I found it on the tearjerker list, but I didn't find myself too overwhelmed with tears (thank goodness!). Cameron was a single, widowed dad struggling with finding a nanny for his daughter that could handle both her exuberance and a big dog. There was a theme of grief and moving on, but the sweetness of both main characters was great. Jason was the nanny that came into the lives of Cameron and Emma at just the perfect time. My only gripe with this story is that it was too short. Most of the story included Cameron and Jason getting into their work relationship groove and getting to know each other. Once they finally decided to act on their feelings, it moved very quickly and ended. I would've loved just a little more to see these guys together in their happiness. I would've loved to see Emma get to know Jason as a dad rather than nanny. Overall, though, I enjoyed the story. ( ) no reviews | add a review
Belongs to SeriesDeefur (1)
Single dad, Cameron, has tried to juggle his business with childcare for his two-year-old daughter, since losing his husband in an accident. Nannies last a day. Some don't even make it through the front door, particularly when they meet Deefur, the Great Dane who guards Cam's home with his huge paws and a bark deeper than thunder. Deefur is looking after his tiny pack, and he takes his job very responsibly, but he's big and strong, and he's too much for Cam to handle on top of everything else. Something has to give. Enter Jason, a teacher in training who picks up extra cash as a manny. He's the only person who can make it past the barrier of Deefur's protective streak, a veritable dog whisperer. In short order, Jason cares for little Emma, somehow puts Cam's house in order, and on top of that, saves Deefur from being re-homed. Next on Jason's list is healing the heart of a lonely widower in the hopes that he can show Cam how to love again.
