`Whoever said romance was dead has clearly never read a Nikki Moore book’ – Rachel’s Random Reads

The last story in the fun & flirty #LoveLondon series from exciting new chick lit author Nikki Moore! The perfect novel for reading in the sunshine … and falling in love with London.

Hot summer romance…or cold revenge?

Super nanny, Zoe Harper is mad! It was bad enough discovering her ex-fiancé Greg cheating on her just weeks before their wedding. But now she’s returned home to London to find her younger sister Melody has been left jobless, homeless, broke and dumped.

Zoe is determined to get revenge on the infamous Reilly brothers for her sister’s heartbreak. So when an unexpected opportunity gives Zoe a way in to uncaring—and dizzyingly gorgeous!—successful music producer Matt Reilly’s world, she jumps at the chance to make him pay.

But living with Matt as nanny to his two adorable, but complicated children, Zoe soon begins to suspect that not everything is as it seems… Matt insists on pushing everyone away including his children, but why? And if his delicious summer kisses are anything to go by, he can’t be that bad surely?

Can Zoe convince Matt to open up a little and help fix this family before she leaves…or worse, before Matt learns who she really is?

This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.After reading the other books in the #LoveLondon series I couldn't wait to read Picnic's in Hyde park.

This book begins with Zoe banging down Matt's door. She's arrived back in the UK heartbroken to find her sister in a similar state with the added 'bonus' of losing her job.

Zoe is really caring and smart but she is also extremely stubborn. She gets it into her head that she needs to get revenge for Melody and comes up with this crazy plan to humiliate Matt.

Matt is a quite blunt and rude at times but deep down a great guy who loves his kids. He can get caught up in his own world and when he does he can sometimes be a bit selfish. When you get to know him you see that actually a really sweet guy.

I loved Zoe and Matt's story all the twist and turns and the obstacles they have to overcome.

I absolutely adored how each of the characters from book 1-5 are in this book and love that they are all connected. This book is the perfect summer read and will have you craving a trip London, stat.
