Review # 1 was written on 2016-12-05 00:00:00 Waltraud Silver This was much better than I anticipated. The h has known the H for years, and has worked as a nanny for the past three since his wife died. The story begins when the h tells him they should get married. He thinks it's a joke, but she's not kidding. Once he makes it clear he's not interested, she turns tropes on end by moving on. He has to look for another baby-sitter, and he sees signs that she has moved on from new clothes to new guys. She still stays in touch with his little girl so she's not a cold chick, but she makes it clear in a, shock, grown up way that the old deal won't do. Both characters were very believable to me. The H is a solid guy, totally clueless to what she means to him, and happy to just float along. Hmm, do we know any men like that? I sure do. Slowly the two come together as he is overwhelmed by his attraction to her. The development is slower and more natural than it sounds, and the chemistry is hot!!! The ending drops off a bit at the end. The daughter, who is adorable, is not seen much at the end, and the h's desire for a real wedding is shuffled aside as is her disappointment in his lack of confidence. A four star heroine in a three star book.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-01-18 00:00:00 Tracy Nichols While I liked that after years of unrequited loving Kristin finally stood up for herself and set her life straight, I never got over the fact how much younger than Derek she was. Romances with age differences can definitely work, but here I thought that the power dynamics between them never really balanced out. In the end I didn't really feel that they had an equal relationship, and I need the hero and heroine to be equals to really feel the romance.
