Total Meltdown

Lily Grayson is a kindergarten teacher during the year, au pair during the summer. When her job as an au pair falls through, Lily’s at a loss of what to do during the upcoming summer. As much as she loves her hometown, Hellfire, she doesn’t want to be stuck there during the summer. Lily wants to travel, enjoy new experiences, and see the world before she settles down. Antonio Delossantos, a lonely widower, is in need of a nanny for the summer. Tony, an extremely successful rancher/businessman, has no one to watch his kiddos for the summer as Rosa is ill and won’t be able to travel. When Tony goes to pick up his son from school, he meets Lily. Although she puts him in his place, he likes her determination and spunk. After witnessing her Krav Maga skills, Tony decides Lily is the perfect nanny for his children. So he makes her an offer she can’t refuse... While I have yet to read a novel in the Hellfire series, I can certainly vouch for this novel. It’s a well written, suspenseful, page-turning novel. I enjoyed Tony’s interactions with his children and his realization of all the time he’s “missed” with them while grieving the loss of his wife. Lily’s empathy, compassion, courage, and love shown towards Tony’s children was a huge plus for me. I also loved that the story didn’t feel rushed. I highly recommend this novel. I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.

Wow! Don't miss out on this action-packed book. Total Meltdown is a spectacular romantic suspense by Elle James. Ms. James has once again delivered a book that's well-written and a nice smooth read. This is a fairly quick read, perfect for those with limited reading time. Lily is a school teacher and travels during summers as an au pair. She's got a soft spot for Robbie, her student, and when his father arrives on the last day of school to pick him up she let's him know he's neglecting his children. Tony had to go to Costa Rica on business for the summer and since Lily's summer job fell through, he hired her to be their au pair. Lily and Tony's story is packed with drama, humor, sexy bits, action and suspense. I enjoyed this book so much I read it in one sitting. Total Meltdown is book 7 of the Hellfire, Texas Series but can easily be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book that I received from Prolific Works. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

It was soooo awesome seeing some old friends. Hit the spot :) This is book 7 in the series and can be read as a stand alone, however I personally believe everything would be enhanced if you have read book 1-6. That being said Lily took the cake. A school teacher who knows Krav Maga. Yes! I want to be her friend. Its summer time and she hires on to watch Antonio's two children - in Costa Rica. Antonio is a widower due to the cartel. He is our handsome male, not so much an Alpha as a strong male. There is suspense, family, old friends, romance and some steam. All in all an enjoyable quick read I recommend. Thank you Elle James for the arc. All thoughts an opinions are my own.
