Take a decadent and sizzling armchair vacation to the
South of France this summer …
Josie thought she was getting a promotion, but instead her
career implodes. She impulsively takes up her roommates' offer to nanny for a
little girl on a mega yacht in the South of France. Even though she can't stand
boats, this seems like fate giving her an opportunity to lick her wounds in a
bucket list paradise while she figures out how to get her life back.
But this little girl she's arrived to look after has a daddy.
A widowed, hot, young, billionaire of a daddy. A man who is both France's
economic king and their tragic broken prince. He's the French paparazzi's dream
fodder. And if there's anything that Josie needs less than having to be stuck
on a yacht, no matter how luxurious, it's an inconvenient and
highly-combustible attraction to her new boss. A man who, for all his wealth,
is grumpy, conceited, and utterly closed off. Basically the complete opposite
of the careless playboy that people think he is. And most of all he's wary and
untrusting of her, this American girl who's passing herself off as a nanny when
she has zero experience.
Xavier Pascale is on an emotional island of his own making.
It's just him and his daughter, Dauphine. He likes it that way. He works hard.
His shareholders are happy. His best friends are his body guard, and the people
who work for him. What's wrong with that? But then he meets Josephine Marin.
Her arrival in his life is like an earth tremor along a catastrophic fault
line. And now... well, now, he's very, very aware of his isolation and his very
human ... need. But He can't be distracted. When he gets distracted terrible
things happen.
He should send her home.
He really should.
But what
if he just takes what he wants, just this one time ...
This is a standalone, contemporary romance. It
includes luscious scenes of sparkling blue ocean, and tantalizing, seductive
food, was well as a smoking hot, dirty-talking Frenchman. If traveling scares
you, or sexy times scare you, then this book is not for you. But if you're
looking for a decadent armchair vacation after being stuck in one place for
over a year--that will make you laugh, swoon, and cry--then this one is for you!
Josie + Xavier.
I just love Nanny & Single Dad romances. And it's even better when the dad is super hot and mega rich! Plus we travel to France, we live on a yacht. Oy. I so wanted to swap places with Josie!
We get to see so many amazing places.
This was such a beautiful love story.
We have a great supporting cast - the friends and especially the little girl - they sometimes get on my nerves so much - not this time! Dauphine was super adorable!
Of course we have our troubled moments too.
The book is pretty long. Which I loved. There was nothing that I would cut - which is something I normally want to do with too long books. But this was all so very readable! I just loved it.
