“Shh,” he soothes, his hand reaching to cup my jaw as his thumb presses against my lips. “Be good, Cassie. You have to be good so I can fuck you.”
“You might be the only person in this city who has a real shot at handling my daughter,” he says. “I don’t think I can let you leave, sorry.”
Aiden
Her smile really is . .. very pretty. It usually tilts on one side first, like she’s thinking about it, but then the other lifts to join it as she grins in earnest. It makes it hard not to look when she smiles like that.
Aiden
— Story Synopsis —
A woman discovers the father of the child she is nannying may be her biggest (Only)Fan in this steamy contemporary romance by Lana Ferguson.
After losing her job and being on the brink of eviction, Cassie Evans finds herself with two choices: get a new job (and fast) or fire up her long-untouched OnlyFans account. But there are no jobs to be found, and as for OnlyFans. . . . Well, there are reasons she can’t go back. Just when all hope seems lost, an ad for a live-in nanny position seems the solution to all her problems. It’s almost too perfect—until she meets her would-be employer.
Aiden Reid, executive chef and DILF extraordinaire is far from the stuffy single dad Cassie was imagining. She is shocked when he tells her she’s the most qualified applicant he’s met in weeks, practically begging her to take the job. With hands that make her hindbrain howl and eyes that scream sex, the idea of living under the same roof as Aiden feels dangerous, but with no other option, she decides to stay with him and his adorably tenacious daughter, Sophie.
Cassie soon discovers that Aiden is not a stranger at all, but instead someone who is very familiar with her—or at least, her body. She finds herself at a loss for what to do, given that he doesn’t remember her. As their relationship heats to temperatures hotter than any kitchen Aiden has ever worked in, Cassie struggles with telling Aiden the truth, and the more terrifying possibility—losing the best chance at happiness she’s ever had.
Overall rating: ⭐️⭐️/5
— My Thoughts —
No… I’m sorry, but I couldn’t find it in me to enjoy this book 😭 I really tried 😭
I thought the premise and story idea were pretty interesting. But for some reason, the execution wasn’t great. I was expecting some really good slow burn but it didn’t reflect in the writing. Maybe the chef thing wasn’t going for me 😅
From the beginning, I couldn’t sense the characters’ attraction and chemistry. All the dialogue felt quite repetitive and dragged out. With the lack of chemistry came boredom and I didn’t find myself caring about whether the characters liked each other or whether they were struggling with any personal issues.
From 48% onwards, it’s just a lot of sex scenes and it was getting really boring. I just wanted some progress in the plot without the spicy scenes 😫 I kept saying in my head, “GIRL, TALK TO HIM!” The way the conflict was resolved also felt underwhelming. After every small conversation, it’s just sex. It literally got to the point where I was skimming past chapters because there was no chemistry between the two characters.
The only character I like in this book is Sophie. She’s a little sassy child and I love her. I don’t know about other readers, but I hoped Lily got custody of her 🙂
In conclusion, it was underwhelming 😅 I think booktok had me expecting more from this book, but I didn’t enjoy it. Perhaps it’ll be different for you!

Dear Naomi,
I have an idea. If we’re still single by the time we’re both twenty-five, let’s get married. What do you think?
Love, Luca
