Whisper Sweet Nothings - Rosewood River #6 - by Laura Pavlov (Winnie and Archer)

ABOUT THE BOOK Winnie Smith is the perfect nanny. She’s reliable, warm, and my daughter adores her. She cooks like a pro, styles pigtails like a fairy godmother, and knows her way around a car engine better than most mechanics. She’s made life easier. The house feels full again. And maybe… so do I. But living under the same roof has its challenges. Like catching her in the kitchen after midnight… barefoot, in tiny sleep shorts, eating ice cream straight from the tub. Don’t even get me started on the way that her lips wrapped around that spoon. I digress. It shouldn’t mean anything. She’s a decade younger. I’m her boss. She’s off-limits. And yet, it’s all I can think about. I was just looking for a nanny—not nightly cold showers and definitely not feelings. But the more we blur the lines, the harder it is to keep pretending. We say it’s temporary. No strings. Just one harmless arrangement. But what if she’s not just what my daughter needs… What if she’s exactly what I’ve been missing too?

This is Archer, Winnie and Melody's story. Its a nanny romance with an age gap and found family. It was sweet, hot and sexy and a lot of fun. I really loved how Archie's family likes to harass him but in the very best way. 

Melody is five and has the worst teacher ever. I loved how Winnie stands up for her with the teacher. Fun Fridays were well ....FUN! I really liked how present a dad Archer was with Melody. 

The age gap was really not this huge deal, but Archer really made it one. First because Winnie is a divorced woman. On the other hand, she had only kissed her ex before Archer so in a way she was divorced but innocent. Second, she is 24/25 in this story and is a college grad, is an author and lastly is divorced. For me the bigger deal was that she lived in his house, his daughter was very attached, and she got paid a salary by him. That should have been the primary objection rather than the age gap. 

I loved how the author had Archer and Winnie meet for the job interview. It definitely was a meet cute original. All in all I loved the story a lot. I laughed a lot at Archer's previous sex partner because she was just too much. 

Its a fun and cute story about a single dad, his daughter and the woman that changes everything for both of them.

People We Avoid - Don't Date Him #2 By Lani Lynne Vale (Birdee and Creed)

BLURB

All Birdee Calvert wanted was to be normal.

She wanted the parents who didn’t divorce when she was a kid and make her life a living nightmare. She wanted the sisters who actually liked her. She wanted to live in a town where everyone loved her and didn’t have a single bad thing to say about her.

That was not the life Birdee was given.

She had the exact opposite life. The kind of life where she slunk through the grocery store with a hoodie on so no one would recognize her. The kind of life where men like Creed Daugherty didn’t give her a second look.

After years of abuse and heartache, she built walls. Big, huge, thick ones that no one could ever breach. If she didn’t put forth the effort to get to know someone, she couldn’t be hurt.

At least, that was the theory.

She never counted on Creed Daugherty hitting her with his truck. Then, deciding that once he entered her life, he would never leave it.

Though Birdee should’ve known that Creed was too good to be true.

All it takes is one mistake on her part, and Creed freezes her out. Then forces the rest of the town to make it almost impossible for her to live in Sawtooth, Montana, anymore.

Birdee only thought it couldn’t get worse.

But Creed makes sure to show her that it can and will.

The thing about rock bottom?

Once you’re there, you have nothing else to lose.

And Creed Daugherty just made himself enemy number one.

I received a complimentary early release e-book prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I loved this book. Its a fun story and is pretty light reading. Its the second book in the series and I did not read the previous book. At times I was lost but the author does a great job of catching you up with what you might have missed and the relationship to the characters. 

One thing to note is that Cody is a girl. For a majority of the book I thought she was a he. But she is a pretty minor character for a majority of the book so its not an issue til later.

This story features Birdee who has had a bad rap in the last book. As we get to know her, she is absolutely awesome. A huge sweetheart but also one who is overlooked a lot. She also has a terrible family. But so does Creed. In a way it bonds these two as they get to know each other. 

Creed is a jerk to Birdee a lot. Even before he pulls his major fit in this book, I thought he was a jerk. I really didn't see much romance before they get together. But once he makes a mess of things, I liked how he was after that. Thats when he won my heart. 

A lot happens in this story and it's what made it a really fun book. It also introduces some really terrific new female characters, and I am excited to see what happens next.
