Thanks Netgalley for this ARC!
Burgess is a single dad who ends up falling for his nanny Tallulah.
The Au Pair Affair consisted of a few different tropes, all of which I adore; forced proximity, age gap, single dad… 10/10.
This book sent me on a bit of an emotional rollercoaster- the almost insta love, the 🌶️ tension, the love and protectiveness, and then the emotional turmoil towards the end 😩
By the end, I definitely felt like I wanted my own Mean Daddy bc 😤🫣

The Au Pair Affair by Tessa Bailey is a delightful rom-com hockey romance that skillfully blends tropes like an age gap and the hero falling first. The story follows Burgess, the charismatic hockey star, and Tallulah, the endearing live-in nanny. As their worlds collide, sparks fly, leading to a charming tale filled with humour, heart, and steamy moments.

This story not only explores the dynamics of an unlikely romance but also delves into the rich backgrounds of the characters. Burgess and Tallulah are vividly portrayed, each with their own quirks and vulnerabilities, making them incredibly relatable. The chemistry between them is palpable, and I found myself rooting for their relationship from the start.

Overall, The Au Pair Affair is a captivating read that kept me hooked from beginning to end. Fans of rom-coms and hockey romances will undoubtedly enjoy this novel. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a sweet, heartwarming story with a side of sizzle.

I have been dying to read this book since I read Fangirl Down a few months ago.
I instantly fell in love with Burgess and Tallulah in that book and desperately wanted to read their story.

I read this book so fast. I didn’t want to stop. From page one I was in it and just needed to know what happened next.

Super fun story and relatable characters. I really hope we’ll be getting Sig’s story next!

I needed to know about this couple after reading the first book in this series.

It’s super cute and steamy and pure escape reading which is what I was after. I like that we get an older male love interest here too.

Devoured this book! Tessa sure has a way with words!

Awesome plot follows the FMC as she gets a job being a nanny and falls for the dad

It’s funny,spicy it’s an all round great romance book!

Only bad thing and this nothing to do with the book it’s self is that it’s only readable on the NetGalley app and the font is so tiny it made for sore eyes after awhile
