Summary
L.A. can be a lonely and isolating place. After a few short months of L.A. living, Ava James has learned that lesson well. As an aspiring actress, she finally lands the role of a lifetime. Except it’s not on the big screen as she originally hoped. But it’s still a role millions of women and some men would die for: nanny for single dad and Hollywood’s A-list English actor, Clark Grant. Day to day life with his easy-going and adorable young daughter Brooklyn isn’t much of adjustment. Ava has nannied for many Hollywood families. However, the heat building between Clark and Ava is close to catching fire. And you know there’s nothing worse than a wildfire in L.A.! Will Ava continue to reach for the stars, or will one star in particular set her on a course she had no intention of taking?
Review
“Yeah. A lot can happen in a year, Clark. I never would have foreseen this as my future.”
4.5 ⭐️
A lot can happen in a year. Even when you try to plan for the future, something happens, changing your life. You may think you want something, but it may not be what you need at the end of the day. Life has a way so that you always end up where you belong.
What an emotional ride! I wasn’t expecting to tear up a few times while reading, but I did. Some moments will touch your heart.
Clark is an actor. Even though he’s in the spotlight, he tries everything to keep anything regarding his daughter, Brooklyn, private. He loves her very much and would do anything for her as a single dad.
Ava is an aspiring actress. As she’s trying to catch her next break, she’s nannying for other celebrities. Ava’s not like other actresses using whoever she can to get to the top. She’s picky about the roles she chooses. Ava becomes Brooklyn’s nanny out of chance.
Ava and Grant’s relationship is cute. But Brooklyn and Ava’s relationship, while sweet, is the star of the show. Ava and Brooklyn have an understanding between them. Their relationship is not that of nanny and child, but rather, friends. They connected from the very beginning. I said it before, and I’ll say it again. I love it when there are children in the books I’m reading. Maybe not all the time, but I’m not opposed to them. Children bring a new dimension into the story if done correctly.
Thank you, Caroline Christiansen and LitUncorked, for an ARC.
