Description from the publisher:
Vera Woods is at her wit’s end.

Her husband has run off with the nanny, leaving Vera with a broken heart, three very angry sons, and even less time to juggle the demands of family and her career.  After her boys scare away a sixth replacement nanny, Vera is out of time off from work and desperately out of options.  Still nursing an aching heart, she turns to an unlikely source for help―a manny.

Lincoln Scott is no stranger to family chaos.  But rather than grow jaded, he has thrown his natural talents into building his own business―providing live-in childcare for families as a manny.  The money is great and the perks are a blast, but when his family of six years moves to Germany and their plans to bring him along fall through, Lincoln is suddenly unemployed and aware of how much of himself he’s given to other people’s families.

Brought together by circumstances, Lincoln and Vera’s mutually beneficial business arrangement becomes complicated by the undeniable chemistry they share.  Vera needs a manny and Lincoln needs a job, but they both may have found the very thing neither one had realized they needed―a whole lot more.
****
Misadventures is a romantic series of spicy standalone novels, each written or co-written by some of the best names in romance.  The stories are scandalous, refreshing, and, of course, incredibly sexy.  They’re the perfect bedside read, a ‘quick blush’ for the reader who loves a page-turning romance.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MISADVENTURES WITH A MANNY is the sixteenth book in the Misadventures series.  They each stand completely on their own.

From the very first page, I was drawn to Vera.  I understand her pain.  I’ve been there (though she wasn’t a nanny).  Vera is shy, but don’t mistake that for a lack of strength.  She is a wonderful mom, worker, and woman – in that order.  Her priorities are questioned by those around her, but those priorities have given her and her family the good life they have.

The relationship between Vera and Lincoln is fun and flirty.  I love the suspense of them both denying the draw between them until it cannot be refused.  There is also the undeniable sweetness of Vera finding her HEA in the arms of her manny, when she was left by the cheating ex for the previous nanny – Karmic revenge at its finest!

The secondary characters really add to the story.  Lincoln’s best friend, Phillip, and Vera’s sister, Riana, are married.  I spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to find the book that is their story.  If someone knows, please clue me in!

I loved this addition to the Misadventures series and I’m looking forward to many more!

This is the first book I have read from Toni Aleo and that makes me sad.  I want!!
