Masquerade

De: Janette Rallison, CJ Hill

Narrado por: Molly Secours

A little white lie never hurt anyone. When Clarissa takes a much needed nannying job under slightly false pretenses, she doesn't think it will be such a big deal. She may have told her movie-star boss that she was married, but that shouldn't matter—even though it was a specific job qualification. After all, the man is just worried about love-struck groupies applying for the position, and Clarissa doesn't want anything to do with men for a long, long time. Men have been nothing but trouble. But the love-struck groupies have a point.

Slade Jacobson is hot. And kinda irresistible. And easy to fantasize about. It's hard for a woman to keep up the masquerade when her boss takes her to Hawaii with him. In between handling his whirlwind four-year-old daughter and dealing with a whole cast of Hollywood personalities, Clarissa has to keep a tight hold on her heart.

Masquerade is a clean, single mother romantic comedy with lots of heart. If you love tropical paradise romances, or have ever wished you could meet your celebrity crush (Henry Cavill, anyone?), you'll eat up this swoon-worthy, full-length, happily ever after romance!

Loved this Clean Romance

Masquerade is a heartwarming, sweet romance that beautifully captures the journey of a single mom who unexpectedly finds love while working as a nanny for a charming movie star. With clean storytelling and tender moments, the book weaves a tale of second chances, trust, and the courage to open one’s heart again. The chemistry between the characters is genuine, and the slow-building romance adds a delightful charm that will leave readers smiling long after the final page.

Didn’t expect a LITERAL masquerade

Overall the story was fun and I was still rooting for the characters.
But the leading man is a bit controlling in problematic ways, like when he insists on chaperoning the leading lady during her free time at the pool (something completely unrelated to nanny job he hired her for). The leading lady’s habit of continually lying really bugged me later in the book. She finally resolves to tell him the truth that she kept covering up. But then another character convinces her to disguise herself as a different person to achieve the same goals that could have been met with a simple adult conversation. I would have expected a scheme like that from teenaged characters, but not from grown adults. Considering how each of their previous marriages blew up, one would think that another gaslighting woman and another overbearing man would be an issue for them. Instead it was played off as romantic.

Loved it !!
