Nicole's Book Musings
4.5 Stars I really enjoy a good friends to lovers story so I knew right away I was going to love this one. One of my favorite parts is the backstory on how Deacon and Hannah became friends. I wish I could be more like Hannah and have the guts to go after what I what like she did. A lot of times we always think of the what ifs and that's what Hannah doesn't want to do have no regrets. The interaction between Hannah, Deacon, and Max is so adorable. It just melts my heart. The connection and the feelings these two have for one another is truly beautiful. I highly recommend reading this one because I could hardly put it down that I got so engrossed into the story.

On tour with Blue!! This second book in the Blue series can definitely be read as a standalone. I became a Blue fan during Accidentally Married on Purpose and each book has increased my fan status a little more. Hannah was an awkward, bullied, 15 year old when she met Deacon, the bad-boy new kid who moved in across the street from her. These two found in each what they never got from anyone else, true friendship. Now ten years later, Hannah has gotten over her speech impediment and is ready to stop living on the sidelines of her own life. It only took a trip to Paris to realize that she wasn't living life as fully as she could. Deacon lives for his son and now that he has been temporarily signed to be the fiddle and keyboard player for Blue, he wants to secure a future for him and his son by making the gig permanent. Deacon has always been able to count on Hannah but when she returned home from Paris, there's something about their friendship that has changed. Are the feelings he's having worth having the only family he's truly ever had enough to risk having yet another person walk away? I loved Hannah and Deacon. They are supportive of each other but are also willing to call each other out when they do something stupid. So many of their issues could have been completely avoided if only they would communicate better but then there really wouldn't have been much of a story!! My only complaint is that I wished there was more of Hannah and Deacon together in this story. I can't wait to read the rest of the stories about this band!! *This is my voluntary review of an advanced reader copy*

He was her hero. She was his second chance. Bonded by loneliness these childhood outsiders created a friendship that could withstand anything. Except for maybe falling in love. Deacon and Hannah are magic together. They bring out the best in each other. Ms. Harris has created one of her finest works with The Nanny Arrangement. Friendship, sentiment, humor and heart are all subjects easy to relate to and made this story a resounding success.
