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.

The lingerie had been an impulse purchase—an impulse that had then led to an epiphany. Blush and jade. Satin and lace. Toile and mousseline…the colors, styles, and textures had been overwhelming. Trying them on, well, that had been extraordinary. The silk had felt decadent against Hannah’s skin, almost forbidden, and so unlike anything she’d ever worn before. Living an ocean away from everyone and everything she’d ever known, nursing a broken heart, it had been exactly what Hannah had needed.

Initially, she’d fled to Paris to get over Deacon, but more than that, she’d been fleeing the woman she’d sadly become. A woman who sat on the sidelines of her own life. For far too long, she’d allowed other people to dictate her happiness, and that realization, coupled with naughty lingerie and a few glasses of spectacular wine in an adorable bistro, had birthed her new mission. Hannah liked to call it, Operation Joie de Vivre…or Operation Find My Happy.

Her mission was threefold.

First up, no more hiding. Hannah’s bad habit of shying away from experiences simply because they made her nervous was over. Now, she would be bold. Adventurous. Outgoing. Anything from forming friendships to speaking her mind was fair game, with the number one rule being no more skulking in the shadows. Paris had awoken a desire to start truly living—and to stop putting her dreams on hold.

Secondly, Hannah wanted to find her place in the world. The tour with Blue was a perfect opportunity to explore a new option. So far, her contract lasted only through the national leg, with the idea that they’d extend her stay once she’d gotten past a short trial period—a test she intended to pass with flying colors. At twenty-four, she was excited to settle into a career where she could make a real difference, and while she hoped to find that in this position, she was open to just about anything. Band nanny, au pair, or a preschool teacher, they all sounded wonderful. As long as she could make a real contribution, it would fit the bill.

Lastly, but perhaps most importantly—

She was putting her heart on the line, once and for all.

Lingerie may’ve kicked off her mission, but it was the hope of Deacon that gave it life. Denying her feelings all these years hadn’t changed them. Neither had leaving the country. The only thing that would, or so she’d decided, was pushing the boundaries of their friendship. Flirting (an activity with which Hannah had zero experience) and letting Deacon know she was ready for love were all part and parcel of her new plan to get her best friend to finally see her as a woman.

#MyThoughts

I am truly in love with books about best friends falling in love. I think it is the feeling of knowing they are like the perfect half to complete them, perhaps it is because I would want to be with someone that really knows me. Anyway, I like this kind of books.

The Nanny Arrangement is one of the latest books I have read and enjoyed. I did not read the first book in the series, but both of them are standalone so... I did not get lost when reading about characters --which I completely appreciate. Yet, I would really want to read Charlie and Arabella's story because while reading TNA, I also enjoyed getting to know the other characters' relationships. Okay, getting to the point --TNA is fantastic, the plot was fascinating it really captured my mind because I could not stop reading it, plus the two-and-a-half main characters were absolutely amazing, and when it comes to facing their fears, Hannah and Deacon made it worth. Of course, every time little Max appeared on the scene I melted due to his cuteness, he was the best of the book.

Along the book, we are able to understand why Hannah and Deacon did not confess their feeling for each other sooner, and every ups and downs of their friendship makes sense when you get to know what they were thinking/feeling during those periods. TNA is so sweet you would need to be careful. There is no way I will not be reading another of Rachel's books; if they are all like this one, it would be amazing. I totally recommend this and all Rachel's books to every single one of you. TNA is a lovely, and sweet reading --which does include the right amount of drama to make it a great book. And it has of those endings the characters truly deserve.

Book: 4.5 lovely stars!
