I really enjoyed this single dad romance. Brody is left more than a little damaged by the end of his marriage. Amelia is a beautiful character and I loved her quiet strength.

This was my first read from this author but I will definitely seek out more. Highly recommend

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC.

There was nothing special about this book. I love me some sports romance but I think it’s been done so many times, that here lately there has not been anything special or new or even creative about them.

This book was just okay. Nothing memorable about it. The story wasn’t anything that I haven’t read before. It was just a quick romance. There was nothing surprising or any wow factors.

The little girl was super precious though.

The story is unbelievable predictable to the point it is laughable.

The story is pretty much what the synopsis tell you without a single surprise. It is boring lacks creativity and where is the author voice or personal touch. This could have been written by any 100 author out there. If the author has a voice she isn't using it to create but to just sell a story. The lack of creativity, typical characters and predictably leaves the reader uninterested.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher Entangled: Brazen for the advance copy of Melynda Price The Nanny Rules



I am almost embarrassed to admit I read this book.

I enjoyed this book even though the plot seemed slow much of the time. The hero, Brody, is a widowed NFL star and the heroine, Amelia, is a nanny who accepted this position to escape her family and past. There isn't much of a surprise with story as Brody and Amelia fall for each other. However, both have major issues and secrets. I adored Brody's daughter, Lily.

Overall, I found this book enjoyable although predictable.

I was given a free ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book didn't really do it for me however I was really into the author's writing style so I will definitely give her another shot.

I finished this one a couple of days ago, and I know that I thought it was ok but, that's about all I remember. It was a face paced story that didn't pack much of a punch. I knew what I was going to get going into it and it's exactly what I got.

This is a trope I enjoy but one that can only be written so many ways. There wasn't much drama (maybe a little) but there was loads of sexy times. I found the heroine to be a little bit of a push over, and didn't always like the hero. I loved him when he was with his daughter, but outside of those times I had a hard time warming up to him. Although I'm not necessarily a fan of angst, I would have liked to see a little more resistance. These characters have issues and they were resolved a little too quickly for my tastes.

All in all, I enjoyed the book. I think if you like your scenes steamy, and your boys bad *wink wink*, you will enjoy this one.

Since becoming a single father, I have two things that keep me sane my daughter Lily and playing football for the NFL. But when my meddling sister hires a nanny without my knowledge, I’m not thrilled to come home and find the woman has taken over my house. When I started reading I couldn't put it down.Melynda Price is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.Can't wait for the next book.

It’s okay. It’s easy to read, sweet characters. If you read romance you will have read the storyline before, nothing original to it. But if you fancy a quick sweet read this one fits the bill.

Leading with sexual tension then building it into something more, The Nanny Rules seems like a superficial nanny/single dad romance at first, but slower gets much deeper. The story follows Amelia, a woman who is overqualified to be a nanny, but takes a temporary job acting as an NFL star’s nanny when she needs to leave home for personal reasons. When she meets the newly widowed Brody, attraction crackles between the two immediately. But Amelia thinks Brody is grieving his wife, and Brody knows that his cheating spouse did irreparable damage to his heart. They fight their attraction until it can no longer be ignored, then Amelia slowly tears down the walls around Brody’s heart.

I’ve read many books by Melynda Price, and while this one is not my favorite, it’s still a solid read. As I began reading the book, it seemed pretty shallow and I was surprised because that has never been the case with her books, It took a while, but the story got much deeper and the relationship richer as these two slowly revealed their pasts to one another. Brody is a great guy but a truly broken one, and it took a strong, patient woman like Amelia to put the pieces back together. The writing in the second half of the book is great, and I was really drawn into the richer story there. Thank you, NetGalley, for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I loved Price’s fighter series, so I was excited to read this book and it ultimately did not disappoint. There is definitely potential for more stories in this world, and I look forward to reading them.

As a huge football fan I am always hesitant and excited to read a sports romance with football as the backdrop. I thought Price did a good job incorporating it and also keeping accurate (minus the Browns winning a Super Bowl - that's pure fantasy).

I found the main characters, Amelia and Brody, likeable enough, although some of the decisions Amelia made seemed incongruent with her having a masters in psychology. As with most romances where kids are prevelant to the story, I loved Lily. She was adorable and added to the story.

However, there was nothing to separate The Nanny Rules from the hundreds of other sports romances (and romances in general) out there. Amelia and Brody have baggage that causes issues. Brody doesn't want a relationship but of course Amelia talks him into it and apparently he is incapable of controlling his urges. They fall for each other. Poorly communicate. And then there is a big gesture.

The writing isn't bad though and I really liked both Penner (Brody's teammate) and Julia (Amelia's friend and Brody's sister). I wouldn't mind seeing this be turned into a series with these two as a feature (possibly together?) and a more original plot.

The nanny/parent trope is one of my faves and this one did not disappoint. It did start rather suddenly as there was no introduction of the characters but you do learn their backgrounds as the story progresses. Amelia has just graduated as a child’s psychologist but, because of some family turmoil, has taken a job as a nanny to cute little Lily. Lily’s father, Brody, a widowed NFL player, reluctantly accepts Amelia into his household. Because of a betrayal of his now deceased wife, Brody is now guarded against relationships with women. However, there is no denying the scorching hot attraction between Brody and Amelia. The story that follows is predictable but well told. Great characters, fiery love scenes, engrossing story, I will definitely look for more from this author!

Amelia has a new job as a nanny to Lily. She quickly falls in love with the little girl, and then starts to fall for her father too.
Brody is a single parent, left to bring up his daughter after his wife was killed in a car accident. Finding out his wife was cheating on him has left him unable to trust, and he does not want another long term relationship. Will he give Amelia and chance?

Pretty steamy, the romance is pretty basic, but I’m assuming you don’t read these for the plot. Solid three

My new favorite type of romance is the nanny and dad romance. This one was one of the best I have read in awhile. The story was written very well and the chemistry was hot and I could feel it coming off the pages. The characters were made for eachother.

I really enjoy sports-related stories so this book had a lot going for it to start with, but I really liked the way the author developed the characters and set up the whole story. I love Amelia (Mia) and the way she relates with Lily, Brody's 4 year old daughter. Her background as a child's psychologist puts her in the perfect position to help Lily cope with and bounce back from losing her mom and Brody to come to terms with what he dealt with in the past year. Both are hurting and in need of tender loving care. Amelia has a back story with her crazy family that makes her real and believable.

The heat between Mia and Brody is over the top, so if you don't like your story a little spicy then it might not be the right book for you, although I didn't feel that it was all about sex scenes. I liked the struggle that they (Mia and Brody) were put through to try to keep their hands off of each other and Lily was such a cute little gal who already knew how to manipulate people for her own gain.and she really, really, really wants a new mommy. It was fun to have a hands-on dad in the story and I thought the interaction between the 3 main characters was essential to building a believable story line.

I received an Advanced Readers Copy in exchange for my honest opinion and I am glad to have found a new author to follow.

By skipping around, I did finish this one. I felt it started off too sudden. We should have had a small introduction before BAM they meet. I also felt this one was a bit too predictable. It had nothing original.
I did enjoy how it ended though. And the little girl was very sweet.

The Nanny Rules was my first book by author Melynda Price. I was super excited to read it based on the sports genre and also the synopsis.
However, I just could not get into it. I will try other books by this author, but unfortunately this one didn't work for me.

Romances about nannies are a dime a dozen and I have read some really great ones and some really not great ones. Melynda Price is a new to me author so I went into this book with no real expectations and was pleasantly surprised. Brody is an NFL player who lost his wife a year ago and has no intention of hiring a nanny at all, muchless one he to whom he is instantly attracted. Amelia is trying to live her past behind her while figuring out the next step towards her future in child psychology. They both care deeply for Brody's daughter Lily and have great chemistry with each other. They just need to decide if that is enough of a foundation on which to try to build a relationship. There is no over the top drama in this book which some people may find boring but I found refreshing. I would definitely read another book by this author.

I enjoyed this book. I'm a sucker for sports romances and this was just enough for me. I didn't see too much character development but nonetheless, it was a quick, fun read.

Thank you NetGalley, Melynda Price and Entangled Publishing for and Arc of the nanny rules. I have seen and read a lot of books with the don't fall for the nanny trope but I must say I was very pleasantly surprised by this book. I love a good sports romance too so it was fun that he was in the NFL.
Brody is an NFL player and single father to Lily. When his sister goes behind his back and hires Amelia to be the nanny. What he doesn't expect is to be so attracted to her but lily loves her so he has to keep his hands off... or does he?
I really enjoyed this book because the chemistry between Brody and Amelia was on fire. I thought the story was well written and enjoyed their progression as the story continued. This was my first book by Melynda Price and I can't wait to check out more.
