Rebekah Weatherspoon’s “Rafe: A Buff Male Nanny” is a contemporary romance. Dr. Sloan Copeland hires Rafe Whitcomb to take care of Sloan’s twin daughters, Addison and Avery. Rafe and Sloan quickly become attracted to each other. They have to navigate what that means, including addressing the ethical dilemma of what begins as an employer/employee relationship.
Rafe and Sloan have become one of my favorite romance couples. Rafe is confident and his security in his masculinity is incredibly attractive. He’s overall mellow but pulls and pushes in the right amounts. This is perfect for Sloan. As one of the best cardiac surgeons in the country, she’s great with physical matters of the heart but struggles with the emotional elements. Even so, she gathers the courage to let Rafe know her feelings. They’re well-matched and able to grow together.
General Thoughts:
- Since Rafe and Sloan have excellent communication, the main conflict they experience is external, in the form of Drew, Sloan’s ex-husband.
- The side characters were fleshed out enough that I could get a strong sense of who they were. Addison and Avery are especially adorable.
Favorite Moments:
- Rafe teasing Sloan during the “app” conversation.
- Rafe saying he might want to interview for “the other job.”
Questions:
- Is “yuriXviktor2k4ever@memail” a “Yuri on Ice” reference?
- What kind of dog will Rafe and Sloan get?
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
