Sleeper by Kayley LoringMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Good Solid Rom Com
This book is really sweet, but it doesn’t take itself too seriously, a bit like the main characters, Willa and Shane.
Willa has spent the last couple of years in France learning to be a perfume designer whilst nannying to pay for her stay. She is back in the US staying on her brother’s futon. Her brother is a musician now, but used to be a child actor and one of his best friends was made when he was a teen heart throb. His best friend was also Willa’s first crush.
Shane was a child actor who has gone on to be a Hollywood action comedy hero. He has a five year old son and daughter that he had with Margo an actor he worked with. Now Margo is on another continent filming and Shane is taking some time off to spend with his kids, and the nanny just quit. His best friend suggests his sister is perfect for the job. She is, and the set up is complete.
What takes this book from mediocre RomCom is the writing is very funny indeed. It is also sweet but it has some snark with it’s tenderness. It also has real hopes and fears, worries about jobs and relationships with children. It’s well written and though there isn’t major tension and plot twists, it’s a very enjoyable read.
This is the first book I’ve read by this author, and I’ll keep an eye out for other books.
