This series just does not MISS!! Full disclaimer, I read this one without having read 3-5 and did just fine, though I will say I think there would be a greater appreciation for this moment within our favorite nanny squad having read the others first. That said, this book can absolutely stand on its own and is so fun and cute! Max should be protected at all costs and Reid finally getting his moment and learning to make space for himself beyond caring for his family was so beautiful. There is a lot of great healing and I just love this gang!! Also, the k!nk is really 🥵👏🏻
If you love spicy romances, read this book!!

ONE NIGHT WITH THE NANNY is the sixth book in the NANNIES OF NEW YORK series, which is one of my all-time favorite series, and i've been dying to read it!! reid marshall is a man with many, many rules and one of them is that he doesn't do relationships. but when he meets a charming austrian prince, his resolve starts to weaken. their story starts as a one night stand, but reid finds himself having a hard time resisting max's advances. and once he seems how devoted to his daughters max is, it gets even harder for him to resist falling in love. after five books where reid essentially helped his loved ones find love, it was about time he got to experience that for himself and i enjoyed everything about it so so much. thanks to k. sterling for the advanced copy!

Finally Reid's story, he's spent every other book helping everyone else he really deserved his own happy ending. I really wasn't expecting his and Max's dynamic, especially physically but damn it did make sense from what we know about both of them.
I enjoyed seeing Max learn how to open himself up and fix his relationship with his daughters. He was kind and thoughtful, he wanted to please everyone but was also persistent and determined when he knew what he wanted. He definitely lived a privileged life and was aware of it but he was humble and reflective on what had shaped him. I liked how besotted he was with Reid and how he found a place where he could belong.
Reid took some time to come around to the idea of him having a romantic partner and opening himself up to believing he could have someone for himself who also respected his relationship with Gavin. He was stubborn and reluctant to let himself have any more than he already had and to lose any form of control of his life but he really deserved it. He supported Max even while fighting with himself. I generally really liked their dynamic and I'm glad that Reid came round on his own timetable as it represented their relationship.
It was lovely to continue to see more of the characters from the previous books and to see them continue to be such a strong support network for each other. The writing style was easy to read and immersed me quickly.

Thanks to the author for providing me with an ARC for an honest opinion.
I knew that this book is part of a series and perhaps I should've read the previous entries first, but I saw mentioned that it could work as a standalone, so I gave it a shot since I enjoyed another series by this author. This resulted in me being very lost during the first 20% of the book. Afterwards, when the plot focused on the main pair, it finally drew me in. It was a decent read but a bit too insta-love for my taste. I liked that the younger man was the dominant one sexually, I don't come accross this very often. Max's relationship with his daughters also improved a ton in a too short a time for me. I enjoyed Reid'd banter with his friends and family and their overall dynamic and bond. Sadly, what happened at the end to bring them all together with Max didn't work for me, as I didn't know that character.
Still, it was a sweet and sexy story, albeit one that would be best enjoyed by readers of the whole series.

Reid, the owner of a queer nanny agency has regular anonymous ONS at a hotel and one night meets an older Austrian prince who falls in love with him. Reid, however, is reluctant and tries to stay away but meddling friends and some ploys plus the prince's need for help with reconnecting with his daughters get in his way.
This book is perfect for people who like insta-love, persistence in the face of a reluctant love interest and have read all of the previous books.
I missed a couple so some of the relationships, like the thing with Gavin and the place they lived (i mean, windowless room for the rest of your life?) made no sense to me so Reid appeared strange. And the emotional bit at the end had no impact because i had no idea who that was. So definitely read the other books first! Almost all characters seem to be recurring ones.
This book was not for me, though. The instalove thing made it difficult for me to take Max serious and we had no proper getting to know each other phase. Therefore some of the scenes that were probably supposed to be charming felt off and close to manipulation. And when they wanted a date where he wanted to show another side of himself, not only the prince, eating caviar at an exclusive restaurant followed by a 50.000 dollar hotel room did not scream regular guy to me. The fixing of the relationship with the girls also felt quite sudden.
If you are someone who believes in love at first sight, maybe the story will feel different to you and Max will charm your pants off. Give it a go!
Especially if you know all the other books and are familiar with all the different characters and especially Gavin.

We’re six books into the Nannies of New York series, and it’s time for “the boss” to find his match. Whether he wants to or not.
You know all that meddling that Reid has done over the years to help those he loves?
Well, it’s coming back his way with a vengeance!
If vengeance was wonderfully lovely (exactly what he deserves)
Reid’s one night only ever rule is smashed to bits when the previous night’s conquest shows up at his door looking for help. Before long he’s helping basically-a-Prince Max bond with his younger daughter Mia. In more ways than he realizes, as those two make it a personal project to keep relationship averse Reid.
“You’re usually the one operating the switchboard. Not as much fun when the network’s buzzing about you, is it?” - Gavin in one of the best lines about the whole situation
I loved this entire book. The humor is spot on, the spice fire, and it’s heartwarming through to the end. Jonathan even managed to be more interesting than irritating! I think this one also nails home how important and strong the love between Reid and Gavin is too. It’s always been there in the background, but it shines here.
I can’t decide if my favorite parts were the email and text exchanges or Reid’s continued insistence that he and Max weren’t together as he continued to do … togethery (hush, that’s totally a word) things with him. From family dinners to *cough* private fun times.
I think most of all I liked how it wrapped up with such a satisfying conclusion
(because Reid and Gavin must not be separated. They are a set.)
Thanks to the author for the ARC, always a joy!
