omg i literally finished this in one freaking sitting. okay we got single dad, boss x employee, family, and a christmas vibes. i really love the plot in this book very very cute i mean Natalie is the most successful woman ever bcs she got to kiss Maddox. i love the relationship of father/daughter. maddox and violet had the sweetest chemistry and what had violet been through is just so sad i understand how hie she felt. the romance. maddox and natalie’s relationship development is just sooooo good. i love them so much. very very fast-paced and heartwarming book ever. can’t wait to meet maddox’s twin brothers!!!!

The Naughty, The Nice, and the Nanny is the first book in The Holiday Brother series. The series centres around three brothers, with the first book focusing on the eldest brother, Maddox Holiday. Designed to put one in the mood for the holidays, The Naughty, The Nice, and The Nanny delivered a quick and sweet read served with a side of steam.

Natalie, a professional Nanny, is between jobs at the moment. She's looking forward to the holidays. However, that desire is shattered when her boss called asking her to take up an urgent last minute job. Unable to say no and needing the extra cash, she agreed. Little did she know that her new client was none other than her high school crush, Maddox Holiday. Maddox is a single father, seeking a nanny to take care of his troublesome daughter, Violet, during the week of Christmas.

One clearly sees the reason Natalie's boss called on her for this emergency job. Not only is she reliable, she is good at her job. She achieved in a few days what none of the other nannies could. Also, the reasons for Violet's behaviour came to light. She required attention, something her father barely had time for and which her mother failed to provide. Her mother was rather selfish.

The romance between the characters developed rather quickly. Despite this, I enjoyed the fleeting moments they spent together. However, I wished more time was given to the development of their relationship. Natalie's relationship with Violet, didn't receive a lot of page time. One learns of their growing bond based on conversations between the characters. It would have been nice to actually see how their relationship developed.

I enjoyed this fun, cute, sexy and short read. Although not fully focused on the theme of Christmas, it was enough to put one in the holiday mood. Overall, The Naughty, The Nice, and The Nanny delivered a feel good holiday romance. 

Aaron Shedlock and Vanessa Edwin did a wonderful job in bringing the characters to life.  I enjoyed listening to Aaron in the past, and this time was no different. Despite his naturally deep voice, his voices for the female characters sounded authentic.

Cute little holiday read

This book was very good. I loved Maddox and Natalie so much, their relationship was so cute. I love that Natalie wanted to be a therapist and she was so cute about her crush on Maddox. Violet was the most perfect little girl, I love that she wasn’t an easy child. Their dynamic was so wholesome and I loved that everything they did, said, wanted, etc., was aimed around Violet. They put her first as the most important person in their lives. Heath was a perfect side character as well. The story wasn’t rushed or felt like it was going too fast either. I love Willa Nash too so it’s no surprise her book was amazing. Definitely recommend

First, I just want to say that I love the titles of the novellas in this series. They are so cute and really roll off the tongue especially for holiday stories. Second, I enjoyed this, but like many of my recent reads, it didn’t really do anything for me. Their relationship is insta-love and the conflict between the nanny and the child is solved in one day. Those were both too easy. I wanted more antics… maybe some pining. Third, this is a Christmas book that couldn’t have felt less Christmasy. Besides taking place the week of Christmas and attending a holiday party and her wearing Santa pajamas, it just didn’t have that warm snuggly Christmas feeling for me. It could have happened whenever. Fourth, I would like to say that after reading so much raunchy sex lately, this short and sweet sex scene was a breath of fresh air. It was classy and he was respectful. Just what I needed! Since it was a quick and easy listen for me, I’ll be reading the rest of the series.

"love is everything" by ariana grande “Be ours. Or friend. Or girlfriend. Whatever you want to call us. Just be ours. Mine. Violet’s." <3 daisy calloway was right! chocolate cake does solve everything

Very short, but super cute. Funny.

Festive and fun! This is my first Willa Nash book, and while it's a short holiday read, it was phenomenal! I loved the relationship between Maddox and Natalie...but even more I loved how they became a family. Definitely suggest this one for a nice holiday, feel-good, story!
