Review: Worst Nanny Ever - Book #2 Babes of Brewing Series - Angela Casella - September 2025 I’ll be honest—this cover had me at hello. Paired with the cheeky title Worst Nanny Ever, I knew I was diving into a rom-com that would tick all my boxes. I’ve always had a soft spot for nanny stories, probably because I nearly became one myself after leaving school. My dad, ever the realist, hired a career counsellor to steer me elsewhere—and here I am today, blogging instead of babysitting. Still, that “what if” lingers, and books like this let me live out the alternate path. Angela Casella delivers a delightful single dad romance that’s equal parts heartwarming and hilarious. Travis, our broody hero, suddenly finds himself with a seven-year-old genius named Ollie—who, by the way, completely stole my heart. Ollie is precocious, opinionated, and knows exactly what he wants: Hannah as his nanny. Not just any nanny, mind you—Hannah is loud, messy, and unapologetically herself. She’s everythi...

Review: The Spy and I - Book #1 My Spy - Tiana Smith - February 2024 July is always a special month in my house—birthday cake crumbs on the counter, candles that never quite blow out in one go, and of course, a mailbox brimming with bookish surprises thanks to my lovely bookstagram birthday groups. One of the gems that arrived this year was The Spy and I by Tiana Smith, and let me tell you, it was like unwrapping a nostalgic hug from my teenage reading days. Growing up, I devoured every page of The Gallagher Girls and The Squad series. I even had a soft spot for the gloriously campy spy flick DEBS. So when I cracked open The Spy and I, I was instantly transported back to those adrenaline-fueled, girl-power-packed stories I adored. This one reminded me a lot of The Blonde Identity by Ally Carter—sisters tangled in espionage, mistaken identities, and a dash of romantic tension that keeps you guessing. Our heroine Dove is a computer penetration tester (basically a tech-savvy genius), an...
