Author: Staci Hart
Release Date: October 24, 2017
MY RATING: 5 STARS
I wasn't supposed to fall in love with the nanny.
When my wife left, she took the illusion of happiness with her, and I've been caught in a free fall ever since. For nine long months, I've been fighting to figure out how to be a single dad, how to be alone.
For nine long months, I've been failing.
When Hannah walked through the door, I took my first breath since I'd found myself on my own. She slipped into our lives effortlessly, showing me what I've been missing all these years. Because Hannah made me smile when I thought I'd packed the notion of happiness away with my wedding album.
She was only supposed to be the nanny, but she's so much more.
The day my wife left should have been the worst day of my life, but it wasn't. It was when Hannah walked away, taking my heart with her.
This was my first-ever Staci Hart book and it will not, cannot, be my last. This book just about tore my heart to shreds and then pieced it back together with every bit of reverence and romance capable. Every bit of Charlie and Hannah together and as individuals drew me in and wrapped me a perfectly incandescent reader bubble that I never wanted to leave.
This book had something almost ethereal about it. It was sweet and soft, with dark and intense moments woven through it, that just captured my heart. Staci Hart has clearly found the weapon she excels at the most, and that's with her words, with the characters she creates, and the books she places in readers hands that I'm sure all like A LITTLE TOO LATE offer so much to consume that they leave readers in funks for days.
Charlie and Hannah's story is no exception to any of those sentiments, and without a doubt is one of the most emotional and heart-wrenching stories I've read all year. A true must-read.
Happy Reading!

Staci has been a lot of things up to this point in her life -- a graphic designer, an entrepreneur, a seamstress, a clothing and handbag designer, a waitress. Can't forget that. She's also been a mom, with three little girls who are sure to grow up to break a number of hearts. She's been a wife, though she's certainly not the cleanest, or the best cook. She's also super, duper fun at a party, especially if she's been drinking whiskey.
From roots in Houston to a seven year stint in Southern California, Staci and her family ended up settling somewhere in between and equally north, in Denver. They are new enough that snow is still magical. When she's not writing, she's reading, sleeping, gaming, or designing graphics.
Just bought it! Thanks for featuring.
