I found Piper Rayne through this series and she (this duo of authors) has become a favorite. It started with the prequel FALSE START, then I listened to YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE, LEE BURROWS. This is book two for the series, YOU CAN'T KISS THE NANNY, BRADY BANKS.

This time I read and listened to the story so I didn't have to put it down! I became invested in this world and characters quickly. They are so easy to like and there's not too much drama. Brady and Violet were perfect for each other. It was a good heartwarming story with parts that were heartbreaking as well. A perfect standalone, but why wouldn't you want to read the from the beginning? Definitely worth a reread or relisten once the whole series come out.

Aaron Shedlock and Cindy Kay are excellent narrators. They bring this book to life with emotional performances. Love their voices. Perfection.

There is just something so alluring about a single dad-nanny romance. Might be the ovaries exploding swoon factor of a man caring for his kid. Might be the forbidden thrill and hide& seek games. Might be the sexual tension and the heartache coming in future.And when the dad is a hot NFL star, the attraction just gets doubled. You Can’t Kiss the Nanny, Brady Banks by Piper Rayne hit all my weak spots with the witty and heartwarming and steamy moments blended together perfectly.

NFL star Brady Banks is a responsible father and amazing co parent. When his son's mom has to go to Europe for an extended period for her nursing work, he has to hire a nanny as his session is starting soon. When the nanny appears at his door step, they are both shocked. They had a memorable one night stand few months ago and Violet didn't give him any whereabouts or even name. Now they have to stay together while fighting their chemistry.

Brady Banks is a perfect book husband. He didn't have any romantic relationship with his son's mother but he works with her for everything. He is sweet and caring and charming. He couldn't forget Violet after that night but had no way of contacting her. Now that she is here, he has to respect her work but he cannot deny his feelings. Violet has a difficult family life and has just come out of a bad relationship. She wants to be independent and strong. Her Korean parents don't like how she didn't choose any prestigious career and constantly makes her feel low. And that relationship made her sceptical about men. So it was a lot to handle. Brady was patient and understanding and all kinds of swoony. Sometimes her hurt was getting in the way. She is such a beautiful woman inside out. She just needed a man like Brady Banks to show that over and over again.

This is the second book in the series. I've been waiting for this once I knew it was a nanny and single dad romance. Brady is such a good dad. You know instantly how much he loves his little boy Theo. He is need of a nanny and turns out his unforgettable one night stand becomes the nanny to Theo. Things are about to get pretty interesting when they're in close quarters all the time. I love the bond Theo and Violet create. It melted my heart. Fans of Piper Rayne are in for a treat with Brady's parents. I'm really enjoying these football guys. I love the banter between them when they are together. It makes me want the rest of their stories so much. I can tell you the tease for the next book sounds like it's going to be so good! You don't want to miss out on this book. It had the perfect combination of heart, heat, and humor. The characters pulled me right into this one. Both Brady and Violet's pasts have left their hearts a little bruised and impacts the thought of love. They just want to have some fun, but with the connection they have it's going to be hard to stick with the plan. Enjoy their journey these two take because it's a beautiful one!

The second book in the series and man this one didn’t disappoint just like the first one. This one centers around Brady Banks who plays for the San Francisco Kingsmen. The single dad to a 5 year old son that we all need in our lives. Violet is the sassy girl that is perfect fit to be his nanny. But there is a slight problem as they have met before. There is chemistry between these two that is off the charts. I really enjoyed this book. It was a great addition to the storyline of the series. I cannot wait for the next one in the series.

Family first. That's how it has to be when you're co parenting a child as a single father. But when a fluke one night stand doesn't leave your memory and trying to find her for months after leads you to no where, only to have her magically turn up as your son's new nanny, lets just say that you are beyond stunned. Then a tall glass of cold water gets splashed in your face and you realize priorities and boundaries have to be set. Remember, family first.

You Can't Kiss the Nanny, Brady Banks by Pyper Rayne, is the second book in the Kingsmen Football Stars series, I must first start by saying that I am a fan of sports romance and this story is part of that type of romance.
Once I started reading it I was glued to the pages, Violet and Brady, along with his son, Theo, Brady's parents and even Hannah, Theo's mom, I loved them, all the characters are wonderful and I enjoyed every time of reading.
They meet casually and end up spending the night together and the next morning, although Brady wants to continue spending time with her, Violet practically runs out of the room. Months later, Violet ends up at Brady's door to be Theo's babysitter and that's where the story between these two characters begins to develop, with funny, crazy moments, tenderness, love, friendship, family ties, even tangles but always with a lot of love.
It's a story worth reading, and the authors leave us with a few hints of what might happen in the next book in the series. Highly recommended.

I am loving the new Piper Rayne series!!! Their football sports romance has me hooked and I just want it to go on forever!! I loved the story line with the taboo romance - boss/close proximity/sports. The story of where two people have a passionate one night stand with no strings attached - then find each other again years later.

You Can’t Kiss the Nanny, Brady Banks has its hilarious moments. My cheeks are still hurting from smiling so much. This story was fun and has a lot of chemistry! You do not want to miss out!!

This is the second book in the Kingsmen Football Stars Series, that can be read as a stand alone. A second chance romance for both Brady and Violet. Two people that shared what they both thought was only supposed to be a 1 night, not a lingering wanting for more. The rules of the night left them both wanting, but for Brady it left him searching for her any and everywhere he could think of.
Now him needing a live in Nanny and her looking for her next client, neither one suspects to find the other when he walks through his door to meet the new addition to his household.
This is a funny and endearing romance. A single father who co-parents likes a boss and a wonderful little boy that worships his parents. Bring in Violet and the fired that lit them up that night can not be smothered because of their new roles.
Piper Rayne has given us yet another glimpse into the world of the Kingsmen football players making you crave ore and more of their stories. The connection between the team mates is an admiral bond that will have you feeling all warm and fuzzy and laughing at the ribbing they give one another. This is a perfect sports romance!

It's unusual for a woman to crowd the mind of Brady Banks but that's exactly what happened after his one night stand with a sexy woman who won't tell him her name. Rejection isn't something Brady is used to, to say the least. He tried to track her down but with no name to go on, he struck out. Imagine his surprise when she turns out to be his son's new nanny. His new live-in nanny!

Despite saying nothing can happen between them, chemistry can't be denied. But when her assignment comes to an abrupt end before they've worked out what everyone already knows, will she disappear again?

Cute, quick and sexy read. Violet frustrated me a bit when she couldn't get out of her own way but I understand the trauma of bad relationships. Brady was awesome. A truly stand-up guy and an amazing dad. Love the cameos by the team and Brady's hilarious family!

I loved this book! I liked getting to see a different side of Brady compared to what we knew about him from the other books. I loved Violet and how she was with Theo.

I received this free eARC novel from the author and Valentine PR. This is my honest review.

I adore single dad, sport romances, so it's no surprise that I feel completely for Brady Banks. He may want to be looked at as a playboy, but after reading this book we see what an amassing, humble man he really is.

The attraction between Brady and Violet was super intense from the very beginning. They definitely had a lot of restraint being around each other and ignoring their feelings, but it was only a matter of time, really.

Theo is the best thing ever. It's funny cause I despise kids in my world. Absolutely hate them. But kids in romance novels with single parents? I gobble these books up like crazy. It really doesn't make sense, but Theo is so sweet and wears his heart on his sleeve so much. Seeing him so emotional for many moments in this novel definitely teared me up at times.

I am so glad Brady got his story and that I was able to dive into it! I loved all of it and it's definitely become one of my favorites so far, but I honestly think Chase or Miles may take the gold. Time will tell when I get my hands on their stories in the future!

I am loving the Kingsmen series from Piper Rayne! They do sports romance so well, and Brady and Violet's story is one of my favorites they've written.

Brady and Violet shared one night together months ago, so both are surprised when they find out she is his son's new nanny. The forced proximity and chemistry they share made it obvious that their relationship would be more than just friends. I really liked them as individuals as well as together.
There was certainly plenty of humor and fun as the story progressed, but also no shortage of emotional and romantic moments too.

I truly can't recommend this book and series enough. Piper Rayne is one of my favorite author duos and I will read anything they write!

My Thoughts::

I love this addition to the Kingsmen Football Stars series. Brady Banks is swoon worthy, and definitely book boyfriend material. This is a story about a second chance , forbidden love romance between Brady and Violet, when she suddenly shows up at his door step for the nanny gig. The banter and connection between these two is spicy in the best way! I loved the theme centered around a healthy shared custody and new found family. Such a cute story and another hit by Piper Rayne!

You Can’t Kiss the Nanny, Brady Banks by Piper Rayne was a fun and charming close proximity single dad romance. This is book two in the Kingsman Football series and gives us Brady and Violet’s story. Brady had an unforgettable night with Violet six months ago he has not been able to forget. Imagine his surprise when Violet becomes the live-in nanny while his ex is travelling for work. They can keep it professional, right?

Theo is the most important priority to Brady. No woman has ever mattered, until Violet. He is protective, caring, and charming and loves Theo with all his heart. Violet’s heart has been hurt so much over the last few years and trusting anyone new is the last thing she wants. And yet, they cannot deny their chemistry and connection. But is this only temporary or is it more?

I loved watching these two fall, even as they tried to deny it. And Theo, he was adorable and charming just like his dad. It was easy to see why Violet fell for the Banks boys as hard as she did. Their journey was sweet, fun and had a bit of angst.

Happy reading!

Thank you to Valentine PR for the advanced copy of this book.

As a big fan of Piper Rayne I was really pleased to get offered a chance to read and review the 2nd book in the Kingsmen football series.

This book delivers everything I have come to love about Piper Rayne stories. There are hot men, strong women, dirty talking with steamy scenes and characters that are relatable and real.

This book sizzled from the beginning with the one night stand. When Violet walked back into Brady’s house as the nanny to his son, the sexual chemistry started to build. This story made me wish I had a pantry!

Theo was a great character and I can totally relate to the Lego obsessed child! I even liked Hannah and the relationship that she had with Brady. OMG to Lennon she is just something else and I think I would be a bit embarrassed to receive her gifts and advice.

This story is definitely one worth reading and I can’t wait to read the next one!

I have been looking forward to Brady Banks' story and it was worth the read. I loved knowing his real, cautious, loving dad side. And I loved how Violet fits into their family. I loved seeing how Brady feels whenever he saw Violet with Theo, his son. I think it's really sweet. Their story is just so easy to read. There's no drama apart from their own individual issues. But it was resolved pretty easily and quickly.

I can not get enough of this series! With Piper Rayne's signature charm, witty banter, and emotional richness, You Can't Kiss the Nanny, Brady Banks sparkles with rom com charisma. it has tropes I adore, chemistry for days, endearing characters, and all those swoony, feel-good happies I get from a Piper Rayne story. This was such a lovely escape- and the narration was also fantastic! This Kingsmen world is stealing my heart completely!

Looking for some football romance after the Super Bowl? Look no further...
Brady Banks is your next football player crush!

Brady and Violet had one steamy night together six months ago. Imagine their surprise when Violet gets hired as the new live in nanny for Brady's son.
"𝐌𝐲 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐬𝐢𝐱 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬 𝐚𝐠𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧'𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐲 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝."

This was a sweet and enjoyable read. I could not put it down!
Brady is a great father and has wonderful parents. And he is generous 😏
Violet has been through a lot and I could not help but want her to be so so happy. The side characters in this book are great additions as well. Piper Rayne wrote about healthy coparenting and I loved it. That little boy is well loved by both his parents.
