BLURB
A small town, single dad, enemies to lovers romance.
Crawling back to this small town was never in hockey star Chase Woodson’s plans.
From hitting hockey pucks in front of thousands to selling urinal pucks at his father’s hardware store, coming back home is his worst nightmare.
But being a (newly) single dad of twin boys means making sacrifices. His boys need stability and his dad needs his help in the store.
Now he needs her.
Except, Chase has been the bane of Madison Kelly’s existence since high school.
She just so happens to be the only available nanny in town.
Besides, high school was ten years ago.
People don’t hold grudges that long, right?

MY REVIEW
Why does Chase's only choice for help have to be the one woman who hates him - Madison? He's still not sure what he ever did to Madison back in the day, but she's despised him for years. But he's back home now since finding his ex cheated on him with his teammate, and he's been let go, so he has to come home and take care of his dad and their hardware store. He needs a nanny for his kids, even if he doesn't like asking for help. If he's going to hire Madison, they need rules. And he's going to make damn sure they follow them!
Madison too is back home after experiencing a serious betrayal. The last person she wants or expects, to see, is her nemesis, Chase. But when he offers an obscene amount of money to nanny his kids, she has to accept, so she can get out of the mess her ex left her with. Chase says there are rules, she can abide by them, right? Or can she, when she realizes the misinformation she's been dealing with all these years?
One word - communication!!! Chase and Madison's relationship is filled with mis and non-communication, and I wanted to smack them both for it. But their chemistry is strong enough, beneath the surface of their antagonism, to get over these problems. I like this small town, enemies-ish to lovers story, and am definitely looking forward to the next couple to fall in love.
