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.

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.

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.
