 “He's a challenge and look at me, I love a challenge.”
Synopsis
Cade Easton, grumpy single-dad, is struggling to find a nanny for his adorable kid Luke. His future sister-in-law Summer has a solution - her best friend Willa is in need of a summer job while the bar she manages is being renovated.

“Willa might be a bit of a psycho - after all, she did just push a child into the pool - but the more time I spend with her, the more I feel like she's my psycho.”
Tropes and Themes

  • Single-parent
  • Age gap
  • Sunshine/Grumpy
  • Small Town
  • Cowboy/rancher
  • Accidental pregnancy

“If Willa is the playground, I want to play.”


My Thoughts

  • Brilliant meet cute!
  • Cade and Willa have great banter and sexual chemistry
  • A+ smut scenes, possibly my favourite BJ scene ever.
  • I loved how sassy and petty Willa can be, while also fiercely loving and loyal. Can't blame Cade for falling for her.
  • Marked down a star due to the surprise pregnancy - it's a trope that really spoils my enjoyment currently, although I did enjoy Harvey's reaction to it. Luckily this is right at the end though so I didn't have to read much of it. 

“If I weren't so irritated by how attracted I am to her, I'd be cheering her on.”
