Rafe: A Buff Male Nanny (Paperback)

Staff Reviews

Rafe is one of my most precious, break-glass-in-case-of-emergency comfort books; I reread it at least once a year. Dr. Sloan Copeland (a young surgeon who's the mother of precocious Black twins, recently divorced, and in desperate need of a new nanny) makes for a smart, vivacious, deeply relatable narrator. Our hero, Rafe, is truly a man pulled straight out of a dream--he's got tattoos, a motorcycle, and serious kitchen skills, and he's kind, sensitive, and attentive, both in and out of bed. Other than a very brief nasty moment with Sloan's ex near the end, this book is 100% pure comfort. Reading this book is self-care. The sequel, Xeni, is equally wonderful. (Note that this book is non-returnable, but it is absolutely worth it.)
