I really enjoyed this book. I love Hollywood romances, and this one was a really great one.
At first you might think. Meh – another one of those stupid little Rich Daddy falls for Nanny thingies.
And yes, it is that, but it’s also so much more!
We get a real insight into the world of Nannies in Hollywood. And of Hollywood life in general. And not the glamorous Billionaire lives. But the real people-who-just-happen-to-be-Hollywood-stars-lives. With all their dreams and fears and issues.
Cara tries so hard to stay away from Brad, but of course we all know it won’t happen. She won’t be able to resist him forever. Even though she’s confronted with mistakes, lies, fears …. problems - with no end in sight. But everyone’s fighting hard for their happily ever after. It might just take a while! And we can enjoy the journey in the meantime ☺

I had some minor problems with the writing. I haven’t read many CD Reiss books, and I can’t remember how her writing was in those, but I didn’t like/enjoy the writing in this book. Don’t ask me what my problem is with the style, because I can’t tell you. It all just sounded weird to my ears.

Also, what I hated, and I almost didn’t even notice it - which makes me hate it even more ☺
… we already knew Brad from a previous book! A book I hadn’t read! I HATE THAT! Why put people in books that are not part of a series! I want to know everything about a character – I want to know that I should’ve met them before! Grrrr. A little mention in the blurb would’ve been nice, that way I could’ve read Shuttergirl first! Or just change the Shuttergirl series on goodreads into Hollywood A-List #1 and change Bombshell into #2!!!
End of rant!

I really enjoyed reading this book. It took me a while to fall for all characters, because they were all a bit weird and bitchy in the beginning. But I fell for them, and now I love them, and I loved the story! I even cried a bit here and there. There’s a lot in there that makes you think.

BOMBSHELL was an adorable, sexy, serious and very interesting take on the Hollywood-Dad-falls-for-Nanny romance! Run to your nearest amazon for your own Brad! This one is MINE! Even though I keep imagining Brad Pitt when I hear his name - ewwwww☺☺☺

This story was so many things. It was sweet and endearing. It was emotional and beautiful. It was sexy and swoony. It is everything you look for in a romance and I loved every page of this book.

Nicole is the cutest thing ever and she definitely was my favorite part of the story. This little girl was definitely a scene stealer. I thought the couple had chemistry that was off the charts from the moment they met and they were absolutely perfect for eachother.

This will definitely be a reread for me. It was heartwarming and left me smiling. I absolutely cannot wait to see what CD will write next.

This book was just ok for me. I enjoyed reading it, for the most part, but there were some things I didn't really enjoy.

I didn't like Brad very much in the beginning. I don't care how hot he was, he was really a self absorbed, entitled jackass. I appreciate that he changed over the course of the book but he was really a dirt bag in the beginning. I always question when someone changes too much. The whole "my love for you, changed my character" schtick never quite rings true for me. I think that being forced to take responsibility for his daughter did change him as well so it wasn't all a complete character flip, to be fair.

I liked Cara but did find her too good and perfect at times Too perfectly pretty, too sweet and caring but ultimately bland.

I did want the couple to end up with their happily ever after, so to me it was an enjoyable romance.

I would recommend this book for anyone who enjoys contemporary romance especially the help/superstar romances.

Such a lovely, lovely read. I swooned and smiled and loved the characters of this sweet, sweet, beautiful swoon worthy romance about a Hollywood superstar and his unassuming Nanny. Brad Sinclair becomes a newly single father when he discovers a Bombshell in the form of his 5-year-old daughter. With literally no clue of how to care for the child his first task and the opening gambit of this story is to find a suitable Nanny for Nicole a character instrumental in the sweet and lovely factor of this romantic STANDALONE story.

Brad's life as superstar playboy changes beyond recognition which is the clear impetus for the development of his bad boy persona who easily won my heart with his sexy good looks, charismatic charm, flaws and vulnerabilities. He's perfectly matched with Cara, experienced Nanny and all round wonderful human being. Both protagonists think they knew where they stand, know the terms of their agreement, an agreement centred around the well-being of the child, but what neither of them expect is to find love and this is where the story develops so wonderfully and gave me all those highly desirable butterfly feelings. I basked in the fairy tale romance and delighted in the magic of the story arc as it took me on a sweet romantic journey with characters who show the perfect level of development and heart.

I really enjoy this author's writing. I read this as an ARC, but it really felt very polished and ready to publish.
I received this ARC before I realized that this was sort of a spin off from Shuttergirl. The H in this story was a supporting character in Shuttergirl. It's been a while so to be honest I don't remember Brad in that story.
Brad our H in Bombshell is a movie star. Very much single. The bombshell: he has a 5 year old daughter.
He suddenly becomes sole parent when his daughter Nicole's mother passes away.
Very near the beginning of the story, the h, Cara is introduced to father and daughter when he's interviewing nannies. Cara's bff, Blakley is actually up for the position. Cara seems to hit off
The POV alternates Brad/Cara.
The chapters are very short-even within a scene. I got to read what each person thought. I usually like short chapters. It keeps my attention while moving the story along. The opposite seemed to happen. The middle really slowed down for me. As I mentioned the writing is terrific. The plot just did move enough for me. On the other hand, it did leave a lot of time for Brad and Cara's relationship. Cara resists admitting that she's involved beyond her nanny duties.
I really liked both characters .Cara is a very strong woman. She's a highly respected nanny. She's conscious of the role she plays in a family she works for. She's had to change jobs to avoid conflicts when a spouse becomes jealous of her role.
Nicole is 5 y/o. She's suddenly had to get to know the dad she' never known. Brad seems lost. He is. He relies on Cara. She comes through. She is rock solid in her care of Nicole.
Nicole is adorable and clings to her new parent AND her nanny.
The build up to Cara and Brad's relationship isn't rushed. Each are afraid of crossing the professional line. Cara much more than Brad. Of course!
I enjoyed their trip to Brad's parents in Arkansas. I loved how his mom and dad seemed just like regular parents. The main title of the series is about Hollywood. I'm so glad that Brad's hometown and his parents weren't stereotyped. That would have bugged me.
After the slow middle, the plot progressed some more & Brad has some secrets that come to light. The reactions seemed realistic and IMO, weren't dragged out.
The ending was very sweet as was the epilogue.
3.75-4 stars.
I'll be reading more from this author.

An emotional rollercoaster ride with a five year old as the prize…

This is the first book in the Hollywood A-List series that can be read as a stand-alone. Some of the characters here were previously introduced in the book Shuttergirl which is a great story.

Life as a Hollywood star is Brad Sinclair’s for the taking, the money, the parties, and the women. Then life throws him a curve in the form of a surprise that lands on his doorstep, five years ago he had a child and her mother has recently died leaving the child in his care. Fatherhood wasn’t in his plans and he has no idea how to be a good father yet this adorable little person needs him now. Will he make mistakes? Absolutely, and that’s how all first parents learn but it’s an overwhelming prospect for this man. Help is found in the form of a gorgeous down to earth nanny whose take charge presence soothes him, makes him feel that he can handle things but she doesn’t want the job permanently.

A nurturer by nature the profession of a nanny really suits Cara DuMont. She takes her responsibilities seriously and abides by the rules, keeping things professional, keeping an emotional distance from her charges, dressing down so as to not attract attention. She avoids celebrity families but after meeting a child desperately in need and after helping the child deal with an embarrassing situation she agrees to consult for the father for a month with her best friend as a second nanny. She doesn’t want to see herself in the tabloids, her friend’s reputation was ruined after getting involved with an employer.

The chemistry between Cara and Brad is highly palpable and undeniable. They admit its existence but wisely decide to do nothing about it while they are in the roles of employer and employee, but good intentions don’t always last. How will they handle what will inevitably come to pass?

This is the second book I’ve read by this author, I really like the character growth of the protagonists that I have seen in her stories. Sometimes we’re forced to grow because of the bumps in the road, it’s how we navigate those things that define who we are. The hero’s antics at the beginning didn’t make him endearing but he grows on you since much of it was a façade, it’s easier to show the world what they want to see but it’s not real. Celebrities appear larger than life but they are just people with the same pains and emotions as the rest of us. We have a man who finally grows up and takes responsibility for past decisions and the consequences that followed in more than one area of life. The likable heroine had the most at risk, she had to decide if following her emotions was worth losing it all. It was definitely an emotional rollercoaster ride for these two and nothing was a given. This was an enjoyable read with an adorable child helping two people strongly attracted to each other make a real deep connection, there were dual points of view and a lovely double epilogue.

An advanced reading copy was obtained from the publisher via NetGalley.

Pokes head out from under rock *whispers this is my first time read by this author* slinks back under rock..

A standalone romance about a Nanny, a Hollywood star, and a love they never expected.
Bombshell by CD Reiss is the first instalment in the Hollywood A-List series and is spoken in ‘Dual Perspectives. In this instalment we meet Hollywood elite bad boy Brad Sinclair, his nanny Cara DuMont, her best friend Blakely and the most adorable five year old you could ever wish to read about. You zip it..Lock it..Put it in your pocket..

Hollywood bad boy Brad Sinclair unbeknown to him six years before he became famous had a brief fling which resulted in a child which he didn't know about. Brad had been contacted as next of kin as his name was on the deceased mother's birth certificate as being the father of her child, the mother had died suddenly in a freeway accident. Life as the party goer was going to change in the blink of an eye.

Cara unexpectedly became this little girl Nicole's nanny by default for a month until a more suitable child minder could be found. She was used to working alongside celebrities and actors.

A slow burn is lit under Brad and Cara which slowly ignites into a roaring out of control fire, even though they both tried to fight their attraction as much as they could once lit it wouldn’t go out.

I wanted a real home. A stable person to spend my life with, and they were in short supply. I
hadn't given up; I'd just stopped looking for a man.
This guy could ruin me. He had all the tools to do it. He was gor-geous and laid-back. He listened when I spoke and had a daughter who was just about perfect.

What I enjoyed about this was the lack of angst, drama, it was just a straightforward romance which made it so much more believable, there was no sugar coating of the story which for me was like a breath of fresh air. I loved the whole glitz and glamour of this story, the unique first meet between them had me loving this story from the get go..

4.5 "love for author" stars.
First time with this author even though she already has many bestselling books out there and I wasn't really sure what to expect from her. I really loved her writing style it is quite unique .
She is a huge standout to me in a genre that can sometimes yield very similar and often unmemorable stories.
The storyline here for instance wasn't very complex but the depth and complexity comes with the multi-layered approach C.D. Reiss gives to her characters and this book definitely reflects the very real world that we all live in today.
I loved reading it. This book rocked! and I will absolutely be reading a lot more of this author in the future.

In Bombshell.. Cara DuMont is the A-List Nanny.... The one they all want. She doesn't do Celebrities, but a cross encounter with Brad Sinclair's five year old daughter and her life is spinning down a road she doesn't want. She agrees to consult for one month... but that is all it takes.
Brad and Cara are the definition of will they or won't they and wicked hot lust!
I'm just gonna say.. THAT SHOWER SCENE!! #Voyager #tentinpants

I didn't dislike this book, but I didn't really like it either.
The thing is, I felt no conection to the two main characters. I especially didn't like Brad. He pissed me off most of the time, I would have gladly smacked him. Cara was ok, I guess, but it angered me how everytime she made up her mind, she changed it the second he smiled at her or something...
So, they mostly annoyed me and that kept me from being invested in their relationship.
Basically, I didn't care.

The story wasn't too bad though, I actually really liked the kid and I'm planning to read Shuttergirl and Blakely's book, if she gets one.

I am relatively new to C.D Reiss, I’ve only read two other books by her. Bombshell is by far my favorite book of hers. I had a constant smile on my face. If you’ve read the blurb you know this is a story about a Nanny trying not to fall in love with her famous Hollywood boss.


Brad is relatively new to Hollywood; he hasn’t fully secured his spot as a Hollywood A Lister. What he has secured is his attitude of I don’t care what people think and how many woman can he bed. Which is a little at odds for how he was raised has a southern Baptist. Hollywood isn’t always as it seems. Brad has his share of struggles and plenty of secrets. He’s as cocky as they come but he has a heart of gold once you get past the playboy facade.

Cara is a well know Hollywood Nanny. She always puts the children first and herself second. She is well known for being one of the best, avoiding scandals and never falling in love with her single father bosses. That is until she meets Brad Sinclair and his adorable daughter Nicole, that he just found out about. She agrees to help Brad transition into fatherhood for 30 days.

The show stopper in this book is Nicole Garcia-Sinclair, the daughter that Brad never knew he had. She is smart as a whip, cute as a button and sassy as they come. She knows what she wants, and she’s not going to let anyone get in her way. She’s a master manipulator with dimples.

This book talks about a subject that is near and dear to my heart Dyslexia. The perception that people have about this learning disability, an what limitations are cast upon the people who have this learning difference.


This is a solid 4.5 stars for me. I you want a book that will draw you in, keep you laughing this is it!

I've heard a lot of good things about Ms. Reiss's books, and so I just had to read one for myself, and I've got to say that I really enjoyed this first book of her Hollywood A-List series. The way this story started had me empathizing with the hero's little girl, as she's been placed with a father she's never even met after having just recently lost her mother. How is a girl so young supposed to deal with such lose? Will anyone be able to help Brad's daughter? However, it was from the moment that the hero and heroine came face-to-face for the first time in this story that I loved, as Brad is used to getting everything his own way and he wants Cara as his daughter's nanny.

Both the main characters kept me entertained from start to finish due to their back stories, their growing relationship, all they go through within this story and how they interact with the hero's little girl. She's adorable and so easy to love that I could understand why Cara finds it hard to walk away from her, even though she knows it's in her best interest to do so, because celebrity fathers as gorgeous as Brad Sinclair are trouble with a capital T. Moreover, I could sympathize with all Cara's been through in her past and could understand her reasons for becoming a nanny. It gives her the chance to share her big heart and kind nature with children, even though it's hard for her not to get attached and hard not to be reminded of all that she's lost. But what I liked most of all about the heroine is that she wasn't afraid to challenge Brad by saying whatever was on her mind when it came to his parenting and how he should handle things differently now that he has a child in his life. No way can he continue the celebrity life -- the parties and his womanizing ways. He needs to set a good example for his daughter and be able to put her first.

While Brad, he's cocky and confident; typical Hollywood type with his attitude and behavior. Not that all celebrities are as much of a womanizer as Brad is or into the parties like he is. Still, I must admit I liked how much the hero grows throughout this story, and how he proves he can be a good father by the tough decisions he has to make for his career. I also liked that he didn't give up on his pursuit of Cara, because they had something special. Of which, their sizzling chemistry shows that, especially once it spills over onto the pages in very steamy sex scenes that do justice to their chemistry.

Overall, Ms. Reiss has penned a really good read in this book where the dirty talk ups the sexual tension and didn't bother me like it sometimes does. The way this story ended had me concerned for Brad's daughter, but I liked how things worked out for all in the end. The hero needed to put his daughter first and he certainly does that with the decision he makes concerning his career. However, it was the epilogue that wrapped things up perfectly, because of the double surprise Brad had for Cara. I would recommend Bombshell by CD Reiss, if you enjoy Hollywood Romances or books by authors Alessandra Torre, JT Geissinger, Karina Halle or Katy Evans.

Sweet, Funny, Sexy, Romance.......this book had it all. It was a perfect love story that made me smile, laugh, sigh and gave me a wonderful HEA!! (The epilogue was absolutely perfect)

Brad Sinclair, Hollywood Bad Boy, gets a shock when he finds out he's a father to a 5 yr old. He can barely take care of himself so he needs to get himself a nanny. Enter Cara DuMont, nanny extraordinaire, but who doesn't nanny to celebrity single dads. But when Cara meets Brad and his Bombshell, Nicole, she knows that her life may never ever be the same.

I would like to say that Nicole stole the story for me. She was adorable, spunky, sweet, and sassy extraordinaire. Her interactions between Brad and Cara were endearing. And most importantly, Cara was a lifesaver in poor little Nicole's world that was thrown completely upside down. Cara was also the tether between Brad and Nicole that created calm and safely. But Brad and Nicole were also lifesaving for Cara. The three of them connected in the most touching of ways.

Brad and Cara started their relationship platonically. While they each felt a spark, boundaries were set and it created a friendship first. They respected one another and saw the realness in one another. It was a sweet courtship in a sea of "Celebrity Dad" and "Beautiful Nanny" craziness. Brad also returned to his home with Nicole and Cara in Arkansas and let life play out there for awhile. His family, his friends all enhanced the story. Everybody's past shapes them and sometimes going home, to a place of safety helps to clear the mind and figure out what's important in your life.

This book was an adorable love story with a perfect side of sexy. I would recommend for anyone who loves romance, humor and a sweet sassy 5 yr old. A story that will leaving you smiling for days because -Dreams Do Come True Teacup ❤️❤️

CD-freaking-Reiss. Gah...I have read single dad stories, but this takes the cake. Cake, and ponies, and donuts. She is one of my go-to authors, and writes these stories that contain so much depth and wit, without being pretentious or emotional for its own sake. And sexy, so sexy. The amount of chemistry is positively electric.

Bombshell...it's just that. Explosive and so unexpected. Hollywood bad boy Brad Sinclair is likely the hardest working man in show biz, but is so full of secrets. Things start unraveling when an adorable 5-year-old girl is dropped on his door step. When you've always lived your life in the moment, wondering about the future does not come so easy. Becoming a father forces Brad to face the music and get his shit together, and that includes hiring help to navigate the world fatherhood. What I love about how his character was written was that underneath all of that party boy image, Brad just really wanted to do right by himself, his family and those around him. When you peel back that shallow, Hollywood layer, you have that man raised by well-mannered southern parents who ingrained their values upon him.

"Us southern boys eat pussy like pie. And I like pie." Best. Brad. Line. Ever. *fans face*

Enter, the nannies, specifically Cara DuMont. I loved her character. She is smart, knows what she wants out of life and refuses to let anything, not even a hot single dad, get in the way of her dreams. One of my weaknesses: strong lead women. But what she also shows us is that love does not make us weak; it adds character, which she has in spades. Allowing herself to fall for Nicole (who is this amazing spitfire of a little girl who is wonderfully endearing and bright) as well as Brad, opens a whole new world of possibilities for her and her life.

I can't complete this review without talking about Nicole, Brad's daughter. She nearly stole the spotlight. The whole time she is vying for our attention, and absolutely gets it. The way this fiery personality was written just stole my heart. I don't personally have kids, but in my experience with others, Nicole's character and mannerisms, down to her fiercely honest nature, were written without fault.

CD Reiss never fails to deliver undying love underneath the smut. It's uncanny how she weaves these stories that keep you wanting more. There were even a few poignant moments that brought tears to my eyes, which occurs in nearly every piece of work she releases. She fills each one with this myriad of emotions that take you on only the best of rollercoaster rides.

I'm giving this one 5 southern stars.

I have read almost every book CD Reiss has written—the bulk of which is BDSM centered. While Bombshell is not her first venture from the dark side to the land of vanilla, it is my favorite lighthearted journey of hers so far.

I love how realistic Brad’s transformation is. He isn’t unlikable, but he is a very selfish Hollywood bad boy. It would have been so easy for CD to suddenly turn him into a responsible, devoted dad once his surprise daughter lands on his doorstep and he finds a competent nanny. Easy, yes, but it would make for a boring story.

Cara is the gold standard of nannies, but she’s only willing to commit to a 30-day “consultant” arrangement with Brad. She’s not afraid of bluntly schooling him in how to be a good single father. Cara has good reasons for wanting to avoid working for celebrity fathers. Unfortunately for her, she has a tendency to become attached to the children under her care, and it’s difficult to guard her heart against Brad’s daughter, Nicole. In addition, her attraction to Brad is both surprising and unwelcome.

Nicole is a sensitive five-year-old with good manners and a maturity that’s unexpected given her age. She really is adorable, but she also has a spoiled side. The fact that Brad and Cara have such trouble saying, “No,” to her becomes rather irritating, and yet I enjoyed the progression of Nicole’s relationship with them.

The slow burn of Brad and Cara’s romantic connection is oh so good. Cara puts up a good fight, but living under the same roof with such hotness is a futile effort. The story is charming and funny, but it also packs a ton of heat. Brad and Cara almost set my Kindle on fire with some seriously scorching sex scenes. There are other side stories and conflicts that add even more interest to the story.

A little bit sweet and a whole lot sexy, Bombshell delivers both with style.

I really love CD Reiss. She can switch between dark and light seamlessly. I really enjoyed this one. For a "Hollywood story" it was very relatable. Cara and Brad were adults facing adult situations with maturity. What a refreshing change. Nicole was adorable as well.

Bombshell is a tale about the seedier side of Hollywood A-listers and their families. How children are really raised. Brad is a movie star that finds out he has a five year old daughter Nicole. Cara is a professional nanny who maintains a professional distance to the parents. Brad hires a reluctant Cara on a temporary basis. Lies are discovered. Nicole steals the book. I was laughing so hard at some of her scenes. Brad made me feel sorry for him and want to hit him in equal parts. I enjoyed this book a great deal. The writing is superb. CD Reiss is brilliant in her writing.

I received this book for free from Netgalley. It was amazing!! I read it in less than 24 hours. I immediately went looking for more books by this author when I finished it. I was sad when it was over. This is a great story and also steamy. The characters are very likable, even when they aren't doing likable things.

3.5 Stars

Bombshell by C.D. Reiss

Review 3.5 Stars

When I read the blurb for Bombshell, I knew I had to read it. Who doesn’t love reading about the glamourous life of movie stars especially a hot commodity like Brad Sinclair. Before I get ahead of myself, if you read Shuttergirl, you already met Brad, if you didn’t, that’s ok. An adorable precocious 5-year-old was dropped onto his lap, one he didn’t know he fathered. After losing her mother in a car accident, Nicole was taken to Los Angeles after it was found out that her dad is none other than Brad Sinclair. Brad needs a nanny like now, and the only one he wants is the one that’s has calmed his sweet daughter down and that would be Cara Dumont.

Cara is nanny extraordinaire to the rich elite. She loves her job and taking care of children but after having been let go from her previous employer, she had asked her agency for a normal couple without the hangups of a wife being intimidated by her good looks. She DOES NOT want to care for another actor or actresses’ kids, but what Brad wants, Brad gets. After a game of nine ball, she said she would help him out for 30 days only if he took on her best friend Blakely since she’s has been basically blacklisted in getting any nanny gigs and also any acting gigs (think Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck situation).

As you may already know just by the blurb so this isn’t much of a spoiler, the mutual attraction between Brad and Cara was pretty intense, but Cara just wanted to stay under the radar from anyone alluding to any inappropriateness between her and her employer. Cara also wanted for Brad to grow up, stop his partying ways, especially with his 5-year-old around. Ah Ms. Nicole, I loved her, but like most kids around her age, she manipulated these two to her advantage. Kids are anything but relentless in their pursuits of getting what they want, that’s for sure.

So why my low rating? I adore Ms. Reiss and her writing, that’s never going to change, but I wasn’t a fan of Brad, shocker. Although his southern good boy charm was nice at times, I felt he felt a sense of entitlement and sometimes lies can lead to a big bite you in the ass, whether unintentional. Also, I really liked Cara and especially loved how she would get up on Brad’s face regarding his parenting skills, and I’m not even upset she fell for Brad because the heart wants what the heart wants. Her upbringing, although adventurous since her family moved around a lot, she was still so lonely. She had a great relationship with Nicole, although as I mentioned, I did feel Nicole would manipulate the situation. I cannot complain about the sexy times, tamer for what we all expect from Ms. Reiss, yet this is a more contemporary type read, so that was fine for this book. I guess I was expecting more angst in the plot of the story. It got good towards the end especially the epilogues. Another case of “it’s not you, it’s probably me” scenario for this book for me.

*An ARC was provided via Net Galley for an honest review.

Bombshell is a story about a shocking surprise that turns a man’s life upside down and how he chooses to react and handle this “Bombshell”

This is the second book by CD Reiss that I have read and I am so thankful I gave this author another chance and chose to read this book. I truly enjoyed this book!! I have always enjoyed a story about a single father and also about a Hollywood A Lister. This story didn’t disappoint me at all!!

I found the characters to be interesting and relatable. I also found the storyline engaging, fun, sexy and even a little bit sweet. (thanks to Nicole) I couldn’t help getting lost in this book and these characters lives. There is something to CD Reiss’s writing that just sucks you into the story. I honestly felt like I was in Hollywood living these characters lives. Her words were descriptive and to the point. I thought the pace and flow of this story was spot on. I never felt that this story dragged but also don’t think anything was rushed either. Overall this was just a really well written book.

Bombshell is a standalone novel told in Dual POV. You could classify this book as a companion novel because we do meet Brad Sinclair in Shuttergirl (also a standalone novel). But you in no way need to read Shuttergirl before reading Bombshell. I didn’t even know Brad was a character that we met in another story until after I had read the book. We do also see the characters in Shuttergirl in this book, but as supporting characters. What that did was make me want to go out and read Shuttergirl now!!!

In this book we follow the life altering event that changes Brad Sinclair’s life and how he handles the changes he has to face. Brad is an A-List Hollywood Star who’s life is turned upside down when a 5 year old little girl named Nicole is dropped into his lap. He is determined to not have this change his life or his career. This is where Cara DuMont comes into the picture. Cara works for a nanny agency, but she is set against working with the Hollywood celebrity parents. So when she is helping her friend Blakely with an upset 5 year old in the bathroom, she is thrust into Brad’s life also. Nicole is an adorable 5 years old who has lost her mother and thrust into her father’s unknown life and has some trouble acclimating. She forms an instant bond to bathroom girl (Cara) Knowing this Brad is determined to have Cara as his nanny and won’t take NO for an answer. What we get after that meeting was an interesting and entertaining journey for three characters, all trying to figure out how to make this new situation work.

Will Brad win over Cara in the end?? Can Cara keep her feelings in check when it comes to Brad and Nicole?? What happens when secrets are revealed….will Brad and Cara come out together in the end??

Make sure you read this fun, and sexy single father romance story to get those answers!!!

If you are a fan of the A-List Hollywood celebrity love story or like a single father romance novel, then you need to read this one. I think it is one of my favorites in this style book.
