My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Unbearably awkward and strangled by his anxiety disorder, Giles Ashby used surly snarls and abrupt remarks to keep everyone at a distance. As a result and surprising no one, he finds himself divorced and overwhelmed by the demands of parenting nine-year-old Milo - a shy, awkward clone of his father. Not wanting Milo to struggle through life the way he has, Giles enlists the help of Reid Marshall’s new nanny agency. Reid sends Giles’s childhood crush, Riley Fitzgerald. Still smitten and as flustered as he was in middle school, Giles bungles every encounter with the “new” nanny. But sweet, clever, outgoing Riley is exactly what Milo needs. Riley thinks he knows what he’s getting into when he accepts a position working for his childhood nemesis, but Milo steals his heart the moment they meet. And “Giles the Jerk” isn’t as bad as Riley remembers because he sees Giles facing his fears to help Milo survive the fourth grade and win the science fair. Can Riley trust his heart, when all his past relationships have been cursed? Could this time be any different?
I loved this story and Riley turned into Gile's protector and enabler so that he can go out and help Milo with the science fair. I loved how awkward Giles was around Riley and how everyone worked to help bring the two men together. I love that there is a constant in these stories as that awful woman tries throwing her nephew Jonathan at wealthy men. A lot of feelings and emotions in this story which are both historical and present-day. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.
