The day my wife died—leaving me a single father—I thought the sun would never rise again.Until Brennan showed up to be my little girl’s nanny.First things first: I don’t need a stranger to help me raise my baby girl, let alone a fresh-faced young woman who still looks like a teenager.Second, this town already hates me, so the last thing I need is to get tongues wagging.But hell if she isn’t a … wagging.
But hell if she isn’t a walking, talking temptation.
The way her jean shorts cling to her curves, accentuating her long, tan legs.
The timid smile that peeks out from her plump lips just begging for mine.
I knew I shouldn’t.
But I did anyway.
The moment our lips touched, the way her body molded perfectly to mine, something inside I thought had died years ago came to life.
I should have stopped there, but I didn’t.
I claimed her. Made her MINE.
Knowing full well I’m not her happily ever after.
Life has a funny way of not letting me forget I don’t deserve a second chance . . .
Her dad shows up with a shotgun, her ex shows up to win her back, and the whole nosy town knows I stole her innocence.
She deserves more than this dead-end town.
And my baggage.
She deserves for me to let her go . . .
Dive into this deliciously forbidden romance filled with emotion and heat. Get ready for page-turning passion, a roller coaster of emotion, and of course a happily ever after!

Off Limits Daddy is the 2nd book in “The Slade Brothers ” series and it was so freaking yummy!
We got to meet Colton in the first book and his cutest little daughter Milly. This story was so heartwarming, but at the same time heartbreaking. We feel the pain that Colton still has for the loss of his wife….OMG that was a intense part of the story. Brennan comes into their lives as a live in nanny to take care of Milly and the house while he goes and runs his business. She is much younger than him, but there’s this invisible force that keeps pushing them together, even though they fight it as hard as possible but they have an undeniable steamy chemistry!
There is so much to this story we meet her traditional parents, continue to see what’s new with Drake and Celeste (loved this part), we meet the whole Slade family, there’s a bad ex, betrayal, forgiveness, love flourishes, and an adorable toddler that will steell your heart she’s smart as a whip. This book to me was even better then the 1st book. This Book will be released on May 19, 2020. I can’t wait for book 3 who is Clay Slade story coming on June 1st 2020.
I couldn’t put it down!!
Great read
A lovely story to completely lose yourself in, couldn’t wait to turn each page.
This was a retelling of “the same old story”. Also, the editing was poor….extra words, spelling and grammar errors. Disrupts the flow of the book.
Another awesome book in the Slade brother’s series. Off limits daddy was a great read and just like the books before it , hot, hot, hot. Colton is a single dad raising his two year old daughter Milly after losing his wife to cancer. He’s lonely, bitter and angry. Needing a nanny for Milly he hires Brennan and soon he finds himself falling for the beautiful woman . I loved these two characters and the way they dealt with love and loss and small town minds . Brennan loves her family and doesn’t want to disappoint them in anyway but she needs them to accept her choices and how she lives her life she’s not the little girl they think her to be. Her ex boyfriend causes some trouble and I would have liked a bit more light shined on how he left and how Brennan dad dealt with him. But all in all it was another great read from Alexis Winter.
Oh Colton, no point in fighting what the heart wants.
Colton is a single father trying to raise his adorable two year old daughter on his own after losing his wife to cancer. He decided to never open his heart again but everything changes when he meets the beautiful, young Brennan.
I absolutely loved Brennan and Colton. I loved reading their journey together. Their journey was a little painful, filled with ups and down, but in the end they were able to overcome the obstacles to be together. It was great to meet the rest of the Slade brothers. This book was a great read and I can’t wait to read the rest of the Slades brothers books.
** spoiler alert ** Again, single dad (or really single parent) romance…I fell in love with the kid. Milly is the glue that held everyone together. Colton is her dad, and widower after his wife passed. We meet Colton in the Slade Brother’s book 1, Billionaire’s unexpected Bride. I can honestly say, that while I loved Celeste and Drake, I really wanted to know more about Colton. Colton is in serious need of a new outlook on life. A nanny for his little girl, his world is needed, but he doesn’t want just anyone. Brennan is a college educated woman just looking to get out on her own. She is recommended to Colton and so he takes the interview. Being much older than her, he is immediately biased against her. Eventually, they work out a nanny routine and Brennan shows she can hold her own. Some ex comes onto the scene and makes things difficult for Brennan. Brennan’s family is against the Slade family (like much of the town). How can they work out? It all does in the end, but it is a ride. This is actually a book I would read again. 🙂
I give this 4.5 stars**
Colton Slade is a brooding, angry widower with a precocious 2 year old daughter. His wife died right after childbirth, and Colton has been carrying that anger ever since. Brennen is a 24 year old college graduate who returns home in hopes of getting a job at the local school teaching music, but the position has already been filled. She resorts to applying for a position as a nanny, and comes recommended by Celeste, girlfriend to Colton’s younger brother Drake. Colton isn’t crazy about the girl with legs that go on for days and a firmly rounded bottom, but he has no other choice. He also asks that Brennan do the laundry, keep the house clean, and prepare dinner before her day is final. She also must be in the home by 7 am.
Colton decides to come home at lunch every day to make sure little Milly is being well taken care of, but when he finds Brennan in his bedroom, studying a photo of him and his late wife, he blows a gasket! He explains that she is never to come into his room again. Brennan is sure she is going to hate this job, even though Milly is becoming attached to her.
As the two spend more hours together, they find themselves enjoying the company of the other, bit Brennan’s former college boyfriend Nate shows up, begging for Brennan to take him back, promising that he has changed. Brennan’s father takes to Nate, both being men who have worked the land for generations, and offers to allow him to stay in the finished loft in the barn, as well as offering him a job. This is perfect for Nate but as Brennan grows close to Colton, Nate really comes in strong in his efforts to win her back, and Brennan’s father absolutely hates the Slade family! Will Brennan continue going against her father’s demand that she quit working for Colton, or will she decide that Wade is the man for her, since that’s what daddy wants.

This is the second book in this series and it is so good. I loved the dynamics between Colton and Brennan. She may be very young, but she has a good head on her shoulders. Since there are no jobs for her in what she went to school for, she takes a job as a nanny. Colton has only loved one person for the longest time and he lost her shortly after his daughter was born. Now he only lives for that little girl. Colton tried to fight what he is feeling for Brennan, but that becomes very hard. Will people’s disapproval and meddling come between these two, or will they be able to make it through to the other side with each other. This is a great book on getting a second chance at love. I just love these Sladd brothers and can’t wait to read more of their stories.
Wow did I enjoy reading this! I love Alexis Winter! She speaks to my soul LOL. These kinds of books are some of my fav and I think she is one of the best. I get so excited everytime she comes out w/ a new one.
I had mixed feelings about this book, don’t get me wrong it was cute, fun, and enjoyable. What bothered me were the inconsistencies, I had to go back and read certain parts to see if what I had originally read was the same as what I was reading at that point. That being said, I liked the premise of this story, the banter between the characters, and the sweet resolution.
Captivating and very well written. Great storyline and plot. Likeable characters who are well defined and described. Nice chemistry and attraction.
Older man/Younger woman story that is so well written that you forget the age difference. This couple just fits each other so well but do they go for it?
Absolutely a story that has a lot in it. Recommendable.
This is no dirty old man story. This is an age gap romance with plenty of heat & love. Brennan is a down on her luck 24 year old trying to make ends meet after having her dreams crushed post college graduation. With the encouragement of her best friend, she decides to interview as a nanny for one brooding, alpha mechanic named Colton. He’s sexy as sin, but he’s only got love for his little girl, Milly, after losing his wife two years ago. Colton hires Brennan on a one month trial basis assuming she’ll quit – thanks to his gruffness or the constant demands of a toddler. Colton soon discovers Brennan is surprisingly at ease with Milly & the everyday demands of running a household, even taking the time to cook for him while he’s so wrapped up in work. Suddenly Milly isn’t the only one desperate to see Bree, but Colton finds himself trying to resist her in honor of his late wife. All that goes out the window though when Brennan’s ex-boyfriend, Nate, shows up in town wanting a second chance. Her parents are so smitten by his charms, they even let him stay in the barn & work on the family farm. Brennan however remembers just how pushy & controlling Nate was and after a brief date, it’s clear he hasn’t changed. After Colton rescues Brennan from a dangerous disaster of a date with Nate, sparks fly & they can no longer resist one another. Nate is furious Brennan chose Colton over him & seeks to destroy the couple’s newfound happiness. Can Brennan’s family accept that she’s in love with an older man? Or will small town ways & small town minds keep them apart for good?
Catch up on the drama that unfolds as Colton comes to terms that he need help with two years old Milly. After graduating college Breenan returns home. Her major goal is to be a music teacher but alas there are no jobs. When she applies for a nanny’s position, Colon is unwilling to hire her but on a trial basis. Their chemistry is undeniable, the passion explosive. When her past comes back, life gets a whole lot more complicated. Having to deal with people not understanding the love that is blossoming between these two throws up more roadblocks. Can the past be finally put to rest or will old ghost still play a part in their future? If you like drama, a cute little 2 years old, crazy meddling people and chemistry that’s smoking, look no farther.

Discovering His Soulmate
Colton Slade is one of the Slade brothers whose family has lived in the same small rural Colorado community for 3 generations. Now, with Milly, Colton’s 2-yr-old daughter, the family can claim 4 generations. But, for 35-year-old Colton, he does not see the hope of any future contributions from him to the family’s legacy—Ashley, his childhood sweetheart and mother of his only child, died not long after giving birth to Milly. And her death broke Colton. Ashley was his heart and soul, and while he loves and does his very best with Milly with the help of his brothers, he cannot imagine ever finding another person who could heal his broken heart.
Brennan Crawford is also a generational native of the same spot of Colorado dirt. But she did leave for a while to attend college, earning her degree in music. And now the petite, green-eyed, strawberry blonde 24-yr-old is home, ready to contribute to her community as a music teacher, but there is no job. So, living at home, she is seeking a job—any job, really—that will allow her to get her own apartment. And so, she agrees to become the nanny for Colton Slade. And, the job is much more than she expected. Milly is delightful; the tasks of babysitting, cooking, cleaning the house and doing the laundry are manageable. The challenge is dealing with the surly, snappish, handsome widower and father. But Brennan is a determined to be there for Milly and her grumpy father. What Brennan is not expecting is the unannounced visit from her ex-boyfriend, Nate—the boyfriend whom she walked away from because of his mean, verbally abusive nature, who always pushed her for sex, especially when he overindulged in alcohol. And to further complicate the dynamics, Nate has sold her father on his devotion to Bre, selling the idea that the Montana born rancher’s son is seeking a ranch wife, and winning her dad’s approval by suggesting that he might even be willing to live and work Bre’s family’s land.
Off Limits Daddy continues the story of the Slade Brothers series. This novel continues to weave a strong storyline with interesting characters and electrifying emotional connections. This second novel continues to follow the romantic developments of a family with secrets and unresolved heartache that needs to be addressed to bring happiness and healing to the other members of the family. Each novel can be read independently, but the Slades are so engaging that you will want to know each member and his story.
