The Baby-whisperer and the Brute: A Small Town Single Dad Romance (Eastport Bay Billionaire Fairytale Rom Coms Book 4) Kindle Edition

by Tru Taylor (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 1,147 ratings
You can’t appreciate all the implications of the word “conflicted” until you come face to face with the guy you’ve been secretly lusting after for weeks... and then learn he’ll be signing your paychecks—Angelina Rappaport

Some people might call me sheltered. That doesn’t begin to cover it. I’ve been practically sequestered my whole life. Constantly warned by my eccentric and reclusive mother against the “dangers of the world,” I was only allowed outside my home to attend a strict girls’ school. No parties. No sleepovers. NO boys.

Ever.

Even now in my early twenties, the extent of my social life is spending time with the adorable three and four-year-olds at the preschool where I work. I’ve hardly ever spoken to a man, except for exchanging morning greetings with the fathers of my students.

And soon, I’ll obey my mother’s wishes and enter religious service, training to be a nun.

But gazing out my bedroom window in the turret of my family’s crumbling seaside mansion, I secretly dream of a different life, one that involves freedom, adventure, love, and children of my own.
I at least want a kiss before I give up and follow my mother’s plan for my life.

Sullivan Reece
As a heavyweight boxing champion in prime condition, I can easily go twelve rounds with the toughest fighters on the planet—but when it comes to my two little girls… I’m a lightweight.

Now that my ex has declared herself “done” with mothering, and my spirited and mischievous daughters are living with me full-time, I’m realizing just how much I don’t know about raising kids. My own upbringing in a tough neighborhood left a lot to be desired—I basically raised myself, and honestly, didn’t do all that great a job of it.

And then there’s my demanding training schedule and the travel required for my career. What I really need is a live-in nanny. Yesterday.

But as newcomer to Eastport Bay, I have no idea where or how to find the right caretaker for the two most important people in my life. So when my neighbors say they know the perfect person, I jump at the chance to hire her. She has experience with children, she needs a place to live, and she’s exactly the kind of classy role model I want for my daughters.

There’s just one problem… the new nanny is everything I’m not—sweet, innocent, good. It goes without saying she’s completely off-limits.

Oh, and she’s a total knockout.

The Baby-whisperer and the Brute is a full-length small town rom com fairytale retelling of Rapunzel. It’s a standalone single dad/forbidden love/forced proximity/slow burn romance with no cheating or cliffhangers but plenty of humor and heat and a gentle bruiser with a heart of gold.

Like all the books in the Eastport Bay Billionaires series, this book can be read as a standalone, but the books are connected in fun ways that make them a treat to read together. Check out the other books in the series!

Award-winning romance author Tru Taylor writes small town romance that's hot and sunny (and a little bit funny.)

She runs on Coke Zero and dark chocolate, lives for lunches with her girlfriends, and drives to the town beach several times a week to watch the sun set over the water.

She loves LOVE and will attempt to turn any show or movie she’s watching into a romance whether it is one or not. Star Wars? A romance. Lord of the Rings? Clearly a romance. The Expendables? Okay, well not even Tru can redeem that one.

When she’s not writing, Tru enjoys watching movies and reading books with happy endings, spending time with her husband and two kids, and sneaking Hershey’s Kisses from the top shelf of the freezer throughout the day. (Top shelf because… two kids. Enough said.)

Tru is the author of the Eastport Bay small town romance series and loves living in a quaint New England town where she’s surrounded every day by the beautiful coastal setting you see brought to life in her books.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Steamy and fun!

    Angelina who is supposed to become a nun, takes on the job of live in nanny for a mma boxer, Sullivan.
    This story was so fun. I loved the sheltered Angelina who just wanted to experience life and how Sullivan was with her. He was her Protector but so much more. So so much more!!
    So well written, the characters challenged the norm and grabbed me as the reader to think outside the box. But this story really impressed me and I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Angelica and Sully. What a great book!
    This was an ARC and this is my honest review.

    4.0 out of 5 stars 3.5 ⭐
    Reviewed in Australia on 3 January 2023
    This was a good book. The reason it's 3.5 ⭐ is because the plot gets dragged out unnecessarily in a few areas and some conflicts. I did a speed read through a few sections, but I saw it through. It was good.

    I am loving this series by Tru Taylor. These stories are sweet full of swoon worthy moments. Angelina and Sully's story had me rooting for them from the very beginning. Angelina has lived a sheltered life with a controlling mother, when really she wants to have her hair hanging down and a chance to escape her lonely tower. Sully is a divorce and a single dad to two little girls that get into everything. When he happens to meet Angelina by chance at his next door neighbors son's birthday party, well lets just say sparks were flying. I couldn't get enough of them. I was laughing out loud, grabbing some tissues and screaming finally! I can't wait for the next one in this series.

    I certainly felt like I was missing huge chunks of information, and character detail/ development.
    Plot was okay, but could maybe use an edit.

    Very insta love, fast paced story.

    Ahhhh! This story was very well done. I’m coming into this series at book 4, but I’m going to have to go back and start with book 1 again (something I rarely do). The characters were perfect, storyline was engaging without being over the top as most rewrites/stories based on fairytales generally are, and the ending still proclaimed happily ever after. I’m a gooey mess after all that on this gorgeous Saturday morning. Thank you for writing, Tru!!
