BOOKWORM REVIEW: You Can't Kiss the Nanny, Brady Banks by Piper Rayne

 

RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5
SPICE: πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯.5

Piper Rayne's Kingsmen Football series is now pitching 1.00 (yes, wrong sports metaphor) with enjoyable reads. The second book in the series introduces us to Brady and Violet.

After a spectacular night together, Violet abruptly leaves Brady without any way to contact her, much less a name. Fast forward to later, they find themselves in each other's orbit again after Brady needs a live-in nanny since the mother of his young son is going away overseas. Now Violet is living in a very much single and equally very much interested Brady, but the demons in her past and the high expectations from her parents have the nanny hesitating to jump in, regardless of how much she wants to lose herself in Brady.

How can you not fall in love with Brady and Violet? Brady is book-boyfriend perfection. While he is passionate about football, his life centers around his family, especially his son Theo. His dynamic with his family is so fun to watch, especially when he is mortified at his parents' open approach to bedroom activities. He is so considerate and thoughtful when it comes to Violet. 

Violet meets Brady's charisma, pound for pound. She is independent and courageous. I could relate so much to the conflict with her parents, and she handled it like I wish I could have at her age. Her connection with Theo is so well done. It felt organic and sincere; Piper Rayne did a great job of establishing little details along the way to build their connection.

The chemistry between Brady and Violet is unquestionable. Even from their one-night stand, you could feel the connection that just gets re-ignited into a fantastic slow burn when they meet again. 

This book can be read as a standalone, but it does incorporate characters from Book 1 and future books in the series. I also love the little Easter eggs from Piper Rayne's other series.

If you are into sports romances, second chance romance, or hot-for-boss romance, this is a must-add to your TBR.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Brady Banks.

The Kingsmen’s best wide receiver.
Rich AF.
Hot as hell.
A stallion in the sack.

How do I know that last fact? I may have shared a one-night stand with him six months ago when I was rebounding from a broken heart.

I didn’t forget him, but I was done with him, until I discovered he’s the single dad of the boy I’ve been hired to nanny.

It’s near impossible to ignore my attraction to him now that we’re living under the same roof—but I have no choice.

First, this job pays well, and I need the money to move out of my parents’ spare room.

Second, he’s a public figure and there’s no room for me to get caught up in a scandal with him—I can’t disappoint my parents again.

Third, men like Brady were built to break hearts. I barely managed to piece mine back together after my failed engagement and Brady would do irreparable damage if I gave him the chance.

Let the longest three months of my life begin…
