🧡 “This is fucking miserable, Miller, knowing there’s a clock counting down the seconds until I don’t have you anymore, but I’d do it all over again. I’d fall in love with you all over again. I’d break my heart all over again because loving you was one of the two greatest surprises of my life� 🧡
5 stars 🎀�
� every. single. liz tomforde book has gotten a 5/5 from me �
ܳ🫶🏼
the book follows two mcs, kai and miller.
kai is a baseball player and a single dad in need of a nanny for the summer. enter his coach’s daughter, miller montgomery who happens to be on a work hiatus to spend more time with her dad. her dad then suggests she works for kai and obviously who’s he to refuse his coach so he hires her� and they fall in love and it’s adorable and perfect 🙈
tropes 🧸
� coach’s daughter
� single dad x nanny
� grumpy x sunshine
� forced proximity
� found family
ٱ👨👩č�
kai rhodes (aka baseball daddy) is one of the most attractive mmcs ive ever read about. I don’t even know how to describe it it’s not like anything he does or says it’s just like him naturally as a person (i say that as he is literally ink on paper). i loved him so so much. he was kinda shy and insecure which i lowkey adore sometimes bc i can’t handle ego 😭 like he knew he was hot but still he was sweet.
❤️� “You put me first when i forgot how to. You reminded me what it felt like to be important, to be chosen first. I know you wanted this to be easy and detached, but you’re fucking in here� His fingers meet his chest, tapping it a couple of times, blue eyes meeting mine, and full of pain.❤️�
he just wanted to feel loved. I’ll love you kai 🥹🤧 just give me a chance fr I won’t disappoint you 💁♀�
miller montgomery (also known as hot nanny) was with a doubt one of the funniest fmc’s ive ever read about i love her so much. Liz tomforde girls slay always >>>>
I think if I had to rank them though it would be
1. INDY ALWAYS 🤭🤭💅💅
2. Miller 💁♀️�
3. Stevie 🧸🫶🏼
but they’re all amazing honestly it’s sooo tough to choose.BUT LIKE INDY 4 LIFE
max holds the title for my favourite fictional child 🤭 usually when there’s a kid involved they’re not that much relevant to the story and they don’t really have their own plot but HE DID 🥹🫶🏼 we got to see him take his first steps, his first words (not like actual first words just new words) and we got to see miller and him develop an adorable relationship <33 i loved every second of it.
romance 🦋💓
⭒˚。 hey siri, play “labyrinth� by taylor swift. ⭒˚。
that song is so perfect for them bc it describes every stage of their relationship. hear me out.
✩♬₊�. uh oh, im falling in love ✩♬₊�
STEP 1 - they develop a crush
🤨 “you’ve got a cute kid�
you’ve got a cute everything, is what i want to say in response. 🤨
kai and miller first meet in an elevator and it’s very insta-lovey. that quote was literally page 7 💀
he starts talking about how beautiful (but reckless) she is and she is thinking “omg he’s so annoying but he’s so hot� and for the first 100 pages they are just highkey crushing and flirting with each other. onto step 2.
✩♬₊�. oh no, im falling in love again ✩♬₊�.
STEP 2- they’re down bad
🤧 “I love you. God, I love you so much, Miller, it feels like it might kill me�🤧
so they realise they love eachother but can’t be together and the next day she leaves 😀🔫
and they don’t speak for a while� ☹️
✩♬₊�. oh, im falling in love ✩♬₊�.
STEP 3 (FINALE) - HAPPILY EVER AFTER WOOO 🥳
“I’m looking forward to living in one spot. Having a place to call home. Having my dad close by and being a part of a community that supports me, and who I support in return. Having constant encouragement from the man I love, and I’m equally excited to cheer him on his endeavours.�
she realises she’s miserable without him, quits her job and moves back. SLAYYY 💅💅
the end.
conclusion 💘
I highly highly recommend this whole series and im honestly so glad its not over yet bc i am simply not ready ✋🏼✋🏼 my fav is still the first in the series but the second is the most popular. PLZ PLZZZZZ GO READ IT. for me 🤧🤧💓💓
br with my gorgeous paula <33 you were so patient with me ilysm and I hope we can read together again soon 😚💌
