I haven’t read a Rachel Harris book in a while and for the life of me, I can’t figure out why. But when I received the chance for an ARC of The Nanny Arrangement, I jumped at it. And I was not disappointed.
It’s incredible how even with adult contemporary romance, you don’t really need the explicit love scenes to be touched to your very core by a love story.
Hannah and Deacon have always been very close. Since the moment Hannah approached Deacon when they were teens, something was there. They were best friends, they cared deeply for each other. They were both complete idiots. Well, kind of.
Deacon, always protecting Hannah at school when she was the social pariah for her stutter, became superman. Naturally. And Hannah was always there for Deacon, supporting him and encouraging him to chase his dreams. She was therewhen his ex (and Hannah’s friend) left him at the hospital with their newborn. And she stepped in, cared for and loved Max as if he were her own. Forming this pseudo-family unit of their own, only without the romance.
But now that Deacon is Blue’s fiddler/keyboardist and is going on tour with the band, fulfilling his life’s dream, Hannah will be joining the group as the band’s nanny. After a year in Paris, distancing herself from her feelings for Deacon, her goal is to find her happy.
The dynamics of this story is nothing short of adorable. I enjoyed every part, even the annoying ones where Deacon is being a complete idiot. Men. I loved the glimpses of the other couple’s lives, the kids scenes were cute as hell and the F2B is, as always, perfect and on point with Rachel Harris’s style.
But most of all I loved how deeply I felt everything Harris tried carrying through.

Soft-spoken and shy Hannah Fisher is determined to make the man she’s loved her entire life finally see her as a woman. With the help of a makeover, a new mission—Operation Find My Happy—and the convenient forced proximity of a tour bus, she vows to win her best friend Deacon’s heart.
Former bad boy and current fiddle player Deacon Latrell has the world at his fingertips: a new gig with a famous band, plus his best friend on tour as his son’s nanny. Life couldn’t get much sweeter. Now if only he could stop imagining kissing the daylights out of his childhood BFF…
With one friend set on pushing the boundaries and the other afraid to rock the boat, one thing’s for certain—their story would make one heck of a country song.
