melt. Together they were fire. I think the stuff with his ex-wife and daughter was maybe a little underdeveloped\/pushed aside, but otherwise this was a perfectly enjoyable book and will definitely give you your Bailey fix<\/p>\n

4.5 star rating on this one for me. This was quirky, fun, sweet, hot, and will give you all the feels. Tessa can write wonderful mix of big feels, banter, lovable characters with a dash of angst. I can\u2019t wait for the next book! Already intrigued by this couple. Recommended!<\/p>\n
