I enjoyed going on Brady & Violet’s journey. And Brady’s son Theo was adorable.

Brady & Violet had great chemistry and banter. I loved watching them find their way to happiness.

I can’t wait for more in this series. I’m not ready to walk away from these characters or their world.

I voluntarily reviewed this book.

I am just loving these Kingsmen football players - it is such a fun series with amazing characters you just want to get to know and love. And Brady Banks was no exception - his story with Violet was awesome! From the second she showed up on his doorstep as his new nanny, there was no way Brady was going to be able to keep his promise to his baby mama to not kiss the nanny. These two just had way too much chemistry to be able to keep away from each other. It was just fun and sexy between them, but they also developed something way deeper than just that. Plus, I loved Brady's mom Lennon - she cracked me up and I definitely need to go back and read that series!

Overall, I can't get enough of this world - it's super addicting and amazing - and I can't wait for Chase's book up next!

I just knew I was going to love this book! Forced proximity, brother’s best friend, and grumpy/sunshine!? Hello perfect combination. It was everything I wanted it to be. I loved how Chase was with Twyla. I love how grumpy he was, yet how thoughtful. He was such a perfect grump. I also loved Twyla, and liked how she fit in with the group as a whole.

The book club scene was everything. I mean seriously, where do I find a book club like that!? Haha. Oh, and don’t get me started on the kitten. Yes, yes there is a rescued kitten. This story. Gahhhh. I loved it. I also loved the little set up for the new series with Twyla’s brother! I can’t wait for Chicago Grizzlies series. Also, these abs covers are fire. Thank you for that Piper Rayne!

I’m so glad I found the author duo, Piper Rayne. I’m enjoying every one of their books I’ve read so far, especially the Kingsmen Football Stars. You Can’t Kiss the Nanny, Brady Banks is the second book in that series, and I have to admit right away that it wasn’t Brady or Violet that stole the spotlight for me; it was Brady’s son, Theo. Theo was so friggin’ adorable! He had my heart immediately when reading his Daddy’s book. Brady may have stolen a piece of my heart, too. He is such a great dad to Theo.

Storyline/My Thoughts: I was looking forward to reading Brady Banks’s book, especially with him being introduced in Lee Burrow’s book. This sexy wide receiver from the Kingsmen is a Single Father who loves his little boy, Theo. Brady has a friendly relationship with Theo’s mother, Hannah. They knew they were better as co-parents and friends and not in a relationship together. They work it out by splitting time with Theo, especially when Brady is on the road for his football games. When Hannah takes a job elsewhere for a few months, they hire a nanny to help Brady take care of Theo, especially during the football season. This is where the FMC, Violet, gets introduced. Brady had a one-night stand with Violet six months ago, and he has not stopped thinking about that night. Violet didn’t think she would run into the guy, she slept with that one night in a hotel since they didn’t exchange names, but here she was now, taking care of his little boy. Yes, this won’t be a problem, or will it?

Here is what I loved about Brady and Violet’s book:

A Professional Football Player/Single Father and his nanny, with whom he had an ONS six months before = Forbidden Romance. This means they both need to keep it professional or give in to their attraction for each other because, believe me, they REALLY like each other. I love forbidden romances, and the author duo, Piper Rayne, made it unbearable at times with how much I wanted these two to give in to each other, especially the FMC. Yes, there is tension between the two MMCs. There is one place where the two MMCs spend a lot of time together – the kitchen pantry. When they do finally get together, it’s HOT!
I did understand Violet’s hesitation about being with Brady. The poor girl. No, I won’t go into details about it. Just know this girl deserved a HEA and someone to love her. Her parents were a handful, too, and I was rooting for her to have someone who liked her for her and did not try to pressure her into someone she wasn’t. Yes, I liked her character.
I loved Brady for so many reasons. I loved his relationship with Hannah, Theo’s mother, and how he is a devoted father. He and Hannah worked well together for the well-being of their son. I haven’t read many books that have this dynamic, and it was refreshing. He may have been a player initially, but after he meets Violet, he knows she is the one and won’t give up on her. (Although there is a scene he has to grovel.) We all love a good grovel scene.
Lennon, Brady’s mama, is another favorite of the story. She runs a sex toy company, and she had me cracking up whenever she came into the story. Lennon ensured Brady knew how to care for the women in his life. (that’s all I’m saying)
Theo is the one that stole the book for me. This adorable little boy and how he loved his mommy and daddy. How he also grew to love Violet, too. Yeah. He stole my heart, especially with how he stuck up for Violet when her parents were jerks to her.
This book was sweet, funny, and a great read right before Superbowl weekend. I don’t even watch NFL, but if Brady and the other Kingsmen were real, I would watch them play in a heartbeat. Brady is one MMC I will never forget, and Violet is lucky to be his gal. Overall, I give this book 4.5 stars. I’m so glad I found Piper Rayne’s books. They are now my newest auto-buy authors.

I’m looking forward to Chase’s book next. He’s been the grumpy football player on the team. The author duo set it up so that readers know ahead of time who is getting their book and who’s the FMC for it, too. I can’t wait!!!

Standalone/Part of Series: It’s part of the Kingsmen Football Stars series, but each book can be read as a standalone.

Steam/Spice:🌶 🌶 🌶

Genre(s)/Trope(s)/Element(s): Contemporary Romance. Sports/Football Romance. One Night Stand. Forbidden Romance. Single Father Romance. Forced Proximity. Football Player MMC. Single Father/Parent MMC. Nanny FMC.

Would I recommend this book? Yes. This book is for you if you enjoy Contemporary Romance stories with a football player falling for his son’s nanny. Single Father Romance + Forbidden Romance = One heck of a good story. 😊

Favorite Quote(s): Putting aside my attraction for Brady is getting harder and harder, especially when he looks at me as if he wants to lick every inch of me.

“I need to reacquaint myself with the taste of your pussy. I can’t stop thinking about it after last night.”…”Don’t you have to get to training camp?”…”I have five minutes. I can make you come in five minutes.”

I have loved reading Piper Rayne’s Kingsman Football series and I really adored You Can’t Kiss the Nanny Brady Banks. I really liked Brady and Violet as a couple, I thought they had great chemistry. Obviously as Violet is a nanny and was Brady and his son Theo’s nanny I liked that she really got along with Theo. Though with it being a single parent romance it’s not like they wouldn’t have gotten along, but I find sometimes in single parent romances the children somehow just disappear from the story.
I found through out the book that I kept hoping that Brady’s ex, Hannah who was actually pretty awesome and I’d love a book for her, would stay in Europe for her job so that her coming back wouldn’t ruin what was going on between Violet and Brady. Cause so often you see the return of the real mother, whether it was welcomed, unwelcomed, planned or unplanned it always spells trouble in paradise. And unfortunately that rang true for Violet and Brady because what was Violet’s place with Heather back even though they were only friends.
As usual Piper Rayne wrote some excellent side characters that I can’t wait for their book, hope they get one or I want to go back to read their book. I’m lookout Brady’s parents cause their single parent romance looks pretty entertaining. I can’t wait to see what Piper Rayne writes next.

Who doesn’t love a single dad romance…!
This is another great story from this writing duo. I devoured this, with their easy writing style and usual engaging characters. Some great humour and fantastic chemistry between Brady and Violet.

Violet is cautious to get involved with Brady and the more we learn about her the more we understand why she is so reluctant to put her heart on the line.
Brady’s a fantastic dad and his son is his focus…. What a cutie!

Loving these football players and can’t wait to learn all about Chase in the next visit with the Kingsmen football Stars….

What a great book! Had a Lil bit of everything.... Drama, a strong woman ,a hot as heck man, I mean what is better than a hot man in tight pants? Lol... It even had a cute little boy .... A book I'd read again.

I thoroughly enjoyed Twyla and Chase's story.
It was everything you love about Piper Rayne's books...fun, playful, steamy, and sweet.

There was so much more to the hulking player than I ever thought possible. Learning more about this man of few words was the best way to start my weekend.
I loved how much of a sap Chase was for Twyla. He did so many things just to see her smile - it was adorable.

I didn't think the grand gesture was needed but it sure was epic. Talk about being out of his comfort zone!

And the epilogue...I got all the warm fuzzies.
Definitely looking forward to the Grizzlies series, I'm super pumped for Miles's story!

Tropes: Grumpy/sunshine, brother's friend/teammate, friends to lovers, sports romance.
4.5 stars

For Violet it was a rebound one-night stand, no names, no numbers to restart her life after she dumped her cheating ex-fiancé.
For Brady he couldn’t forget her and has tried to find her without any luck.
Neither of them are prepared for when they meet again when she’s employed as his son’s new nanny.
They have to stay professional for his son’s sake but the attraction is too strong to resist.
Awesome characters, a wonderful storyline with sweetness, steam and perfect HEA.

Loved loved loved. Piper Rayne has done it again! Honestly everything about this book and this series has had me hooked, and seeing Brady fall in love all over again, and welcome Violet into their modern family, made this book a must read in my eyes.

This has been such a fun series to read! Brady is a professional football player in the need of a nanny for his adorable five year old son. Violet is a law school drop out, living with her parents and loves being a nanny. No one is more surprised than these two when she is hired to be his nanny…turns out they spent an amazing night together 6 months ago and can’t stop thinking about each other. The more time they spend together in the same house the harder it is for them to ignore the sparks between them. These two have an undeniable connection and crazy chemistry. This was a fun quick read with laugh out loud banter. I enjoyed The connection Violet shared with his son Theo, it was very sweet. There was a few times I wanted To reach though the book and shake both Brady and Violet, but mostly I loved every Thing about this book and I’m already looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

Brady and Violet's story is adorable. Brady is co-parenting his son when his ex-partner has an assignment of a lifetime. This is when poor Brady finds out that his one night stand and the woman he cannot get out of his mind is in fact his new nanny. He should have been more involved in this process--is what I am sure goes through his mind when he sees Violet standing in his living room. These two try with all their might to stay away from each other but the attraction is too much and they can't fight it. I loved how Brady finally got his head out of his butt and fought for his happily ever after.

After reading the first book in the series, I was excited to read this book. Although this is a standalone book, I'd personally recommend that you read the prequel and the first book before reading this one.

I really enjoyed reading Brady and Violet's story. Brady and Violet had a one-night stand and didn't exchange names or numbers. A few months later, Violet is hired to be a nanny for Brady's son, Theo. Obviously, they are shocked to see each other again.

I loved the secondary characters. Theo was adorable. I loved that Theo's mom wasn't made out to be evil, which was a nice change from most books. Brady's parents are awesome, especially his stepmother, Lennon. A couple of characters from the previous book made an appearance which was great.

Overall, it was a great read, and I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

I really enjoyed the latest installment to the Kingsman football series. I don’t know why it didn’t click with me in book one, but I remember Brady as a child in his parents, book, Mad About the Banker. I was super excited to have cameos of Jasper and Lennon in this story!
This book had it all. Single dad, sport star, second chance, and, of course, falling in love with the nanny. Theo had to be the cutest child of probably almost any book that I’ve read in the past few years. He was simply adorable, and really moved the story along part, kind of like Brady did in his parents’ book. Violet was really smart and sassy, but she was also shy, especially at first when she realizes who she is nannying for.
I like the way, Theo’s mom Hannah was written. It would’ve been really easy to make her the harpy ex/villain, but I am glad that wasn’t the path that the authors took. I know that Brady was kind of written as a bit of a playboy in book one, but seeing as how this book really concentrated on his relationship with his son, I think that Piper Rayne did a great job of portraying him as a mature man, without sacrificing the playful and naughtiness of his relationship with Violet.
I’m loving this series, and I cannot wait to dive into Chase’s book. I think that one is really going to end up being my favorite. Although, I say that about every book!

Piper Rayne are amazing author team. I’ve been a long time historical romance girly. But these two author have me reading these contemporary sport romances. This book center a round a single dad football player and his nanny. After a one night stand Brady came stop thinking about the girl he took home that night moment ago. With his baby mom going out of the country she hires a nanny in comes in Violet. Violet has never had a one night stand until Brady. After her fiance cheat on her, she tell her self it’s time to move on to another guy.

These two can’t fight their attraction for each other. Can these two find love. I’m so excited to read the next book of the series.

Gah! This single dad romance! Brady is one super hot alpha, but he's even hotter as a single dad. No babies here, just one fun 5-year-old boy. And the way Brady is with Violet.? Super alpha male swoon for me. This was a fun falling in love with the nanny romance. Piper Rayne can't write a bad book! I'm really enjoying the Kingsmen series. Don't miss this one!

This was such an awesome book. I enjoyed how the characters interacted. I loved the premise of the story. Brady was a great hero. Piper Rayne have continues writing wonderful, engaging stories. An added note, I liked the fact that there was not drama with the former partner. They were co parents and it was showed as a positive relationship on the page.

After a one night stand he can’t forget, Brady Banks has searched for his mystery woman only to be floored when she shows up at his front door as the nanny his ex hired to help out when she went out of town for work.

Violet hadn’t forgotten about her one night stand, but she was done with it as she tried to move on from a relationship gone bad. When she realized he was the father of her newest charge, she wasn’t sure what to do other than to keep it professional for the next three months.. After all, they’re both adults.

But, the more time they spend together, the more it becomes clear their attraction wasn’t just a one time thing. And, the more they both want. But, with a five year old’s heart also on the line and relationship baggage scaring them both away from anything serious, they’ll definitely be able to keep things temporary and casual, right?!

I loved this couple! Brady is such a sweet guy, even though he is a dirty talker. He’s also a really loving and devoted father. His co-parenting relationship with his ex just rocks, and he’s down to earth considering he is a pro athlete. Violet, however, truly throws him for a loop. He can see himself long term with her, which is something he never pictured after realizing he and his ex, Hannah were better off as friends. But, Violet has her personal issues and baggage too, including cheating exes and overbearing parents who she seems to disappoint at every turn. The progression of their relationship is hot and spicy, but feels so natural, as do the concerns they are both facing. And, the relationship Violet forms with young Theo is sweet and genuine.

Fantastic romance, spicy scenes . . . that pantry really gets a workout, a step mom with no filter and sweetness overload, You Can’t Kiss the Nanny, Brady Banks has it all! 5 stars.

Brady might be right about his story being the best!! You Can’t Kiss the Nanny, Brady Banks was the second book in Piper & Rayne’s Kingsmen Football Stars series and can be read as a stand-alone but you should totally read the first one too!! It was sweet, sexy, and filled with emotions!


Violet was ready to start her new nannying job since she was trying to get out of her parents house. It wasn’t until she showed up did she find out who her new client was. Not only was he a famous football player, but she may have had a one night stand with him. Would she be able to live under the same roof as Brady for the next three months?

Awe, these two were so cute! I loved getting to see Lennon & Jasper again and Brady, all grown up ❤️ It was such a cute storyline that had me laughing and swooning! I can’t wait to see them throughout the series!

Professional football player Brady Banks normally splits custody of his 5-year-old son with Theo's mom, Hannah, but she'll be working overseas for the next few months and Theo will be with Brady full-time. Knowing that he'll need help in her absence, Hannah suggests hiring a live-in nanny and offers to do the interviews on his behalf. Brady never expects her choice to be Violet Park, the woman with whom he had a one-night stand six months ago and hasn't been able to stop thinking about since. At the time, Violet was on the rebound from a failed engagement and refused to give Brady her number or even her real name. She had no idea that Brady was the client when she applied for the nanny job, but she needs the money and vows to make it work. Even though things are awkward at first, neither can deny the attraction that still flares between them. Will they be able to resist each other when they're living under the same roof?

This funny, sweet story was even better than the first book in the series. I really enjoyed the banter and intense chemistry between Violet and Brady, as well as the fact that he had such a positive co-parenting relationship with Theo's mom, Hannah. Theo himself was completely adorable, and I loved the way his attachment to Violet developed over the course of the story. She never tried to replace his mom or step on Hannah's toes, just acted as another person in his life who loved him.

I highly recommend this book for all contemporary/sports romance and romantic comedy fans and look forward to the next book in the series.
