SHANE MILLER SLEEP DIARY:

Went to bed at: Late.
How long it took to fall asleep: Forever. I have insomnia. Duh.
Number of caffeinated beverages you had consumed: Zero. Thanks for advising me to quit!

My stress level is off the charts.
I can’t sleep right on a normal day, and lately my days are filled with the best kind of chaos.
My ex-wife and husband number two are filming in Poland for three months, so I’m turning down movie parts to focus on the most important role of my life—
impossibly charming and somewhat capable young single dad.
My son won’t stop asking questions.
My daughter won’t brush her teeth unless I sing her showtunes.
Our regular nanny quit.
The only person I could trust to hire as a temp nanny is my best friend’s sister.

If Mary Poppins and Bill Murray had a baby it would be Willa.
Fresh out of grad school and beautifully weird.
She hates my movies, and my kids adore her.
I couldn’t sleep last night because she wasn’t here.
Turns out I can’t sleep unless she’s in my house now.
Turns out she’s what’s been missing from my life all along.
If my friend had any idea what I want to do to his gorgeous troublemaker of a sister, he would smother me with a pillow.

The chances of us succeeding as a couple are about as good as that little indie movie that I made being a huge hit.
But it’s a chance I’m going to take.

 

 


Review

4.5 stars!

OMG, what a gorgeous read! Sweet, sexy and laugh-out-loud funny, this trope-packed delight of a read is a movie star, brother’s best friend, single parent, nanny/boss romance that is full of chemistry and fun moments, and I freaking loved it!

Willa fell in love with Shane Miller when she was 12 years old. He was 16 and the star of a tv show that also featured her older brother. They shared one moment that left its mark on the impressionable young pre-teen and ever since then no man ever measured up to her celebrity crush.

Twelve years later and Shane is a divorced dad of 5-year-old twins, and one of the hottest comedy actors around. He’s also suffering from terrible insomnia and trying hard to juggle his career and his kids with his lack of sleep. He needs help… fast. So, when his best friend Nico recommends his younger sister as a nanny, Shane is right on board. He remembers meeting Willa as a kid but they haven’t seen each other in the intervening years, and with one look at her all grown up, he is lust-punched, which makes things kinda awkward now that she’s living under his roof and an instant hit with his kids.

Willa has recently returned from studying perfumery in France and is looking to expand on her passion and build her career. A short-term gig as a nanny seems like a good opportunity to make some money and get herself sorted out, and the fact that she gets to live with the man she’s always obsessed over – who is more gorgeous than ever – is overwhelming in all the ways.

Shane and Willa together are absolutely combustible. Hot and flirty, they banter and tease, and there are steamy stares and all kinds of inappropriate monologuing. I laughed out loud so many times as they flirt, day dream and fantasise about each other, and the sexual tension builds brilliantly. And when they finally decide that they can’t hold off any longer… holy freaking hotness! The sexy time is sizzling, in a reflection of their mad passion for each other, and it sparks a relationship that is sweet and funny with plenty of cheesy, jokey moments – balanced with epic hotness, and I just loved seeing them together!

Adding to the fun are Shane’s two kids, Willa’s older brother and best friend, and her outrageously hilarious grandmother. I love the relationships between the different characters – Shane and Nico are a lot of fun – and I’m looking forward to seeing more of this group with Nico’s story coming up in Charmer.

This book is a giant ball of fun. I laughed, I swooned and though I could have done with a little bit less detail when it comes to Willa and her scents, I fell in mad love with her, and especially Shane. He may be a single dad movie star, but he’s also just a regular guy trying his best, and the way that he and Willa literally throw themselves at each other is so entertaining to watch. They are honest, open and functional with very minimal drama, and this is an easy, angst-free read.

The audiobook is narrated by Mackenzie Cartwright and Teddy Hamilton, and they do a great job with it. They bring these characters to life with humour and charm, and you can’t help but love them.  I highly recommend listening to this one!

A fantastic read, I loved it! 4.5 stars.

About the Author

Before writing steamy romantic comedy novels, Kayley Loring got a BFA in creative writing from a Canadian university and had a fifteen-year career as a screenwriter in Los Angeles (under a different name). She mostly wrote PG-13 family comedies that studios would pay her lots of money for and then never make into movies. In 2017 she decided to move to the Pacific Northwest and write about all the fun stuff that she wasn’t allowed to write about in those PG-13 scripts. Now she’s breathing cleaner air and writing dirtier words. It’s an adjustment she’s happily getting used to.
