The Nanny and the Nerd by Krista Sandor (Nanny Love Match #1)

 

💜💜💜💜💜

I'm obsessed with this new series! As soon as I heard the author was creating a new series about nannies, I knew I'd be all in for it.

Rowen Gale is a gamer, creator and uncle, now with custody of his adorable niece Phoebe. He's determined to make his company a success, and knows that he's not wired to have love in his life.

Penny Fennimore is an aspiring writer who takes a chance when her path crosses with a match-making nanny agent. She quickly falls for Phoebe and wants nothing but the best for her.

Rowen is an incredibly hot nerd, that was a wall around his heart. Penny is new to the tech world (she still owns a flip phone), and stumbles across a way to not only help with her own writers block, but assist Rowen with his latest project.

I highly enjoyed the refreshing honesty of Penny's gal pals, and can't wait for each of them to get their own story. I loved everything about this story, but wanted to slap the smile off her mothers face.

This book had me hooked from the start, leaving me craving pizza and chocolate chip cookies. Filled with tender moments, plenty of heat, and witty humor -- this is one you don't want to miss out on, no matter what genre you read!

SUMMARY:

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 cased 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?

The Kiss Keeper by Krista Sandor

💋💋💋💋💋

A first kiss might change your life! The Kiss Keeper is the ultimate second chance romance that will bring back all of your childhood memories of summer camp.

Natalie and Jake have more in common than they know. Their chemistry is undeniable, but with a fake relationship and secrets lurking around each corner, you'll be glued to each page to see how everything works out.

I especially enjoyed the dynamics in Natalie's family, and the nuns are a pure delight! This was the perfect escape from reality, with plenty of steam involved, and I'm not just referring to the lobster bake luau. I loved it from the first chapter and can't wait to read it again.

💋 Romance

SUMMARY:

Natalie Callahan is cursed. Out of luck. The family screw-up.

All thanks to a botched first kiss.

Sacked from her job and dumped by her boyfriend on the way to a week-long family celebration, she's desperate to prove she's not a train wreck. Only now, she needs someone to pose as her adoring significant other.

All seems lost until her path crosses with a sexy, stone-faced businessman who agrees to go along with her con.

Jake Teller is all about the deal. Dollars and cents beat love and commitment any day. When his boss entices him with a proposition that could set him up for life, he jumps at the opportunity. Even if it means he has to play the part of Natalie's boyfriend for a week.

But Jake's got a con of his own going -- a con that could cost Natalie everything.

Own the Eights by Krista Sandor

❤❤❤❤❤

Own the Eights is the hardest I've laughed in a long time! I recommend having an empty bladder and not consuming any food while reading this book...the consequences won't be pretty.

While Georgie and Jordan don't meet under the best circumstances, they're both willing to put their best foot forward to win a coveted prize, even if it means they have to work as a team.

This story had me rolling in laughter with almost every page. I personally would be a loyal follower of the "Own the Eights" blog if it actually existed. Such a creative and wonderful enemies-to-lovers story, I couldn't put it down!

😄 Comedy
 🔥 Steamy Romance

Summary:

Bookshop owner, Georgie Jensen, is done with shallow jerks. Her Own the Eights blog dishes out advice on how to steer clear of egotistical creeps only concerned with looks and status. Her focus is finding one's true soulmate - not the superficial ten but the solid, reliable eight.

Jordan Marks is the city's top fitness trainer who won't settle for anything less than the best. His blog promotes working hard, playing harder, and striving to always be - you guessed it - a ten.

When these two opposites are forced to team-up for an online competition, opinions clash and mouse pads fly.

The twist: there can only be one winner, and if Georgie wants to keep her shop open, that winner needs to be her.

But the more time this eight and this ten spend together, the more they learn that, when it comes to love, a number might not be what matters the most.

Man Find by Krista Sandor (Bergen Brothers #3)

🛶🛶🛶🛶🛶

Man Find had me holding my breath, while yelling the next minute! I love the Bergen Brothers, and if I thought for a second they were based on real people, I'd be moving to Colorado immediately.

Camden follows in the steps of his two brothers, blaming himself for their parents death. He's removed himself from his family for years and finally comes back home to find his mystery "Daisy", the one person who makes him feel like a human again.

Cadence lost her husband young and is left to raise their son Bodhi (this kid is the true hero of the book!) She finds a connection with "Mac" online, but knows nothing can really ever come of it.

The story pulls in the people they've both lost, to help the reader feel as though their meeting is orchestrated from above. I loved how they're tied in throughout the story, and never forgotten.

Cadence and Camden have a chemistry that's off the charts, and I will never be able to say I'm "doing laundry", with a straight face again. A beautiful tale of finding love after tremendous loss, and not giving up on your dreams.

I'm sad the Bergen Brothers stories have come to an end, but will definitely revisit this world again and again. While Man Find can be read as a stand alone, the characters you'll fall in love with in the previous books, will have a much deeper impact if you read them in order.

 💧 Drama
💋 Romance 

Summary:
An anonymous chat forum.

Two lonely people.

And the summer everything changed.

Camden Bergen is Colorado royalty. An heir to the Bergen Mountain Sports empire, he could have the world at his fingertips. Instead, he's shouldering the pain of his past, across the ocean, hidden away from everyone but his anonymous online friend known to him only as Mountain Daisy.

But that's about to change.

Cadence Lowry doesn't have time for distractions. Between teaching full time, raising her young son, and renovating two historic homes, her only escape is corresponding with her chat forum friend, Mountain Mac.

Love isn't on her radar until Camden mysteriously returns to Denver after a decade long absence and moves in next door.

It's only for the summer, but things don't stay neighborly for long.

Surrendering to an attraction they can't deny, they agree to a no strings attached steamy summer fling.

But when their hidden identities are revealed, will it be too late to salvage a love always meant to be?

Man Feast by Krista Sandor (Bergen Brothers #2)

💙💙💙💙💙

Jasper is my new favorite Bergen Brother and book boyfriend! Opposites definitely attract in this latest addition to the series, and they're hotter than magnets in the summer heat.

Elle Reynolds is a delight to watch throughout the story, having to deal with her own bumps in life, while not feeling she has to justify herself to anyone. I love her tenacity!

Jasper Bergen has a good head on his shoulders, and his heart's in the right place...he just goes about doing things in a brash manner.

The situations that Jasper and Elle find themselves in, will keep you laughing and put a blush on your cheeks. Filled with great chemistry and witty banter, the Bergen Brothers is quickly becoming one of my favorite series!

Man Fast by Krista Sandor (Bergen Brothers #1)

💛💛💛💛💛

A beautifully written tale of second chances, proving that everyone deserves a chance at forgiveness and redemption. I'm a sucker for a good playboy character, especially one that is doing it to avoid dealing with a tragic loss.

Brennen Bergen is the perfect guy you want to dislike, but you find yourself rooting for him to find his own happiness, even if it's with a girl he can't have.

Abby Quinn is done with men and wants to focus on her career after moving across the country for fresh start. Her interactions with the students, especially one little pyro in particular, had me laughing out loud on several occasions!

You're also introduced to the other Bergen siblings in this book, so you'll be left counting down the days until the next one in the series is released. A wonderful start to a new series, I can't wait for Man Feast!

Krista Sandor has the exact blend of comedy, romance and drama - with a touch of steam. I highly recommend starting this series, but be warned you won't be able to put it down.

I listened to Man Fast while driving to Denver, and it was the perfect backdrop, since that's where the story takes place. I'm not even ashamed to admit that I cried like a baby during a certain scene, but it was worth it!
