Here I am....
Crying in the nail salon over over Down Too Deep...

So many emotions!!! This book literally tugged at all of my heart strings. The father son bond was literally everything and the romance between Jenna and Nathan was perfect. I loved the character build up and the way that both of their main characters were their own person but weren’t (do I even make sense??? It’s probably the crying that’s making my brain a mush).

Gotta go before I completely ruin my manicure and the lady calls 911 thinking I’m going insane.

Thank you so much for sending me the widget!

This was such a great story! These two people have dealt with loss in their own ways. It is two different types of loss but loss just the same. He tried to drink it away and ignore his responsibilities while she lives for her kids. They meet in the most ingenious of ways. Her son is in the men’s room and he is in there taking care of his business. Things progress from there as she learns that his adorable little daughter needs someone to watch her while he works and hires someone to help him out! I was so in love with this storyline that I had a very difficult time putting this book down and was able to finish it is a day.!

After the death of his wife, Nathan finds it difficult to connect with his daughter, fearing how to deal with explaining to her how her mother died as she grows up. When his parents force him to take his daughter back and spend more time
with her, he’s desperate to find a caretaker while he tries to hire another manager for his restaurant. He meets Jenna, a single mom of twins, who immediately falls in love with his little daughter Marley and gladly offers to babysit her while he works.

This one has a lot of really likeable characters, particularly the kids. Jenna’s twins, Oliver and Olivia, are extremely endearing and realistic, though they pretty much never have an argument throughout which kind of surprised me. But their love for Marley and growing attachment to Nathan as a potential father figure in their life was so lovely to read about.

The premise is a bit eye roll worthy with the whole “falling in love with the nanny” trope. But the cutesy family parts throughout are sweet and make your heart melt. I really appreciate Nathan’s idea that it’s okay for girls to not forgive men too easily even if they want to—they should make them work for it.

Not a wholly spectacular read, but deals with a sensitive issue that deserves to be explored (loss of a loved one to suicide).

*Content/trigger warnings: mentions of suicide

I literally read the last page and immediately wanted to start over! This is J Daniels best work in the series and an epic conclusion to it. I'm going to really hate to see these characters go. I absolutely loved everything about Jenna and Nate as a couple. Oh and who could not love those freaking adorable kids! Right off the bat I knew it was going to be tough to see Nate going through what he was for the past two years. It was heartbreaking all this guilt he carried around. Then when Jenna, Oliver and Olivia enter the picture my heart melted into this big puddle of goo. It was amazing to see Jenna bring Marley and Nate back together and showing him that he is a great father. There is just so much I could say about this book! I laughed, I cried, and I swooned. I felt everything, this evoked so many feelings out of me.

Nate's wife committed suicide 2 years ago and left him with an infant daughter. Not knowing what to do and wallowing in guilt, he's let his parents take care of her but when they tell him he needs to step up he rises to the occasion. Nate has no idea how he's going to work and take care of a toddler. Then he meets Jenna, a single mother of twins, and he's thrilled when she offers to watch his daughter. Pretty soon Nate and Jenna realize how much they care for each other and for each other's kids. I really enjoyed this heartwarming romance with heat.

This is my first time reading the author and this is book 4 in the series, that said I was never lost and I loved every second of this story and I need to read the other books in the series.

This books description sounded pretty great and it was even better than I imagined. Nathan is our hero and he is a broken man but he has a 2 yeat old daughter. 2 years before his wife killed herself and he has been avoiding his life and daughter in the 2 years. Until his parents tell him he has a daughter he needs to get to know.

Thats how he ends up meeting Jenna. Jenna is single mom to 8 year old twins, Oliver and Olivia (loved their names so much.) She works at home with the kids and she offers to babysit 2 year old Marley. And that starts a beautiful relationship.

But Nate is a broken man and his past gets in the way of the future. I loved Jenna so much. She is a giver and she has to learn how to take care of herself first. I loved that when Nate screws up, she makes him work for it. And Nate I loved so much too. He has been hurt by life but he has such a kind heart that he is perfect for Jenna.
I adored this book and this couple so much. I truly loved every single moment of this story.
