Tallulah is smart, vivacious, and studying to be a marine biologist. She’s also twenty-six and broke. So when Burgess, a battle-scarred hockey veteran and newly single dad, offers her a job as his live-in nanny, she jumps at the opportunity to get paid while living in a super fancy neighborhood and being around Lissa, his cool but introverted tween.
Her tween charge isn’t the only one who could use some help fitting in, though. According to…well, everyone except Burgess, he needs to get back on the dating scene, and adventurous Tallulah is just the girl to show him how. But as boundaries are slowly crossed and Burgess finds himself pulled between his daughter, who wants her parents back together, and his insane chemistry with Tallulah, a huge rift is formed, and Tallulah does the “right” thing—breaks her own heart and walks away.
Though Burgess knows it’s for the best—he’s too jaded, with too much baggage—a chance meeting, and a new push from his daughter, forces him to put everything on the line and fight to prove he learned his lessons well and is worthy of a happily ever after with Tallulah.

I am officially in love with this series. I now understand why people are talking about Tessa Bailey; my only regret is that I did not start reading her books earlier. There is something about the way Bailey writes her books, especially the way she portrays the characters' emotions, that you cannot help but fall in love with. I have been curious about Tallulah since she appeared in the first book, Fangirl Down . When she accepted the job in the first book, I was already looking forward to the next one and wondering if she would regret working for a guy she barely knew. I could tell that there was instant connection between Tallulah and Burgess, even if Tallulah was too stubborn to admit. Burgess's dedication to Tallulah was charming, though he could be overprotective at times.
I adored Lissa and Tallulah's relationship; Lissa clearly looked up to Tallulah. However, I was curious if her feelings for Tallulah would change if she knew how she felt about her father. I was relieved Lissa had someone like Tallulah; she needed someone like that in her life. I believe Tallulah and Burgess needed someone like that in their lives. I'm curious to see what happens to three of them after the last page, and where their lives will take them next. Tallulah is the type of character that you can't help but love, and I love the way she makes friends with others, such as Chloe. Tallulah had such an impact on almost everyone she met, particularly Burgess.
Even though this was a fictional story, I appreciated how it addressed some real-world issues. I wish there was more hockey in the book; it was briefly mentioned, but not as much as I expected. I enjoyed the humor in the book, which made it much more enjoyable to read. I'm excited to check out Sig and Chloe's story in Dream Girl Drama; something about their connection in this book makes me curious about what happens next. Highly recommended for romance fans.
