He’s a single dad. She’s the nanny he shouldn’t want…Chris Vaughn doesn’t want to be seen as Hollywood’s sexiest bad boy anymore.He wants to make the movie he’s dreamed of ever since he was a child.And the pretty beach town of Angel Sands is the perfect place to do it.
There’s one small problem. He needs a nanny for his six-year-old daughter. And fast.
Enter Chelsea Kennedy.
She’s the perfect caregiver on paper. And more than easy on the eye.It’s a shame she left her last job under a dark cloud and she won’t tell him why.
Taking a punt on her is a risk. She’s trouble with a capital ‘T’.But it’s not as though either of them is going to do something stupid.
Like spend long evenings falling for each other. Or long nights together tangled between his sheets.
Somebody’s going to get hurt. Maybe everybody will. But he just can’t help himself…

Carrie Elks is one of those authors I simple love every single word from. So when I received an ARC of ‘Lost In Him’, book 9 in the Angel Sands series I was super excited. This series takes place in the small town of Angel Sands, and every book is a standalone.

In ‘Lost In Him’ we meet Chelsea Kennedy and Chris Vaughn. Chelsea is a nanny, who just ended a job poorly. Not knowing what to do, or how she should continue working as a nanny, she is desperately thinking of ways she can find a new job. But luck finds her, when she gets offered a job of working as a nanny for Hollywood actor Chris Vaughn. Better yet, it’s a job in her old hometown Angel Sands. Now she has a way of making money, and she’s close to her mom and sister.

Chris’s ex-wife changed her plans, and now Chris has his 6 year old daughter staying with him for the whole summer. But he is also starting a new movie. Luckily for him, Chelsea is available to be his nanny. And Chelsea and his daughter click right away. Unfortunately for Chris, from the moment he met Chelsea he can’t stop thinking about her. Chris is used to people betraying him, and he isn’t convinced Chelsea is any different.

I just love reading this series. There is something magical about Angel Sands, and especially the characters that live there. And from the moment I started reading, I loved the story of Chelsea and Chris. This book is written through both their point of views, and I loved getting to know these characters. Their lives couldn’t have been more different, but at the same time they had a lot in common. Chelsea and Chris definitely shouldn’t fall in love, but after meeting each other there wasn’t a way they could not.

I loved Chris’s character the most. He was just so charming, and handsome but also kind and there was a lot more to his story than you’d think in the beginning. The best moments where definitely those when he interacted with his little girl. He is such a great father, and these moments definitely made me swoon.

The romance between Chelsea and Chris was just lovely. And I rooted for them right from the start. Their where plenty of steamy moments, but mostly just swoon-worthy moments that made me wish I could have kept on reading this book for a lot longer.

‘Lost in Him’ was a great read, I loved from start to finish.
