Eastport Bay Billionaires Book 4

You can’t appreciate all the implications of the word “conflicted” until you come face to face with the guy you’ve been secretly lusting after for weeks... and then learn he’ll be signing your paychecks—Angelina Rappaport


Some people might call me sheltered. That doesn’t begin to cover it. I’ve been practically sequestered my whole life. Constantly warned by my eccentric and reclusive mother against the “dangers of the world,” I was only allowed outside my home to attend a strict girls’ school. No parties. No sleepovers. NO boys.


Ever.


Even now in my early twenties, the extent of my social life is spending time with the adorable three and four-year-olds at the preschool where I work. I’ve hardly ever spoken to a man, except for exchanging morning greetings with the fathers of my students.


And soon, I’ll obey my mother’s wishes and enter religious service, training to be a nun.

But gazing out my bedroom window in the turret of my family’s crumbling seaside mansion, I secretly dream of a different life, one that involves freedom, adventure, love, and children of my own.


I at least want a kiss before I give up and follows my mother’s plan for my life.


Sullivan Reece


As a heavyweight boxing champion in prime condition, I can easily go twelve rounds with the toughest fighters on the planet—but when it comes to my two little girls… I’m a lightweight.


Now that my ex has declared herself “done” with mothering, and my spirited and mischievous daughters are living with me full-time, I’m realizing just how much I don’t know about raising kids. My own upbringing in a tough neighborhood left a lot to be desired—I basically raised myself, and honestly, didn’t do all that great a job of it.


And then there’s my demanding training schedule and the travel required for my career. What I really need is a live-in nanny. Yesterday.


But as newcomer to Eastport Bay, I have no idea where or how to find the right caretaker for the two most important people in my life. So when my neighbors say they know the perfect person, I jump at the chance to hire her. She has experience with children, she needs a place to live, and she’s exactly the kind of classy role model I want for my daughters.


There’s just one problem… the new nanny is everything I’m not—sweet, innocent, good. It goes without saying she’s completely off-limits.


Oh, and she’s a total knockout.


The Baby-whisperer and the Brute is a full-length small town rom com fairytale retelling of Rapunzel. It’s a standalone single dad/forbidden love/forced proximity/slow burn romance with no cheating or cliffhangers but plenty of humor and heat and a gentle bruiser with a heart of gold.

My Review:

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair. It didn’t take me very long into the book before I realized that ‘letting down her hair’ in a more figurative sense was something that Angelina desperately needed to do. (And I’m still looking for some additional closure to the reason why she needed to let loose so badly.) Sully is completely adrift with a pair of charming pixies that have completely taken over his life. And just like the Fair Folk I compare them to, his daughters need to be approached, and appeased, in just the right way to prevent absolute chaos and mayhem. I had so much fun watching as this pair got to know and fall in love with one another. The romance is a very slow burn, which works perfectly for the story. It’s also a bit of an emotional roller-coaster with everything from devastation to laughter. Speaking of laughter, I will never think of goosebumps the same way ever again. And now that we’ve been introduced to the leading couple for the next book, I’m already itching to get my hands on it. It looks like it’s going to be even more angsty and emotionally fraught than I found this one.

I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author through Give Me Books Promotions.
