A hot and sweet forbidden romance from #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Lauren Blakely…
Let me count the ways why falling into forbidden love is not my wisest move…
1. She works with me every single day.
Did I mention she’s gorgeous, sweet, kind and smart?
2. She works in my home.
Playing with my five-year-old daughter. Teaching my little girl. Cooking for my princess. Which means…
3. She’s … Cooking for my princess. Which means…
3. She’s the nanny.
And that makes her completely off-limits…But it doesn’t stop me from wanting her. All of her.
*****
The other nannies in this city don’t call him The Sexy One for nothing. My boss, the amazingly wonderful single father to the girl I take care of every day is ridiculously hot, like movie star levels with those arms, and those eyes, and that body. Not to mention, the way he dotes on his little girl melts me all over. But what really makes my knees weak are the times when his gaze lingers on me. In secret. When no one else is around.
I can’t risk my job for a chance at something more…can I? But I don’t know how to resist him much longer either…
With all the heat, heart and humor readers have come to expect, this newest Lauren Blakely standalone will make you laugh, swoon and feel like you’re falling in love!

Love all Lauren Blakey books.
Cute read.
The author has a way, that makes you feel like you are there, looking through window, seeing the story unfold. I love her books, and this one did not disappoint!
Anything from this author is a hit for me!
I had high hopes for this book. I think I was expecting something a little more madcap and more of an overwhelmed hero.
Basic plot: The h is nanny to the H’s very cute 4-5 year old daughter. The h is also working on her linguistics career as well. The two main characters become more and more aware of a growing attraction and somewhat reluctantly act upon it. The end.
Basically, what you have is two nice people falling in love, up front about it, but with the manufactured angst that she works for him as the nanny. She is not just a nanny so there is little to no social inequality. No question of infidelity or the h being the other woman as his wife not only left him but gave the H custody of their daughter. The ex-wife makes a couple of appearances and is nicely rude and nasty so we get some drama there, but then she’s gone.
It was a good read, and more of a novella. A 2.5 for me.
Entertaining romance, love wins.
Very good book, sexy, steamy and cute
Great read. Loved it.
A nice twist on the traditional Nanny-Single Dad romance with steamy sex and plenty of humor. The characters are well developed and likable as hell.
love how in love Abby and Simon are…they just go for it…not too much drama…sweet…fun…cute characters
Hot, sweet and sexy. The story kept me engaged from beginning to end. So Good.
So…so…HOT!
Single dad. Nanny, and watching a wild animal be born…what’a not to love? Oh, an ex that is a bitch.
4.5 Sexy Simon Stars!
I loved this latest fun, sweet and sexy story by Lauren Blakely! She is brilliant at creating great characters, fun banter, scorching hot sex scenes, with heartwarming story lines. Simon is a wonderful, single father to his sweet and adventuresome little girl, Hayden. He hired Abby to be their nanny and help out when he needed to work. Abby is smart, loving, open and honest. Just the opposite of his pretentious, cheating ex-wife. Simon loves how great Abby is with Hayden, and it only makes him want her more. But he needs Abby, and is afraid to become a cliche. Abby not only adores Hayden, she adores her sexy, sharp-dressed boss as well. But Abby needs this job so what is a girl to do when just a smile from Simon melts her into a puddle of lust? Simon and Abby have an easy rapport and the more time they spend together the more their attraction grows. But can they act on those feelings and risk hurting Hayden as well as their own hearts? I love their flirty, witty banter, their passion is hot and their chemistry is explosive. This was a fast read and I felt like it was rushed a little at the end. I loved Simon, Abby, and Hayden and I was definitely not ready for it to be over, I just wanted more of all of them. We did get more of Harper and Nick which was fun catching up with them. We also found out more about Simon’s friend, Tyler Nichols, whose story sounds very intriguing. I just can’t get enough of Ms. Blakely’s work so I am definitely looking forward to what she releases next.
5 stars
I purchased The Sexy One: A One Love Romance book 1 by Lauren Blakely and this review was given freely.
Single dad Simon and his nanny the linguist Abby have a progressively steamy relationship as their businesses grow and their family bonds strengthen. Abby and her friends are sweet, slightly quirky,down to earth and humorous. Realistic characters, steamy scenes, and sweet loving family scenes make this a well balanced and enjoyable read.
