Sleeping with the staff wasn't part of the plan. Sensible, capable, and ruthlessly efficient, Hannah Kabbah is the perfect nanny… until a colossal mistake destroys her career and shatters her reputation. These days, no-one in town will hire her-except Nathaniel Davis, a brooding widower with a smile like sin and two kids he can't handle. Prim and proper Hannah is supposed to make Nate's life easier, but the more time he spends around his live-in nanny, the more she makes things… hard. He can't take advantage of her vulnerable position, but he can't deny the truth, either: with every look, every smile, every midnight meeting, Nate's untouchable employee is stealing his heart. The trouble is, she doesn't want to keep it. Forbidden love isn't high on Hannah's to-do list, and trust isn't one of her strengths. When dark secrets threaten to destroy their bond, Nate's forced to start playing dirty. Because this reformed bad boy will break every rule to finally claim his woman. Please be aware: this book contains discussions of depression and anxiety that could potentially trigger certain audiences. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Let's get this out in the open: I feel really raw in the past few days. So heroes like Nate--perfect, sweet heroes who ask consent and struggle with a perceived power dynamic issue are what I need to soothe the burn. I liked the set up quite a lot. The Hades-looking Nate returning to town after being an emo-type outcast. He's a dad. And, honestly, this is where my enjoyment of the set up would normally falter: Hannah becomes the nanny. This is a plot point I really struggle with, but Talia Hibbert executes it well with a powerful heroine and a shared background.
But here's where some things fall apart for me. Most of the conflict is internal. that isn't always an issue, but Nate is so damn perfect it made his conflict and struggle a bit ugh. And Hannah struggles to be detached, yet in the end felt much more accessible. My major problem is the heroes. So damn perfect with these really imperfect and struggling women. The don't come across as real, even in their speeches, words, lack of fumbling. They almost don't even make mistakes. If they make mistakes, they offer this perfect apology. The two other heroes set up in this series are even perfect (Evan and Zach), automatically assuming Nate is completely in the wrong and has abused the situation. Which is perfect. Even more perfect given one is Nate's brother.
So you see, what development do these characters and does the relationship have other than falling headlong into love ?
I do believe Talia Hibbert is talented and fresh author-my reviews of the earlier books in this series make no secret of that. The wit is wonderful, the heroines are unapologetic. In fact, I think she took more time to explore intimacy in this one that I have felt were lacking a bit in her other two in a sense. This didn't feel as rushed--until it did. What I need to give her five stars is to see her trust her wonderful characters and writing enough to allow them to make mistakes and have flaw and realize we'll love them more for it. It's weird to say in so many many ways I think this exceeded A Girl Like Her, but I can't even come close to rating it the same. (
