Review: Dr. Single Dad

Dr. Single Dad by Louise Bay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Three and a half stars.

Dax is a research scientist, his work could save thousands of lives (as he likes to remind people a little too often), as the youngest of the five boys, he's always felt a little bit on the outside looking in. He has no time for family, long-term relationships, or children, he's all about work, all the time.

Then, a woman he met just under a year ago calls out of the blue from the USA, she got pregnant and now she's given birth she wants to put the baby up for adoption - but she needs Dax to co-sign the forms. While Dax might not want children, he can't allow his daughter to be adopted so he flies over to the States and brings her home to his small flat, where he immediately starts interviewing for a live-in nanny.

Eira is a Portland-trained nanny, after her uncle ran off with their inheritance after her parents died, she has been trying to support her two younger siblings, which is why a live-in nanny position is ideal, she saves on rent etc for the duration of the assignment. However, Dax is unimpressed by the young woman when she arrives for her interview, she looks dishevelled and her clothes are dirty - how will she look after a baby if she can't look after herself?

However, when the (much older) nanny that he does hire keels over in the park, Eira is there to both look after her and the baby, which leads to her getting the job after all. Now she just needs to keep her hands off her sexy employer ...

These stories are pretty formulaic but catnip nonetheless, fabulously wealthy doctors (crypto investments or developing revolutionary medical devices etc), and young women who blow aside their pre-conceived views on everything. Loved it.
