Belle Even though things had never been perfect, Belle Miller loved her life in Pine Hollow. It’s simple and easy. At least it was until Nash Bennett moved back in town and started doing things that made her question every opinion she’d ever had about him.
Nash He didn’t regret the life he’d lived the past twenty years, but he knew he’d have to give it up eventually. When the time comes to move home, Nash Bennett immediately sets his sights on one thing. Belle Miller. She will be his, no matter what it takes.

I don’t even know where to start with this one - if you have met any other of Kate’s Daddies/Littles then you know the spice is sizzling 🌶️ and the dialogue deserves an Emmy.
Nash had every ounce of independent woman leaving my body so I could let him take care of me. Make sure I am eating when I’m getting mimosa drunk with my girlies? Check. Break up a bar fight that gets out of hand? Check. Literally protect me from psycho gross Chad-of-an-ex (sorry Chads! His name is actually Taylor)? But… check! Help. Me. Do. My. Hair?! Ugh melt! 😩🥰
Aside from the typical Kate Oliver magic, Belle - who Nash adorably refers to as Tink/Tinkerbell - is a fat girl with an eating disorder. As a neuro-spicy ADHD girlie with BED the lines in this book were so well written that I felt her struggle in my bones! I hope one day I can find me a Nash because his constant reassurance and support was so absolutely breathtaking! All of her emotions and inner turmoil mirror things I deal with or have dealt with most of my life. This representation was PERFECT.
I don't think Kate Oliver will ever write a bad book. I am always amazed at her ability to bring characters to life. Nash is one of those books that draws you in from the first page and has your tummy flipping by the second page. This had a wonderful mixture of past Littles as well and I really enjoyed getting to read the gruff, growly man being such a sweet "Uncle Nash". Nash is a retired military man who has been working for a private company for several years. He finally has enough action and moves back to his small home town, and runs into Belle. Sparks fly and everyone gets a HEA.
It was enjoyable, just wish Nash had a better book as I loved him.
Hmm. It was okay, but I do feel disappointed. I’ve been waiting for Nash’s book as a lot of readers probably have, and it was a huge letdown. Plots that didn’t make sense for example; Nash and Belle went to school together, he’s two years older than her but always liked her. He pretended that she didn’t exist so she didn’t get bullied by the other girls. Erm…. What now? He basically ignored her all the time so she wasn’t bullied? Years later he’s trying to win her love, and when he sees one of the women from school he moves away from her again. When she asks him about it he says he didn’t want to cause her trouble. IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE! If he liked her so much why didn’t he come and claim her as he wanted to?
Then there’s Bella’s bar that has been in the family for years, yet it was in her dads name. He signed it over to her mum when he left them. Where is Belle’s mother? Did she die? It never says what happened to her.
Are Nash and Greer’s parents still alive? The sex scenes are a massive letdown. All his sexy talk and it’s booorrrring!!! How old are they? Do they want kids? Is she on contraceptives? What eating disorder does she have? It hints at bulimia but sitting and eating a chocolate bar isn’t out of control. Nash worked for Damien as a bodyguard, and gives it up as he’s been shot a few too many times. WHEN?? It’s never mentioned in any of the other books. Why is Nash’s book not with Damian’s? I’d actually forgot who he was at first as he was in this series and not with Damien’s.
Nash has liked Belle’s for years as they went to school together. When he comes back to his hometown he decides that he wants her and she will be his. Belle has a lot of hang ups over her body as she thinks she’s fat and ugly. It mentioned about her being fat way too many times for me. It never says what size she is, but all the other littles say how gorgeous she is. Belle for some bizarre reason hates Nash at the beginning as she thinks he’s arrogant, cocky and loves himself. He doesn’t and she hurts him thinking that.
Not really much of a plot with this one. I did enjoy it but it had too many things wrong with it, sadly.
This is the 3rd book in Kate Oliver's Daddies of Pine Hollow Series. It is a ddlg romance. We have seen Nash before in the other books in the series. Feeling homesick and choosing to return to Pine Hollow gives Nash a chance to get the girl he has loved for awhile, Belle. Although Belle is not on board with this train of thought. Because the Nash she remembers is not the man who returned. It takes her awhile to see that. The story is very well written and the way that Belle's issues were handled was absolutely perfect and so touching. Kate is a phenomenal writer who really knows how to draw you into the story. I really enjoyed seeing Nash and Belle get to truly know each other and fall in love.

This was such a sweet read! I adored Nash and how caring he was with Belle. It was so fun to watch her fall for him even as she tried to hate him for being the towns golden boy and ignoring her in high school. If you’re looking for a DD/lg that’s sweet and fun, definitely check out this one!
This book was so worth the wait I was lucky enough to get an ARC and couldn't put it down. It is a short quick read but packed with so much Enemies to Lovers vibes. Nash is so smooth and yet so devoted to Belle. Belle is feisty and Nash has his hands full with her. She is curvy and holds her own. What more could you ask for Kate out did her self and can't wait for more of her work.
I wish this story was longer. The characters were amazing and the plot was great. However, to me it felt rushed and like it was supposed to be longer. The story we did get was enjoyable but I, personally, needed more
Excellent short read. I always love a possessive daddy. He is sweet and spicy and very over the top. Belle is feisty and holds her own. I love them together. Belle is the owner of the bar and Nash just moved back home. He has secretly loved her for years. Belle is stubborn but Nash is persistent. Kate always does a fantastic job writing the perfect daddy.
There’s no man Kate can’t write that isn’t absolutely perfect. Fell in love with Nash in West Coast Daddies and he delivered showing back up in Pine Hollow. He’s such a sweet and spicy man and the way he talks to & treats Belle? Swoon. The feisty Little gave him a run for his money and it was cute to watch her walls break down.
“She’s the one I want. The Little girl I’ve been searching for all my life. I never realized my Little girl was right under my nose in Pine Hollow.”
Excited to share my thoughts on this book! Nash, fresh from the military, juggles duties at the sheriff's department while moonlighting as a bouncer at the local bar for Tinker'Belle'.
The narrative is filled with angst and misunderstandings, setting the stage for an intense enemies-to-lovers dynamic. Nash embodies everything one could desire in a "daddy", and the bond between him and Belle is heartwarming. Despite Belle's insecurities about her size and worth, Nash proves her wrong, highlighting her true value and uniqueness. A captivating read!
“I might have killed dozens of men over the years, but this is who I really am. A Daddy. Her Daddy to be exact. Mark my fucking words. Belle is mine.”

Sometimes I feel like a broken record when I review a book by Kate Oliver. It’s always a compelling storyline, charming characters that you root for, and an emotional journey that pulls at your heartstrings. But that is because Ms. Oliver is an amazing writer and she delivers every single time! I love that the heroes and heroines in the Pine Hollow series are a little bit older and the small town feeling of everyone knowing everyone is so heartwarming. My heart broke for Belle learning about her struggles and insecurities but Nash was everything you want and need in a Daddy - loving, caring, protective, patient and strict when necessary. Every little deserves their happy ending and Belle definitely got hers. I am absolutely loving this series and I can’t wait to see the others in Pine Hallow find their love.
Kate Oliver never fails to deliver a wonderfully written story. We know Nash from another series of Ms. Oliver's but he's tired of his life and wants to go back home to Pine Hollow. He's loved Belle for years and now that he's back home for good, nothing is going to stop him from claiming her. Belle on the other hand, doesn't like him at all. She remembers him as a stuck up jerk. In the bar she owns is where they find each other again and over time, Belle sees a different side of him from what she remembered. I absolutely loved their connection with each other and how Nash slowly won her over. Will they still be together when the dust settles? Seeing all the characters from previous stories was great and I can't wait for more in this series!
Kate Oliver has me completely hooked! Every book is a joy, every character is memorable, and their stories are based on mutual trust, love, and respect! Nash and Belle make the best couple: he needs to be her Daddy and she needs be his Little! They’ve waited a long time, been through many trials, but the time is perfect for their love and relationship to flourish. He’s supportive, protective, and he’s so passionate which Belle loves and craves. She’s never had anyone show her the kind of love that accepts her unconditionally, besides her besties. It was heartwarming seeing Ruby and Carly with their Daddies visiting from Seattle! I love the connections between the series!!!
Things I Loved: 🖤 Daddy Dom/Little Girl 💚 Small Town 🖤 Possessive MMC 💚 Curvy FMC 🖤 Body Positivity
It is no secret I’m obsessed with Kate Oliver and all of her books so I knew I was going to love Nash. But what I didn’t expect was to love this book as much as I did!! Everything about it was absolute perfection. Nash and Belle’s story was so beautiful. I loved all the body positivity this book had, it was just so beautifully written.
Kate Oliver just knows how to write the perfect Daddy and Nash was perfection! 🥵
This is just one of them feel good books I could read over and over again. Highly recommend!
Nash is book 3 of the Daddies of Pine Hollow series by Kate Oliver, and is a wonderfully written Daddy Dom, Little Girl story about Belle and Nash. Kate Oliver is one of my top favorite authors, and books like Nash is the reason why. Like in her other work, the characters she creates are so life like and you get drawn in from page #1. This is one of the best enemies to lovers I have read in quite a while. Belle had thought, since high school, that Nash was an arrogant golden boy. Nash knew from the first time he set eyes on her, that Belle would be his forever girl. Now all he has to do is convince Belle to take a chance on him.
I’m a huge lover of this series and couldn’t wait for a story about Nash. What a story it is! He’s decided to stop being a bodyguard and move back home to find his Little Girl. It’s just that Belle, a curvaceous beauty, has no idea! When Nash comes back to town, he is bound and determined to show her that she is worthy of love, and especially worthy of his. Nash is the perfect Daddy and knows just the right words to say and actions to show Belle to give him a chance. I enjoyed the witty banter between them and their chemistry is smoking hot! A definite must read in this incredible series!

Nash is the third book of the Daddies of Pine Hollow series of interconnected standalones. This novella was a fun and quick read and was exactly what I needed to get out of a reading slump. Nash has just moved back home to Pine Hollow and is determined to get the girl of his dreams, Belle. Belle is strong and sassy especially when it comes to Nash. And of course Nash is protecting and possessive of his Tinkerbell. I loved these two so much and couldn’t get enough of them.
This was a story that approached an eating disorder very nicely. Belle has a problem coping with depression and anxiety and uses food to deal with it. Nash has had feelings for Belle since they ruined high school. But he didn’t want to cause any trouble for her if the other girls realised how he felt. So Nash joined the military straight after high school and now, 20 years later, he is back now he is back for Belle. it takes a lot to convince her that his feelings are real and that he is not going anywhere but eventually he wins her over in the head towards a happily ever after
I am voluntarily leaving my review for this book and this is my honest and fair opinion.
Another great read from Kate Oliver. If you have read the other Pine Hollow books you have probably noticed Nash. After having been shot one too many times Nash decides to move home to Pine Hollow. His high school crush (who he ignored) Belle, now owns her mother's bar. While Nash has fond school memories, Belle just remembers the bullying and being ignored by Nash, the big boy on campus. Nash wants Belle, his plus size dream Little but Belle keeps him at arms length. Will the bar and close proximity bring these two together, or will Belle's bitter memories keep them apart? This over the top Daddy might be just what the strong Belle needs most. I adore seeing how Kate Oliver always melds previous characters so seamlessly into her new stories. Another triumph for the marvellous Kate Oliver.
Always love to see a plus size fmc. She was very relatable, and speaking about her insecurities made me feel seen. Nash is a perfekt daddy and does not like her speaking badly about herself. He helps her feel better about herself and shows her, that maybe not everyone is there for only a limited time. All in all 4/5 stars
It wasn’t realy the spiciest book Kate has written, but in my opinion the spice was just right and well written. Can’t wait for the next books!! Luv u Kate
OMG, I don’t leave a lot of reviews but I absolutely loved this book. I read the first 2 books in this series earlier this month and loved them so I was eagerly awaiting this release. The only problem I had was this book wasn’t long enough! I could have read 1,000 pages of Nash and Belle being sickeningly sweet and in love! I’m now fully obsessed with this series. I have to go read everything Kate Oliver has ever written while I wait for the next book! 💖💖💖
So excited to have read Nash. He is an absolute sweetheart. Belle is adorable and together they are the sweetest couple. I wanted more, I needed longer, but I completely understand that good things come to an end. I hope we get to read Austin and Greer’s story because it’s been hinted at for a while.
I was eagerly anticipating Nash and it did not disappoint. Kate Oliver knocked another one right out of the park.
I loved everything. Belle was super relatable and I loved that the author showed it takes more than one time for someone to work those bad words out of your head to allow the good ones in. I also loved that Nash was sooooo patient. He wasn't going to give up easily and let Belle hide from what he knew they could have. I loved seeing some of the characters from a previous series. Ruby is a complete hoot. Great HEA.
