A very cliché kind of story. But still a very good. I must say that the story is very predictable for me. I could have given this a five star if there is a little bit twist in the plot. But over all, the story was good.

Mallory is looking to get out from under her overbearing family and takes a job on an island as a nanny for Rhys' son Oliver. All 3 of these people are in need of healing from past events. Together they help heal each other and become a family! Plus Oliver is really cute! I can always expect a steamy, heartwarming story from Regina Kyle and she did not disappoint me! I recommend this book!

I have chosen not to read and review this tile. While the blurb drew me to the story, I was not engaged with the characters or the way the story was written.

I appreciate the opportunity to review this early title and am looking forward to the next title through your company.

Thanks,
Laura

Mallory & Rhys' story... billionaire and the nanny - predictable,? Possibly. Recommend it? Most definitely!

The blurb tells you the outline of the story, but when you read this you get to know the characters, Mallory who has been molliecoddled because of childhood illness and needs to escape to live a life, instead of just existing. Rhys who lost his wife a few years ago and has since became obsessed with keeping his son safe - he's such a cool wee dude 😊

And they're adorable as both individuals and as a couple. There's a connection which you feel from the get-go. As for the rest of the characters... his staff and her sister are awesome!. Her mum? Stuck up much!

Anyway, good likeable characters, fun, sweet, sexy and a story that will make you smile...what more could you want?!

I voluntarily received an arc from the author and this is my honest review.

Finishing a Regina Kyle book always leaves me wanting...wanting her next book, that is! As far as I'm concerned she can't write them fast enough. A Nanny For The Reclusive Billionaire was worth waiting for. Strong-willed heroines and swoony billionaires are right up her alley. And Oliver is a delight! He might have been isolated from the outside world, but his master of manipulation gene is alive and well. I also developed a serious crush on Collins. Regina's characters are always worth spending your time with. You won't be disappointed. ARC received for an honest review.

A Nanny for the Reclusive Billionaire is exactly what you would think it would be from reading the title. Mallory is a 27 chef that looks for something completely different to get out from under her parents tight hold. She takes a job as a nanny for a very wealthy widower at his private island of the Florida Keys. Rhys has lived a life of controlled seclusion ever since his wife's death three years prior. He loves his son but doesn't know how to give him the love that a four year old needs. These two are drawn together much to both their desires to remain uninvolved. I really enjoyed their story of finding strength within ones self and finding love when you think all is lost. A Nanny for the Reclusive Billionaire is told from dual POV and has a sweet four year old, a brooding but sexy billionaire and a nanny that can bring a man to his knees with her French Toast!

I thoroughly enjoyed this story with great characters and romance. He was a recluse, but needed a nanny and she worked out great. The ending was great. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy and look forward to reading more books from this author.

When Mallory decided to take a nanny job she was expecting to be brought to a island, however she wasn't expecting to find a child that was also held in a bubble. She will do whatever she can to get to the bottom of this and to get the father and child back out to the real world. She doesn't expect to loss her heart in the process.

This was a fun story

4+ Stars

I’m still amazed at how much I loved A Nanny For the Reclusive Billionaire. Single-dads falling for the nanny stories are like my kryptonite, and Ms. Kyle couldn’t have written a better one.

Mallory is a chef working at her family’s hotel. A battle with cancer as a teen has left her with OTT overprotective parents that are slowly driving her crazy, even when everything they do is out of love.

Accepting a live-in nanny position to some billionaire secluded on a private island in Florida seemed like the best way to get some very much needed space. She never imagined all that she would find once she got there.

Rhys lost his wife in a very tragic way which led him to sequester himself and his 4-year-old, Oliver, in his island mansion. Plagued with guilt and many more issues that stemmed from that tragedy, he’s devoted himself completely to work as he didn’t really know how to deal with his now motherless little boy.

Things don’t start in the best of ways once Mallory gets to her post. Actually, one could say things don’t start at all as Rhys fires her on the spot. When a replacement can’t be magically produced, they come to agree that she’ll stay until some else can come take her place. Soon, Mallory and Oliver become attached, and not much long after Rhys must admit that his attraction to Mallory runs deeper than he’d have thought. All of them have issues, though, and they’ll have to overcome them if they want their chance at a happily ever after.

I absolutely loved everything about this book. Mallory was fun, sweet, caring and didn’t let anything drag her down. She was a fighter, and though she had to learn to be more assertive, she was a great character. The way she connected and interacted with little Oliver was more than cute and was probably one of my favorite things about the story. Rhys started off as an implacable workaholic, he even seemed closed off and detached. However, inside he was all heart, and once his self-imposed walls begin to fall he could be tender and charming, downright sexy and the greatest dad a little boy could ask for.

I loved how much Oliver was a part of the story. How entwined in the steamy romance between Mallory and Rhys was the three of them becoming a family.

With great characters, awesome chemistry, plenty of sexy shenanigans and the cutest 4-year-old; A Nanny For the Reclusive Billionaire was a total hit for me in every way and I’m thrilled to have found a new to me fabulous author.

Not the typical man hires nanny falls in love with her story. The characters were very well developed and it takes a while before he lets himself feel anything. She truly falls in love with the baby so it is face paced and a fun read.

Mallory’s family means will but she no longer has cancer and even thought they only what to protect her, she needs to get away to live her life. She finds a job as a chef/nanny and when she meets Rhys, sparks fly. Will Rhys let her stay around long enough to find out more about her? Emotional, steamy and an enjoyable read.

A Nanny For The Reclusive Billionaire was a quick, fun read. Mallory was a strong character which was kind of a change for the nanny-billionaire trope. She’d gone through literal hell and came out the other side stronger with aspirations to become stronger. She wasn’t some fragile woman who needed the big, strong billionaire to swoop in and save herself.
So she broke free from her suffocating parents and took a job as a nanny for an adorable little boy who lost his mother in a pretty horrific way. The romance in this book was amazing but the real love story was between Mallory and Oliver, Rhys’ adorable little boy. They bonded because they understood each other in a way that made me love this story even more.
Regina Kyle did a really great job of making a very strong heroine who only grew stronger by loving little Oliver and his father. She wasn’t a damsel in distress, she was a fighter. One who wasn’t willing to stand by and let Oliver live in the same gilded cage she had for far too long.
I had a good time reading this story and I devoured the book in just a few hours, which was the only downside because I could’ve done with a bit more of Mallory and Rhys. A Nanny For The Reclusive Billionaire also included some memorable secondary characters including Collins and Mallory’s crazy sister.

Kyle gives us a solid read with strong characters in A Nanny for the Reclusive Billionaire. Mallory, Rhys, and Oliver are the perfect threesome. You will not regret picking up this book.

Ahhhh, a sweet romance with a dumb title. Those are often my favorites. A Nanny for a Reclusive Billionaire by Regina Kyle was a super sweet, quick read. Rhys (apparently a popular name for a hero this month), and Mallory butt heads when she arrives on his island for her new job as the nanny/chef for his young son. Who doesn’t love a good nanny/lord of the house trope? Rhys is still reeling from his wife’s death several years prior, and sensing Mallory could cause feeeeeelings, he attempts to fire her on the spot. Rhys’ right-hand-man convinces him to keep Mallory on while they attempt to find another nanny. Of course, in that time, Rhys and his adorbs son, Oliver, both fall for Mallory, as she does the same. Kyle does a nice job of making sure that Rhys’ dead wife doesn’t totally overshadow the story and his growing feelings for Mallory, something a lot of authors fail to navigate well. I didn’t realize it until half way through the story, but this is the sequel to The Billionaire in Her Bed, which I read and very much enjoyed last fall.

A Nanny for the Reclusive Billionaire by Regina Kyle. This is Mallory Worthington and billionaire Rhys Dalton's story.

From the very first to the end of the book I was hooked. Mallory and Rhys' characters were great and I was able to feel their emotions and a connection to them. Oliver, Rhys' son, added to the story too but I loved Collins too. All the characters added to this story. Mallory and Rhys both have things in their life that they need to find a way to live life in spite of these things. Will Mallory and Rhys' fear prevent them from taking a chance on love and happiness?

Check out Mallory and Rhys' story. It was a fun, heartwarming, and emotional read with great chemistry between Mallory and Rhys. I absolutely loved this sweet story!

FYI, contains mature content. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Wonderful. Fun. Bubbly. Vivacious.

I totally enjoyed this book by Regina Kyle. The writing pulled me in to the beautiful love story between Rhys and Mallory. It starts out being a story about loss and becomes a tale of redemption. And the ride is definitely a fun one. Rhys has lost his wife and the mother to his son Oliver, and has not let lose of any of his grief and guilt. Mallory is a cancer survivor and knows a lot about loss. Their path to each other is a tad bit rocky, but definitely one that is worth taking.

I love reading about strong characters, and well rounded, well thought-out characters. Rhys, Mallory, and Oliver were so well written, their story rang true. It was a total joy watching these three people became a family.

And truthfully, how can you not adore an author who realizes that Jane Eyre is way more frightening than Stephen King any day!

Received as an ARC from Netgally.
