Reviewed by Helen
I am really enjoying this series although they definitely can be read as stand alones, in this story we meet Aussie girl Sarah Williams whose dream has always been to go to New York but she ends working as an au pair in her small country town but things look up when she makes it to Manhattan New York to take on a position of au pair there and boy is her life about to change.
Ben Worthington might be rich, handsome and have a beautiful daughter as well as a couple of homes but he also has secrets that cause anguish and heartache and pain and a family that help keep these secrets. But when he meets this Aussie girl Sarah something grabs and he hires her on the spot to look after his baby daughter Grace. Is Ben about to meet his match someone who will stand up to him?
Sarah is gobsmacked at the hurdles she has to go through for this job but you know here she is in the place she has always wanted to be surely life is going to be good to her but Ben is a hard man to talk to and she is not overly impressed with his parenting skills or his mother for that matter but she is determined to get things done and done properly but she needs to keep control of that spark that is lighting up her life.
This is a story that will have you laughing smiling and jumping up and down I loved both Sarah and Ben but there were times I could have yelled at them their journey to a HEA is a rocky one but so worth it in the end. MS Duggan made me feel like I was there in New York with Sarah the setting and descriptions bought a lot of TV shows to life for me also. I did very much enjoy this story it let me feeling very good and look forward to the next one.
