Caught Up (Windy City)


Kai
I'm a single dad and starting pitcher for Chicago's MLB team.I'm stretched too thin, but I don't want help raising my son.
Each of his previous nannies only lasted a few weeks before I let them go.Now, my coach is putting his foot down by hiring the one person I can't fire-his daughter.
Miller Montgomery is the last woman I should fall for. Too wild, too young, and too unattached.
Chicago is just a quick stop for her. I thought I'd be counting down the days until she left, but summer feels too short when I start thinking about forever.

Miller
As a high-end pastry chef who recently won the most prestigious award in my industry, I'm desperate to prove I deserve it. But with a new title comes new pressure, and I can't create a fresh and inspiring dessert to save my life.
With only two months to get back on track, I should be focusing in the kitchen, but instead, I let my dad talk me into using my time off to nanny for his star player's kid.
Kai Rhodes forgot how to have fun, and I'm eager to jog his memory. But when he and his son start to feel like home, I have to remind us both that my time in Chicago ends with the summer.
Besides, I've always been a runner, and the last thing I want is to get caught.

Baseball Daddy indeed.

This was such an amazing story. I loved how Miller's character developed, how she found herself and her true passion and how her maternal instinct blossomed. Their love story, communication style and trust building was so beautifully written, it tugged on the heart strings. Being introduced to Kai in the other 2 books made him come off like a man who can get whoever he wants. Once Miller came into his life, the pull of how his son was drawn to her, how she stood her ground and didn't let him "fire" her like he did the other nannies just showed how truly embedded in his heart Miller was.

I loved how she was able to find her passion, still in baking, but on her terms. Millers need to continue to succeed and feel as if she was indebted to Monty was so heart breaking. Monty loves her, she is HIS daughter and she still felt like she owed him. Their dynamic and connection was beautiful.

Miller, Kai, Max and the rest of the characters were so well thought out, the love blossoming in this book, the heartache they both shared and the fact that they were both the missing pieces in each other's lives was truly so magical. Amazing and beautiful story. Oh and the SPICE! Get it!
