Can a new dad and a community center program director find common ground and fall in love?

Bry Michaelsson’s sister died from cancer right after giving birth to her second girl, leaving Bry as a brand-new father of two. He’s dealing with his grief and his new daughters as best as he can, though most days that best is just keeping his head above water. One of the bright spots in his days is the hour he can bring almost-three-year-old Hannah to the community center’s toddler hour where she can run around, spend time with other kids and make all sorts of crafts.

Cor Dawson loves his job as the program director for his local community center. It’s the perfect job for his degree and has plenty of potential for him to move up the ladder. Then Cor meets Bry and his daughters and everything changes. Drawn immediately to the man and his family, Cor offers to help Bry out with putting together new children’s furniture. One thing leads to another and the two are soon spending most evenings together, playing with the kids, and sharing meals, along with some light flirting.

When Bry’s search for a nanny for the girls results in disaster, Cor offers to step in and, it turns out, loves his position as a nanny more than his job. Can Bry and Cor’s burgeoning relationship survive the change, not to mention Cor’s protective sister, who isn’t at all convinced that this is the right step for her brother?

Take the journey with Bry and Cor in the latest Mannies Incorporated novel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cor steps up to help single Dad, Bry....
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2020

As the blurb says, Bry is raising his sister's daughters, after she died from Cancer, when the youngest was born. Hannah is nearly 3, and Caroline is the baby. Cor works at the Community Center where Hannah goes to art classes and fun. That's where the men meet. Cor and Bry become friends, and Cor helps put together the kids furniture. They really hit it off, and Cor's need to care for people takes over. He loves the kids, and he and Bry really gel. Happy and positive Cor becomes the Manny.
This is low angst, smooth and mellow, as we watch the guys navigate the care of the girls, and each other.
Slowly we get some sexy times, and deep feelings are passionate. It is emotional to watch Bry struggle with life, and Cor is there to provide support and care. Each man is hugely nurturing, to the point of feminine, but, remain manly. That fine line is well done.
As they approach Christmas and Hannah's birthday, we see the meeting of Cor's family, too. Bry is alone, no family, but they meld well.
Enjoy this mushy romance and formation of a loving family.

Very little drama, just kids, family and love. Hannah is adorable and Cor and Bry are a sweet couple. A quick read.

Stress and the Modern Dad was a nice addition to Sean Michael’s Mannies Incorporated series. I adore this series, for the low angst and feel good vibes. Nothing heavy; just two men who fell in love and adorable children.
Hannah, advanced for her age, very precocious, and super adorable- Caroline, darling infant- Bry, dad to the two beautiful girls- and Cor, goes from friend to manny, to fiancé. Together, the four made a picture perfect family.
If you’re looking for lots of drama don’t expect it with Stress and the Modern Dad (or the series). This book was fantasy run amok, but in a good natured way. Lovable children, nosy yet well-meaning family members, and two very sexy men looking for their HEA.

1.0 out of 5 stars The worst Mannies book in the series
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2020
Verified Purchase
This is the worst Mannies Inc book I have read. These characters are as flat as a pancake. There is no heat, there is no stress, there is no reason to get excited for them or to care about their relationship. The relationship is ridiculously sweet and unrealistic. There are also several inconsistencies in the story, from very early on. First the Dad lives in a 3 bedroom bungalow with his office in one of the bedrooms and he plans to eventually move his office to the basement so both girls have their own room. The next day there are two empty bedrooms with furniture boxes in those rooms waiting for assembly. The boxes have been there for months. Later the office is, and has always been, in the basement. Then, there is miraculously a fully furnished 4th bedroom, for guest. Also, the bungalow turns into a condo. But not just any condo. A condo with a basement and a garage!

If the author can't pay attention to these details, which seem like they might play a part in the plot, and then just changes them, then I can't be bothered to read the book. I did not finish the book. I am past the 50% mark and I simply don't care about these people. The 2 3/4 year old is the best character in this book.

Save your money.

Things move quickly between these two men but both seem to know what they want and need. They both seem to be happy with the way things are turning. These two just seem to fit so well together
