A funny and timeless novel from Luci Adams in the vein of Sophie Cousens and Kelly Harms featuring:

*One horrible, “bury your head under the covers” kind of day

*Two adorable children to nanny; and

*Their very hot, very single father


Daisy has realized you really can hit rock bottom when you lose your job, your boyfriend, and are estranged from your sister all at once. Seeking to claw her way out from the very definition of a bad year, her plan is to start by simply looking like she’s clawing her way out of rock bottom. On Instagram. Obviously.

But when she takes a stopgap job as a nanny to help a single father with his two young girls, being immersed in a close-knit, loving family starts to poke holes in her plan. Can making her not-so-picture-perfect life look perfect online really help her derailed career get back on track? Can it mend her relationship with her unreliable and painfully irritating sister? And can it get her back in the arms of her unbelievably beautiful and shallow ex…and as she gets closer to someone new, does she even want to?

A sparkling and bright novel of love, second chances, and finding your way in the age of ennui and influencers, It Must Be True Then is a delight for the millennial and Gen Z age.

MY REVIEW

Daisy's lost her job and her boyfriend and she's fighting with her sister. But somehow she ends up snagging a nanny job to two adorable kids. It's this job that will change her life, if she can get out of her head, open herself up feelings.


So this story had 3, good things:
1) Cara and Bailey are absolutely adorable, with different enough perspectives and personalities that they are easily able to stand on their own.
2) Archie is simply the best kind of bbf - sweet, patient and loving, not to mention, he's pretty darn cute.
3) The writing and the storyline are great.

Unfortunately, the 1 bad thing, was bad enough to bring down my rating a star. Daisy. Sigh...she is definitely the worst part, the only bad part, of this story. She's judgmental and rigid, and being in her sort of frantic head the whole way through is exhausting! I dislike her so much that it dulled my enjoyment of the rest of the story and characters. But, even though I can't stand Daisy, I like everything else. The other characters, the growth and heart, and the fun storyline. The romance itself is slow burn as Archie and Daisy take time developing a solid friendship first. And the rest of the relationships stand out too.

Blog Tour & Review: The Billionaire's Fake Fiancée by Annika Martin

The Billionaire's Fake Fiancée by Annika Martin Release Date: April 28th The Billionaire's Fake Fiancée, a sexy romantic comedy by New York Times bestselling author Annika Martin. I’m no Prince Charming, and the last thing I want is a Cinderella. My instructions were simple: scour the city for a fake fiancée who’s not my type at all. Have her on my jet Monday morning, dressed appropriately for a yacht vacation. I need a woman believable enough to convince a certain client that I’ve changed my playboy ways…yet nothing like the supermodels and socialites I usually have on my arm. Somebody too annoying to tempt me—no emotional entanglements, thank you very much. This is business only. If she’s unfazed by my looks and wealth, all the better. Should be easy. Right? Apparently not, because my people go and hire Tabitha. My hairdresser. What were they thinking? Yes, I said annoying, but I didn’t mean her, the most frustrating woman in the world. Tabitha is sunshiny. She has a pet ha...
