Summary
An unexpected job offer to work as a nanny for the most eligible bachelor in their small town, sends rumors flying. The mayor of Jasper Falls might seem too old for Skylar to date—plus, he's now her boss—but there's no escaping the chemistry they share once living under the same roof....
Rhett Buchanan has single-handedly revitalized Jasper Falls since taking office as mayor. This handsome, single dad appears to be the picture-perfect man, but beneath all that small-town charm, he’s hiding a dark past.
Skylar Marcelli is relieved to move out of her overcrowded, childhood home and into the mayor’s mansion as a live-in-nanny, but her boss is sexy to the point of distraction, and his high expectations leave her eager to please....
The holiday rush slides into a holiday crush, when cold winter nights heat up with sexual tension, an explosion of passion, and an unforgettable Christmas punch that lands Skylar on the Naughty List and at the center of a Jasper Falls scandal.
If you love big family chaos, warm holiday traditions, and age-gap romance, you will love Pining for You!
Also includes:
An original holiday recipe for Holiday Irish Cream—the perfect gift for a chaotic, big family Christmas!

Rhett & Skylar!
Rhett is not only the mayor of Jasper Falls but he is a single father to his daughter Addison. He happens to need a nanny and fate brought him one when a chance meeting between her and his daughter had them bonding in a way he never expected.
Skylar has always been there for anything her boisterous family needed but what she really wants is to pursue a secondary education. Working for Rhett will allow her to save the money she needs while doing a job she enjoys and is good at.
Skylar and Rhett and determined to fight their attraction to each other but they are about to find out that some things are meant to be as they take us on a heartwarming journey that includes lots of love, family and a little turmoil. I did enjoy the performance of the narrator as she had you engaged with the characters and what they were feeling.

Pining for You
I really enjoyed Rhett and Skylar's story. The connection and chemistry between them is great and believable. Although there's an age gap between them (15 years), it doesn't become a factor until the end of the story when others make it into an issue. Their individual stories and backgrounds make the plot interesting and relatable to me and made me root for their love to last. Such a great read or listen in this case!

Age gap, nanny romance
3.5 stars
I enjoyed this audiobook.
If you have read this series then you will be familiar with the big families and community of Jasper Falls. If you haven't read this series before, don't worry, this book can be read as a standalone.
Rhett is the mayor of Jasper Falls. He is a single father and is desperately trying to balance work life with family life however when his last nanny left, Rhett is finding it even more difficult. Luckily Skylar shows up at the right place and at the right time. Desperate, Rhett offers Skylar the job of the nanny on the spot.
I enjoyed this nanny romance. It was fun, passionate and sweet. There is an age gap of 15years between Rhett and Skylar. Age gaps wouldn't be my favourite trope, I will admit and be to honest it wasn't much of a big deal until things got a little bit more serious. I found Rhett controlling at times however he did calm down as they got closer. He turned out to be really sweet.
My favourite character has to be Skylar, she is determined and even at 21years old, she is so mature. She knows what she wants and she works hard to get there. I loved how the characters communicated with each other, even though their struggles.
Overall it was a good read and I would reread it.

Cute holiday themed small town romance
Audiobook provided by Valentine PR
3⭐️ 1🌶
This was a cute small town, age gap, holiday romance. Unfortunately I didn’t really connect with the narrator, although this book was in third person I would I’ve preferred a younger narrator to reflect the FMC a little more. That being said the overall storyline was ok. Personally I didn’t think there was any proper chemistry between the two, they were complete opposites with Skylar having a being from a big extended family and having a nurturing side with Rhett being an only child and having an abusive upbringing. To some degree then being opposites helped them fit together but I just feel like something was missing. I love age gap romances and taboo books but for some reason I felt uncomfortable and this was a contemporary romance not even dark lool. Anyway I did like how Rhett was with his daughter considering his own upbringing. I thought that Skylar’s maternal grandmother was so funny and sweet she kept the story entertaining. There are a lot of side characters who have their own stories so I might look into their books.

Sweet Romance!
This is the fourth book in the Jasper Falls Series, a Small Town Romance. Rhett and Skylar's story is sweet, emotional, and heartwarming. Skylar is beautiful, kind, and caring. Rhett, the mayor of Jasper Falls, and single Dad, is enigmatic, guarded, and emotionally detached. His daughter is so cute! This is a good age-gap, and single Dad romance. Lucinda Gainey did a nice job with the narration.

I want to visit Jasper Falls!
This series is so much fun and Lydia Michaels has me falling in love with the community! This story lets us get to know the mayor, Rhett Buchannon. A single dad who is emotionally distant, he is in need of a nanny. Skylar Marcelli is looking to move out of her very crowded home, where all her siblings receive her parents' attention. Taking this job may be her way out and give her the chance to fulfill her dreams. Addison is a wonderful child, full of spit and vinegar and easily steals the show of this story! Now putting all these in the same house, it's impossible for them not get that family feel. Not only does Skylar fit into their lives, but the growing attraction between Rhett and Sklyar is palpable. We know things can never be easy though and the most unexpected of circumstances puts a wrench in their age-gap romance. Will they beat the odds and find their way to true love? A wonderful time to listen to this story! With the Christmas holiday fast approaching, it was fun to hear just how things were turning out. In true small-town style, there are no secrets, and it's a lot of fun to hear how they find their way to a happily ever after.
Lucinda Gainey is our storyteller, and I enjoyed her performance. There were a few times the character voices ran together, so it wasn't easy to tell who was speaking, but her voice is pleasant, and her cadence well-paced. I loved visiting Jasper Falls.
