Christian was expecting a busy summer, getting ready for his tenure review and finishing his current article. Then his ex-wife calls and tells him he I’d going to have their son for the summer. His best friend recommended he gets a nanny and he has the perfect one, his younger sister Holly. Holly is going into her Masters program on child development in the fall so she could use all the money she can get. What they don’t expect is for them to have instant chemistry.
This is an exceptionally well written contemporary romance with some heat added. The characters are extremely well cratered with strong personalities, flaws, intelligence and are personable as well. They are what make this romance work as they go through an emotional rollercoaster overcoming their internal struggles and fears and external barriers to fight for love and happiness. The narrative is critical to the story as it not only sets the scenes but provides in sight into what the characters are thinking and experiencing. The heated, steamy scenes add to the storyline rather than detract from it. I enjoyed this romance and hope you do too.

Sometimes discovering the truth can leave you more hopeless than believing the lies. That is what it seemed like for Hollie, who always lusted after her brother’s best friend. Hollie has now finished college and plans to get her Master’s degree, but she needs to get a job. Since Christian is divorced and needed a babysitter to watch his son, Richie, while working on his tenure review and his ex-wife is out of the country, Hollie’s brother, Dex, proposed that Christian hire Hollie as a nanny. Many words to describe Christian—swoon-worthy, handsome, sexy, protective and strong, loyal and romantic, caring, great father, and great personality… you get the picture. In this ultimate taboo of older man/younger woman (ten years her senior) forbidden love story, this was a beautiful story that was so well done that it held my attention and was entertaining. Although sordid but once you become a part of their lives, the unpleasantness falls away and the story succeeds so movingly. In fact, the altruism and innocence embedded in the characterization is the most charming element. Annie J. Rose presents one of the most unseemly “potential love” stories, and slowly takes you through so many heart wrenching emotions. Will their love survive the forbidden relationship because Hollie is off limits? Will her brother, Dex find out—will the friendship be destroyed? The chemistry and passion that Hollie and Christian have for each other is explosive, and the sex is off-the-chart hot! The storyline is fluid, and it will pique your interest.
A new author for me – Yay!
It was a fun read. Had a little different touch that I appreciated. Hollie and Christian had some real chemistry, even if I thought that they both worried a little too much sometimes.
The story had a good flow and the characters were well described.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Not only is it a steamy situation when the professor, Christian has an instant attraction to his new nanny, Hollie, but, it’s doubled when she is also his best friend’s younger sister. This story follows the typical pattern of these two people who are definitely into each other, trying to avoid the sexual tension and attraction to maintain a professional relationship – that never works though and bam the no longer controlled sparks fly.
I found the story and characters to be completely relatable and liked them all. The only thing that bothered me was how much of the story portrayed Christian and Hollie’s inner thoughts. They are constantly droning on over the relationship and the pitfalls, drawbacks and impossibilities to the point where some parts of the book become monotonous. Overall, I really liked the story and the little family Christian, Hollie and little Richie make.

My first Annie J Rose novel and it will not be my last!
Hollie and Christian had awesome chemistry. The little girl sister of Christian’s best friend is all grown up and hits all the right nerves on Christian.
This is a short and very entertaining read!

His best friend recommends his sister, Hollie. She is saving money for graduate school. The romance blossoms between the two of them. They have to decide if the romance is long term or just for the summer. The characters have amazing chemistry. The story flows smoothly. The author does a nice job of wrapping up the story.

She’s only forbidden if she’s locked away. Instant attraction between two people that shouldn’t be together. They share the love of a child. Richie was attached to her from day one. Her brother liked him enough to not punch him in the face after he found out. After all was said and done, they were meant to be a family.

Wow, she’s not a kid anymore, hubba bubba, nice boss! Christian is a professor, single dad of Richie. Dex, bf. Nina, similarly career driven ex wife needs Christian to watch Richie for the summer. Christian waiing on his tenure review in the fall.Dex suggested his younger sister, Hollie who is working on her Master’s in Child Psychology. When Chris finally met Hollie for the first time, his thoughts were not thinking of her as Dex’s little sister. Meeting for the new first time, Hollie realized that Chris had grown into his body of promise. They each felt an instant attraction to each other bur decided their relationship to Dex was more important than any personal gratification. Can Hollie and Chris keep it professional? Will Ritchie be the glue that gets them closer? Will Chris complete his book? Will Hollie be prepared for grad school? What happens at the end of summer? Nice story. Great characters. Well done! I received an ARC from Booksprout for a review!
This was a fantastic book! I lost sleep reading this book! Christian and Hollie were great characters. Christian is told by his ex-wife that he has to keep their young son over the summer because she is going out of the country. Christian is a professor and he has alot to prepare for during the summer for teaching the curriculum in the fall. Christian’s best friend, Dex, talks him into hiring his younger sister, Hollie as a live-in nanny. She is highly qualified starting a master’s degree in child psychology in the fall. Everything starts off great but when they meet there are sparks. They soon have sex and everything is awkward. They can’t seem to stay away from each other having sex several more times vowing each time it will be the last. But they both know it won’t work because after the summer they will lead different lives, right?
Hollie ends up working for her brother’s best friend and her crush. Christian is a professor and is trying to finish his paper and needs help with his son over the summer. As Hollie and Christian begin spending time together, sparks fly but will obstacles end their relationship before it starts? Fast-paced read with plenty of drama and oh so sweet. I really liked it.
When Christian is faced with the entire summer of having his son and his very important tenure due, it comes as a big relief that his best friend offers his sister to become his son’s nanny. Perfect, he can get his work done without interruption and spend time with his son. When she arrives Christian realizes how distracted he is about to become.
Her brother tells her about a summer job that will help her out saving some money for her time at Graduate school. Hollie says yes, remembering her brother’s best friend and the situation he went through, now she will be a nanny to his son. Once he answers that door, she just knows she is going to have a summer she will never forget.
There is instant sparks between these two. Instead of getting his work done, Christian is spending time with this son and Hollie, leading their feelings to grow. Acting on their temptation begins after Hollie comes home a bit tipsy, it is awesome at the time, but guilty feelings weigh on them, the guilt is not from what happened, rather who will be hurt.
It just takes that one moment in the kitchen when temptation wins again and….BUSTED. The one thing that both try hard to not let happen, happens. Her brother walks in on them and in anger says what he feels about it and storms out. Her brother’s words hurt but nowhere as bad as the lack of any response from Christian except walking away and avoiding her afterwards.
Silence can be golden, but it can also plant thoughts in people’s heads on how to fix what has been wronged. A surprise trip and the understanding of temptations and feelings will be acted on freely has hope growing again. This is where they both decide in their hearts what is really growing. It also leads to clearing the slate with her brother, and in that freedom allowing their true feelings to be shared and their happy ending to show up.
This is a forbidden romance of sorts! Hollie is lusting after her brother’s best friend who has hired her to be his nanny for the summer. Christian is a dorky but sexy professor who is determined to make tenure. He thinks having Hollie for the summer will let him be in the mindset of finishing his paper, until he can’t resist her pull. This has the typical drama with her brother, but it’s written so well you can’t help but love their story!
I thought this story was an sweet read. I thought Christian and Billie were wonderful characters. This story was well written. It had a good storyline.

I found this book delightfully entertaining. Christian and Hollie have known each other for years but to him she was just his best friend’s little sister. Christian hadn’t seen Hollie since his college graduation. When his best friend Dex suggests hiring Hollie as his son’s nanny for the summer, Christian thought it was a good idea. Until he saw her. He knew he was in trouble because Hollie wasn’t a little girl any more. Hollie had the same thoughts. Because he was her brother’s best friend he was off limits. They spend so much time worrying about what other people will think and trying to curb their attraction to each other they almost miss out. I found several scenes in the book made me chuckle. Life is too short to worry about what others think so enjoy what life brings you like Christian and Hollie.

This is a well written book with strong characters in Christian and Hollie. Her brother is his best friend and recommends her for a nanny for the summer. They haven’t seen each other in years and neither can believe the changes in the other. They more they’re together the stronger their connection and chemistry is. Will it continue when summers over or will they part? The story moves quickly and smoothly and I enjoyed reading.
