Caught Up by Liz Tomforde (Windy City #3)
I love it when a romance book becomes more than just about falling in love. Caught Up may not have the most unique plot—single dad + nanny—you’ve probably read a similar story with different twists. But do you know what I loved about this book? It’s how Kai respected Miller’s decision to pursue her career, even though it meant they might not be together. It’s how Miller realized that something is only worth doing when your heart is fully in it. It’s how Monty shows that family isn’t defined by blood but by love. This book was such a heartfelt read, making me laugh and tear up along the way 🥹
I've read three books in this series and so far this one is my favorite. I was torn between rating it 4 or 5 stars, but the emotions won me over in the end ❤️
Kai
I’m a single dad and starting pitcher for Chicago’s MLB team. I’m stretched too thin, but I don’t want help raising my son.
Each of his previous nannies only lasted a few weeks before I let them go. Now, my coach is putting his foot down by hiring the one person I can’t fire—his daughter.
Miller Montgomery is the last woman I should fall for. Too wild, too young, and too unattached.
Chicago is just a quick stop for her. I thought I’d be counting down the days until she left, but summer feels too short when I start thinking about forever.
Miller
As a high-end pastry chef who recently won the most prestigious award in my industry, I’m desperate to prove I deserve it. But with a new title comes new pressure, and I can’t create a fresh and inspiring dessert to save my life.
With only two months to get back on track, I should be focusing in the kitchen, but instead, I let my dad talk me into using my time off to nanny for his star player’s kid.
Kai Rhodes forgot how to have fun, and I’m eager to jog his memory. But when he and his son start to feel like home, I have to remind us both that my time in Chicago ends with the summer.
Besides, I’ve always been a runner, and the last thing I want is to get caught.
