This is a story about how Mia regroups after she divorces her cheating husband, and has to raise their daughter, Lucia, on her own. Between house chores, taking care of Lucia, and working full-time, it's quite a struggle. Because she has no family nearby to help out, she hires a "manny" or a male nanny, Dominic, who had previously been in a high-paying, high stress job. I laughed when Mia first meets the extremely handsome and charming Dominic because I'm sure most women can relate to that moment of staring at a great looking guy and being spellbound and speechless. Mia's self-deprecating humor is engaging and makes her a realistic character. There are a few moments of suspense, for instance when Alex (Mia's ex-husband) suddenly shows an interest in Lucia - and when Mia thinks that Dominic may be too controlling. Let's face it - after a bad marriage, Mia is gun shy, but holds on to the hope that her relationship with Dominic will lead to marriage because it's almost love at first sight for her. This book will stay with you after you finish and the author ties it up beautifully.
