REVIEW ➞ The Nanny and the Nerd by Krista Sandor

BLURB ➞

Three things NOT to do when nannying for a video gaming mogul (aka the hottest nerd on the planet):

#1 Do not get lost in his dreamy green eyes.

#2 Do not salivate over his rock-hard abs.

#3 No matter what happens, do not fall for his super-nerdy dirty talk!

Penny Fennimore is not winning at life. An aspiring writer with a monster-sized case of writer’s block, she’s got bills to pay and barely a dime to her name.

Enter the exclusive Nanny Match Agency and an opportunity to make bank.

The job: A cushy, live-in nanny position caring for tech billionaire Rowen Gale’s six-year-old niece.

The problem?

Her hot nerd of a boss!

They’re opposites in every way. He’s the king of hi-tech, and she uses a flip phone from 2002. She’s not even sure he’s 100% human. With his muted expression, the man might as well be one of the robots from his video games until their eyes meet, and the attraction meter explodes.

She’s got to put the kibosh on her libido. But the universe doesn’t always play nice.

When Mr. Robot-Bedroom-Eyes goes MIA, she marches up to his fancy-pants video gaming company to give him a piece of her mind—which doesn’t go as planned.

Instead, she spies a video game storyboard. It’s a hot mess, and she can’t help but dive and rewrite it.

Did anyone ask for her opinion? That’s a no!

The positive? She’s writing!

The negative? Her boss needs her to keep it up. Turns out, this video game requires a complete overhaul, and she’s the only one who can give him what he wants.

Now, she’s not only caring for his niece. She’s with him morning, noon, and night.

And that’s where it gets complicated.

When he looks at her, she gets a glimpse of what’s behind his hardened veneer. And being with this man feels right, like the forever kind of right.

Her heart is on the line.

Could this nanny match be the match that changes everything, or will it be game over for the nanny and the nerd?


“Keep talking nerdy to me”


ARC REVIEW ➞

Penny and Rowen are complete opposites. She is somewhat of a free spirit, posting loving woman. He is a technology driven and organized man. Yet the two of them have instant chemistry.

Penny and Rowen developed a great working relationship. Sure, she was his nanny for his six year old niece, Phoebe, but she also helped him with his game. I loved the relationship that Penny and Phoebe built and she became a great influence for the little girl. I loved Penny’s group of friends…seriously, they are a great girl gang and super supportive. Plus, the relationship Penny had with her sisters. And of course, Rowen’s “friends”.

This book is on the lighter side, there is some drama and there are some potential triggers to some people (death and addiction).

If you’re looking for a single parent, opposites attract, workplace, grumpy/sunshine romance this is one to check out.
