This book was so much fun😍 Bram and Maddie pulled me in from the very first chaotic parking-lot encounter, and the chemistry between them only gets hotter (and messier) from there. I loved Maddie from page one—she’s feisty, funny, and absolutely determined to reinvent herself.

Bram…Bram…Bram… the quiet, exhausted, ridiculously handsome single dad who you just know has a whole lot simmering under the surface. Spoiler: he does.👅

Once Maddie becomes the nanny—sorry childcare provider 😬—for Bram’s girls, I was completely hooked. His daughters—two wild little twins (Letty & Berry) and a teenager (Fern) who has seen everything—bring so much heart and humor to the story. The Andromeda Club adds to the chaos in the best way. It really feels like stepping into a whole world where people are messy, supportive, loud, and hilarious.

The tension between Bram and Maddie is perfection. Every argument feels like foreplay, every rule they “set” is begging to be broken, and their moments together… whew. Let’s just say class is very much in session.

If you love single-dad romances, nanny/boss tension, or just a really good steamy rom-com with tons of heart, this is one of those books that keeps you smiling (and blushing) the whole way through.

I had an absolute blast with this one. Cannot wait to listen to this one🤩

What if…Sierra wrote a book that has a beautifully messy love story and some of the best imagery (seriously you guys—I was right there in the lavender fields with them. I could picture the gray skies in Ireland). Saint takes you on a journey of Aiden Bell finding his way through darkness and filling his life with love and light.

I always feel a bit smarter when I read one of Sierra’s books. Her writing is flawless and opens our minds & hearts to learn new things. She has educated us on the monastic in the most fascinating way.

I seriously got frissons with the Father Jordan scene…you’ll know when you read it💕

What if…the church was more accepting…

Fave quotes:
I lift my eyes to the hills.—-🥲

“I’d rather have you for three weeks in Europe than spend the rest of my life wishing I’d kissed you one last time,” he whispers.—-I love that Elijah & Aiden are able to work their way back to each other.

‘Sometimes our deepest happinesses start with regret.’
