Misadventures With A Manny ~ Toni Aleo ~ New Release & Review

Misadventures with a Manny  by New York Times & USA Today Bestselling author Toni Aleo Release Date 9th October Genre: Contemporary Romance 

Synopsis

Vera Woods is at her wit’s end.

Her husband has run off with the nanny, leaving Vera with a broken heart, three very angry sons, and even less time to juggle the demands of family and her career. After her boys scare away a sixth replacement nanny, Vera is out of time off from work and desperately out of options. Still nursing an aching heart, she turns to an unlikely source for help―a manny.

Lincoln Scott is no stranger to family chaos. But rather than grow jaded, he has thrown his natural talents into building his own business―providing live-in childcare for families as a manny. The money is great and the perks are a blast, but when his family of six years moves to Germany and their plans to bring him along fall through, Lincoln is suddenly unemployed and aware of how much of himself he’s given to other people’s families.

Brought together by circumstances, Lincoln and Vera’s mutually beneficial business arrangement becomes complicated by the undeniable chemistry they share. Vera needs a manny and Lincoln needs a job, but they both may have found the very thing neither one had realized they needed―a whole lot more.

****

Meet The Author

My name is Toni Aleo, and I’m a #PredHead, #sherrio, #potterhead, and part of the #familybusiness!

I am also a wife to my amazing husband, mother of a gamer and a gymnast, and also a fur momma to Gaston el Papillion.

While my beautiful and amazing Shea Weber has been traded from my Predators, I’m still a huge fan. But when I’m not cheering for him, I’m hollering for the whole Nashville Predators since I’ll never give my heart to one player again.

When I’m not in the gym getting swole, I’m usually writing, trying to make my dreams a reality, or being a taxi for my kids.

I’m obsessed with Harry Potter, Supernatural, Disney, and anything that sparkles! I’m pretty sure I was Belle in a past life, and if I could be on any show, it would be Supernatural so I could hunt with Sam and Dean.

Also, I did mention I love hockey, right?

Review Copy Provided by Author

This book resonated with me on multiple levels. As a mom, as a woman (especially over a certain age), and as someone who has to balance the needs of work, home, and a relationship.

We meet Vera when she is at a major cross roads in her life - newly single after a long relationship; trying to raise 3 boys while working full time. She has a lot on her plate and one of the things I appreciated most about this story is that Ms. Aleo captured Vera's emotional vulnerability and how badly her previous relationship had torn her down while also showing her as a strong character who could look past her own needs to care for her children.

While Misadventures is told from a dual POV of Vera and Lincoln, it seemed to be that Vera was the more developed character. I liked Lincoln and loved is interactions with Vera and the boys, but I didn't feel like I had as full of a picture of who he was outside of their relationship.
Vera, Lincoln, and the boys story is one that is easy to take to heart. Not only did we see a love match, but we also got to see how genuine respect and caring can heal hearts broken by dishonesty. Vera and her boys were a team made stronger by the addition of Lincoln, first professionally, then as friends, and more.

There were a couple of minor things that I was confused by when ready the story, small details that didn't match with other things said in the story. As I was reading an advanced copy, I did not factor these into my rating - I am assuming they were fixed before the final publication.

Misadventures with a Manny is a fun read with a strong message. It's something that I definitely think people should read.
