Goodreads Rating: 4.40

Running into a man once is an accident. Twice is a coincidence. Three times makes it fate... right? Unless he is now your grumpy boss who holds the future of your fading dance career in his hands. And you hooked up with him when he was just a mysterious stranger rescuing you… My life is a hot mess. I’m Dakota Tanner and I speak before I think, I spend before I earn, and I live totally in the moment. Which is why I’m down and out in need of a major life makeover. Cue the hot guy who has it all together and makes my toes curl in bed. Who then disappears before I wake up. When he reappears five months later as head coach of a pro football team he wants a secret romance (aka a no-one-can-ever-know bangfest) while I’m a nanny for his wild-child daughters. I should say no. But he just might be my one true love… or my biggest mistake yet.

After reading the last few books by Erin McCarthy, I knew I wanted to read this new book by her too. Yes, these books are standalones. But the characters are all friends so we get to read little bits about the previous characters too. And I just love that. Plus.. Isn’t this cover fun?!

In ‘Halftime Husband’ dancer Dakota Tanner. Dakota’s life slowly seems to fall apart. Her dancing career seems to be on it’s end, she isn’t able to pay the rent of her New York apartment, and all her girlfriends are in serious relationships. But when she accidentally bumps into the handsome Brendan McNamara three times, it simple seems fate. But their lives are totally different.

Like with all Erin McCarthy’s books I read so far, ‘Halftime Husband’ was a very entertaining read I enjoyed from start to finish. Although this book seems shorter to me than the previous ones (I have no clue if that’s true?!) I definitely enjoyed it. Dakota and Brendan’s characters are both very fun to get to know. Yes, they are totally different people.. and their lives are completely different, but somehow they seem to work.

The best part about this book to me was definitely the way they just seem meant to be. They keep meeting each other at random places and it was just so charming. They have a chemistry between them that’s flying of the pages and although their romance isn’t a lowborn one at all. I loved them, and could totally believe their story to be true.

Dakota’s character was definitely my favorite. Simple because she was so unlike me. I loved how she kept going, and stayed strong even though her life was about to fall apart. And the fact that she started working as a nanny, simple because she had to get a job, was something I really admired.

Overall, ‘Halftime Husband’ was a very entertaining and fun read I loved.
