Dr. Anderson's Nanny

by Amy Hahn

Magical Nanny University graduate Wednesday is excited about her first assignment at Dr. Thomas Anderson's home. Since the death of his wife, Tom has buried himself in his work. He has little time for his three daughters. Wednesday's first goal is to make Tom see how important it is to spend time with his little girls. Secondly, she needs to get rid of his girlfriend (with a little magic of course!) who hasn't a shred of compassion or love for his children. Third, she wants to bring laughter and fun into his life. But Wednesday never plans on falling head over heels in love with Tom. It's forbidden for her kind to love a mortal. How will she ever explain she's a cauldron-boiling witch to the scientific doctor and that she has to leave him and his girls forever when all her goals are achieved?

I find this author's writing to be very lovely. This story, as well as her other "sweet romance" stories are beautifully descriptive. This story was charming, light, fun. I think this book s a great read for those who love stories about good witches; think Bewitched. The little girls in Wednesday's care are adorable. Wednesday's mischievous cats are fun. Dr. Tom is a lost soul, still mourning the loss of his wife. But he falls for Wednesday almost immediately because of her warmth, her charm, her kindness, her instant bond with his children. And he is searching for something (which turns out to be her!). It is understood quickly these two are soul mates. They have an instant attraction, connection. Tom's not sure what it is, but he can't deny the strong emotions he feels for Wednesday. And Wednesday is shocked she's falling in love with a mortal man, the father of the children in her care. She realizes she isn't just there to help the children. She's also there to help Tom. Find joy. Love. Her, too.

There are so many things wrong with this book, I don't know where to begin. The on/ off attraction between Wednesday, the magical nanny, and Dr. Anderson, surgeon widower extraordinaire, are downright tedious. And also, Wednesday is a pretty bad nanny. Not just because she kisses her employer ON HER FIRST DAY AS NANNY, but also that all she ever feeds the three girls is junk food! In short, Dr. Anderson's Nanny fails miserably to string together a good plot, only moments and glimpses of what it could have been.
