Hilarious, irreverent, and sexy, this book is a must read. You’ll fall in love with the characters and laugh until your sides hurt with this one.
This book starts out with our yoga instructor heroine,
Libby, having had her chi disrupted and her O stolen by hulk of a British boxer
Erasmus, or Raz, who trains next door to the yoga studio she works at. Nothing
has been going right for weeks since she first confronted her gym neighbor, and
it eventually results in a comically amazing outburst that leads to the pair
being forced into each other’s lives by both that situation and the woman tasked
with finding Raz a nanny for his son, Sebastian. The two get more than they
originally bargained for having been paired together, and we get to see how these
two seemingly opposite characters develop a relationship that neither of them had
at first counted on.
This book is comedic gold. I literally laughed out loud on
so many occasions. The interactions between Raz and Libby are hysterical, and
their characters played off of one another so well. The sense that these two
are cosmically paired is so strong, and that plays out in the story in such a
way that their chemistry is palpable.
Something else I loved about this book is that it’s so well
rounded. That may sound like an odd description, but I think you’ll understand
after you read it. There are so many pieces to Raz and Libby’s story, but they’re
all necessary to the main characters and the plotline. None of it feels out of
place, and the way Sandor achieves the final product is wonderful. This book
really does go full circle, and I loved not feeling like anything was too much
or not enough. The title might suggest silliness, and there is plenty of that,
but really it’s a well thought out tale of two characters coming together at a time
in their lives when they need the other but don’t even know it or understand
why. Really, I just can’t say enough good things about this book.
The Nanny and the Beefcake is absolutely one of the best books
I’ve read so far this year and certainly the funniest. If you love a well done
romcom that’s way more than just a funny romance, this book is for you.
