This has everything I love in an exceptional romcom – the trash talk between friends who are closer than brothers and always have your back, small-town charm and quirks, and clever banter and sparkling chemistry between the hero and heroine. Add in three adorable kids, fake southern charm and a mean girl to the mix, and I’m done. It’s my first romance from this talented storyteller and I’m a new fan for life!
Wes Taylor had it all. A great football career, fame and fortune, and a wife and three children who were his world. Until he decided to retire from football and his wife walked out on him and his children. So he takes his kids and moves back to his small home town, knowing that having family close will help his children adjust to their new normal without their mother.
What he doesn’t expect is his parent's neighbor, Betsy Sullivan. His younger daughter connects with Betsy immediately, his son adores her completely, and Betsy has a way of reaching his older daughter who's to old and wise for her age. Wes knows he needs to hire a nanny to help his family get through the end of the football season, and Betsy is a natural choice.
Betsy has failed at every job she ever had, and she's had a lot of them. But there's something about the Taylor children that bring out the protector and defender in her, and she'll do anything to help ease their loss and make them smile. Her attraction to their father is a dangerous thing however, because, if acted on, it could destroy her relationship with his children, something she values above all else.
This sweet, charming romance is full of heart, with just the right amount of angst, and these characters effortlessly stole my heart. I love the small-town setting and the sense of community and family. It’s funny and light-hearted but touching and emotional, and you won’t want to miss a second of this delightful, phenomenal, full-of-feels romance.

Single Dad + Hot Athlete = one sexy read.
This book was swoony, HOT and hilarious! I love kids in books and these three were so funny! Betsy and Wes gave me all the feels, a great start to a new series! Check out this one of if you like:Small townSingle Dad/NannyAge GapRetired football playerSteamyStrong & sexy heroineSingle Dad + Hot Athlete = one sexy read. Wes Taylor is at the end of his football career, ready to retire and finally spend some more time with his kids and wife, that is until he’s handed divorce papers and he’s suddenly their sole caretaker. In walks Betsy, a sassy southern enigma, a true kid whisperer and the perfect nanny for Wes’s kids, even if he has the hots for her and she never saw her career path heading towards being a nanny. These two had chemistry in spades and I loved how his whole family embraced Betsy, becoming the real family unit she always wanted. There were some great heartfelt moments and of course several that had me rolling with laughter! “I was just a lost soul trying to find her way. I ended up finding a home. And my home is Wes Taylor.”The romance and passion built throughout the story leading to some VERY hot scenes, Wes is a man that can take care of all a woman’s needs. I loved how natural their relationship felt and how they put the kids feelings first and foremost. Betsy was such a spitfire, I love a sassy and strong heroine that I can easily relate with and laugh with! Overall I smiled much reading this book, definitely a new favorite from Chelle! Excited to see what’s in store for the rest of Wes’s friends Rolling Hills!
