A Sizzling, Small-town, Grumpy/Sunshine, Single Dad Romance.

Jackson Corbett is a gorgeous single dad who doesn’t want complications at his family winery. And I’m the messy tornado who just offered to be his new nanny.

Jackson Corbett is not impressed when I show up for an interview in my pajamas at the wrong time. But I need this job working in the tasting room at Buttercup Hill Vineyards and I'll do anything to get it. Years of sommelier courses and amateur wine-making have landed me here, at the best winery in Napa Valley, and I'm here to stay.

So I make him a deal.

He’s overworked and stretched thin with parenting and a stressful job. I tell him that if I’m hired by the winery, I’ll work a second job as his nanny.

I can endure the world’s grouchiest dad and entertain his feisty seven-year-old if it means career advancement and paying off my debts, while taking care of my younger sister.

I also know there's no risk of romantic entanglement because Jackson is a grade-A grump—albeit a hot and chiseled one—who’s been burned by love. The weight of the world sits on his muscular shoulders, and he spends most of his time worrying about his daughter and looking at spreadsheets.

The last thing I’m concerned about is how he looks at me.

Until he does.

I catch him sneaking glances, and I can’t help staring right back. And noticing how sweet he is with his daughter, how his chilly façade starts to melt, and how he lingers longer than necessary when I’m around.

I find myself wanting to help him even if it means spending more time away from my sister, right when she needs me the most. I’m terrified of letting down the only real family I have left.

Falling for him could ruin my carefully-wrought plans.

But what if I love him more?


MY REVIEW


Jax has taken on the business side of running his family's vineyard. It's a complicated job, further complicated by his father's leaving the business in a mess with his Alzheimer's diagnosis. He knows he needs a nanny, but hates having to ask for help. Then a beautiful redhead stumbles into his life and offers to work at his vineyard and be his daughter's nanny. Sounds like a good idea, but he can't be attracted to his nanny, can he?


Ruby has the weight of the world on her shoulders, just like Jax. She desperately needs a job at his vineyard, in hopes of moving up to sommelier. She's raising her college student sister, and can't let her down. But coming to Jax's vineyard, becoming his nanny, and falling in love with his adorable daughter, it's all expanding her life in ways she never imagined. But she can't help but think that she needs to keep putting her sister first, even though it's to the detriment of her own happiness.


What a sweet, swoony story! I do so love a grumpy/sunshine situation, combined with a single dad? I'm so down for this. I absolutely adore this slow burn, sweet couple. Ruby and Jax had so much going on, had so many pressures on their shoulders, it's a wonder they allowed themselves to fall in love. Thank God they found each other, because little Fiona deserved a happy dad and a sweetheart of a mom. Buttercup Hill is shaping up to be a wonderful series, I can't wait for the next couple fall next.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...
