SYNOPSIS:
Just what every bride dreams of—running straight from her cheating fiancé into the arms of a hot hockey star… and then getting hired as his kids’ nanny.
Tyler Falcon is protective, flirtatious…and frustratingly responsible. We almost did something reckless when he found me alone in my wedding dress, and I blurted out all the things I’d never truly experienced.
Now, the sexy single dad is saving me again with a job I desperately need—and a promise to never mention The Night of 1001 Confessions.
I live in his house. Take care of his kids. Pretend I don’t notice his heated gaze lingering on me after they fall asleep.
Until one night, the tension snaps.
Now we have a deal. Five lessons in seduction. No strings attached.
But he’s not just good in bed. He spoils me with thoughtful gifts and supports my dreams. For the first time, I feel like I belong.
Except…this was never meant to last. I’m his employee. He has kids to protect. And neither of us can afford to make a mistake.
The more nights we spend tangled up together though, the harder it is to pretend it’s just physical. Because I’m not only falling for my boss—I’m falling for the man whose kids have stolen my heart.

REVIEW:
The Overtime Kiss by Lauren Blakely is a sizzling, heartwarming forbidden romance that scores a hat trick with an irresistible blend of heat, humor and heartfelt emotion! This single-dad/nanny romance pairs Tyler, the professional hockey player and doting father of two, with Sabrina, his daughter’s fiery skating coach and his children’s new nanny—and who also happens to be the woman he’s secretly crushed on for years. Their chemistry is electric, crackling with every stolen glance and loaded with the kind of witty, flirty banter that makes their forbidden tension utterly addictive.
Blakely masterfully balances steamy slow-burn passion with tender vulnerability as Tyler and Sabrina navigate the risks of crossing professional lines—and the even bigger risk of falling for each other. The single-dad dynamic adds layers of emotional depth, making Tyler’s protective love for his kids and Sabrina’s warmth with them just as swoon-worthy as the scorching bedroom scenes. With her signature blend of humor, heat and heart, Blakely delivers a romance that’s equal parts playful and poignant.
I listened to the audiobook, which was narrated in duet by Teddy Hamilton and Brooke Bloomingdale. Brooke and Teddy both delivered fantastic performances, capturing the chemistry, connection and vulnerabilities of these characters. The Overtime Kiss by Lauren Blakely gets five smooches from me!
