A steamy, hot and captivating read. Likeable characters. Twists that makes it interesting. Well written. Nice storyline and plot. A shifter story that flows well of the pages. An assistent that can handle everything and an actor that finds out what he needs in his life.
Amazing short read.
This story was great to read. It takes the beauty and innocence of a baby to make your heart soften and change; and the love of a strong woman to make everything fall into place. A lovely read yet again by Ms. Ripley. This story will make you laugh cry and smile all at once. Very enjoyable

Blane is a dragon shifter out in the open for all to see at the cinema. he’s a bit of a playboy holding extravagant parties on his yacht and basically doing as he pleases. Don’t get me wrong. He is a generous man with not a mean bone in his body. he’s also alpha male and gorgeous. At least most women think so apart from his assistant, Courtney, who just ignores as best she can how lovely he is as she is keeping him on track and organised so he is where he should be at the appropriate time and everything runs smoothly in his life. But she’s only there till she makes enough money to leave and go to college – he doesn’t know this. However, one morning there is a knock at the door and a baby in a basket is there with a note telling him that the baby is his. He just can’t remember who could be the mother! What is Blaine to do?? Who could possibly help him?? Maybe Courtney could act as the nanny too?? Well maybe if the money is right – that way she can get to college quicker. Blaine soon realises one important thing – he can’t do without Courtney and he starts really seeing her for the first time. This is a lovely romance that is so well written by Meg Ripley. It isn’t an instant love romance but one where the characters have known each other for a few years and it’s only when they come into contact more closely that emotions start to get involved. A great storyline that made me laugh at times and certainly kept me riveted to my kindle till I’d finished the book.

I liked this one, as she was already right under Blanes nose! I liked this series, as it is different from the other Beverley Hills Dragon series, how you ask, you’ve just gotta read to find out. Hmm I wonder who will need a Nanny next, maybe Blanes sister!! I definitely recommend and yes, it does have an HEA.

Out of all of the other books in the series, I had to read it twice. The atmosphere in this one was a little dramatic compared to the other books for the characters and I think it brought more stamina to the relationship. Enjoyed reading it and look forward to more.

Another great book in the series. We have Blane, Hollywood’s hottest commodity with everyone wanting until a young dragon os left on his dootlrstep with a note saying the child is his. Courtney, Blane’s assistant is restless and wants to go back to college to reach her dreams of becoming a lawyer well until a young child is left on the doorstep and she becomes a nanny to the child. Will she be able to follow her dreams? Or will she stay with Blane and get something she never knew she wanted? A great story with some lovable characters.
I didn’t know what to expect from this story to be honest, but I was really surprised and impressed. I loved everything about the characters and the plot. It had a little bit of everything: a clueless guy, a too-serious girl, drama, suspense, action, love, hot scenes shifters and babies.
Nothing was amissed and because of that I couldn’t put the story down at all. It is a very well written book that deserves to be read by many.

The third book in the Beverly Hills Dragons series is a well-written story that held my interest throughout. Courtney and Blane’s story came alive after baby Amanda is left on Blane’s doorstep. There is suspense, drama, danger, a baby that needs her dad to love her, and romance. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I was glad that Blane stopped acting like an entitled rich guy. I liked that Courtney was working towards her goal. I also loved that Blane and Courtney both wanted to do what was best for Amanda and really wanted to keep her.

A STEAMY, suspenseful paranormal novella destined to be an epic READERS’ FAVORITE!
“BLANE’S NANNY” is an awesome paranormal romance about a Hollywood dragon shifter who is also an A-list movie star! In a parallel world where shifters are an accepted part of life on Earth, Blane is a popular A-list actor and player whose life has been managed for the last two years through the incredible skills of his personal assistant, Courtney. I fell in love with Courtney within the first few pages because of her selfless energy and responsibility. However, life takes a bit of a turn when an infant girl is left on Blane’s doorstep. Rather than deal with it effectively, he leaves for his day at the studio, working on his latest blockbuster film, leaving his efficient assistant to take the lead on “all things baby.” From that point on, hold on to your seats, because that is the only thing that will remain “expected!” “BLANE’S NANNY,” Meg Ripley’s latest release simply astounded me with one unexpected twist and turn after another. Ripley’s prose, as always, was eloquent, descriptive and flowed easily so that I could focus on the amazingly developed characters around whom “BLANE’S NANNY” was centered. I love stories with babies because they bring out the best and worst about both people and characters. Blane Vinson and Courtney Welsh were no exception to this rule, but readers will have to get their own copies of “BLANE’S NANNY” to find out what was best, what was worst, and what was so surprising about this compelling paranormal story. It is worth the cost of admission at any price as “BLANE’S NANNY” is the BEST of the titles included in Ripley’s series about “Beverly Hills Dragons.” I have read all three, and each has been better than the last. I STRONGLY suggest you purchase your copy of TITLE today, you will not be disappointed. The pages are filled with romance, relationships and the power of love! I voluntarily read “BLANE’S NANNY” and this is my honest voluntary review. I do not generally award more than 4 stars for a novella because of their short length; however, “BLANE’S NANNY” is getting that extra ½ STAR because it is SO GOOD! Happy pages!
Under his nose…
Although this is the third book in the series it can be read as a standalone. Ms. Ripley did a wonderful job showing how one moment in time can completely change a person. She also reinforced the fact that sometimes what you really need is under your nose all along.

ONE MIND BLOWING READ!!!
Wow! Talk about hitting where it hurts. Meg nailed this little jewel completely. All the twists and turns, ups and downs, ins and outs, unexpected circumstances and unpredictable surprises around every corner make for one magnificent experience. As the drama, shock, heartache, mystery and suspense increase and tension soars as the plot thickens. A strong and amazing storyline that will captivate and hold your attention until the last word. This is one emotional rollercoaster with so much feelings and pulling those heartstrings. The characters and scenes are written with such realism it really pulls this bad boy together beautifully. The two main characters have such depth and individuality it’s easy to picture each scenario as they play off one another in perfect balance. Meg did a remarkable job bringing this read to life flawlessly. Awesome job Meg, thanks for sharing this little guy with us.
Another winner to her Beverly Hills Dragons series
Courtney, a celebrity personal assistant, has just about had it with Blane, a prominent actor and her boss, when he is late to the set after she warned him to not party as hard. As the story progresses a surprise brings about change, tempers flare and his adoring public creates additional stress. Meg Ripley has added another winner to her Beverly Hills Dragons series with Blane’s Nanny. The amount of work she must put in to create such lovable characters, realistic yet fantasy based worlds and believable scenarios is beyond appreciated by this reader. I look forward to seeing where she takes me next.
