I loved this book from beginning to end! Sports romances are some of my favorite books and this was no different, especially when the sport is a big part in the story.

Most of the characters are so lovable and I absolutely adored the connection between Theo and Violet. The spice and tension was unreal! I was sweating at times just hoping for something to happen..and the pantry scenes! I’ll never think of a walk-in pantry the same. Violet’s family storyline was interesting and heartbreaking, but felt very realistic. I’m glad she was able to work through her feelings about it.

I really hope to see more of the connection with Violet and Brady in the next book in the series, even if it’s just a mention.

I absolutely loved You Can't Kiss the Nanny, Brady Banks - even more than the first in the series, You Had Your Chance, Lee Burrow's

I am a big fan of Piper Rayne, their writing style and story telling is fantastic.

I thought Brady and Violet were very cute and this was a fun story to read. There wasn’t unnecessary drama, and I liked how Brady and Hannah really shows the positive side of co parenting, and how that really worked for Theo. I liked that both Brady and Violet went through some personal changes to figure out what works for them, and that they followed their hearts in the end.

You Can’t Kiss the Nanny, Brady Banks is the second book in the Kingsmen Football Stars Series. Brady Banks is on the Kingsmen football team and a single dad. When his son’s mother, his ex, has to go away for work for an extended period of time, it is decided that Brady needs to hire a nanny. However, he lets his ex do the nanny search and interview. He trusts her and what could possibly go wrong with that?

Violet Park is looking forward to her new nanny assignment for a little boy, Theo, and all she knows is that his parents are high profile and his mother is going away for work. When she arrives she is more than stunned to see that the father is someone she met 6 months ago, as a one night stand. After she refused to exchange names or numbers that night she hasn’t been able to forget Brady, now she is going to be living with him.

The try to fight the attraction but when they cannot they decide it will be casual and won’t tell Theo. It is tough to keep things casual when living together and helping someone raise their child. I loved how Brady was the one to truly fall first and know his heart. Violet had been hurt a few times in the past so was extra cautious but they were great for each other. I am so excited for Chase’s book, nothing like a good brother’s best friend trope!
Thank you @valentine_pr_ and @authorpiperrayne for the ARC!

Book 2 in the Kingsmen series is wow... I loved Lee but Brady puts even him to shame. The way he is with his son is enough to make my ovaries squeal but the way he is with Violet makes other female parts squeal... You know what I mean lol. He's every woman's dream. He's hot, got a sexy voice and can make you melt with his sweet and sexy words. I just can't with how adorable he is. Every part of him is just so much more than you could hope for. I received a free advance copy to read and review.

Everybody knows Brady Banks but her... in her mind he is just the man that gave her one unforgettable night, so incredible she still thinks about it months later. They agreed that night, no names, no repeats and no regrets... but when she shows up on his doorstep to start her job as his son's new nanny she can't help but regret her choices that night just a little. How is she going to live in the same home with the hottest man she has ever laid eyes on, keep her hands to herself and act like nothing has ever happened between them? It's pure torture...

You Can't Kiss the Nanny is a wickedly entertaining little page-turner that kept me up until the wee hours of the morning, once my eyes found the words there was no turning back!! I just had to know all the details and boy did I ever get more than I bargained for!! These two were pure magic on the page, they had undeniable chemistry and that chemistry lead to some uber steamy moments... but also some very heartfelt ones too! I have really come to love this series and this newest installment is one of it's best, these two brought it all to the pages and left me with an unshakable smile on my face! Highly recommend!

I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher and I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased opinion.

This was fun second installment of the Kingsmen football series!
We’ve met Brady Banks before - when he was the playboy friend in Lee Burrows book. In You Can’t Kiss the Nanny, it was nice to get to know more about who Brady really is and to see him in the role of Dad as well as flirt.

He is paired with Violet and she was an easy character to like and root for. She comes to the equation with her own baggage that colors how she sees situations and influences her reactions.

These two together were awesome, especially when combined with Brady’s scene stealer of a son, Theo. The set up that brought Brady and Violet together was interesting and I found myself waiting for things to blow up in their faces. When things did fall apart, it wasn’t in the direction I expected and that the resolution even more fun.

Since this is part of a series surrounding a football team, the secondary cast is larger. At this point, it is still easy to keep track of everyone and there are a few teasers for what’s coming next!

When Brady and Violet have a one night stand, never did they think they would ever meet again. Brady is a single dad and plays football for the San Francisco Kingsmen. Violet dropped out of law school and to make ends meet is a Nanny. Brady leaves it up to his ex-girlfriend (and baby momma) to find a temporary nanny while she goes away on business. Imagine the surprise to both of them when they meet. The attraction is strong between the two of them, will they be able to work together and nothing happen or will the desire be to much?? Spice level🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ I was given this ARC for my honest review. I highly recommend this series.

Brady was the proverbial playboy pro athlete when we meet him in the first book in this series. I had mixed emotions about him going into this book, and then he shows up as this amazing father who co-parented with his son’s mother in a supportive and respectful manner. Swoon!

Little Theo is adorable and will finish melting what’s left of your heart after his father impresses you as a swoon-inducing sexy, single father.

Violet has been through the emotional wringer from relationship issues (a cheating fiancé) and immigrant parents who never seem to approve of her decisions.

Violet and Brady come face to face in his living room six months after their smoking hot one night stand, when Theo’s mother introduces Violet as the live in nanny and Brady as Theo’s father.

This storyline is sweet, sexy and very entertaining! I loved how Violet was so loving and supportive to Theo as the little boy struggled with his mom being halfway around the world for work.

Brady’s teammates give him plenty of razzing when he tells them who Theo’s new nanny turned out to be. I loved how this storyline was low angst despite several opportunities for it to become angsty. Brady and Violet for having some emotional baggage to overcome, still act mature.

I’m looking forward to the next book in the series and loved how a few girls night scenes set the stage for friendships between Shayna, Bryce, Violet and Twyla.

I received a free ARC from the author and Valentine PR; and I am voluntarily leaving an unbiased review.

Brady Banks is smooth, swoony, a football player, and a single dad. Can he get dreamier? Yes, he can. He knows what he wants and how to treat a woman properly. He might come from money and be a public figure, but he is down to earth.

Six months ago, he had a one-night stand with a mysterious woman he couldn't forget. Unfortunately, she didn't give him her name, and he didn't have any info to track her down until Violet crossed the door of his home as the newly-hire-live-in-nanny for his adorable 6-year-old son Theo. They are so into each other but can't act on their feelings. He is her boss, she has a job, and her heart has been broken too many times.

I liked Violet a lot, but she was also frustrating at times. I could understand her fears and pain. She has issues, but who doesn't? And then, for all the running, it took her five minutes to change her mind. So let the man grovel a bit!

The side characters were amazing. Brady's mom is a hoot, and his dad is super nice. They have the best relationship, and the family dynamics are hilarious. Also, the Kingsmen are super interesting, and their future stories promise to be so good. Overall, I loved this forced proximity, boss-employee, and sports romance.

This beautiful, intriguing woman he met at a club has no idea who he is, and he loves it! No names, no numbers exchanged! Just the hottest night he has ever had! For months he’s tried to find her to no avail! When his son’s mother has to go overseas on a nursing assignment she hires a live in nanny to help him with his little boy. Brady Banks, wide receiver for the San Francisco Kingsmen, is stunned when he meets Violet Park, his son’s new nanny and the mystery woman he has been obsessing over! Another awesome book by Piper Rayne! You’re going to love it!

What happens when you have the best one night stand of your life with a stranger you met at a bar and then find out you're the new nanny to his son? Violet surely never saw herself in this predicament. She didn't exchange numbers with Brady for a reason, but that didn't stop her from constantly thinking about him and the night they shared. When she gets interviewed for a new job she never expected Brady to be the one in need of a nanny but she needs this job and she's willing to forget it all happened if he will. But while they can pretend it's behind them, the tension between them says otherwise. Brady Banks is a well known name and very popular football star. He's a lovely father to Theo but he can't do it all on his own because he has such a busy life. When Theo's mother has to travel out of the country for her job, Brady has to get a temporary nanny. I really love how Brady and Violet tried to deny their feelings for each other as if they weren't waiting for the other to make the first move. One thing I enjoy about stories with kiddos are the cute, heartwarming moments they inspire, and Theo has tons of them! Another thing I also liked was seeing the different relationships Violet and Brady had with their parents because of their backgrounds and their interactions with them.

Brady & Violet 💜

"You Can't Kiss the Nanny, Brady Banks" is the second book of the Kingsmen Footballstars by Piper Rayne.This is Brady and Violet's story.

Once again the author duo has managed to create an entertaining, humorous and all around great story.

Brady and Violet are two characters I liked from the start. Brady is an amazing dad and boyfriend. I loved Violet's development. She is confident and doesn't let her parents' treatment stop her from her path in life.

And five-year-old Theo managed to find a place in my heart very quickly. Every scene with him was a little piece of candy.

I'm really looking forward to the next volume in the series!

I give "You Can't Kiss the Nanny, Brady Banks" 4 out of 5 stars.

Violet's no names allowed one night stand is staring her in the face as her new boss, and she's not sure how she's going to live through the next few months, because Brady Banks is even more gorgeous than he was that night, and that zing she felt is even stronger. But she absolutely cannot go there, cannot afford to not only lose her job, but lose herself in another man who screams trouble. The last thing she wants to do is make more bad choices, and show her parents yet again why she's a disappointment to them.

Brady hasn't gotten his one night out of his mind for the last 6 months and now she's going to be in close proximity for the next few months because she's his son's new nanny. Damn. He can be professional, though, even if it drives him crazy wanting her and not being allowed to have her.

Oh so sweet and swoon worthy, that's exactly how I describe not just this story but Brady and Violet too. He's adorable, cocky and so gone for Violet that I was smiling all the way through. Violet is the kind of heroine I think most women can relate to. She's got insecurities handed to her by disapproving parents and some horrible previous relationships, but she's also got a huge heart and a strong backbone. There was no way Brady was going to live with her and not fall for her because she's that amazing. And then there's the cutest little boy Theo. He's an absolute scene stealer and my favorite character in a story full of lovable characters. I can't wait for the next Kingsman to fall head over heels, I'm now impatient to read Chase and Twyla's story when Over My Brother's Dead Body, Chase Andrews is released.

This was a fun read, with a great mix of sweet and spicy. I love that Brady was so drawn to Violet. They have some intense moments, some push and pull, along with caring for Brady's adorable son. She's hesitant and I loved getting to dig into her story, her history and understanding the how and why to her thoughts. I enjoyed the characters, the closeness of the friends and family around them and the bits of fun that they all have. This is a series I'm looking forward to read more of.

When it was announced this book I was super excited! The forbidden relationship, nanny/boss always gets my attention, add the sports romance trope? I’m a goner. And the wait definitely paid off, because Brady Banks and his family are definitely a must. I swear to everything that I’m not ready to say bye to this family, I hope someday in the future Brady’s siblings has their own books.

Now to the book itself, the first thing it came to my mind when I finished reading: Brady is definitely a giving man (in so many ways)! He’s a 100% the MVP of this story, I loved his relationship with his parents, his teammates, with his cute as a button son, Theo, with the baby momma and obviously with the nanny, Violet. He’s that great quarterback, handsome, funny and caring - the whole package. And his latest (obsession) one might stand, who wouldn’t give her name to him, show up to be the nanny. All pretenses are off.

Violet is a great person, loving, with a big heart, but super hurt by some men in the past. While Theo’s mom was away, Violet, him and Brady surely formed a great family bond, full of compassion and love. But I’m gonna say, they even lasted a long time pretend that their attraction should’ve stayed in the past and when they snapped, it was a beautiful and sexy thing to read. Brady pantry could tell a wonderful steamy story!

It was fun and emotional reading their road to love, they fought their feelings a lot and even though I really think the wrong person asked for forgiveness in the end, the finale certainly worked for them and I enjoyed. Another great book for the Kigsmen Football team. Also, I wouldn’t mind seeing Brady’s mom, Lennon, in all books from now on.

You Can't Kiss The Nanny, Brady Banks is the second book in Piper Rayne's incredible Kingsmen Football Stars series and is Brady, Violet and adorable little Theo's addictive story.
Brady Banks is the Kingsmen's wide receiver and when he's not with his son, he lives up to the football player reputation, keeping his "relationships" strictly to one night, not getting attached to anyone and making sure they don't get the chance to get attached to him and most importantly keeping that side of his life away from his little boy Theo.
But all that changes when the girl he hasn't been able to stop thinking about, the only girl Brady has ever wanted more than one night with, Violet Parks walks back into his life. Ever since the night they spent together six months ago, Brady has been looking for Violet, hoping that their paths will cross once again but without knowing Violet's name, it's hasn't been easy and Brady had started to give up hope he'd ever see her again. The last thing he expected was being reintroduced to Violet as his son's new nanny and her new boss.
Both Violet and Brady are surprised to see each other again, especially like this but it is quickly decided that what happened that night is best left in the past and they should keep things strictly professional between them.
However with chemistry like theirs, they're only able to ignore it for so long, so they come up with a plan, they'll be together until Violet's three month contract is up and then they'll go their separate ways with no hard feelings just amazing memories.
Which in theory would of been great, especially with both Violet and Brady not wanting anything serious but when feelings start to get involved and seeing Violet with his son is making Brady start to feel all the things for Violet and seeing what an amazing Dad Brady is, hearts are quickly becoming involved no matter how hard they tried to fight it.
"So much for the light and breezy affair we'd planned on having.
If I'm honest with myself, I knew it would never be a casual encounter for me. Something about Violet has pulled me to her since the first night we met."
So what happens when Violet's contract unexpectedly ends earlier than planned? Can Brady and Violet admit what they're are feeling for each other or will this mean the end of the family unit they were unknowingly building?
Read You Can't Kiss The Nanny, Brady Banks to find out! You will not regret spending your time with these amazing characters!
There are not enough words to express how much I LOVED this book! I could not put it down, it was so good I read it in one sitting! I absolutely loved these characters and you could not help but fall for them and Theo is so adorable! I have to say Brady Banks is the ultimate book boyfriend, the way he is with his son is truly swoon worthy! This story and these amazing characters stayed with me long after I read The End and I cannot wait for the next books in this incredible series which is quickly becoming one of my favourite Piper Rayne series to date.
I received an arc of You Can't Kiss The Nanny, Brady Banks and I am voluntarily leaving my review.

4.5 Stars!

Another great sports love story from Piper Rayne. I love the relationship between Violet and Theo, and that there was diversity in the characters, especially that the female MC is not a blond Caucasian woman. Its wonderful to see a character of Asian descent be the love interest in a sports romance. The chemistry between the two is off the charts and I also have a good time reading when I pick up a Piper Rayne book!

Steamy, ONS, sports romance, close proximity, single dad

Good addition to the series. The guys meet their matches and fall helplessly in love. The situation sticky. In this case boss/ employee.

Brady had a one night stand that rocked his world. No names made it impossible to find her. Then she walks in as the new nanny for his son.
Violet was getting over a bad relationship. No names - just one night.
Now the two are living in the same house trying to keep it professional. The chemistry is off the charts.
Brady makes us and Violet fall for him. He is a great father. His had no problem flaunting his love for his son. He is his son’s hero. The relationship is too cute. Even his relationship with his parents is easy and fun. They add another layer of laughter and love.
His family endears her to him because she had the opposite with her parents. I love her independence and doing what makes her happy even though it causes friction with her parents. She is smart, sexy and great with Brady and his son.
Very entertaining and an easy read.

I am loving the Kingsmen Football Stars series even though I don't understand a lick of it! Thanks to Piper Rayne and their abilities to create great stories, I like all kinds of sports. LOL Brady Banks is a single father. He has a great co-parenting relationship with his son's mother, but they need a nanny while she is out of town for a job. Enter Violet Park. She's the one night stand who got away. The chemistry and attraction between them has not diminished, but their focus has to be on Theo. Violet is great as a nanny, but finding out about the expectations her family has on her makes Violet feel like a failure. The depiction of Asian family expectation was accurate and relatable. I liked how Violet and Brady were able to balance their wants and needs with Theo's.

Cindy Kay and Aaron Shedlock brought Violet and Brady to life and made their story that much more relatable and realistic. The characters' emotions could be felt.

I received an advance copy of this book at my request and voluntarily left this review.
