Book Review: The Nanny - Lana Ferguson

"After losing her job and being on the brink of eviction, Cassie Evans finds herself with two choices: get a new job (and fast) or fire up her long-untouched OnlyFans account. But there are no jobs to be found, and as for OnlyFans. . . . Well, there are reasons she can’t go back. Just when all hope seems lost, an ad for a live-in nanny position seems the solution to all her problems. It’s almost too perfect—until she meets her would-be employer.

Aiden Reid, executive chef and DILF extraordinaire is far from the stuffy single dad Cassie was imagining. She is shocked when he tells her she’s the most qualified applicant he’s met in weeks, practically begging her to take the job. With hands that make her hindbrain howl and eyes that scream sex, the idea of living under the same roof as Aiden feels dangerous, but with no other option, she decides to stay with him and his adorably tenacious daughter, Sophie.

Cassie soon discovers that Aiden is not a stranger at all, but instead someone who is very familiar with her—or at least, her body. She finds herself at a loss for what to do, given that he doesn’t remember her. As their relationship heats to temperatures hotter than any kitchen Aiden has ever worked in, Cassie struggles with telling Aiden the truth, and the more terrifying possibility—losing the best chance at happiness she’s ever had."

Notes - i think the plot of this book is genuinely so good, and i wasn’t expecting to love it as much as i did. I dont lie, the writing style threw me off at first because its such large blocks of text but one you get into the flow of reading, its really smooth. i love the characters so much, and i honestly think this entire thing is very adorable. It’s a spicy book, but it’s done in a way that feels realistic to me. Its unlike anything i’ve read before. i also really love Iris as a character. I love how we see her open up slowly throughout the book. another thing i like is the secrecy plotline and how its played out. It’s not too cliche and it doesnt rely on other tropes to pull it off. I think the relationships are so cute, and the conflict is resolved in such a cute manner that it just makes perfect sense.
