Review: Misadventures with a Manny by Toni Aleo

Review of Misadventures with a Manny by Toni Aleo



Lincoln needs a new family to love, a new family to be a care for. His previous family moved to Germany and it's left him at loose ends. So when his best friend and his friend's wife plead with him to help out her sister, who's a divorced mother of three whose children have run off their ninth, that's right, NINTH, nanny since her ex husband left her for their previous nanny. Uh huh...so when Phillip and Riana beg him to help out Vera and her three boys, whom Lincoln already knows and likes, he can't say no. Now if only Vera will go for it. She has already said before that she doesn't want a male nanny, excuse me, manny caring for her boys, but Riana knows Vera won't be able to say know to Lincoln, who's honestly the world's greatest nanny.


Lincoln sounds like a dream come true for Vera, who's desperately trying to keep her boys happy, plus work to provide for them, AND be there for them emotionally. They've been so hurt by their father, and it's made her eldest, Charlie, act out. Lincoln just might be the answer to all her prayers. But then she meets him and he's so incredibly gorgeous and bearded, and BIG that suddenly her long dead libido wakes up. But that's not a good thing because Lincoln's now off limits. She can't hook up with her manny, can she? Should she? Will she?


I just loved this installment of the Misadventures series! Tony Aleo seriously upped the ante with her story. It's so darn sweet, mainly because of Lincoln and the boys, and super sexy, and Lincoln and Vera are a real, heartfelt couple. The other stories I've read in this series have ranged from pretty much just erotica, to suspens-y, some BDSM-y, second chances, and so on. But I think that this particular story has an edge over the others I've read (and loved) in that it feels more well rounded and has the sweetest, sexiest hero yet in Lincoln. Add in a wonderful secondary cast in Phillip and Riana, and of course Vera and Lincoln's boys, and what we've got is a 5 star read that's perfectly executed and the character and relationship development is spot on. Toni Aleo has never let me down before (her hockey stories are some of my favorite sports romances of all time!) and I love her take on the Misadventures series.

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
