Not Just Make Believe [Kindle Edition]

Product Description

Andrea Peterchef is the reluctant new nanny to troublemaking nine-year-old Piper, and even though her first day ends with tomato-soup puke, her outlook improves over a sexy conversation with Piper’s guardian, Max. His voice evokes an image of her perfect man, but he’s a workaholic. Andrea can see Piper craves the love and stability of a family, and she’s determined to do what it takes to make that happen.

Maxwell Gildenthall is a stockbroker haunted by the 9/11 deaths of his girlfriend and his cousin-- Piper’s dad. Deadlines and data define his life -- not baby dolls and Disney videos. When his plus-sized au pair badgers him into spending more time with Piper, he realizes he’s been neglecting the child, and the chance to be near his pretty nanny is a bonus. Away from emotion-numbing work, he’s racked by guilt and pain, which threatens the fragile relationship he has with Andrea. It will take more than a spoonful of sugar to make these problems go down smoothly.

From the Author

Holiday romances are one of my weaknesses. I love reading them. I love writing them. And because what's life without a good dose of humor to keep you humble, I love infusing my stories with that too. I had great fun writing Not Just Make Believe, and if you pay close attention while reading it, you'll find out my other weakness as well...

Sookoo's writing makes you feel like you are listening to a friend tell a great story. The writing is funny, witty and all together a joy to read. Andrea is a character who seems to have more of "those days" than any person should. You can't help but cheer her on and laugh at her acerbic humor. Max represents a man that could use a swift kick in the backside to help him open his eyes. You really want him to see what is in front of him and let go of his past. Once you pick this up you will laugh, scream in frustration, and smile as you turn the pages of this feel good read. - Helen Ruby

This was such an enjoyable read. Being a bit of a klutz myself, I could totally relate to Andie. Sandra writes with a witty sense of humor and makes her characters, especially Andie, both funny and vunerable. My absolute favorite part of this book, other than the whole thing, was the ending. It couldn't have been more perfect, and you'll know what I mean when you get there. If you're looking for a feel good book, that pulls at your heartstrings while giving you the urge to chuckle, then this is it.
