He needs a nanny not a submissive…

Aaron Gibson is struggling with his many hats—single dad, business owner, Dom. His desperate search for a suitable nanny for his daughter Sunshine grinds to a halt when Jordan Carole walks into his office. This inked biker is certainly not your ordinary kind of nanny, but the man’s instant rapport with his daughter convinces Aaron that Jordan is perfect for the job.

All Aaron has to do is keep his hands off his nanny—simple, right? Well, it would be if the two men could ignore the combustible, sexual tension between them. Jordan wants nothing more than to be allowed to take care of his new boss and his adorable baby. If only he could convince the stubborn man that Sunshine and Love is all they need.

What a delightful little story!  Doris O’Connor never disappoints me.  Every book she writes steals a piece of my heart…whether it’s MF, MFM, MMF, or MM.  Her characters are always engrossing, and they make you want to know them better with every page.  They’re strong, and sweet, and always sexy.

With “Sunshine and Love”, we have Aaron.  He’s a single dad to an adorable baby girl named Sunshine.  The baby’s mother has died, and he’s on his own. He runs a company, and he’s having a difficult time balancing his time.  He’s also gay (Sunshine’s Mommy was Aaron’s best friend.).  He needs a nanny, and the sooner, the better.  Thanks to Sunshine’s aunt, Jordan comes to interview for the position, surprising Aaron because he’d not realized that Jordan was a man.  However, Sunsine takes to Jordan immediately, and it’s obvious that Jordan is just as taken with her.  I guess I should mention that Jordan is gay as well…and a bit on the submissive side.

It all takes off from there.  Aaron and Jordan are instantly attracted to one another, and there is quite a bit of sexual tension between them.  Aaron is afraid to act, but Jordan falls in love and wants to be a family.  Their relationship develops quickly, but that’s just fine.  The book isn’t very long, so it has to happen that way.  It didn’t feel rushed to me, though.  Sometimes, it’s obvious that you’ve met THE ONE, even if it’s damn near instant.  Jordan is pretty laid back and balances Aaron’s type A personality.  Their chemistry is hot, and when they finally come together, the sex is intense!  Aaron is a Dom and recognizes that Jordan is the perfect sub for him.  It’s all just perfect.

I loved “Sunshine and Love”.  It was a wonderful way to spend an evening, and my heart felt full when I hit the end.  I highly recommend you pick this one up.  Gay or straight, love is love, and this story is full of that.

About Doris O’Connor

Glutton for punishment would be a good description for Doris… at least that’s what she hears on an almost daily basis when people find out that she has a brood of nine children, ranging from adult to toddler and lives happily in a far too small house, cluttered with children, pets, dust bunnies, and one very understanding and supportive husband. Domestic goddess she is not.

There is always something better to do after all, like working on the latest manuscript and trying not to scare the locals even more than usual by talking out loud to the voices in her head. Her characters tend to be pretty insistent to get their stories told, and you will find Doris burning the midnight oil on a regular basis. Only time to get any peace and quiet and besides, sleep is for wimps.

She likes to spin sensual, sassy, and sexy tales involving alpha heroes to die for, and heroines who give as good as they get. From contemporary to paranormal, BDSM to F/F, and Ménage, haunting love stories are guaranteed.
