This is the first book that I have read by Samantha Chase. It is book 4 in the Donovan series but can be read as a stand-alone. What a great book! I will be going back to read the rest of them!
Jamie Donovan works at the family pub with hopes of one day taking over. He also has a reputation for being a flirty, charming, ladies man who one day finds a baby on his porch!
Not knowing what to do Jamie called his siblings to help with this situation. As great as they were, they had their own lives and couldn't help take care of the baby. His sister called a family friend, Fallon, to offer her a nanny position. Fallon is a serious, career oriented person who recently moved back home after losing her job.. Fallon and Jamie don’t get along. They have always been rivals and oftentimes their fighting turned ugly. Unfortunately, neither really had a choice - he didn’t have anyone else to watch the baby and she needed the money/time to figure out what she was going to do next.
Fallon quickly fell in love with baby Asher. The relationship between her and Jamie starts to change too. What was once a rivalry is turning into something more - an adorable little family. Until the baby’s mom comes back into the picture Jamie & Fallon have different ideas of how the custody should be shared which causes trouble in their relationship. Thankfully Jamie figures out what he needs to do to make it right again.
I loved the chemistry between Jamie & Fallon. I loved the transformation that Jamie made into fatherhood & long term boyfriend/fiancé. I love the family dynamics in this book - the side characters are all great too! It was nice to see a book to have a character who seeks the help that they need. It is so refreshing to see the message of it being “ok to not be ok”. I am truly glad that Asher’s mom got the help that she needed. I definitely agreed with Fallon on this aspect of the book!
This was a fast, fun read that I didn’t want to end!
