Bombshell by CD Reiss Publication Date: May 1st, 2017 Publisher: Montlake Genre: Contemporary Romance
Synopsis:
Hollywood bad boy Brad Sinclair always gets his way, whether it’s the role he wants or the bikini-clad model he has to have. But when a bombshell gets dropped in his lap in the form of a dimpled five-year-old from a forgotten relationship, he knows his life is about to change forever.
Cara DuMont isn’t exactly thrilled when she gets assigned to be the nanny for the latest box-office king. She has one rule: no celebrity fathers, especially single ones with devilish good looks and rock-hard abs.
But as soon as Cara meets Brad and his adorable little girl, she knows she’s in for a world of trouble. Because there’s something about the way Brad looks at her that makes her believe that some rules are meant to be broken…
Excerpt:
The front door opened. I expected a housekeeper or butler, but it was the actor himself. I hadn’t forgotten how beautiful he was; I’d just chosen not to think about it. “Ma’am,” he said. Southern boy. Parents together. Christian elementary. Public secondary. Two years at USC Drama. Dates his costars for a month after the wrap party, then moves on. Poring through the trades and making calls, I’d discovered he’d spend at least eight of the next twelve months overseas doing action movies, but most had postproduction in town. “Mr. Sinclair,” I said, holding my hand out. “Nice to see you outside a bathroom.” He shook my hand. I’d shaken plenty of famous hands attached to gorgeous men, but my imagination was sparked by the way his fingers slid against mine to grasp them and the way our palms pressed together. My mind clouded over with ripped sheets, hard muscles, and soft skin. “Pleasure’s mine,” he said and my brain skipped like a trip on a cracked sidewalk over the word pleasure. He didn’t give me the oversincere hand-over-clasp to show me how damn happy he was to see me, but there was something intimate about that half a second. Just a consultation. I followed him into the house. Dora Donovan had designed it. Looked like her with her faux-midcentury white couch and shag rug. That wasn’t going to work with playdates unless he wanted to keep an upholsterer on staff. We went through the living room to a smaller room with a pool table smack in the middle. It had a stained glass Budweiser lamp over it and was racked for nine-ball. Dora Donovan had nothing to do with this room, for sure. “Wanna sit?” He held a chair out for me. The glass-topped table was just inside the open patio doors and was set with iced tea. I sat. “I’m not a date,” I said kindly, indicating the iced tea setup. “Just so you know. You don’t have to do things like hold the chair for me.” “Habit, I guess.” He sat opposite me. “Chivalry is nice. But with the nanny, whomever you hire, it can be misconstrued.” He smirked a little, as if misconstruing his own thoughts. I cleared my throat and pulled my jacket closed.Excerpt:

About the Author
CD Reiss is a New York Times bestseller. She still has to chop wood and carry water, which was buried in the fine print. Her lawyer is working it out with God but in the meantime, if you call and she doesn't pick up she's at the well hauling buckets. Born in New York City, she moved to Hollywood, California to get her master's degree in screenwriting from USC. In case you want to know, that went nowhere but it did give her a big enough ego to write novels. She's frequently referred to as the Shakespeare of Smut which is flattering but hasn't ever gotten her out of chopping that cord of wood. If you meet her in person, you should call her Christine.

5 BOMBSHELL SOUTHERN STARS!
I swear CD Reiss would never disappointed you and boy, BOMBSHELL is THE BOMB.
I really can't get enough of Brad and Cara's story even though I read every words in this book. I am still over the moon with them and yeah here is my attempt to review this book.
When talking about this book, I think what attract me the most is definitely the hero, Brad Sinclair. I don't know about you but just the name alone already get me. Because Sinclair is just so sexy as a name I can't resist from not reading this book. Also lets picture a hot playboy, party boy James Dean living on top of the world in Hollywood in the modern time. And when he suddenly becomes a daddy to a super cute Nicole, it just get exponentially way more interesting.
On top of that, there is this super professional cool and pretty nanny (imagine nannies of the freaking rich people) named Cara who is so good with kids that I secretly wish had her abilities to stop kids crying. She is an interesting character as a heroine as I don't think I would ever like a nanny who falls to the daddy of the kids that she is taking care of but somehow, anyhow I ends up loving her because she have this charm that just makes her loveable.
I like the dynamic between Brad, Cara and Nicole in the story as I find it very refreshing to have a famous actor, an estranged little daughter that suddenly popped up of nowhere and a unique nanny that could speak French. They are lots of cute and funny shenanigans and I savor all of them!
It is a bit more family centric but it is a friggin' good one and I highly recommend this. It is absolutely and definitely a five star material and hats off for another brilliant masterpiece.
P.s: I love the hashtags used in the book! #familyfirst #Bradvsmydad #ImWithSinclair
