Moving to New York is my dream come true, but the big city is a tough place to navigate for a small-town, southern girl like me. Luckily, fate sent me my very own knight in shining armor.<\/p>\n<p>Only Whitaker Aldrich didn\u2019t ride in on his white steed to save me. He picked me up on his Harley Davidson, wearing a leather jacket and sporting a cocky smirk that doesn\u2019t bode well for my man free diet. He screams one-night stand.<\/p>\n<p>But there\u2019s so much more to him than that bad boy billionaire persona. He&#8217;s thoughtful and kind and his six-year-old son is his entire world.<\/p>\n<p>That twinkle in his brilliant green eyes makes me weak in the knees and I\u2019m terrified that I won\u2019t be able to protect my already bruised heart. I should probably say no when he asks me to be his nanny, right?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, getting involved with Whit would be a huge mistake.<br \/>\nI should definitely say no.

It\u2019s fun, and flirty with great chemistry, a gorgeous love story, and characters that you cannot help but love. A blissfully romantic and laugh-out-loud funny billionaire\/single dad\/nanny romance with a twist. I just adored it!<\/p>\n<p>This book is part of the <i>Cocky Hero Club<\/i> and it\u2019s set in the same world as one of my favourite Vi Keeland \/ Penelope Ward books, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/?p=7675\">Stuck-Up Suit<\/a>. Our hero and heroine are friends with Graham and Soraya respectively, and those original characters feature in this one, so beware some spoilers for their book.<\/p>\n<p>Grace has just moved to New York City with dreams of writing romance novels. She is brave and enthusiastic, and though things haven\u2019t gotten off to the best of starts, she is determined to make her dream a reality, and she\u2019s working to make it happen. But in the meantime, she needs a job so that she has money coming in, and so that she can get her out of her crappy shared apartment.<\/p>\n<p>Whitaker is the single father to an adorable six year old son, and he\u2019s also running his family\u2019s billion-dollar music business. His life is good, and he\u2019s happy with where he is at, with little Andrew as the centre of his world. He\u2019s gorgeous and sweet with a great sense of humour, and of course I fell for him instantly.<\/p>\n<p>Grace and Whitaker have a series of meet-cutes where they keep running into each other in the middle of a city of 8 million people. Is it coincidence? Is it fate? Who knows? But their attraction is immediate and the chemistry is delicious, and when they actually spend time together, I was riding the high of excitement and anticipation watching their banter and flirting.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>I had no fucking chill. None. Whatsoever. My heart was beating out of my chest like a fucking stampede of horses as I pulled Grace through the club and onto the dance floor.<br \/>\n\u2026<br \/>\nA slow song began to play and the crowd around us dispersed to nearby tables and the bar, but I pulled Grace Abernathy closer to me. Because carpe diem, mother fuckers.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Neither of them are looking for a relationship (plus, Whit is concerned that Grace is only 23 to his 31), so they agree to be friends. But things get complicated when, following a hilarious set-up by their friends, Whit ends up hiring Grace as the live-in nanny for his son.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>I smiled at her icy disposition. I\u2019d kill her with kindness. And a nice place to live. A good salary. And my charming ass son, damn it.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>God, this book is fun. Grace and Whit are so funny, and I laughed so many times while in their heads. Put them both together, and they are gold! There are scenes in this book I read multiple times just to experience them all over again \u2013 the laughs, the teasing, the flirting \u2013 it\u2019s all just fantastic. And then add little Andrew to the picture, and it\u2019s the icing on top of the cake. He\u2019s adorable, and the dynamics between the three of them are so entertaining.<\/p>\n<p>The love story is sweet, fun, honest and full of feeling. Though the emotions are fast-developing, the actual romance feels like a slow burn. They take their time with it, treading gently around each other, but they don\u2019t exactly hide it, and when the sexual tension becomes too much, it\u2019s all on. Sexy, emotional and functional, I was swept up in the swoon and I love them together so much!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>I needed to tell her. She was ours now. I had to make sure that she knew it.<br \/>\nI\u2019d tried to keep my distance. I\u2019d tried to do the friends thing. And it wasn\u2019t working. At all. I was done with that shit. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Of course there\u2019s some drama, but it\u2019s minimal and angst-free, and watching them work through it and come out the other side is gorgeous and had me grinning like a fool. The book ends well, and I finished this book feeling all loved-up and super satisfied.<\/p>\n<p>Such a fun read, I highly recommend this one!<\/p>\n<p>5 stars!<\/p>\n<p><i>An Advanced Review Copy was

get her hands on her momma\u2019s books. A dedicated wife and mother with a love of music and makeup, she won\u2019t ever be seen leaving the house without her eyebrows and eyelashes done just right. When she isn\u2019t reading and writing, you can catch her jamming out in the car with her two kids to \u201990s R&amp;B, country, and showtunes. Amie draws inspiration from her childhood in Columbia, South Carolina, and can\u2019t imagine living anywhere other than the South.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Stay up to date with Amie Knight by signing up for her\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2xR67xb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MAILING LIST<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/authoramieknight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook\u00a0<\/a>|\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/authoramieknigh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter\u00a0<\/a>|\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/amie_knight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Instagram\u00a0<\/a>|\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.authoramieknight.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Website<\/a>\u00a0 | \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/amieknight\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Goodreads<\/a>\u00a0 | \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2IOzy8z\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amazon<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/amieknightssocialites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Join Amie\u2019s reader group<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"57909\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/?attachment_id=57909\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Amie-Knight-Logo.png?fit=1598%2C598&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1598,598\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Amie Knight Logo\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Amie-Knight-Logo.png?fit=150%2C56&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-57909 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Amie-Knight-Logo.png?resize=382%2C143&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"382\" height=\"143\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Amie-Knight-Logo.png?w=1598&amp;ssl=1 1598w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Amie-Knight-Logo.png?resize=100%2C37&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Amie-Knight-Logo.png?resize=150%2C56&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Amie-Knight-Logo.png?resize=600%2C225&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Amie-Knight-Logo.png?resize=1536%2C575&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Amie-Knight-Logo.png?resize=650%2C243&amp;ssl=1 650w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Amie-Knight-Logo.png?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 382px) 100vw, 382px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;
