I loved this book. If it wasn't for pesky work, I would have read it in one sitting. Linebacker Seth moves himself and his moody 12 year old daughter from Texas to Wisconsin as he is now playing for a new team. He bumps into Carrie in the feminine product isle at the grocery store. Carrie is an out of work science teacher and comics nerd who ends up being the nanny for Seth's daughter. The chemistry and relationship those to have was so much fun to read. Seth's daughter Maddie "Mads" was the every pre-teen girl. I highly recommend.

This was a surprisingly good book. It was well written with good character development. The book was lighthearted, entertaining and, at times, very funny. I found myself being pulled into the book and I really wanted to get to know the characters' stories. It was an easy ready that I finished way too quickly! I liked the happily ever after but wish there could have been an epilogue to tie it up. Overall, an enjoyable book that I am glad I read.

This was my first time reading this author. Enjoyed the book. I really enjoyed how devoted the hero was to his daughter and the relationship was totally realistic. Having teenage daughters it can be a mind field and this depicted that. I enjoyed the chemistry between the hero and heroine. Had a super good meet-cute at the grocery store. I thought it drug a little bit in the middle with the will they-won’t they. If you’re a fan of sports romances which I am, I think you’ll enjoy this. NetGalley provides a copy for an honest review.

This is my first book by this author. It was a little hard for me to get into because it was written in third person. I’m not a fan of third person but I did enjoy some parts of the story. I liked that Seth was a single dad of a twelve year old, he’s a great dad. Carrie and Seth together didn’t really blow me away and I really wish there was an epilogue. That ending felt way too rushed.

Seth is an NFL superstar single dad who needs a nanny to care for his 12 year-old daughter when he's traveling for work. Carrie is an unemployed and unhappy ex-teacher who gets hired to be his nanny. It just so happens that they've already met before and been exchanging a few sexts prior to her interview. What could possibly go wrong?

I love a good quick and dirty romance novel with a happily ever after, I don't even hate instalove, but this was next level instalove. Their sexts were awkward instead of sexy and I honestly can't figure out what Seth liked about Carrie. I wanted to shake her and tell her to find her self worth in things other than her career and men. I wouldn't mind reading a book about Seth as a single dad though...that part was great.

This was a sweet romance that had me smiling way too hard and also didn't allow me to put it down for fear that I would miss out on anything!
Though it was such a fast-paced read, I felt it went great with the speed of Carrie and Seth's romance. I mean, who wouldn't immediately fall head over heels for a hot, well-built athlete?

I loved the way this book started out. The way the characters met was funny and realistic. I liked that Seth was a single dad and his life was built around his daughter. I thought the author did a great job in showing the reader what life is like as a parent to a tween and how difficult it can be. The chemistry between Liz and Seth was great and I was really rooting for them to be together, although hearing why they couldn't be together repeatedly did grow tiresome at times. I was also tired of the Poison Ivy references. I get it that comics are Carrie's thing and I dug her confidence, but it was brought up so frequently. I also had a small issue with the formatting of the book. At times it was hard to distinguish who's POV we were in. It was written in the 3rd person but sometimes it would switch between the characters without notice and it would be confusing. That may be something that is corrected before the book is published. Overall, I do recommend this book. The characters are great and relatable with a lot of chemistry.

Sports romances are one of my favorite tropes. This one hit all the right notes. There were enough football scenes. There was a nice level of steam and heat. There was some low-level angsty drama. Overall, this story had a nice pace and a believable plot.

My biggest complaint is how the book ended. I hated it.

Dear Liz Lincoln, please don't end Seth and Carrie's story this way. It was WAY too abrupt. It feels like we're lacking one or two more chapters, or an epilogue at the very least.

Who doesn’t love a single dad? Add to that tall, blonde and built that you just want to climb him like a tree. Oh and a major football player. We meet Seth Chamberlin at the grocery store purchasing female products for his daughter. He has an instant reaction to the hottie in the checkout line in front of him. So why not exchange numbers and see what happens.
Carrie Herron down on her luck. She has no job, no bed so to speak of and running low on money. The only bright side to her stop at the grocery store is the sexy man that happens to help her out when she seems to have misplaced her wallet. Carrie seems to hit the jackpot when the sexy man exchanges numbers with her.
Seth and Carrie start a steamy texting romance. But when they come face to face again, things head south fast. Not only is Carrie at Seth’s house for the Nanny job and a place to live but she realizes who he is. Carrie has no choice but to stop the sexy texting with Seth and take the job. She needs this job.
But will Seth and Carrie be able to forget about the attraction and pull that they feel for each other? And the texts? They have to do the best thing for Seth’s daughter; Seth being the father that she needs and Carrie being the Nanny to take care of her.
I enjoy the writing style of the author and the character development. I look forward to reading more from Liz Lincoln.

This is a new series for me and one I think I'll really enjoy. The characters were believable and well rounded and the ratio of sexy and sweet was perfect. It was a fun read and I'm interested in where the author will go next.

This book was funny at moments and quirky. I felt some scenes were forced, especially the climax. Other than that it was a lovely story.

It was an OK read worth reading it but it was just OK I enjoyed the football end of it but it was just bland for me others might enjoy it I guess I'd recommend it but like I said it was just OK I guess I'd give it three and half stars, I would read more from this author though. Thank you netgalley for loaning me this arc for an honest review and of course I was honest!

A new to me author but soooo happy that she is right in my backyard. Love a good sports romance! Throw in a single dad and a slow burn with some serious sexual tension. Hooked me in!

Loved the nerd, geek girl with the hots for an athlete trope. The book just clicked off so many boxes for me. Looking forward to meeting more of the Dragons team. I am not sure why on earth the author would plunk another NFL team into WI---but she's forgiven since she is a Packer's fan. We'll go with the flow on this one!

Great read!

Seth has been traded to the NFL team, the Milwaukee Dragons (sort of wish there was a team named the Dragon. The could play the L.A. Unicorns. But I digress). He has a meet cute with Carrie in the grocery store where he is trying to buy products for his twelve year old daughters first period. They exchange numbers and start to flirt text while he is out of town for work (Carrie has no clue what he does) and they plan on going out when he gets back. Carrie is a teacher who has been laid off and lost her apartment, so she is thrilled when her brother sets up an interview with his old college football buddy “Lainie” as a nanny. Of course, Seth Chamberlain is “Lainie”. What I liked about this was there was instant attraction, but the love took time to develop. I did wish that they had developed the relationship of the daughter Maddie, and Carrie more. I also wish that that an epilogue had been included. If you want a fun sports/single dad romance, this is worth a read.

I look forward to the next installment in the series.

I received an ARC of this book for my honest review.

Single dad needs a nanny housekeeper for his 12 year old daughter while his football season keeps him away from home. This story is set up very fun and you see where it's going and it's a giggle to see how it plays out.

Seth is a great father making up for Maddie's awful birth mother. Carrie needs a job and a place to live stat. How the two come together is fun.

It's an enjoyable read. It's not overwhelmed with football jargon but you get an understanding of his position on the team, his capabilities, and his wearing injuries week to week. Equally to the story is Carrie who still flounders with her career but steadily she's discovering her direction.

Maddie is a typical 12 year who is fairly balanced. Her dad can at times overcompensate her awful mom with guilty spoiling but she's still portrayed fairly as a pretty smart loving 12 year old.

It's a fabulous read.

This was an okay book. I liked the story but it wasn't amazing; for some reason, I wasn't able to connect with the characters.
The comic book stuff was fun; it made this story different.
All the sports parts were a bit dull but I just skipped them.

I disagree with some of the other reviews on here for this story… I loved it! To me, I felt it had everything I look for in a good romance book. The only part I did like would be the very beginning. In the first few pages Carrie and Seth meet in the checkout line of the grocery store – I felt it was too sudden. I feel like the first few pages should have started with Carrie shopping and maybe thinking about her rough day before she got into line and then met Seth.
Anyways, they have instant attraction. And then some flirt texts.
Carrie has been laid off her job and running out of money so she has her brother set up a nanny job for her with one of his college buddies. Yep, you guessed it… Seth’s nanny for his little girl. Only, they don’t know who they are meeting since they have never met and Carrie’s brother calls Seth a nickname. Imagine the surprise on their faces when Carrie sees Seth open the door.
This is the first book I have read by this author and it is the first book in this series.

Seth uproots his daughter from her familiar home and grandparents in order to continue to play pro football. This move is rough on her and he needs to find a nanny who Maddie gets along with and one he can trust. Carrie can’t find a teaching job so she applies for a nanny position. She never expected the parent to be the hot man she helped find pads, not tampons, for his daughter’s first period at the grocery store. The characters’ chemistry is great, and you want them to get their happily ever after, but will Maddie stop the relationship forever?

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced reading of this novel. I love sports and I love a good romance novel, so these played together perfectly for me. It kept my attention and kept me wanting to know more!

After an awful day, Carrie is standing at the checkout at the supermarket when she realizes she has no wallet for her groceries. The stunning blond long-haired man behind her comes to her rescue and picks up paying for her groceries. Seth is a single father buying intimate items for his daughter. Carrie comes to his rescue with some much needed advice. After exchanging phone numbers, a flirtation begins.

Little does Carrie realize, but Seth will be re-entering her life and not in the way she expected. Carrie becomes Seth's nanny for his daughter and they decide that they have to ignore their attraction to each other. This is much easier said than done and the results are definitely steamy.

I really liked this book. You got a great sense of both main characters. Not only do you realize that ignoring Seth and all his hunkiness is hard on Carrie, but also that Seth is having the same issue ignoring his attraction to Carrie. Seeing the lengths that Seth was willing to go for his daughter's well-being melted my heart.

I think this is a great beginning to a new series and I look forward to move books from this author.
