Loved the third part to this series. Single dad trope with the hot nanny. Usually overdone but it had some cute twists. 8/10

4.25 ⭐️ This one was super cute. I definitely still like Cinnamon Bun Book Store the best, but this is a close second. I was a little nervous about the single dad, nanny trope... but it didn't feel like it was the same as all the others. I, of course, wasn't at all surprised when Iris got pregnant, bc of course she did, lol. I do feel like some people will say you can change the name to any other book with the same tropes, and I get it...but I liked this one. I like the whole series so I'm not hard to impress lol. If you're looking for a cute, easy read then this is for you. There's minimal spice also. And it's kind of vanilla so I couldn't even tell you how many scenes lol. Maybe 2? Three at the most. Either way, it's a cute little read that you could easily tackle in one sitting if you wanted to.
