I need a nanny, but I may need her more
I know about my reputation as Never Harbor’s secluded single dad. But I have everything I need: my imaginative son, my dog, and our remodeled cottage by the sea.
That is, until my nanny quits.
My brother’s ex-fiancee, Wendy Darling, is an elementary school teacher with a free summer. The last thing I need is to get tangled in his mess, but my family thinks she’s a perfect fit for the job. Turns out, she fits in better than I could have imagined.
Wendy is nothing like I expected. She’s kind and adventurous, with a beautiful laugh that washes my worst nightmares away. She pushes past my silence and sees more of my true self than anyone has in years. And my six-year-old son is falling for her just as quickly.
Being with Wendy can never happen. Not when my younger brother is her ex-fiance. Not when she’s so close to our family. Not when our small coastal town gossips the way that it does.
But after so long in the dark, Wendy makes me feel something. Falling for her feels a lot like flying instead.
I know happy endings only belong in fairy tales, but I’m close to stealing one for myself.

Off The Hook is the first book in the Never Harbor Series. It's also kind of a Peter pan retelling. Very loosely. Wendy is a teacher who is on break for the summer and Jasper needs a nanny for his son. Being an old friend of the family, Wendy might be the perfect fit.
I thought this was a sweet romance. I loved how Wendy and Jasper got to know each other. Even though, Wendy had always been a fixture among the family, Jasper and Wendy had not spent a lot of time together. It was fun watching them let go of their preconceived ideas. I also really enjoyed seeing Jasper finally ask for help. The child in this one wasn't annoying. The relationship he and Wendy developed was very cute. I loved his obsession with pirates. I didn't love Peter's character. He is definitely a man who needs to grow up. But, then I guess his namesake did as well. I defitnely recommend this one.
