The Au Pair Affair (Big Shots, #2)

Tessa Bailey

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

A sports rom-com about a burly, surly, single dad who falls head-over-hockey-stick for his quirky live-in nanny... 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.

    Tallulah is a grad student who agreed on a whim to be a live in au pair for hockey player Burgess's daughter. But when she sees him take out the nose of a competitor on the ice with his elbow, she's not sure that she can go through with it. Eventually, he is able to convince her to move in. What he doesn't tell her is that he's been drawn to her even since they first met. Tallulah is skittish because of an issue she had with an ex. Can Burgess convince her to take a chance on him? And can Tallulah convince Burgess there is life after hockey?

    This is really a slow burn and there were times I was like, c'mon, just kiss already!! But when these two take off? whew, baby. The conflicts in the story take a long time to resolve and these two never really talk things out; they start then fall into making out or whatever. While it took a long time, the resolution was cute, though.
