About
In retrospect, it might not have been the wisest idea to hand in my v-card to a hot librarian I picked up at my mother’s cocktail party.
In my defense, the man has a French accent, gray hair, and knows a lot about books. The cards were really stacked against me making good choices, folks.
I was probably naïve to expect a call after that, but when he didn’t, it hurt to accept he didn’t feel that same connection I did.
If that isn’t a sign you need to make a change, I don’t know what is. Too bad the “change” I get is six months in a remote French chateau, working as a nanny to an adorable little girl. Who happens to be the daughter of the single dad I had sex with in a grocery store parking lot.
Ellis Delvaux has made it clear he isn’t interested in a relationship. Unfortunately, when you’re a hopeless romantic spending that much time with someone you’re attracted to, in what might be the most beautiful place on the planet, things happen.
And sometimes, to avoid those things happening, you come up with a list of rules to facilitate six-months of secret, no strings attached sex with a man who is as off-limits as it gets.
What could go wrong?
Praise for this book
This book excels in so many ways. The forbidden romance is layered with tension, thanks to the age gap, the employer/nanny dynamic, and Jo's status as the daughter of Ellis’s boss. The French countryside is a stunning backdrop for their story, and Ellis’s bookish nature adds a dreamy touch to the narrative.
If you’re a fan of steamy romances, this one’s definitely for you.
READ THIS IN ONE SITTING....ONE SITTING!!!!!!!
Ok I am done yelling. I have ADHD I do not do ONE thing for hours on end to completion. I move...I change up to one of the 1000s of hobbies Ive taken on...wander the house....NOT WITH THIS BOOK. I sat for hours and hyper fixated until it was over 😂😂😂😂 This book was absolute perfection .
Everything about this book was stunning- from the cover to the characters, and to the meaning behind the name. This was such a real and thoughtful novel, and I genuinely enjoyed everything about it. The way that the MCs understood each other was just so special.
I genuinely didn't expect to love the book this much- and I can 100% see myself re-reading it in the future. I wished that this was longer 😭. CW has done it again 🥹.
Oh my goodness!!! This was so undeniably cute, steamy, and full of heart!
Hot single dad. Who's also a librarian. Oh and he's FRENCH!! Cleo... Ma'am... WHAT DO YOU PUT IN THESE BOOKS!?!?!? Narcotics. Has to be. No other excuse for the way I am simping after Ellis and looking desperately for my next fix.
