Synopsis:

I wasn’t supposed to fall in love with the nanny.

When my wife left, she took the illusion of happiness with her, and I’ve been caught in a free fall ever since. For nine long months, I’ve been fighting to figure out how to be a single dad, how to be alone.

For nine long months, I’ve been failing.

When Hannah walked through the door, I took my first breath since I’d found myself on my own. She slipped into our lives effortlessly, showing me what I’ve been missing all these years. Because Hannah made me smile when I thought I’d packed the notion of happiness away with my wedding album.

She was only supposed to be the nanny, but she’s so much more.

The day my wife left should have been the worst day of my life, but it wasn’t. It was when Hannah walked away, taking my heart with her.

A Little Too Late follows Hannah, a young Dutch au pair who is currently looking for a new live-in nanny job so she can stay in the United States. Her first job ended horrendously, thanks to the perverted husband. She’s sent to Charlie’s house for an interview and gets the job almost instantly.

She moves in and she hits it off with the family automatically. It doesn’t even feel like a job to her. She loves the children and even has a thing for her boss, Charlie. He has a thing for her too but refuses to act on it because of their business relationship.

“I wasn’t supposed to fall in love with the nanny”

They obviously act on their attractions. They have their troubles because of his ex wife and her old boss. Things happen and they split up. Typical relationship with these kinds of books.

I didn’t really find anything really special with this book. It didn’t click with me and if I didn’t have my rule of finishing all of the books I start, I would have put it down.

“Hannah, you might be one of the best things to have ever happened to me.”

I liked the characters, a little bit. I mean, they were as good as they could get I guess. Nothing too unique about them. Other than the fact that the main character is Dutch.  I didn’t really care for Charlie too much. I think he’s okay, just a flat character.

I’m sure this book is appealing to other, I’m not going to not recommend it to anyone. I’m sure there are people out there who love this book.

“I didn’t want to be free. I only wanted to be hers.”

Happenings Away From The Blog Hello and welcome back to my blog! I decided to start blogging again last week. I’m currently still going strong. By that, I mean I haven’t wanted to quit yet. I’m beginning to realize that going to WordPress is what makes me hate blogging. I’m not going back there again. In the coming weeks, I may not be blogging as much though. We’re in the process of moving so my spare time is either spent cleaning or packing. We haven’t moved since 2012 and I’m extremely nervous about this move. I’m also extremely annoyed that I have so many books to pack. As much as I love my books, I never thought I would ever have to move them. This is kind of part of the reason why I haven’t been buying as many physical books. Not much has happened work-wise. I got a super nice compliment from a client and it made me feel a lot better about what I do at work. I also took three days off, equalling five days off work. My son starts school again on Tuesday and I’m currently just helpi

Books On My Fall TBR!

Top Ten Tuesday was created by  The Broke and the Bookish and is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl . This week’s prompt is to talk about the books on our Fall TBR!  I'm not going to lie, I don't normally make any TBRs. I typically choose a book at random to read. I do this in order to make sure every single book on my TBR has a chance to be read. Babel by R.F. Kuag: I am actually dying to read this book. I have seen nothing but great reviews for this one. Luckily, if I love it, I already have two beautiful editions 😍 Mistakes Were Made by Meryl Wilsner: I actually have an arc of this one from NetGalley. I highly enjoyed Meryl's debut novel and I'm excited to see if I will feel the same about her newer release. Haunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton: Soooo many people have read and loved this book. I love a good dark romance and I'm definitely making sure I pick this one up soon. A Light In The Flame by Jennifer L. Armentrout: This one doesn't come out for a w
