The single dad sports romance you need to add to your TBR!

     Chelsea Curto’s latest book Behind the Camera, which comes out today (3/19), was one of my most anticipated reads of the year and let me tell you: this single dad/nanny romance does not disappoint!
     Maven Wood is ready for a fresh start. After an injury on the soccer field leads to her dropping out of college, she needs a change. When her godfather–the coach of the hottest team in the NFL–tells her about an open position as a sports photographer, she jumps at the chance to apply. The pay is good, but it doesn’t cover her rent after her roommate moves out. Out of ideas, she’s not sure how she’s going to afford to make ends meet… until the cute kicker comes to her rescue. Dallas Lansfield never thought he’d be a single dad, but he’s embracing the role as best as he can. With a four-year-old that has too much energy and not enough time on his hands, he needs help. Desperately. So when he hears that his coach’s goddaughter is looking for a way to make more money, he practically begs her to come be his nanny. Maven and Dallas aren’t allowed to fall for each other. Getting involved with a player on the team is off-limits and a quick way to get fired. But what starts as a professional relationship turns into something deeper. In front of people, they’re colleagues. Behind the cameras, though, their attraction only grows. Late night talks turn into sharing a bed, and soon, Dallas would rather give up his career than give up the feelings he has for Maven. He can’t have her. So why does he want her so damn bad?
     Chelsea Curto has quickly become one of my new favorite authors and Behind the Camera has just solidified that for me!
      This book has everything I could want in a romance: a sexy MMC who’s an athlete and a single dad, a sassy and confident FMC, “he-needs-a-nanny-stat!” trope, an adorable child of a MC, forbidden romance, cameos from beloved characters in previous books, new minor characters that add comedic relief, and soooo much steaminess!!!
     Honestly, I loved Dallas and Maeve as characters and how their relationship progressed. While I found this book to be on the longer side, I still enjoyed every cute moment with June, every sexually tense moment trying to deny their feelings, and every steamy moment after that!
     While you can definitely read this book as a standalone, I do recommend reading the first two books in this series for fun because they’re soooo good!! If you’re looking for a forbidden sports romance to add to your TBR, then this is the book for you!
