Nanny Madison Connor has just learned that she's about to lose the job she's had for three years when her employer Dominic Hartley tells her he's taking his daughter (Tilly) and moving to New York. He doesn't expect her to pick up her life and leave the country to accompany them. Both Madison and five year old Tilly have feelings of loss, and Madison and Dom's argument over what's in Tilly's best interest has unexpected consequences and new feelings for each other start to bloom.This was a very sweet and relaxing read. It's got a lot of the ingredients I require for a successful romantic novella-length story. Madison works really well as the book's only POV; she's strong willed, capable and intelligent. However, I have to say: Dom had a lot of internal struggle going on in this story, and not seeing his thought process and how he dealt with what he's going through kind of hurt this for me. I would really have liked having Dom be more present in this.It's not overly complicated or convoluted with drama, it's simple enough to be relaxing and pleasing. I would recommend this for a nice, quick read.*For those wondering if this is a "clean" romance... I guess it depends on your definition of clean; sex isn't completely absent. There is a sex scene but it's really tame, it's not too graphic or drawn out. It can easily be skipped.
