Let me count the ways why falling into forbidden love is not
my wisest move...
1. She works with me every single day.
Did I mention she's gorgeous, sweet, kind and smart?
2. She works in my home.
Playing with my five-year-old daughter. Teaching my little
girl. Cooking for my princess. Which means...
3. She's the nanny.
And that makes her completely off-limits...But it doesn't
stop me from wanting her. All of her.
***
The other nannies in this city don't call him the Sexy One
for nothing. My boss, the amazingly wonderful single father to the girl I take
care of every day is ridiculously hot, like movie star levels with those arms,
and those eyes, and that body. Not to mention, the way he dotes on his little
girl melts me all over. But what really makes my knees weak are the times when
his gaze lingers on me. In secret. When no one else is around.
I can't risk my job for a chance at something more...can I?
But I don't know how to resist him much longer either...
With all the heat, heart and humor readers have come to
expect, this newest standalone will make you laugh, swoon and feel like you're
falling in love!
Anything written by Lauren Blakely is an instant love affair with my brain. The Sexy One is even more so.
The sweetness of this book makes my teeth hurt. Abby and Simon are the couple that you want to hang out with, yet want to hate. Who you want to be, yet secretly make fun of (because, well .. jealousy).
Abby is a nanny to the most incredible little 5 year old, Hayden. She is sweet, sassy and loves her daddy like no other. Abby has felt a tug at her heart at the mention of Simon, her boss .. although she knows that this is a line that cannot be crossed. Abby values her job and her relationship with Hayden, way too much to risk it for a quick romp in the bedroom.
Simon's entire world consists of his sweet little girl Hayden, who pulls at his heart strings. Being an ex-workaholic, he knows the value of family and what can happen if he pushes her to the side. This is why he searched and searched, until he found the perfect nanny. Abby walked into their lives and it has never been the same. His biggest accomplishment was introducing her into their lives and making it flow so well. He would never risk losing that connection with a kiss. With unnecessary emotions. Simon would rather go without love, than losing the perfect companion for his daughter....or would he?
You just have to pick up a copy of The Sexy One and see how this story unfolds. The way that the lives of Simon, Hayden and Abby become intertwined. It is beautiful. I adore the way the characters are written and how they try hard to keep their focus on Hayden and her best interests. I absolutely love the way that Lauren writes and will always continue to fan-girl over her and her works of art.
Happy Reading!

This man can kiss. His lips taste so good as he kisses me
with a tenderness and a hunger that’s entirely new in my experience.
This kiss vibrates and spreads through my entire body, as if
I’ve been shot full of liquid beauty, like gold and silver flow through my
veins. He slides his tongue across mine, and I want to grab him, straddle him,
and just kiss the daylights out of him, even in this crazy, dangerous cab.
I hardly care that our first kiss isn’t on a moonlit balcony
or under the stars. This kiss was inevitable, especially after the last few
nights, all these days, and then this afternoon.
All our moments have been
marching to this as Simon kisses me with such reverence that I want to melt
into him. I rope my fingers through his soft hair, and I truly can’t believe
I’m making out with Simon Travers in the back of a cab after we watched a
documentary on zebras.
I wish I could say that alarms sound, telling me how risky
it is to kiss the man I work for. But all I hear is the rapid beat of my heart,
leading me closer to him.
Simon runs his thumb along my cheek, and that soft touch
makes me tremble. Somehow I wriggle closer, my breasts pressed to his firm
chest. He groans. It’s carnal and masculine, almost like a warning. But neither
one of us heeds it. We simply can’t stop. We’re those people. The kind who go
crazy in public. I feel insane right now. Crazy and wild and reckless.
His hands are on my face, then my hair, and then the back of
my head. He is all heat and passion. The way his lips sweep over mine, the way
his tongue explores my mouth, and most of all, the way he holds me—it all makes
me want to grab those strong shoulders of his and slam him down on top of my
body. I want to feel him slide my wrists over my head, pin them, and then
smother me in kisses everywhere. I want to let go beneath his mouth, arch into
him, urge him to explore my body the way he seems to want to.
The car jerks to a stop.
Abruptly, we separate, but only slightly.
He blinks and breathes out hard as he glances around. We’re
all the way in Columbus Circle. Holy shit. We kissed for blocks upon blocks.
My lips miss his. I thread my hand into his hair. “We
shouldn’t do this,” I say, though it hardly sounds like a protest as his hair
falls through my fingers.
His eyes float closed, and his mouth is open, his breath
coming in harsh pants. “We definitely shouldn’t do this,” he says, his voice
low and smoky as he sighs deeply at my touch.
“You’re my boss,” I say, pointing out the obvious.
“You’re my—”
Whatever he was going to say next is cut off when he brushes
his lips against my forehead, then over my face, dusting my cheek, my eyelids,
my jawline.
My skin sizzles. My stomach flips. I want to live inside
this kiss. “Don’t stop,” I murmur as his lips mark me.
He travels to my neck, and I tilt my head to the side. He
layers kisses all along the column of my throat, the delicious mix of his rough
stubble and his soft lips sending sparks to my very core. My body is hungry,
eager for him, and I’m going to need a new word for want because what I feel
for Simon is so much more than that.
It’s yearning. It’s non-negotiable. I have to have him.
“I don’t know that I can stop with you, Abby,” he whispers,
and my name falling from his lips is exquisite and sensual.
In it, I hear his complete and utter need for me, and it’s
thrilling—because it matches my heart. It matches my body, too.
