Right from the beginning, I was addicted!! This was such a great story!!
Colton is a widower with a two year old daughter. He needs to hire a nanny to help out. His last interview of the day shows up, her name is Brennan. He finds himself attracted to her immediately, which is a problem because he has sworn off women since his wife died. Without a better option, he hires her. At first, Colton gets snappy with her about every little thing she does, until he starts noticing how much she is improving things, not only for his daughter, Milly), but for him. The more time they spend together, the more the mutual attraction grows.
Brennan has a problem though. An ex-boyfriend from college, Nate, comes to her hometown to win her back. She had broken up with him because she knew he wasn’t the one for her, and the way he treated her was not like a man in love. Unfortunately, Nate can put on an act of being the “good” guy and worms his way into a job and place to stay on her family’s farm. Also, Brennan’s family doesn’t like Colton at all.
With Colton and Brennan give in to their attraction, and if they do, can it bloom into love? Will her family accept him or push her to Nate?
I enjoyed this story and can’t wait to read the stories of the other brothers!!!

Beautiful love story.
Wow! I loved this story & couldn’t put it down. Just as things seemed to be going great between Colton & Brennan her phyco ex Nathan turned up trying to get her back even going as far as getting her dad liking him & moving into their barn. Threatening her when she said no to him then telling her Dad about her & Colton making her chose to leave Colton & Molly or go back to her family as her Dad had told Colton to stay away from her & not wanting to make her choose Colton told her to go but will be waiting whenever she was ready. She went home but moved out almost straight away getting her own place with the money she’d earned being Millys nanny. Not seeing him made them both realise exactly how much they loved each other & Celeste knew how they both felt telling Colton that he needed to sort himself out & tell Brennan as they were both miserable even after only a week. There was an instant connection between them when she went for the interview to be Milly’s nanny but he didn’t want to feel anything as he swore after his wife died that would only ever live her but in the end the live he felt for Brennan was more than he did his wife as if they were soulmates who get their perfect happy ever after. I can’t wait to read about the next Slade brother.

This book was a great continuation of the Slade Brothers storyline. Colton has a lot of emotions to deal with and, thanks to Brennan becoming his daughter’s nanny, he’s able to put the past behind him and move forward. Brennan, too, has some issues to resolve regarding her ex, her age, her feelings for Colton and what she wants from life. The characters were well-written. I cared about them very quickly and was happy with how it all worked out. I received a free copy of this book as an Advanced Reader Copy and am providing my honest review.

Truly All Yours
Even though there’s an age difference between these two characters, they are truly meant to be together. A love like theirs blossoms into a deep true love most people strive to want to have in their own lives. This novel is so touching, Brennan has her innocent way in wiggling her presence into Colton & Milly’s lives & hearts. A very realistic view of her parents’ reaction, an ex who doesn’t know what the word “no” means and Brennan who worries about other people’s feelings – her parents especially. Brennan is like a rose, growing in loving conditions, blooming into the perfect young woman Colton knew she always was & will be forever.
I would give this novel a 5+ stars rating. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this beautiful romance novel.

This was a great story about not being able to control who you fall in love with. Older man and a younger woman along with an angry dad and a mad ex boyfriend. Can they get over all the obstacles or will they say enough is enough? Love these brothers.

I really enjoyed the first book in this series. I started this one with high expectations and I honestly loved Colton. He was so sweet and loving towards Brennan (after he decided he wanted her) but Brennan and her family really drove me nuts. I was so frustrated with the lack of communication Brennan had with her family. If they knew how her ex behaved and how abusive he was –they would NEVER have let him stay but did Brennan say anything? NOPE! Then when Brennans mom and dad came and practically dragged her out of Colton’s house I kept thinking—SHES 24 YEARS OLD!! SHES NOT 12!!! I wish Brennan was better at standing up for herself AND her relationship with Colton. I was extremely disappointed that she just left and pretty much told Colton goodbye becasue her daddy was upset. UGH!
Good news, of course it ends well and its all lovey dovey and I loved that they figured it all out–I just found myself getting really frustrated with some of the details!!
I absolutley LOVED IT!!!!!! Loved the characters, the plot, story line, everything, how it developed and I loved the ending. I had so much fun reading it. The emotional portrayl was amazing, felt every emotion the characters did. I also had fun laughing along to the antics. Ot also reminds me of how important family is and working things theough, but to also never give up on happiness, when in your grasp. I know that everyone who reads this book, will love it as much as I do.

Good and tender romance
4.5
This is the second volume in the Slade brothers’ series, who have a horrible reputation in their town because they are rich and inherited the bad reputation of their ancestors, even if they are more than honorable.
It’s the story of Colton who is a father and a widower for 2 years. He’s trying to have a nanny but he doesn’t succeed until Brennan shows up.
They are immediately drawn to each other, but between the mourning still difficult for Colton, the age difference and Brennan’s innocence, they resist. However, Brennan is courted again by her ex-boyfriend whom she had fled for his behavior. He says he has changed, but his aggressiveness towards Brennan pushes Colton to go beyond his preconceptions to protect her
The story is tender, well written, hot, with good characters who, although the simple story is addicted.

He is struggling to move past the death of his wife who he thought was the love of his life plus trying to raise a sweet 2 yo daughter. Brennan is fresh out of college and has moved home with her parents and trying to get over a bad relationship. He needs a nanny and when he interviews Brennan is attracted to her but doesn’t want to hire her. Persuaded by his brother’s girlfriend he hires her and slowly feelings develop. The chemistry that Colton and Brennan share is so smoking hot and yet so kind and tender. I just can’t help but love them. This book was so so good. This series is just good!

Brennan is back home so she decides that she needs a job. She goes to work for Colton as a nanny. Colton is a widower and a single father to a 2 year old. The attraction is immediate. Their past relationships may help to keep these two apart. This is an emotional read as you read about Colton trying to get past the loss of his wife and manage fatherhood. The story flows smoothly. The characters are relatable and have chemistry. They are also well written and and developed.

Fun, steamy read about 40ish single dada Colton and his new early 20s, new college graduate Brennan. Both of them have difficulties reconciling past relationships so they can move on. Compelling characters, well paced read, and tons of steam and chemistry. Though part of the Slade Brothers Series, this book can be read as a standalone, but all the books are available to read for free with your KU Subscription.

Loved, loved, loved this one (more than the first book). I actually started liking Colton in the first book, and Brennan was so sweet and so perfect for him and his daughter. And we met all the Slade brothers, I can’t wait to read the rest of this series. ARC review.
