Eight Days a Week
Amber L Johnson
Summary:
Gwen Stone has secrets she’s not ready to reveal. After a recent promotion at work, she needs a caretaker for her children. She’s frenzied and in a lurch and pretty much ready to hire the first person who comes along. So she does.
Andrew Lyons needs to get out of his sister’s apartment, and a Craigslist posting may be the answer to his prayers. But what he thought was an ad for a room rental turns into a job offer he can’t refuse. Accepting the nanny position could change his life, if only he had a clue how to be a grownup.
A working mother, a shirtless manny who looks good in a towel, two children who need more than a babysitter, and hours of kids’ TV can only spell disaster for everyone involved.
Because a manny should always mind his own business.
And he definitely shouldn’t fall in love with his boss.
My thoughts on Eight Days a Week:
The entire time I was reading the ARC I was given, I was chuckling or outright laughing.
What happens when a woman has two children to take care of and receives a promotion at work? She puts an ad in Craigslist advertising for a live in nanny of course! Enter guy who just returned from Europe, sleeping on his sister’s couch, neither of them too happy with the arrangement.
Scanning Craigslist, he comes across an ad for what he thinks is a room for rent, he borrows a car to go check it out.
Andrew is met at the door by a very frazzled Gwen, she leads him into the house and he discovers what he thought was a room for rent was actually a job for a nanny for the two children.
Wanting to get to know Gwen better, and loving the room, he accepts the job.
What follows is sweet, sad, and hilarious. Dee meets two kids who don’t know how to be kids. As he becomes part of their lives, he starts to grow up and the kids start to be kids again.
Join in the fun as you traverse the world of daytime cartoons, get involved in the plots and schemes to run any male competition for Gwen’s attention running into the night and run around town in the “Celibacy Wagon” (or whatever we’re calling it at the time). Watch as the relationships unfold and grow, obstacles are overcome and a family is built.
As with any of Amber’s stories, you can’t go wrong with this read, it’s fast, fun and leaves you wanting to follow the characters for another few years.
