3.0 out of 5 stars
Kindle Book Review, Jun 6 2009
By C. J. Olsen - Published on Amazon.com
I had a bit of a problem understanding the underlying conflict upon which the relationship between Jason and Maggie revolved. I feel the author was making too big a reach as she tried to make me understand how Jason could believe that his feelings for Maggie were a bad thing. Jason's reasoning was not believable to me. As this was the core conflict in the novel it damaged the overall experience. More sophisticated readers than me may not find this a problem at all.
Other than the above, I found the story a fast, interesting read. The characters were well developed, especially Maggie. The dialoge was well written and true to life. I was well pleased to read positive words about the orphanage experience, the people who operate them and the orphans who must live there. Well done!

By The book lady - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Marrying The Virgin Nanny (Mass Market Paperback)
Maggie is hired to be Jason's nanny, but she only works for anyone for 6 weeks, to help them adjust to a new baby, then she moves on to prevent her from forming attachments to her charges.
Jason has been through 3 nannies and wants Maggie for keeps because she is so good with his son, Brady, and decides the only way to get her to stay is to offer marriage.
What bothered me about this book is the utter stupidity of the set up. Why in the world would a woman who was saving herself for marriage and believed in marriage lasting forever EVER agree to a marriage of convenience? I could not reconcile with that fact and it was very painful to read Jason's rebukes at any small gesture of feeling she gave him.
The ending was unsatisfactory and I thought he didn't "earn" her back, and if I was her I would have told him that love didn't solve everything. He needed to prove himself and he never did. I believed that he loved her but I think he would I have shut her out again at the smallest sign of trouble, because that is just how he operated.
What I did like about this book however was the sweet scenes with Brady, especially the scenes at the doctor's office.
Some of the writing was a little confusing, especially the scene where Jason "proposes." Jason bases their whole relationship on that short conversation and never did he spell out that he only wanted her as an unpaid employee.
This is a LOT less offensive than some harlequins, where the "hero" doesn't have a kind word to say to the heroine, but if I was her I would have felt like a whore based on some of his behavior and I couldn't have forgiven him because of his actions late in the book.
2 stars.

By Not Telling - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Marrying The Virgin Nanny (Mass Market Paperback)
Let me start off by saying Maggie is on the list of the best female leads I've ever read about, even though this is a small Silhouette book. She was a great, honest person, who openly shared herself with Jason, telling him that they made love and not sex. Everything she did or said was so...just, right. She was afraid, but brave. Sweet and perfect with Brady. I will admit, it took Jason too long to realize he loved her, and it was frustrating to read him think the same thing again and again about marriage. But they came together nicely, though too tame. But, what can you expect from a Silhouette book?
Listmania!
