REVIEW~ MY MR MANNY By Jennifer Garcia
This ultimate HEA is the perfect cure for a book hangover! So, if you're a bit emotionally exhausted, but still need something to read, this is the book for you.
Mia Balducci misses her childhood days and yearns for the big, Italian family that she left behind in small town Massachusetts.
At the tender age of sixteen, Mia moves with her bachelor father to Los Angeles, but no matter how many years pass, it never becomes home to her. The years spent living with her father aren’t easy, especially since she can’t stop thinking about what she once had.
Her enrollment in the University of Southern California promises to bring exciting changes to her life, but Mia winds up with big problems instead. When she runs into an old friend from her old hometown of Winthrop, she gets swept up in nostalgia, and she soon loses herself in a quickly-progressing romance.
When the fantasy falls apart, she is left to raise her precious little girl, Lucia, on her own. The demands of Mia’s work schedule and Lucia’s needs increase, and their lives become increasingly hectic. It is soon clear to Mia that she needs help. Luckily, her life-saving cousin saves the day and brings the mother and daughter a male nanny – their new “manny.”
After losing his high-pressure job on Wall Street, Dominic Roberts wants to follow his dreams to have a family. He’s already one fiancée down, and there are no likely prospects for another. In order to find the family he so desperately wants, he finds himself getting into the manny business. Since he is fully qualified to provide child care and is eager to leave New York City behind, his sister-in-law is able to land him a job in California working for his first client – the beautiful and intriguing Mia Balducci. Will Lucia like the new man in her mother's life? Will Mia? And will this new trio discover the happily ever after they all so desperately seek?
Mia moves away from her childhood home and moves in with her Dad at the age of 16. She attends uni where she meets a friend from her past. Mia marries and has a child unfortunately things don't work out with her Hubby, and she finds herself alone with her daughter. Being a single working mother is hectic for Mia so she hires a male nanny. Enter Dominic, he did work on Wall Street but has decided to be a Manny( a male nanny.) Dominic wants a family, he was engaged but things didn't work out. Mia is his first client and her and her daughter Lucia are like a little made family. Mia and Dominic have an instant attraction and connection, will they have their HEA? I liked the idea of a male nanny and have not read a book like this. It was nice how Mia and Dominic got to know each other before jumping into bed, although Dominic sounds so hot I would have jumped right into his bed!!! The characters are all well developed, Lucia is very sweet. The story is told by Mia ,it would have been nice to have Alex's POV and also Dominic's. It is a sweet romantic book,no steamy sex scenes, just a light, fluffy, enjoyable read.

Jennifer Garcia’s lifelong love for reading and writing was put aside for many years while she made her way in the world and nurtured her young family. Originally from Boston, she currently resides in Los Angeles with her husband, two sons, and two dogs. Even though she is older, and life never seems to settle, she’s finding her way while attending college full-time in pursuit of a B.A. in English Literature. She also runs a business, and is still caring for her family. Believing she can do it all, with the help of her family, she worked on her first novel during the late hours of the night while balancing the rest of her life during the day. Her hard work paid off, as her first novel, My Mr. Manny, was released August 2013 and her first novella, In My Mother’s Footsteps, was released July 2013.
Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. :D
