My Mr. Manny by Jennifer Garcia

My Mr. Manny by Jennifer Garcia

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?

**** 4 out of 5 stars ****

I was given this book to read and give my honest review. I truly enjoyed its moments of sugary sweet swoon-worthy flirting and hot hunky Manny!! This was an interesting read as the prospect of a male nanny wasn't one I would have considered. However, after Mia's first marriage ends and she realizes the increase in her daughters activities and her work load, help is just what she needs. With the advise of her cousin, she agrees to interview the brother of her cousins husband for the position of the Manny, Dominic. Eye-candy delights and romance being on a slow simmer, this pair come to a boiling point of sexy sweet sensual healing. Who says love isn't better the second time around? Loved this book and certainly look forward to more from Ms. Garcia!!

I also write under a pen name, Forbes Arnone.

Jennifer Garcia's (aka Forbes Arnone) love of travel began when she went to the West Coast to visit her father at the age of three. Her home until she was sixteen was a small coastal town near Boston. She currently resides in Los Angeles with her husband, two sons, and two dogs.

Her 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. 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 recycling 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 published August 2013.
