This is my first time reading anything by Brittany White. I thought it was a good book, but I found some of Kellan and Clara’s interactions to be a bit stilted at times. I thought that it was a good introduction to the Irish Dragon Shifter Brothers Series. Kellan and his “brothers fled their homeland of Ireland 13 years ago, at only 17 years old. They’ve been hiding out/laying low in Cedar Lake, Texas ever since. Centuries ago in Ireland, Kellan’s ancestors made a pact with the witches that lived outside a nearby town. The witches and the dragons had a pact that they would protect each other from threats no matter what, even if the threats came from the humans that lived near by. When Kellan was 17 years old, the witches became enraged as they felt that the humans were encroaching on their land, so they began k*lling humans one by one. The dragons thought that humans were weak and beneath them but Kellan’s parents, the leaders of their clan were against what the witches were doing, so they rallied the dragons to try and stop them. A battle broke out, that the witches ended up winning and Kellan’s parents were m*rdered along with most of their clan and the others fled after the witches vowed to k*ll them as well. Kellan along with his brothers Liam, Quinn and Brennan all settled in Cedar Lake. I enjoyed meeting Liam whose a lawyer, Quinn whose a doctor and Brennan whose the sheriff, they’re all so supportive and protective of each other, especially with their love of Kellan’s five year old son Declan. They’d drop everything to protect each other, they’re family.
Clara, a kindergarten teacher escapes her ab*sive relationship and ends up in Cedar Lake where she finds Declan playing at the playground by himself. Not, long afterwards Declan’s father Kellan finds them, and he’s shocked that Declan is talking to a stranger, as he usually not good with them. Clara’s originally wary of Kellan but then they get talking and she realises that he’s an amazing father and a really nice guy that just wants to help. Kellan finds out that she used to be Kindergarten teacher and when Declan tells her that he used go to Kindergarten until he was kicked out because of his rough behaviour. Kellan asks Clara if she’d want to be Declan’s Nanny, instead of doing office work for him, she readily agrees because she loves kids and moves in to their house, in her own wing since they’ve got plenty of room and it saves her trying to find somewhere to live, as she pretty much only has the clothes on her back and not much else after her quick escape. Both of them felt an attraction for each other from their first meeting but, because Clara just got out of an ab*sive relationship, she’s pretty wary to jump into a new one, let alone with her boss. Kellan’s also keeping a massive secret from her, that not only are him, Declan and his brothers are all dragon shifters, and that Clara is his mate. How will Clara react when she finds out the truth? I’m looking forward to reading Quinn’s story next. I’d recommend this book, series and author to everyone.
The author has once again given us characters we can care about. The story flows smoothly and the characters pull you into their lives and never let go.
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This is the first time reading this author, and I have to say I was impressed. The characters were compelling and the story itself was fun and interesting. The way the love story progressed wasn’t that fast and it was interesting. I liked the way these dragons were. Now there was so times in the book that I was laughing so hard that I had tears in my eyes. and the Five year old reminded me of my Nephews at that age and how intelligent they are. Overall I got my HEA and I loved it.
*First time reading Brittany White
**KU Read
I have to admit it was nice reading a PNR story with a dragon that was not a novella. It is rare to find an author that will give you a full-length story and with a real story and not just full of sex. I am happy to find such an author.
Brittany White is a must-read for me now.
Escaping an abusive ex to nanny for a billionaire dragon shifter. Clara not looking for a relationship, understandably so, but desperately needs a job and a place to live. In comes full of energy 5 year old Declan. Kellan and his 3 friends had to flea Ireland due to a witch is now in Texas. Needless to say when you have a witch, dragon shifter and humans things are gonna get interesting and life threatening. Will Kellan, Declan and Clara make it through this alive ? Will Kellan and Clara’s relationship make it or will she be done with him when she finds out he’s not human ?
Quick read, unfulfilled potential
I haven’t read the author before, but I was looking for a quick, fun read and thought this might fit the bill.
I enjoyed the setup of the characters (I liked the brothers by choice instead of blood, and the diversity of their occupations) and the mix of shifters, witches and vampires in the world building was a new spin for me in a shifter story, and caught my attention. I also found the concept of trying to raise a dragon shifter child with a heritage of Irish cliffs and cold seas in flat, scorching Texas extremely intriguing.
However, the story lacked a certain depth; I wanted more from it, though I’m not sure quite how to explain it. It just felt shallow to me—I think maybe a told versus shown kind of thing; for instance, we’re told there are vampires around, and Kellan is paying for their protection, but we never meet any or see that in action. I never felt truly invested in the story or the characters, and I ended up just skimming through most of the book (especially the intimate scenes between the two leads), because while I was interested in the story, I just didn’t care that much. The writing itself wasn’t bad, though I did notice a few typo/wrong or missing word kind or errors, but it lacked what I call polish. For instance, we’re told Kellan was seventeen when his parents died twice within two paragraphs, and the sentence structure seemed slightly choppy at times. Basically I though it could use a good editor.
So at the end of the day, while I thought there was a lot of potential, and I found it mildly entertaining, I didn’t like it enough to continue on with the series. 2.5 stars
This story draws you in from the first page. Juliana works for her parents who has sheltered and had control over her life. All of that changes when they tell her she is to marry a man who is ruthless and fifteen years her senior. She heads to Texas where she meets Quinn, his dragon takes one sniff of her and realizes that she is his mate. Quinn would do any thing for is neighbor even going into a fake marriage b out will it be enough to head off her parents and the man that wants to marry her? I voluntarily agreed to receive an ARC of this book for an honest review.

Kellan Quinn, Liam and Brennan fled the old country and have been in Texas since
Kellan Cormac is the DragonShifter from Ireland , living in Texas since he was 17 years. Now him and Declan his five-year-old son live in a mansion And why not he’s a billionaire. Declan is having a lot of problems he tries to be human But his strengths gets away from him and he hurts kids in daycare. Then out of the blue Clara shows up, she was a kindergarten teacher but she had a friend because her ex was very abusive she couldn’t stop running crochet she was offered a nanny position, which is good she ran out of money.
This review is my own opinion, this author is one that I love to read her books.
Dragons’ home and family in Ireland destroyed by the witches.
Kellan’s parents were the leaders of the clan of dragons at the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland. They were murdered by the witches who didn’t like humans encroaching on their lands. The only ones left of that clan were Kellan, Quinn, Liam and Brennan. They fled their home land at seventeen years old and came to Texas. They are like brothers.
Once established they made something of themselves. Kellan founded and is the CEO of his company, Quinn is a doctor, Liam is a lawyer and Brennan is the local sheriff. They are a great bunch of guys in their community.
Kellan hooks up with a human and she ends up pregnant and Declan is born. She wants nothing to do with a baby so Kellan and his brothers raise Declan. He is a young dragon with a lot of energy and bigger than the regular kids. He tends to get into trouble at the daycare when he uses his strength to do things. Declan must live his life with his dragon a secret. His personality is so endearing.
Clara is in a very abusive relationship and she is always in danger since she can never go to the police to report him since her boyfriend and his family hold positions higher up. She finally plans her escape without telling anyone where she is going and leaves all her belongings behind. Taking only a few bits of clothing that will fit in her big purse. She leaves a note misleading her boyfriend about where she is going, buys a bus ticket and ends up in Texas.
Meanwhile boisterous Declan manages to wander off and goes to the park where he is testing his capabilities. Clara runs into him there while he is balancing on the top of a swing set on one leg. She manages to talk him down by having him show her something else that he can do.
The park is where Kellan spots Declan and a lady talking to him in a gentle manner. He is impressed that his son is listening to her. So begins where Clara meets Kellan and after some talking and watching how well she treats his son, he offers her a job to be a nanny for Declan.
She accepts since she doesn’t have much money and knows nothing about the town she ended up at. She is a Kindergarten teacher that she left and loved it. So she shows a lot of patience with Declan and they get along so well. Kellan can’t help but enjoy watching the two of them doing things.
This story is so well written I loved the characters so much. There is excitement, humor, an endearing child that everyone in his family protects, then comes traveling and a old danger encountered. A young child that knows he has to protect his nanny. Their relationship you have to love. Here Clara learns how special Declan, Kellan and the brothers are. She escaped one threat and finds herself in a more threatening one.
Loved this book by Brittany White. Would love to read more of her books like this one. Definitely recommend this book. I know that I will read this one again.

This is the first book I’ve read by this author and it will not be the last. Her characters are well developed and the storyline is intriguing. I really felt bad for Clara, she was living a nightmare with her ex but she escaped with only a few changes of clothes and the money she had saved. When the bus comes to a stop in a small Texan town Clara get off to try her luck there. She ventures into a park and sees a young boy walking on top of the swing set and that’s when the story takes off from there. Declan is a adventurist and has loads of energy for a boy of only five years old. Kellan, Declan’s father, sees Clara and how she interacts with Declan and has a proposition for her. Now Clara is living with the two and being the nanny to the rambunctious Declan. She is not ready for a relationship considering how the last one ended with her ex but she is just drawn to Kellan and it’s getting harder and harder to not act on it. Kellan is keeping a big secret from Clara, will it come back to bite him in the butt when she discovers it?
Love! Love! Love! What’s not to love about an Irish Dragon shifter? And when the tale is written by Brittany White…you just can’t loose!
Kellan has been doing his best raising his young son, but it’s getting more and more difficult by the day. The young boy is having troubles expending his excess energy, and being a dragon shifter, his strength is unlike any of his human counterparts. When even the daycare can’t handle him, Kellan knows he’s got a problem on his hands. And just when he thinks it’s going to be another rough day, in walks a ray of light, to save the day.
Clara has finally escaped her abusive ex, leaving with absolutely nothing but a change of clothes and a few dollars in her purse. She’s travelled across a few states, but finds herself at the end of her money. Seeing a young boy in the park perched precariously on the top of the swing set, she felt the pull to try and “save him”. Her protective stance, as well as her sweet smell and beautiful face has Kellan and his dragon spinning. Will Fate move in and churn the pot? Or will these two move in opposite directions.
Definitely worth the read!
I was gifted a copy of this book and am voluntarily giving my honest opinion.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
The great storyline and interesting characters kept me turning the pages until the very last page! I was so engrossed in this story that I read this book in one sitting!
Loved The Billionaire Dragon’s Nanny! You are an excellent author. Loved the fact that Clara told him everything about her ex when she started working for Kaplan. Although he never told her anything about himself or his family until it was almost too late. Clara accepted everything when she found out that’s what love is all about.
