Review: Nanny and the Beast

Nanny and the Beast by Georgia Le Carre
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read by Georgia and I found that I did like the story enough to finish it in a timely manner. However, I have to say I didn't really feel the emotional connection between any of the characters. The main characters felt like all they were held together with was lust and sex. You really don't have any feel for any deeper emotion shared between the two.
I couldn't connect emotionally to Yuri's relationship with his niece Yulia either. She was silent for most of the book due to circumstances you will read about if you dig into this one, so it makes sense that the understanding of their relationship might suffer due to that. However, There was a large portion of the book spoken from Yuri POV and there could have been sprinklings through out his inner dialogue that showed his emotional attachment and love for the girl. Instead, I feel like we got ... ' Oh hey, This is my niece for you to take care of.. I love her because she is my niece.. we used to be cool, but now she doesn't talk to me... it's whatever though..'

~Beyond that, This was smut, smut, smut, and a little more smut thrown in for flavor!~
Don't get me wrong... it was SUPER hot... set your panties on fire hotness warning in this book, BUT I thought the relationships within the story actually suffered by having so much page space being taken up by hot and sweaty writhing instead of showing us WHY the characters wanted to writhe together, ya get me? (Also, it seemed like Yulia really took a back seat with both MC's, which is odd because April was hired as a NANNY not a personal HOOKER for Yuri....)

~ BUT WAIT! I am not saying I did not like the book. I did enjoy the story and I felt like it had a lot of potential. It just felt rushed and I think that there could have been a lot more development of the characters and it would have improved the story by at least a star and a half!
