About this eBook

Megan Carter’s spent the past five years nannying for a pint-size boss—the adorable Charlie—while also navigating her full-size boss, his somewhat grouchy, way-too-methodical dad, Adam. Now that she’s finally moving on, helping Adam find her replacement should be easy...except he doesn’t want another nanny. He wants a wife.

Adam’s been burned by love in the past, so of course he believes finding someone who can be a partner in raising his son is all that matters. Too bad the woman helping him search is the biggest believer in love at first sight and happily-ever-after he’s ever met.

Even as Adam’s funny, charming, and—who would have thought it?—super-hot side starts to come out, Megan knows that without love, a family would never be complete. But convincing Adam of that might be harder than she thought.

Ratings and reviews

A single dad, a nanny, and a slow burn made this book a delight to read. Adam was burned by his marriage and doesn't have any interest in taking that road again. He's doing everything he can to be as successful as possible so his son will never know what it's like to go without like he did growing up. Unfortunately, those experiences have skewed his priorities a lot. But luckily, Charlie has Megan, his nanny since his mom left. The love that Megan has for Charlie was felt through every piece of this story. Even though she was planning on leaving her position as his nanny, she was pushing to show Adam that she would never leave her position as Charlie's family. I would have loved to see more interaction between Megan and Adam but I what I did see of them, I felt the chemistry that they had. They are pretty much perfect for each other, the balance that the other needs. I loved all of the characters in this story and am keeping my fingers crossed that Stella and Declan will also see their HEA. *This is my voluntary review of an advanced reader copy*

Exceptional story! This book is wonderfully written and the story just blew me away. I loved these characters and it was fun to see them change their view of not only what they want in life but each other as well. Being nanny for little Charlie was the greatest job Megan Carter could have had while going to school and completely her education degree. Now she's finished with school and ready to move on in her career. Unfortunately leaving the two people who have become so important to her isn't going to be easy. Even worse Adam has asked her to help him find her replacement. Only this new person won't be just a nanny. No Adam has decided that finding a wife is the way to go. No love required, just someone to be there and help him raise Charlie. You'll want to read this book to experience the journey of Adam and Megan as they both come to realize exactly what is most important in life. I highly recommend this book!

In matters of the heart, it's the clueless that make the perfect match. Jody Holford puts her heart in her stories and Let It Be Me in my opinion shows the most evidence of that. The romantic and the Scrooge is a common theme in romance, but add in an adorable pint sized matchmaker and you have comedy gold to add to the adorable factor. Megan wants to find love, but has been looking in all the wrong places. Adam wants to avoid love at all costs and ends up landing in the middle of a mine field when Megan walks into his life. Will he discover his true feelings before she walks back out again? Losing your heart is a given when Ms. Holford lands on your ereader.
