Caught Up

Kai

I’m a single dad and starting pitcher for Chicago’s MLB team.

I’m stretched too thin, but I don’t want help raising my son.

Each of his previous nannies only lasted a few weeks before I let them go.

Now, my coach is putting his foot down by hiring the one person I can’t fire—his daughter.

Miller Montgomery is the last woman I should fall for. Too wild, too young, and too unattached. Chicago is just a quick stop for her. I thought I’d be counting down the days until she left, but summer feels too short when I start thinking about forever.

Miller

As a high-end pastry chef who recently won the most prestigious award in my industry, I’m desperate to prove I deserve it. But with a new title comes new pressure, and I can’t create a fresh and inspiring dessert to save my life.

With only two months to get back on track, I should be focusing in the kitchen, but instead, I let my dad talk me into using my time off to nanny for his star player’s kid.

Kai Rhodes forgot how to have fun, and I’m eager to jog his memory. But when he and his son start to feel like home, I have to remind us both that my time in Chicago ends with the summer.

Besides, I’ve always been a runner, and the last thing I want is to get caught.

The best kind of books are where you feel like the main characters are real – you feel genuinely for them, happy or heartbreaking.

This was one of those books.

Not only is this a romance book, but also one about healing. Kai & Miller both support one another in the ways that they need, and help them heal from their pasts. They also balance each other out perfectly 🥰

She SEES him. Immediately. What he really wants and needs. And he sees her too. Beyond what she puts out in the world.

I really fell so in love with all 3 of these main characters – (baby) Max is definitely such an integral part of the story 🥹
The banter was spot on, I love the dynamic between Miller & Kai.
