4 Stars
Sarah, an au pair (Nanny) from Australia, always dreamt of visiting New York City. Jumping at a chance of a lifetime, Sarah relocates to New York City to interview and possibly work as an au pair for the Worthingtons', an affluent New York family.
The Worthingtons' are full of soap opera like drama and secrets, and are a mixed bag of personalities.
Ben, the father of baby Grace, came across as guarded, unemotional, and very serious with the weight of the world on his shoulders.
Dominique (Nikki), Ben's sister, was relatable, down to earth, fun and heavily pregnant with her fifth child. Nikki calls it as she sees it and didn't conform to the mold of a privileged and wealthy person.
Emily, Ben's sister and Penny, Ben's mother appear to be cut from the same cloth, snobbish, and all the other stereotypes of the wealthy.
Alistair, Ben's brother came across as a free spirit, very likable, until we find out that he really isn't and is a spoiled and selfish character. It seemed as though everyone was afraid to talk to Alistair about his behavior (past and present) and have him experience the consequences, instead the family tidies up his messes, sweeping them under the rug.
Though Sarah visits only a few places in New York City, you are right along with her as she experiences it for the first time.
I liked that Sarah stayed true to who she was, she really followed her heart and was patient with Ben as he learned to open up and become more hands on with baby Grace and more human like and she stood up to Penny not changing to suit Penny nor her views on what an au pair should be like.
All in all, though I preferred reading "Paris Lights," "New York Nights" wasn't so bad. The writing was good but sometimes seemed to drag on, the secret was underwhelming, and the connection between Ben and Sarah was just eh for me. I look forward to reading more from this author.
Not all is as it appears
Second book in the A Heart of the City Romance series takes us to New York where Aussie nanny Sarah is hired to take care of widower Ben's daughter. All is not as it seems with the Worthington family with plenty of skeletons in their closets.
A quick and easy read that kept me entertained. Twists and turns I didn't see coming add to the telling of this tale.
Honest Review
I don't know how this book got 4 or 5 stars. It was a lousy story that made zero sense. Isn't it an au pair supposed to watch the child while the parent works? Why is she complaining so much? Is Alistar just a bad person or was he making amends? This book ends so ubruptly that it made no sense.
