Mr. Nice Guy (Suits & Sevens #3)


Why read books on my TBR list when I can read books that literally came out today?? Here's Isla Olsen's third novel in her Suits & Sevens series: "Mr. Nice Guy."

["Tanner
When you’re staring down the barrel of half a century’s existence on this planet, you tend to think about things…
Like…maybe I should think about retiring? And I guess I could start crossing things off my bucket list? And should I get my colon checked?
Something I wasn’t intending to start assessing too closely at this stage of my life—or ever, really—is my sporadic, complicated, and rather inconvenient attraction to men.
Some people do yoga. Others bake. For me, the only surefire way to release all that tension and anxiety that’s always building up inside me is…well, I’m sure you can figure it out…
But that’s all it is. Stress relief.
Or, at least, that’s all it was. Until I met Deacon Stapleton.
Gorgeous, funny, and great in bed—it only takes one night for me to decide I want him to be my permanent stress ball.
But there are some problems…he’s too young; he’s too nice; and he doesn’t do casual flings.
Oh, and did I mention he’s my daughter’s kindergarten teacher? "]

Good news! This book didn’t make me cry OR go into an anxiety spiral! 

The communication in this one was on point. Lots of talk about consent and boundaries and needs/wants/desires. Yes, there was that pesky third act almost break up, but—ha—they had someone knock some sense into them.

This book takes place right near the middle/end of the first book in the series (“Mr. Big Shot”) and during the entirety of the second book (“Mr. Right Now”). Which was really cool to see some of that, also confusing because I couldn’t remember their third act almost breaks ups/drama. 

Trigger warnings: anxiety disorder, special needs children, and more
