Bombshell perfectly mixed the bad boy celebrity/normal girl trope with the single dad/hot nanny trope. Rising star Brad Sinclair suddenly has a 5 year old dropped in his lap and absolutely no idea what to do. So he’s of course seeking out a nanny. I absolutely loved that this book opens with the little girl, Nicole, having a full-blown meltdown and nobody can console her. Except Cara, of course! But Cara has no desire to work for another celeb family. She agrees to stay on for 30 days in a consulting capacity, but it’s not long before she’s faking head over heels for her employer.
Except that Cara doesn’t want to be the nanny that fell for the single dad. And being around Cara makes Brad want to be a better person, even if he’s hiding a potentially career-ruining secret from the world. There is a sow burn that builds between them, so when they finally got together, it was worth the wait. And taking the couple out of the Hollywood spotlight and vacationing in Arkansas offers a lot of insight as to who the real Brad Sinclair is. (I’ll let it slide that his reasons for traveling home were just wrong, and he should have come clean to Cara waaay earlier!!)
I thought that Bombshell was such a heartfelt, sweet story. And not just the love between Brad and Cara, but the love each of them had for Nicole as well. I am well acquainted with the “zip it, lock it, put it in your pocket” phrase thanks to my preschooler, but used as a be quiet or hush. I absolutely loved how Cara and Nicole “locked up” their love.
Little Nicole steals the show in this book! And the supporting cast is a rich cast of characters, who add layers to the story rather than detract from it. The epilogue to the epilogue was just priceless! I recommended Hard Ball all the time after reading that, and I’ll be recommending Bombshell as well!

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.
