Hearts Abroad (Atlas #1)

When I first saw the cover of ‘Hearts Abroad’ I was fascinated by this book. It’s definitely an eye catching cover. So when the author emailed me about this book, I definitely was excited to start reading this one. After reading this book, I don’t necessarily think this cover fits this sweet slow-burning romance, but it’s still pretty and I’m curious to see the other covers in this series.

A Millionaire Single Dad Romance. When a fun-loving American nanny turns a millionaire British single dad’s world upside down, it’s inevitable life is going to get complicated. Taking a break from screenwriting in New York City, Londyn Bellerose takes a nannying job in Colorado to get away from the hubbub. A summer to live without regrets is all she wants. While her boss is British, gorgeous, and a millionaire, he has no clue how to have fun. Determined to mend the relationship between father and daughters, Londyn doesn’t expect to fall for the museum curator. Londyn is American and everything Callum Archer swore to never fall for again. With her carefree spirit and energetic smile, she’s perfect to nanny Callum’s two daughters. The problem is she’s also perfect for him. She’s sassy, musical, and tends to speak her mind more than she means to. When old history and new dreams threaten her happily ever after, will Londyn and Callum’s love survive? Hearts Abroad is book one in Skye McNeil’s contemporary romance series, Atlas. Each book contains a millionaire to envy, snort-worthy comedy, and visits to many beautiful cities in the world. Yes, all of that, plus each novel ends with a fabulous HEA.

From the moment I started reading ‘Hearts Abroad’ I really enjoyed this read. Both main characters are really fun to get to know. Londyn, is this fun girl who keeps going after her dreams although things aren’t going the way she hoped. For the summer Londyn takes a job as a nanny and soon spends her days with two little girls. What she didn’t expect was to meet their handsome dad, the very British and rich Callum Archur. Callum is a museum curator and a workaholic. Londyn and Callum couldn’t be more different. But there is a chemistry between them from the very beginning.

The romance between Londyn and Callum was really fun to read about. It was a very slow building romance which I adored. It just had this thing about it that made this read really fun and hard to put down. I really enjoyed reading how Londyn and Callum slowly got to know each other and well.. Callum’s very British character definitely was fun too. I loved how this romance took it’s time to build, although the attraction was there from the beginning.

There where several moments in this book that made me laugh out loud. For example the moments where Londyn spoke without realizing she was saying her thoughts out loud. This book definitely had some very humorous moments.

The one problem I had with this book was the ending. To me it felt a little rushed. The rest of this book is sweet and perfectly slow.. unlike most romance stories these days you really get to witness this romance build. But the end just went a little to fast for me. I wished the author took her time more there, and maybe a little less in the beginning.

But overall, this was a great read and I can’t wait to read more books in this series. Millionaires and romance.. there’s just something about them.
