JAKOB:
I'm a professional hockey player and a single dad with two rambunctious
five-year-olds. My boys have driven away every nanny that's stepped foot in our
house--except one--the one I don't want to keep, but they do. Tatted and
pierced Gardenia Bliss is everything I dislike in a nanny and woman. She's a
mouthy whirlwind, an obsessive recycler, a buyer of organic only food, and a
lover of loud music. She's disrupted my household and destroyed my comfortable
routine with her spontaneity. I want her gone, but I also want her naked, which
is all kinds of messed up.
My plans to send her packing are thwarted by a road trip and no other options
available. By the time I return, she's completely entrenched herself in my
house, my life, and my dirty thoughts. She has to go, but I haven't found a way
to extract the boys from her clutches. They adore her.
Then my meddling, matchmaking mom shows up for the holidays and enlists
Gardenia to help her find the perfect woman for me. The two of them are forces
of nature I'm powerless to combat. They'll never know the truth--I don't want
those other women. I want Gardenia, but I can't have her. She's all wrong for
my boys and me, but tell that to my stupid heart.
Loved the characters in this book. Jakob is trying
to keep from making the same mistakes he’s made in the past and protect his
boys so he is fighting the attraction for Gardenia throughout this book. He
finally caves and allows himself to fall. The getting to accepting was an
amazing read and I loved the whole thing. Still Love Jakob’s mom and her
meddling. Can’t wait for the rest of the books.
