Review: Bombshell by CD Reiss

The blurb:

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…

My thoughts:

Cara DuMont is a Hollywood nanny, and after her best friend, Blakely, becomes embroiled in scandal with an actor, Cara's determined that will never happen to her. In fact, she doesn't even like actors; she just loves kids.

Enter Nicole Garcia, the super-cute daughter of Hollywood star Brad Sinclair. Her mom's just died, and Brad isn't interested in being her father. Can Cara convince him to step up and avoid being tabloid fodder while she does it?

At times, I found Cara a little frustrating – she clearly liked Brad but kept shying away without having a particularly good reason. But this did also make the book more realistic in some ways. 

Brad was an asshole at first (as he was supposed to be) but I grew to like him. Nicole stole the show, and was the glue that kept the pair of them together. The glimpse into Hollywood culture (not sure how much of that was genuinely true-to-life!) was fascinating and how-the-hell-can-they-be-so-shallow. And the kids' names were awesome – Blueberry and Jedi, anyone?

I also love the cover on this book – it looks so pretty sitting on my kindle!

    Great review! Agree that the cover is catching and the blurb makes it sound good and your review shows that it actually might be somewhat realistic/believable. That’s my problem with Hollywood books is that sometimes they are just too out there to be any good!
