The Nanny

Love second installment of this story. Only issue is author sometimes forgets the heroine of the story is black.

Oh my! What just happened in that cliffhanger! There is so much to unpack… blackmail, secrets, turmoil, heartbreak, and passion. This story is also fun, witty banter between Kier’s daughter, Isla, and the main characters. To say I love this story is an understatement. The emotional angst! The drama! What a ride! I was captivated from start to finish, and I was consumed with every word. This story picks up from where Book 2 (The Beast) left off from that surprising cliffhanger. Isla clings to Ella constantly while Ella is also trying to get some semblance of normalcy from what happened to both of them. After the incident, Kier is more determined to keep his daughter and Ella safe. Kier and Ella are two strong people who are perfect for each other. Ella can be naive, but she will speak her mind—don’t let this innocent spitfire fool you because she is a force to be reckoned with. Kier and Ella are forced to admit that their secret arrangement is more personal than business... that they surrender to the forbidden flame that burns between them. Despite their differences, the explosive attraction and passion between Kier and Ella is undeniable and intense—it is off-the-charts HOT! After another incident happens, Kier is set on an unwavering quest to protect his daughter and Ella. The threat is now more discernible than ever after the incident happened. How far will Kier go to protect those he loves? But when you find out that the truth isn’t always what it seems, what do you do about it? Well, find out what happens next when all the secrets unfold, the masks that they hold in place slip off and everything will soon be revealed. The road to Kier and Ella’s happiness seems wrought with blackmail, threats, heartache, secrets, lies, and family drama. There are several twists and turns within the story that will tempt the characters in ways they could have never envisioned. I can’t wait to read the final book. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Such a waste of my time. Bad enough the first wife’s name was Kingsley in the first book and then Kinsley in the next two books, but confusing sequencing and plots were even worse. While I made it through this series, it will be the last I read of Vivian Wood.
