Secret Nights
A single billionaire, a young nanny, and a surprise baby from USA Today bestselling author, Liv Morris.
My life was ordered. Smooth and neat like my scotch. I had arranged relationships with a beginning and end. No romantic attachments was my motto.
Then I met Maggie. A beautiful, young woman trying to find her place in the gritty world of Manhattan. She deserved more than a jaded man like me, so I let her walk away.
But fate stepped in and an ex-lover surprised me with a baby she claimed was mine. Desperate I hired a well-recommended nanny sight unseen. When she knocked at the door of my penthouse, I opened it to find Maggie standing on the other side.
I watched Maggie lovingly care for my child and wanted to learn to be a father to my daughter. But having Maggie so close was dangerous. She was a terrifying ray of sunshine that threatened to thaw my frozen heart.
I needed her for my child.
At least that’s what I told myself.
Until it was too late.

Es una novela que me ha enganchado. No es una historia inolvidable, no tiene una gran historia, pero es de esos libros con encanto, que casi sin darte cuenta estas pegada a sus páginas y te has ventilado medio libro en medio día.

Tres vidas entrelazadas donde algo más fuerte que el destino sellará sus caminos.
Noches secretas de Liv Morris es el romance de cuento soñado, un amor que surgirá de la nada donde una mano mágica se encargará de unir nuevamente, la aventura que Maggie siempre esperó y que hallará al lado del hombre más imperfecto a ojos de todos menos de ella, un amor destinado a florecer pese a todos los obstáculos que la vida y ellos mismo se empeñan en imponer.

This was so so good we have a broken billionaire that has demons and a girl who is a breath of fresh air and the biggest heart with a great sense of humor and I loved Maggie her and Lucas could not be any different even though warned to stay away their connection is off the charts hot and she's were she wants to be. I loved the dialogue it keeps you on your toes so well written with humor, intensity we get it all in this one and I couldn't put it down.

Entretenida, ligera y sencilla; quizá para utilizar como lectura puente entre historias intensas
Me pareció que le faltaba desarrollo e intensidad a esta historia, me faltó emoción, pasión...
Me enganchó bastante al inicio del libro pero la verdad es que fue perdiendo fuerza según avanzaba la historia

Autorka pre mňa nie je úplne neznáma a musím skonštatovať, že príbeh Utajené Noci si ma o čosi viac získal než jej predošlé dielo, ktoré som tiež mala možnosť prečítať. No aj tu mi pár vecí chýbalo, aby sa ma príbeh na 100% získal.
Obe postavy Lucas aj Maggie majú niečo do seba a určite si získajú nejednu čitateľku. Mňa osobne si získala postava Maggie, ktorá bola svojská, vtipná, milá a nebála sa povedať, čo si myslí. Lucas zas naopak mal svoj život nalinkovaný a na lásku rozhodne neveril. A mne sa takýto kontrast medzi nimi dvoma páčil, pretože, tým ma príbeh omnoho viac bavil.
Som rada, že autorka stavila na slow-burn linku. Tu sa mi táto linka hodila, keďže Lucasa zastihla jeho vlastná minulosť, s ktorou mu pomáhala práve Maggie.
Príbeh sa uberal po celý čas určitým smerom a ja som dúfala, že nastane na nejaký zaujímavý zvrat, no nič také sa nestalo. Čakala som niečo viac s Lucasovou rodinou, keďže sám Lucas mal také menšie rodinné tajomstvo, ale toto všetko bolo vysvetlené na pár riadkoch a aj ich celý rodinný problém sa veľmi rýchlo vyriešil.
Určite sa nedá knihe uprieť to, že sa veľmi dobre číta a skvelá chémia, ktorá bola medzi postavami, ale chýbal mi tam nejaký zvrat, ktorý by príbeh ešte viac pozdvihol.
Taká malá vsuvka na záver-z môjho pohľadu by bol pre tento príbeh omnoho viac výstižnejší originál názov Daddy Issues ako preložený názov Utajené Noci. Keďže Utajené Noci som tu nenašla.

Daddy Issues is a stand-alone single dad romance by Liv Morris. This review will be called Sofia's issues and it's a part of a series called "Once again my pet peeve ruined the day (and the book)."
As some people know, my second most hated thing in a book is reading about other women/men. Well, the book began with Lucas seeing the sins of last night still sleeping in his bed. Was that necessary? Or to know that he had a bought and paid relationship with her? As if that wasn't enough at some point we get to read a brief summary of how the baby was made and it was another strike for me. The baby itself took come time to come into the picture and no, I am not talking about the 9 months it needed to be born. I was not a fan of the story and it might be because I was expecting something different from the book. It's my fault, but doesn't almost every reader do that?
The book was not my cup of tea and I would not recommend it.

What's that they say about opposites attract? That's exactly what happens when a cold, controlled (on the outside) billionaire meets a cheerful, attention wandering sweetheart of a young woman. There's an instant attraction on both their parts, and Maggie's (Magnolia) all for pursuing it, but she walks away instead. But then circumstances force her back into his life and they go from there.
Where do they go? Well, more of the same. Lucas trying to restrain himself from falling for the free spirited Maggie, and failing miserably. And Maggie reveling in her new relationship even as she tries her best to help Lucas heal from the singular incident in his past that has frozen his emotional maturity and his heart in a case of ice.
I mostly really enjoyed Daddy Issues. Maggie in particular, is a joy to read, with her big heart and cheerful, compassionate nature. Lucas is a bit too surly for my tastes, but considering his past, he has every right to be stunted emotionally. The opposites attract theme certainly worked well here.

Liv Morris has a way of taking tried and true tropes and spinning them into something so delightful, fresh and infectious I'm always looking forward to her next release. Daddy Issues delivers on all counts. Lucas and Maggie are so much more that a single dad - nanny fling. Maggie is an impetuous small town girl chasing her dreams in Manhattan when she crosses paths with a hot, suited mystery man in a coffee shop. The dream chasing isn't panning out, so Maggie has fallen back on her skills as a toddler whisperer. The next thing you know she's enlisted to save the day when her roomie asks her to help when a baby lands in the lap of a bad boy bachelor, and you guessed it. Lucas is her mystery man from the coffee shop. Sparks fly and Ms. Morris builds up this delicious tension between them. The kind of sweet, angsty tension that makes this book so hard to put down.
It's a must read if you love grumpy, brittle billionaires turned into marshmallows by the love of a good woman as they discover the real meaning of fatherhood.

Hey Maggie! I remember you, Magnolia best friend of Tessa. I loved her and her pinkness.
Maggie, she’s quirky, she’s funny, she’s gorgeous, she just needs a job. What better way to get over a crappy job interview than spend a few pounds on a mochachocalatte with whipped cream, marshmallows and a dusting of cinnamon on top? And if you happen to meet a hunk of a man in the coffee queue - you are winning at life.
I adored the early interactions of Lucas and Maggie aka Peaches and Herb. I could sense the possibility. It simmered. It smouldered. I could tell there was some fire to come.
There’s sub plots of mummy/daddy issues and the surprise baby (not a spoiler, it’s in the blurb).
I would have really liked more daddy baby bonding. If the book theme is a single dad, I want single dad who is smitten. Give me more baby daddy stuff that I can ooooohhhhh and aaaahhhh to. I love babies. And daddies.

My first read by this author and it was very sweet. Poor Lucas is just a broke down mess! He happens to catch our sweet heroine Maggie in a coffee shop one morning. It was serendipity 😍
This was just a sweet not sexy low angst read. There were problems but nothing major. You have the single dad and the nanny and it was love at first sight. Not a whole lot is steamy scenes but the plot drove this book not the sex.

I liked thar Maggie knew how to crack the whip with Lucas, “um, no.” Maggie’s green eyes blazed, making me stand taller. “Your first lesson is in bottle feeding, not downing a bottle. There’s your baby doll. Use it.” I liked this book, I liked Lucas.

I didn’t quite feel the connection I was hoping to with this book. It was instalovey and way to sugar sweet for me. I didn’t feel the sexual tension I would expect with a nanny romance. This one just didn’t work for me all that much.
November 23, 2019
This was a great twist on the single dad romance. There’s plenty of layers to the story of why Lucas is such a closed off guy and the ending was adorable. I have to say Lucas and Maggie’s “meet cute” was so fantastic! Had me smiling & swooning away. Loved catching up with Jess and Barclay too.
I received an arc of this book.

“She was a delectable temptation wrapped up in a beautiful young package, and I needed to get the hell away from her.”
The first time Lucas and Maggie meet, it can be said that fate was on a moody day. With a scene that looks like a slapstick movie, Lucas watches a beautiful woman in line to buy a coffee, but the attraction soon disappears when she photographs him. And everything gets worse when she trips, almost falls, he supports her and a shoe goes flying to a hitherto unknown whereabouts. Lucas just wanted to buy a coffee, a single task of his own, on his first day off. But this different, bold, and clearly outsider woman managed to lock him into a conversation. Obviously under false names. And so, Peaches meets Herb. A different afternoon, but one that will leave its mark on both.
Lucas is in fact a billionaire businessman, a bachelor whose affairs are scheduled and paid for, who protects his privacy at all costs, has no good relationship with his father, and is plagued by personal demons.
Maggie is in the big city looking for a job. But her loving, laid-back, sincere nature contrasts with the cold, barren metropolis. The stranger she met in the cafeteria catches her attention, after all she can see behind the mask he shows the world. But she will never see him again, or so she thought.
In answering a phone call and agreeing to a date, Lucas had no idea of the change that would happen in his life. The balance of the night? A note, a baby and a lot of confusion. And with a child in his arms and no idea how to take care of her, a nanny is needed. But when he opens the door, he comes across the cafeteria girl, none other than the best friend of his friend's girlfriend.
While trying to unravel the mystery surrounding the baby while dealing with personal and professional problems, resisting the temptation Maggie arouses will be harder than he imagined.
With a good guy full of conflict, fighting guilt over a past mistake, at times he is arrogant and cold, but as the reading develops the reader can see that everything is a facade and self-imposed penance. A well written and developed character.
Maggie is irreverent, unfiltered, fearless, strong, the perfect contrast to Lucas's gray world. Baby Esmé is cute and a great addition to the narrative. The plot presents a bit of drama and tension, but nothing that weighs the narrative. Personal conflicts are part of the narrative, present in Lucas's actions and attitudes throughout his life. A good read, with an interesting story, a perfect couple for each other, and attention-grabbing secondary characters.

Daddy Issue by Liv Morris is the story of Lucas and Maggie.
Lucas is this rich, sexy yet closed off billionaire. Maggie is a sweet, beautiful young woman who is trying to make it big in NYC.
Lucas is a broken soul and how he goes about getting his temporary piece isn't my cup of tea. His life gets turned upside down when he finds out that he is a father. The baby mama left the baby literally behind...that's when Maggie and Lucas are brought together (again). She's a nanny while trying to get her foot in the door in the actual job she wants. So her friends recommend her as a nanny and this story comes brilliantly together. Love the message..the chemistry between Lucas and Maggie... the plot is great and the story is sweet and funny. Enjoyed the cast of secondary characters plus the heat generated by Maggie & Lucas, makes for a fantastic read!! Great Ending!
My Rating: 4.5 stars *******

This was another pleasant surprise for me.
I had heard about this book on Instagram and thought “why not?” I kind of went in expecting one thing but got another thing instead.
I absolutely loved the dynamic of Maggie and Lucas and Maggie as a character was so loveable and fun, she just had this great energy that really popped off the page.
The whole storyline involving Lucas becoming a father was interesting to read since I haven’t really read a lot of books focused on single parents but this was a lovely story to start out with.
I do feel like the last bit of the book was rushed and I really wish there could have been a wedding for Maggie and Lucas(potentially with more little ones) but overall this was a really nice read and so heartwarming and funny to read

Daddy Issues by Liv Morris was fantastic. Lucas is a total womanizer, but it’s his defense mechanism. He doesn’t feel he deserves to be happy, and it’s his way to punish himself. For 20 years this is what he’s done, until a chance meeting at a coffee shop was just the beginning. His life takes a bigger turn when his past comes back with more than he bargained for. I don’t want to say much more except this book will keep you glued to the pages. Lucas is a maddeningly hot jerk that you’ll fall in love with.

I knew just from the blurb that this was a story that I needed to read, and I was right!
Lucas... oh Lucas. My favorite kind of hero! Troubled, self-loathing and so, so very sweet under all the angst.
Maggie was wonderful! Patient and good, with so much love to give to Lucas, if only he would let her.
This is a love story that shouldn't be missed! I could hardly put it down once I started reading.
5/5 beautiful, amazing ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is a Fantastic read by Liv Morris,
A single Dad romance that read like a fairytale,and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I Loved the chemistry between Moody,broody Lucas and the delightful sweet Maggie,it was hot steamy and romantic...Esssentially these two have not very much in common but come together to take care of a surprise bundle that lands in Lucas's life.I was completely entertained by their journey and it was a pleasure to read this book.
I highly recommend it.

Daddy Issue is a fun, heavenly sweet love story!
One, where you want to believe in fate and the crazy instances that bring you to where you need to be in life. Which Liv executed brilliantly with a sense of humor and wit.

I really wanted to like this book. I skimmed a lot because it’s a lot of internal dialogue and I missed their connection.
It’s a different way to spin the single dad romance and I liked the way she did it. A little confused on the mom thing but wasn’t that big of a deal.
The beginning of this book is great! The meet and the banter is amazing.
I liked that Tessa was in the story a little to help bring the connection of the friends.

En cuanto la historia de amor entre dos personajes, se transforma en una de tres por la presencia de un hijo por parte de uno de los protas... en fin, ahí tengo el ingrediente estrella para que ame esta historia.
Y es lo que ha sucedido. A Liv Morris ya la conocí con Noches con mi jefe, donde me cautivó con su pluma ligera y adictiva y con esta novela no ha sido menos.
He amado la relación entre los protagonistas, quienes ya aparecen en la anterior novela, aunque ahora vamos a conocerlos más.
Maggie es adorable, divertida, dulce y decidida. Y Lucas se puede decir que cumple con el típico cliché de millonario con pasado traumático que busca sexo para evadirse. Personalmente, me estoy cansando un pelín de que siempre sea lo mismo, pero no puedo decir que no me guste porque devoro estos libros.
Una historia sexy, entretenida y muy fácil de leer donde Maggie, Lucas y una pequeñita más os cautivarán

I was super happy when I found out this book would feature Tessa's friend Maggie - and she did not disappoint - fun and sassy and certainly not a pushover - a girl after my own heart....
Lucas is an absolute ass-- one of those guys you just can't wait to see cut down to size!
Add in the most adorable baby and you can't put this book down!!

Tal y como me ha pasado con la primera novela que leí sobre la autora ( "Noches con mi jefe" ), he acabado la lectura decepcionada, aunque en menor medida.
La novela tira de todos los tópicos que nos podamos imaginar. Lucas Shaw es un multimillonario de 37 años tremendamente atractivo que se niega a sentir ningún tipo de emoción a excepción de la ira contra su padre. Evidentemente es debido a un suceso ocurrido hace dos décadas que lo tiene sumido en una espiral de amargura y soledad.
Maggie Talbot es una chica de 23 años recién graduada que se muda a Nueva York con su mejor amiga (a la que conocemos en la anterior novela) para buscar el trabajo de sus sueños. Es hiperactiva, soñadora, guapísima y romántica.
La forma en la que ambos protagonistas se conocen es otro tópico (no voy a contarlo para no hacer spoiler). La manera en la que se vuelven a encontrar se convierte en otro cliché: Lucas la contrata, sin saber, como niñera de una hija que no sabía que existía (esto aparece en la sinopsis).
Siempre he defendido los clichés porque forman parte de nuestra vida cotidiana: conocemos a gente en el trabajo, en un bar, a través de otros conocidos, etc. Pero el problema con esta novela es que está plagada de todos los tópicos posibles y son tratados de una manera superficial, sin forma y sin emoción.
Es un libro que, a pesar de ser corto y de que los acontecimientos entre los protagonistas son muy precipitados, la lectura se me ha hecho pesada porque el desarrollo es pobre.
La historia del pasado de Lucas es muy interesante y es una pena que la autora no le haya dado más importancia.
Durante los diálogos de los personajes también me ha faltado en alguna ocasión más descripciones sobre sus emociones y pensamientos. Los momentos de pasión también me han parecido un tanto cutres y sosos, sobre todo porque Lucas manifiesta durante toda la historia su tendencia dominante y, al final, la autora no se ha atrevido (o se ha olvidado, vete tú a saber) a mostrarlo. Esto me ha defraudado porque Liv Morris nos presentó a un tipo de hombre y, al final, ha suprimido una parte suya (me habría decepcionado igual si lo hubiese hecho con Maggie).
En resumidas cuentas, es una historia que empieza con fuerza pero que va perdiendo fuelle a medida que vas pasando las páginas, quedándose en una novela descafeinada y mal desarrollada.
