Heartbroken after she caught her fiance cheating, Violet decides she needs a rebound. A one-night stand with no name, no numbers shared after. After months, the guy turns out to be the dad to the little boy she will be nannying for a few months.
Brady didn’t expect to see her again. She’s been on his mind every day since that night of passion. Now he’s her boss, and she’s supposed to be off limits. But the heat is still there; they can’t seem to turn it off. Brady has been unable to shake his feelings for her; the same fiery attraction that brought them together that night has lingered on even now after a few months.

You Can’t Kiss the Nanny, Brady Banks by Piper Rayne, is a cute contemporary romance with a single dad and comedy. It has a boss/employee and close proximity that’ll take steaminess to high heat. If you love nanny romances, a touch of friends with benefits, and sizzling heat, this book will be a worthwhile read for you.

I love how Theo is present in the story. In some of the single-parent romances I’ve read, the kids don’t often show up or have an effect on the plot. They’re just there to give an excuse for the main characters to meet or be next to each other. It’s not the case with this one. Theo’s scenes are my favourite. And I love how Violet is with him. She’s a great nanny and friend.

The romance was well written, and even though this story isn’t really one that I haven’t read before, theirs felt unique. The difference in their relationship with their parents and different ways of life. Violet’s parents are Korean, and they believe that you’ll have a successful future if you’re either a doctor or a lawyer. It was sad to see how the difference was so clear and how even Theo caught up on it.

Violet had a few moments where I got annoyed at her but I understood her better with each chapter. She was scared of getting her heart broken again, so she decided to be careful with it. And Brady wasn’t sure if he could make it work between them, having Theo get attached to her and then things not working out will make this whole thing between them more complicated. Their love for each other and Theo along with the way this book ends is just flawless and perfect.

5 Star Review You Cant Kiss The Nanny Brady Banks (Kingsmen Football Stars #2) by Piper Rayne

I never thought I would love a series as much as I love Piper Rayne’s Bailey and Greene families but I should have known better. The Kingsmen Football Stars is quickly becoming another favourite series.

Whenever I pick up a new book by Piper Rayne I know I am in for an emotional, witty well written story that will leave me with a smile on my face. You Can’t Kiss The Nanny Brady Banks ticked all the boxes for me. I was hooked on single dad Brady and Violet’s second chance at love story from the first paragraph and don’t get me started on little Theo, Brady’s son, he was so cute and almost stole the book away from our couple.

All they had was one night, but neither Brady or Violet could forget it. Imagine their shock when Violet turns out to be the new nanny hired by Theo’s mother to help Brady out while she is overseas working. Brady and his ex may not be together but they do have a great relationship and are both focused on doing their best for Theo.

I loved the journey that these two embarked on. They both tried so hard to ignore the sizzling attraction that sparked between them but the heart wants who the heart wants and once they crossed the line, all bets were off.

The banter was witty, the chemistry scorching, the camaraderie and interference by the other players who all have an opinion just added to my enjoyment of the story.

Another winner for Piper Rayne.

Violet and Brady first met six months prior when they had a one night stand. Neither could get the other out of their head. Brady went so far as to look for Violet but didn't have any luck until Hannah hired her to be the nanny. Hannah is Theo's mother, who co-parents with Brady, and is not the typical woman you would expect in a story but quite realistic. Hannah cares about her son and is willing to do what is necessary to make sure he is taken care of.

I thought this book was cute, I'm a Lee Burrows fan what can I say, but I still enjoyed this book. The three of them are cute together and you can tell from the get go that Violet and Brady were meant to be together. No matter how hard they tried to deny it, I mean the pantry did get a lot of visitors. I love seeing the guys on the team interact and you can feel the brotherly comrade between them. I cannot wait for the next book, I think that Chase and Twyla's story is going to be a fun ride.

Received ARC in exchange for voluntary honest review

I will NEVER regret reading a book by Piper Rayne. Every book/series they create, they also develop this world that will completely captivate you. I am obsessed with all these characters and I can’t wait to find out more of their stories. Brady Banks is no different, I completely fell in love with him!

Brady Banks is the wide receiver for the Kingsmen football team. Six months ago, he had an ONS with a woman that he couldn't stop thinking about. Unfortunately, she refused to give him her name or number. Now, in the present, Brady is having to hire a live-in nanny while his son’s mother goes out of the country. To their surprise, Violet, the girl from the ONS, walks into Brady’s house for the position.

This book is filled with so many hilarious moments. And the sexual tension while Brady and Violet try to stay away from each other.. WOW. Brady’s mom Lennon adds so much laughs to this book, especially with her openness about sex and handing out vibrators! Let me just say that Brady and Violet really made me wish that I had a pantry! Phew! Lots of good times there! I loved watching Brady and Violet’s relationship grow and they learned to trust and lean on each other. Violet developed a very sweet relationship with Theo and that is one of my favorite things about a nanny romance.

Huge props to Piper Rayne for writing Theo’s mom in such a healthy, positive way. The relationship that Theo has with his mom and that she has with Brady is rarely written and it was a breath of fresh air.

The audio for this book was fantastic. I absolutely love the duet style narration. Aaron Shedlock is always a win for me! And the way he voiced sweet little Theo was adorable! Cindy Kay was new to me. It took me a bit to get used to her and the way she narrates, but once I did I really enjoyed her too. They fit the roles and really brought them to life.

Oh this book is so ridiculously entertaining but really quite steamy too. I just loved it and had a huge smile on my face whilst I read. Theres just something about single dad stories that warm my heart…. Swoony and just ahhhh….I cant even. Brady Banks is a DILF! Seriously though!
I love how the authors have a knack for writing stories you can just escape into and I feel like each book gets better and better!
I couldn’t love this book more, I give it all the stars and cannot wait for the next in the series.
A Definite must read in my opinion!

Oh Brady, Boy have you grown up. Lana~White Hot Reads

Brandy Banks is now the sexy single dad who's not looking for anyone when Violet rocks his world. Hoping to see her again, she shows up at his house as the new nanny. Surprise is an understatement as Violet and Brady fight the attraction they have for each other. Little Theo sure makes his way into her heart as well. As they both try to figure everything out, the hit an obstacle and they have to figure it out. Of course this book would not be what is in without Lennon and Jasper. Lennon is her usual self and I love it. Can't wait for the book in this series.

Thank you to @valentine_pr_ for the advanced reading copy via Netgalley, receipt of which did not impact my review.

I loved The Modern Love series a few years back - Mad About the Banker features Brady’s parents and I was excited to get to his story.

While I’m a huge fan of Piper Rayne’s books, this one wasn’t my favorite. I needed more chemistry between the leads to truly believe them falling in love. From reading other early reviews, I’m definitely alone - so it might just be me! What I did like: Brady’s cute as a button son and his and Violet’s bond; all the great friends for both main characters; and the support & love that Brady and his parents have for each other.

I felt like the book could have spent more time elaborating on what could be trickier topics - Violet’s Korean American identity and difficult relationship with her parents and Brady’s ex’s work in Ukraine.

I recommend this book to fans of sports and nanny romances. And am looking forward to book three in the series!

A one night stand with no information exchanged and an attraction that neither can forget about…until you found out that you are the nanny for this mans kid.
Violet and Brady are shocked when they cross paths again, but they need to keep things professional. Even if there is a massive amount of tension between them from the very start. Their chemistry is off the charts and it may be a while before I can look at a pantry without thinking of these two! Plus, the way Violet is with Theo….its adorable and Theo with Brady and the rest of the team is absolutely adorable.
I loved how Hannah and Brady work together, the way they co-parent Theo. Her character could have gone so many ways and I love how she ended up.
This story is full of swoon, spice, sneaky pantry fun, an adorable little boy, legos, and plenty of laughs!
If you’re looking for a single dad, boss/nanny, sports romance then check this one out!

4 Stars for this baller and his nanny!

This is a cute romance that had me swooning from the beginning. I loved how Brady had his priorities straight and loved his son to no end. He even got along with his son's mother and they co-parented seamlessly. Then along comes Violet and his whole world changes. He doesn't have the control that he had before and just can't keep his hands off her even though he knows it could backfire on him. Violet knows she has trust issues and doesn't feel valued by anyone ... not even her parents. Then along comes Brady and he tries to break down all her walls. The chemistry between Brady and Violet is undeniable as neither one of them could forget the one-night stand they had six months previous. I love how Violet treats her charges like they are her own, especially Brady's son Theo. Theo is so cute and even though he loved Violet, he still missed his mom and wanted her to come home from overseas. This is a great addition to the series and I can't wait for Chase and Twyla's story next!

I received an early copy courtesy of Valentine PR in exchange for a honest review.

Piper Rayne is an automatic must read for me and this series is just as great as I hoped it to be.

Got a glimpse at Brady Banks in Lee Burrows book and his story was just as fun. This is a one night stand that turned into more. Violet and Brady have a fun night together and do not exchange names or information.

Months down the road Brady's in need of a live in nanny and his ex ends up hiring Violet through an agency. There's ups and downs as they adjust to this new tension and can't fight their feelings.

Theo is a cute little guy and I love how Violet can be a wonderful nanny and yet turn up the steam while alone with Brady.

Piper Rayne’s You Can’t Kiss the Nanny, Brady Banks is a light, fun football romance. This book kept me ooh-ing and aah-ing over secret cinnamon roll Brady convincing Violet to take a chance on him.

4.5/5 stars

Brady and Violet had a one night stand six months ago. Since Violet thought of it as a rebound night out, she didn’t give Brady her contact info, but he had such an amazing night that he’s been searching for her ever since. He’s shocked when she appears as the new nanny his co-parent Hannah has hired to take care their son Theo while she travels for work. How can they handle their sizzling attraction to each other while he’s her boss, and she’s living in his house while caring for his son?

This book is simply an utterly enjoyable story with delightful characters. Brady and Violet are both hugely likable, and their hesitation about jumping into a relationship is justified given their pasts. Sometime I have a tough time with nanny romances since the power imbalance always seems to be a huge issue. But the fact that Brady and Violet knew each other before she started working for him helps eliminate that awkwardness. And their steamy chemistry is obvious any time they are in a room together.

I also loved the appearances by Lennon and Jasper from Mad about the Banker (if you haven’t read it, you should). As Brady’s parents and new owners of the Kingsmen, it’s a treat to see that even life as a grandparent hasn’t dulled Lennon’s outspokenness in the least. And, as always, the other Kingsmen players are a hoot as they offer romantic advice to one another.

You Can’t Kiss the Nanny, Brady Banks is a charming standalone romance. If you are a fan of football heroes who have a marshmallow center where their love interest and kids are concerned, read this book!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

"I want it all with you, and I’m not afraid to tell you that here today. I want to marry you and have babies with you and raise a family. One of the things I love most about you is how you are with Theo, and it would be a blessing and an honor to share children with you. And if you’re not ready today, that’s fine. But know this is where we’re headed whenever you’re ready. One day, I want you in my bed every night, and in my pantry, every morning.”

I really liked this book! It was the perfect force proximity and forbidden romance! Violet has a one night stand with a man and it is the best sex of her life those she leaves in the morning thinking she’ll never see him again. Unfortunately for her six months later, she’s hired to be his son’s nanny and will be living with him for the next few months. I love how The two of them try to fight the sexual tension between them. It’s really hard for Brady to resist Violet when he sees how amazing she is with his son, Theo. I loved how sweet and caring she was with Theo. I loved that Brady son was portrayed in a realistic way. Some romances have the kids painted perfect but Theo acted like a normal kid. He was hurting that his mom was gone for a few months and Violet definitely jumped into the role to be there for him. When Brady and Violet can’t resist each other anymore things get steamy! I loved how many moments they had sneaking in the pantry! Man the things that Brady can do to Violet! At one point he even manages to get her to come in four minutes before he has to leave to practice! I freaking loved the ending! It was so sweet and perfect! I cannot wait to read the next book featuring Chase and his teammate’s sister!
While this book is the second in the series can definitely be read as a standalone!

Piper Rayne continues to write and deliver the most entertaining stories! This whole football series is just *fire*!!!

I can't wait for more of the series!!!

Here’s the thing, you will fall in love with all the characters in this book. Brady Banks may be the star wide receiver for the Kingsmen football team that his parents now own, but he is also a very proud dad to his son Theo. 6 months ago he had a no names fling and is shocked when she walks into his living room as the new nanny. As these two fumble around to find their footing as both still feel the attraction pull them, he knows that there is a reason why Violet wouldn’t give him her phone number. I love that we get so much humor in this book, honestly Brady’s mom Lennon is hilarious. But it is watching Violet start to lean on and trust Brady, as well as Shayna and Bryce.

One of my favorite things in this book, we have two adults that had a child, yet are doing the best they can to maintain the friendship and co-parent. Sometimes life happens and this was just an amazing change to see both parents present and loving. Brady falls first and hard it seems and he just wants to move forward but Violet has reservations. Some I felt were worthy and others I wanted to remind her that she is her own person and holding Brady responsible for something he had no control over was too much, but she has her reasons. Now ready for Chase’s book because I know it is going to be so good!

4.5 Lego Stars

This was a feel good read for me. Yes there were plenty of steamy moments between Brady and Violet...I don't think I'll look at my pantry the same again. But I loved the way Brady and Theo's mom, Hannah, co-parented. Most people expect relationships with exes to be angry and bitter but this one I loved because it's what my hubs and I have done with his ex. Co-parenting doesn't mean a fight every single day it is about compromises and working together for the betterment of the child, and acting like adults you put whatever feelings you have aside and do what needs to be done to raise a well round child that has the love of both parents. So bravo to Piper and Rayne that they decided to portray this type of relationship for Brady and Hannah. Also little Theo is such a cutie, I'd send him a ton of Lego sets just because he's a great kid, not only well mannered he has such a big heart and isn't afraid to show it. Like I said this was a feel good read for me.

Now getting to the relationship portion of the book lol
Brady Banks and Violet Park have a hot and heavy one-night stand where no names were exchanged, fast forward six months and Brady is still thinking about her then she's in his house as his live in Nanny....well hello fate it's nice to meet you. You know it's inevitable for these two to get together again but when they decide to keep things casual it's like tossing a challenge in the ring.

This was a great addition to the series and I cannot wait for Chance and Twyla's book which is up next

I would recommend this book to those that enjoy STEAMY Sports Romances, Single Dad Romances, Forced Proximity Romances, Interracial Romances, or Contemporary New Adult Romances.

Brady Banks just experienced the best sex with a nimble woman whom he thinks is a gymnast. He is hoping for a repeat performance for last night, but she has other plans. The mysterious woman wants to leave, thanking him for a fun night. The words he would say or write to the name-less or lady of the evening repeated back to him, not liking that feeling. But she thanks him and leaves and for 6 months he is trying to find her again, hoping for another night but nah dah. So back to his normal life, a single Ada’s co-parenting his 5 year old son Theo. His ex Natalie got good news about her job, giving an opportunity to go overseas to Asia and help those in traumatic events. Not wanting to be selfish he gently advise her to take the position and that he’ll help step up rot watch over their son Theo. But since he is in the NFL and training camp is about the start then the preseason start. They agreed to get a live in nanny. Guess who he meets of the first day, the mysterious gymnast Violet Park. There they agree that night just happened that one time and she will be professional and do her job. And he will not cross that line. But, there is still the attraction between each other. Slight flirting would occur, but not in front of Theo. When they think Theo is busy they sneak into the pantry for kisses or other things. But Theo has caught them a few times. I adored e relationship of Brady and Theo, how attentive his is towards his son. When he is how his attention is towards his son. And that the sexy smart nanny isn’t far from his mind either. Can Brady keep his hands off the nanny until NTalie comes back and maybe they can start a relationship normally?

Apparently you can kiss the nanny, and Brady Banks likes to do it, a lot! Six months ago, Brady had a one night stand with a beautiful woman who refused to give her name or number and disappeared. Now, with his son's mom traveling for work for several months, he needs a nanny to look after Theo, his son. Enter Violet, the nanny the agency sent for Theo, who also turns out to be Brady's one night stand.

I loved Brady, he was a smoking hot football player for the Kingsman, a father who dotes on his son and an all around good guy. Violet was brought up by her immigrant Korean parents, who always seemed to be disappointed in her, which left her always wanting to please them, make them proud of her and show affection. Violet constantly felt like she was never enough, and this feeling migrated to all parts of her life.

The story was fun, heartfelt, Theo was adorable and was well written. The story flowed easily and kept you wanting to find out more. There was really great character development and you could see the growth over the course of the book, and this together with other characters in the series, is something I really like. I loved the comic relief from Brady's mom, Lennon, I could just imagine growing up with her as my mom! Thoroughly recommend this book and can't wait for Chase and Twyla next!

You Can’t Kiss the Nanny, Brady Banks is the second book in the Kingsmen Football Stars Series by Piper Rayne, featuring a single dad/close proximity/second chance romance for Brady and Violet. Violet opted for a rebound one-night stand to get over a broken heart, and instead found herself in the most passionate night of her life. Not ready to risk hurt again, she left. Brady had always kept women at arm’s length, clear that there would be no relationship, but one night with Violet had shifted his outlook. If only he could find her… Then, 6 months later, his son’s mom hired a nanny to care for Theo while she was abroad for work. The agency sent Violet. They both have baggage from their pasts. Can they come to terms with their issues before it’s too late? Can they find love with each other?

I’ve been eager to read Brady’s story, since I read the first book of this series, and it definitely didn’t disappoint!! The world building is still top notch, with engaging and relatable characters. The chemistry between Brady and Violet was explosive and hot!!🔥 I love the dialogue and witty banter between the friends—so many laughing moments! For me, though, the heart of the story became Brady’s heartwarming relationship with Theo, and how his son is always his priority. Violet is amazing with him as well, and just fits. Everything about the book felt authentic, especially the emotional aspects. At times, I wanted to tell both of them to speak up, but I understood their hangups. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention how hilarious Brady’s mom, Lennon is!😂 I hope she keeps showing up in the series! It looks like Chase is next, and I can’t wait for it!!

I received an advanced review copy for free, and am leaving this review voluntarily.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Book two of the Kingsmen series can be read as a standalone and ends with a HEA. It is written in first person from an alternating dual POV.
Brady Banks, star wide receiver of the San Francisco Kingsmen football team, had a one night stand six months ago and he can’t get the woman out of his mind. She refused to give him her name or number. Imagine their surprise when she is hired as his live-in nanny while his son’s mother is on a travel assignment.
Brady is a wonderful father to Theo, five, and their relationship is a heart melting thing to read. I love that he has a good co-parenting relationship with Theo’s mom, Hannah. I really appreciated that this was not one of those evil ex books. Brady has been a player, but he can’t forget the woman who blew his mind.
Violet is a complex character with Korean immigrant parents. Her familial relationships are a little dysfunctional and she has some confidence issues and baggage because of it. She had her only one-night-stand to get back on the horse (so to speak) after a broken engagement. She hasn’t had much luck in the relationship department and is distrustful of men and her own judgement. I loved the relationship she built with Theo. The love and understanding she shows that little boy is perfection.
She and Brady share a sizzling chemistry that cannot be denied. Neither one really expects emotions to get the better of them, but they are wrong. When they had their emotional moments, I could feel them in my soul. Their physical moments are hot and steamy, and his pantry ends up getting a lot of action. I couldn’t put it down. I devoured this book. I loved their HEA more than I can say. I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

I’m loving this series! It easily might be on of my favorite sports series this year, and I hope that stays true considering it’s only February haha. Brady and Violet have a ton of chemistry from the moment we meet them during their one night stand and it just grows during Violet’s time as Brady’s nanny.

I love the theme of found family is this book from Hannah and Brady never really dating, Brady’s step mother, the love Theo and Violet have for each other, it is just a constant reminder that chosen family is equal to if not stronger than those we share our DNA with.

Brady stole the show for me in this book, I loved how open he was with his feelings about all the situations with Theo and Violet, and that he was constantly willing to make changes or adjust to make things work. When Violet and Brady get to their conflict, I did wish we could have seen Violet grovel, because I love when the girl grovels but Brady’s groveling made up for it 10x over. It was so sweet and so Brady-like that it made the ending of the book perfect!

Finally, after setting up Chase’s story, I cannot wait to read his book when it comes out!
