I read this book when it first came out. It's a fun book but it is an acquired taste. Read this review and see if it's something that interests you before buying. I've tried to make it as spoiler free as possible, yet give you the info you need to decide whether it's something you'd like. The cover and title give you a big hint themselves.
Two super-hot daddies for one sweet, sexy girl. ELERI Working as a nanny in an exclusive London borough for two bisexual alphas is my dream job. Except Gabe and Luke are so freaking hot they’re making me think dirty thoughts. I can’t have them, though… it would be totally outta line. And they couldn’t possibly be interested in a twenty-two-year-old virgin like me. I’ll have to find someone else to punch my V card, right? Yeah, right… GABE AND LUKE Sweet, innocent Eleri doesn’t realize how cute she is. Like a breath of fresh air, a ray of sunshine, and every other cliché you can think of. She’s also sexy as f*ck, tempting as sin, and trouble with a big T. We wanna pop her cherry and make her ours. We know it’s wrong, she’s our kids’ nanny, but it feels so frigging right. It’s not like we’re gonna fall for her… not like she’s gonna fall for us either. Just a bit of fun… nothing more, nothing less. Until it isn’t…

Luke and Gabe are a happily married couple who need to find a new nanny for their boys. Being bisexual, they want to find someone that they won’t be attracted to as they don’t want the complications. When they spot Eleri on the nanny agency website they think they’ve found the one, she has the experience and knowledge they’re looking for and her picture lets them know they won’t be interested in her sexually. That is until she arrives, and they realise her picture didn’t do her justice. They decide to stay away from her, not only would it complicate things but it would be unethical. That is, until one night when Eleri is endangered and they all let their guards down and plans are put into motion to help Eleri explore her sexuality safely and Luke and Gabe get to have some fun too. But what happens when that fun becomes something else, something stronger? And will it all be taken away?
S.C. Daiko has written a very sexy story about a polyamorous relationship and handles it brilliantly, showcasing how beautiful a relationship can be, and the subject of love is love regardless of who is doing the loving. I very much loved that about this book. Eleri is sweet and innocent, Luke and Gabe are not innocent, but they are sweet. I loved their relationship with each other. The story was heart-warming and attention-grabbing. It had me swooning in parts, laughing out loud and sighing. I may have shed a tear or two..but shush, let's just keep that between us. My only thing about the story that I sort of struggled with was towards the end when something happens involving the children and I didn’t feel like Gabe and Luke’s reactions were strong enough. I guess I wanted anger and emotion or something and it just lacked it for me. Of course, as always, that’s just personal taste.
This book is full of characters that you’ll just fall in love with. They’re each so different but so charming. The way Gabe and Luke know each other so well and their opposite attracts appeal is very endearing.
Luke is a sweetheart, to everyone. You know from the get-go that he’s interested in Eleri but he controls himself, the love he has for Gabe just shines through. He is a light-hearted guy that likes to enjoy himself. Even his job is fun. He dominant but not as much as Gabe. He had me chuckling more than once in this book.
I loved Gabe so much. He’s the upper-class British gent that is pretty stern, he works for a law firm and he has his ways and likes it, he’s not looking for a change and is the more dominant of the two men. But seeing the change in him is wonderful to experience as he becomes accustomed to letting a woman into his life and heart.
Eleri is such a sweet girl, so innocent. Her attraction to Gabe and Luke is instant but she tries to hide it and not let it affect her job. I think she was also a very brave woman and we don’t see that nearly enough. She goes through quite the transition in this book and it is lovely to watch that change from sweet girl to sexual woman.
The children are so freaking adorable, I just loved them. As a former nanny, this story called to me…no, before you ask nothing like this ever happened to me, sheesh, get your mind out of the gutter! The kids really added another layer to this story, a sweet layer that I think worked really well.
So, this book contains a lot of sex, and I do mean a lot. I’m talking MM, MMF, and MFM. If that isn’t your thing, you probably won’t like this book and would be better off passing it by. The scenes are written incredibly well and will definitely make you hot under the collar, especially with Hugo in your ears. I spent a fair about of this book blushing, I kid you not. However, it felt very organic to the characters and the story, what I mean by that, is that it didn’t feel like the author sat there and said ‘oh, this book doesn’t have enough sex, I best squeeze a few more in’ instead it felt like it’s what the characters would have done and wanted. If that makes any sense to anyone but me, I don’t know lol.
This was my first listen from Hugo Wylde and I don’t think it will be my last. The narration was enjoyable and having already read the book I knew what to expect from the story. He really brought these characters to life. I liked Luke and Gabe as characters, but Hugo’s performance really made them stand out and I enjoyed them even more. I was on the fence about Eleri, I’d be the first to say that when I heard the audiobook was in production that I felt a female narrator should have been used for her chapters, however, Hugo blew me away with his performance, I think if I had to pick just one character he was exceptional with then Eleri would get my vote. The range of voices and accents in this book is handled really well and each character sounded unique, I never struggled to wonder who was being performed. Hugo performed upper-class British, Welsh, Yorkshire and middle-class British with ease.
The overall production was well done. One small line repeats once in chapter 18 and the chapter headers for Gabe seemed more drawn out than necessary, especially as it was only in the chapter points and at no other time. The silence between chapters was longer than I’m used to, and I did keep checking at the beginning to see if my app had turned itself off but I did get used to it.
