Maybe skinny dipping in the neighbor’s pool wasn’t the best idea. Especially when the ridiculously hot new homeowner catches me and scolds me like I’ve been a very naughty girl.
Turns out, my new neighbor, Austin, doesn’t live alone. He has two smoking-hot housemates and two adorable kids.
When the kids' coldhearted nanny abruptly quits, Austin offers me a live-in nanny gig. I love my kid-free evenings, but I’m in desperate need of a new place to live, so I reluctantly accept.
Now I’m living in a house full of temptation. All three of these men are sharing my bed and stealing my heart.
Austin exudes confidence and has this way of looking at me with those intense blue eyes that make my heart race. Cohen’s calm demeanor hides something deeper, and I can’t help but wonder what secrets he’s keeping. And Theo? He’s my first love—and the last person I ever thought I’d fall for again—but the heart wants what it wants.
How am I supposed to choose? And what if I don’t have to?
Filthy Rich Single Daddies is a steamy, standalone why choose romance with a heart-racing HEA and chemistry that’ll knock your socks off. No cheating, just explosive attraction.
I love a RH story. FRSD has a sweet storyline with a lot of HOT scenes. Skylar is a force of nature and I really enjoyed her character. Watching her interact with her 3 men was delightful.
Skylar-funny, protective and confident. Austin-jerkwad, way too serious, constantly grinding his teeth and must have a heck of a relationship with his dentist. Theo-homeboy is waaay too intense. We’re talking zero to sixty without so much as a conversation Cohen-aloof, and I’m not quite sure yet because he’s not mentioned much yet.
By chapter nine there’s a time inconsistency. Skylar is oily on summer break but runs off to help the kids with their homework.
Skylar is leaving a lot of breadcrumbs for Cohen to help him remember their tryst in Vegas and boy is he oblivious.
Poor Austin has the world on his shoulders and thinks that he’s the only one who can take care of it.
There are so many blurred lines so far and we haven’t even gotten to the good stuff yet.
Theo’s feelings are kind of heartbreaking and very raw. Poor dude is taking what is offered and it’s not much but I can one hundred percent understand where Skylar is coming from, although she’s gotta get tired of holding up all these walls.
Cohen, still an amnesiac dufus. Glad to see he’s finally starting to get with the program, but dang it, I need a samurai sword to cut through the spicy tension between Skylar and Austin. She might just be the death of him. I’m surprised he doesn’t suffer from ulcers with all his stress and worrying.
Okay. I am not a fan of Austin’s brutality and then running like that? Leaving her to accept such an unwelcome call. I sort of hate him and find him disgusting and unredeemable in my opinion.
Birdie is a very wise woman and could write a small self help book with all of her advice.
I was so worried that Skylar was going to self sabotage herself after the reading of the will, given her new freedom. Phew.
For a story that mentions nannying in the summary there aren’t many interactions between the kids and the main characters. But it’s okay.
My one complaint about the epilogues would be that the second one’s timing was off. Three years later from the first which was one year later and the time it took to get to that point. It hasn’t been three years since Vegas. There’s also a spicy scene in the epilogue where they are positioned in a way where one dude is hovering over another dude’s head … I’m picturing the bottom staring straight into my guy’s chocolate starfish.
One of the worst books I've ever read. I don't have anything against polyamorous if there is love and respect and it's well written. The main character needs therapy not three men. she has so many daddy issues it's ridiculous. between her mom dying and dead remarrying a step monster. And being separated from her first love. by the time we first meet her, she's pretty much ready to sleep with anything and anybody. We start off with her naked skinny dipping in the neighbor's pool and when he, austin, finds her you get the impression she's rid of herself to him right there. when the love of her youth, theo, turns out to be living with Austin, it's like hey let's ignore the fact that we haven't seen or no need each other for 8 years quick let's jump into bed. And the third who is Austin's brother Cohen who also lives with them, turns out he and our girl had a fling in Vegas and she's just ticked off the he doesn't even remember her even though she was in disguise and he was drunk. so much for whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. I find the three men to be horrible. Theo doesn't know how to take no for answer. Cohen is just confused. And Austin is so angry that he lumps her in with all the evil women in his life but that doesn't stop him from wanting her and eventually giving in and having sex. about three quarters on the way through she reflects on all three and realizes she feels used by Austin. gee no surprise there. in the end she tells him she loves them and wants to be in a relationship with all three. I don't know where the love came from because the author never really develops a loving relationship between her and any of them. all this around 2 small children. and real spoiler...the 3way sex doesn't happen til the epilogue.

I really liked Skylar at first. She seemed like a very sweet woman- and she is!- that is fantastic with kids.
But as we went on, I didn’t care much for how she treated Theo. I can understand why she felt the way she did, but she has zero grace for him. It sounds like they were teens when they were forced apart, so I’m not sure what she expected him to do? Or why she herself didn’t do it? She gets intimate with Theo then immediately pushed him a way and makes him leave her home; later when Austin leaves right after being intimate, she feels incredibly hurt.
Then there’s Cohen, whom she had a wild weekend with a year before while in Vegas. She admits she didn’t even look like herself that weekend, what with her being a bridesmaid and having to have dyed her hair, so I don’t understand completely why she didn’t just tell him who she was? She’s all about herself a lot of the time, how SHE feels, what SHE thinks, what SHE wants to do. But doesn’t seem to have much concern or care for the men and why they are the way they are.
None of that is to say that the book isn’t a good one or that the writing isn’t fantastic- it is and it is! Those are just my own personal feelings about Skylar throughout the book since she comes across as very selfish and that is a personal pet peeve of mine. Its my own issue, so I won’t be taking any stars from my review.
Very steamy book with more plot than I thought there would be with 3 very hot, sexy men. The children are adorable and always made me smile.
Skylar erected walls around her heart after she saw who she thought was her 'forever' walk away without a backward glance. Then, her father disowned her.
Jumped ahead a few years and Skylar now lives in Birdie's carriage house, working as a school teacher. On a particularly hot day, she decides to use the pool next door which she thinks is vacant.
Austin, his brother Cohen, and their friend Theo, who are business partners, have decided to move in with Lucas, Austin's son ( also Skylar's pupil), and Elodie, Cohen's daughter. This seems a more sensible solution for childcare. Theo is surprised when he finds out who the neighbour is! It couldn't be...?
Skylar is surprised who is back in her life, and a further surprise is around the corner. She gets asked to help the brothers with childcare when things don't go well with their nanny.
Skylar, dealing with past hurt, limits her relationships. She will not let anyone hurt her again.
Theo has always loved Skylar and knew he'd made a mistake as soon as he left, this time he is determined not to lose her again.
Cohen hurt by his ex-wife, has trust issues. Can he let anyone in again? Can he consider Theo's idea? Will it work long term?
Austin is all about control but Skylar feels like chaos in his structured world. Can she prove to him that sometimes chaos is good, that letting loose soothes the soul?

This was a fun RH read that I really enjoyed. Skylar is a force and I just love her independent nature. Life has not always been easy for her, but she has found her path. Until she is caught swimming naked in the pool next door. The new owner Austin catches Skylar trespassing in his pool. The tension between these two starts right off the bat. And then a blast from her past, Theo the man she loved and he moved her. Their parents forced them apart and now all these years later they are back in each others lives. The passion is still Hot as ever. Finally, Cohen is her weekend fling that she had is Las Vegas and he doesn’t even remember her. Now being a nanny to Austin and Cohen’s children all feelings are bursting at the seams. Great steam, character building and taking a deeper dive into their pasts.

This is the first book I have read from Alix Vaughn. I was determined to finish it in one day, and I stayed up late to ensure that I did. I felt upset, sadness and happiness throughout the book.
When Austin and Skylar meet it is her swimming without clothes in his pool. Theo is her ex that bombarded his way back into her life. Cohen met her a year before during a trip to Vegas after his divorce. Skylar has faced heartbreak throughout her life and has made her a strong willed woman, that never got over her first love and hardened her heart to love.
How long before Theo breaks through Skylar's walls? Will she break through Cohen's? Austin's? How does the kids react to her being their nanny? Does she keep it professional with the brothers? Does she have to choose between the three? Let's finish reading to find out!
Make sure you have yourself a cold drink before you start reading this steamy book, you're going to need it! There was so much to enjoy with this reverse harem - witty banter, adorable kids, strong FMC, 3 completely different but definitely hot MMCs, dealing with family issues, self love and growth. Usually I just expect a lot of hot scenes in a reverse harem, but this story had so much depth before it even got to that point. Alix is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors - I got hooked through her hockey romances, and now I can't wait to see what's next!
My rating system: 5=will read again 4=recommend to everyone 3=recommend to anyone liking that particular writing style/trope 2=do not recommend 1=DNF
Just fantastic. It was a steamy page turner and the suspense was intense. It was addicted and I was on the verge of my seat and I couldn’t even put it down. Skylar has to protected her heart at all time. Until she these three guys. The chemistry between these characters was deeper and passion of romance and a high level of emotions. They couldn’t fight the urge and the temptation any longer. Was she falling in love with all three guys. One magical night with these guys will change her life forever. She has to make a choice who does she wanted to be with in this moment. I definitely recommend this book and you won’t be disappointed.

I loved how 3 of the guys had a shared past with Skylar. Admittedly one forgot about theirs and the other was beyond obsessed. I loved how they each had a different connection to her but they all felt the pull. I'm so glad she didnt lose Birdie! The 2 brothers and Skylar had abandonment issues that they had to work through but I felt Skylar's was a little more than the guys. I kinda wish that maybe she voiced it a bit more to the 3 of them in her sassy ways. Otherwise I loved this book just like the one before. Recommend to all who love a good RH
Skylar has had a rough day so she decides that she will use the neighbors pool, it is not like anyone lives there. Expect people to live there and one of them happens to be a students father. When she intervenes to protect the children she ends up on his radar again. This time he needs her help, the last people she expects to meet at the house are her ex that she never got over and a guy that she spent a crazy weekend with.

Oh boy, where to begin. Skylar meets her new neighbor when she's skinny dipping in the pool. Later to find out that Austin's son is in her class.
A knock on her doors brings her past into the future. Theo knows a second chance like this is a one in a million and will move heaven and earth to keep Sky in his life.
One crazy weekend leave a lasting impression on Cohen that he wants to keep forever.
What is Skylar to do? Is it wrong to want all three men or does she really have to choose?
I liked the setup with the characters’ background, the second chance, and the enemies-to-lovers vibe, but the story just wasn’t well developed—it felt like it was missing something. A few things really bothered me: Theo opened up to a shared relationship way too quickly, especially considering she was supposed to be the love of his life, and Cohen’s feelings were pure insta-love. At least with Austin there was more heat and tension. The gaps at the very beginning made it not worth it for me, and I gave up.
I would be telling you a huge lie if I didn't say that I LOVED reading this romance book by Alix. OMG can she write the most amazing books with storylines and characters that have you swooning over them and heart beating quickly. This is a reverse harem book that everyone needs to have, and I think my heart skipped a few beats starting with looking at the HOTTEST men ever on the cover. (Next to my husband of course)
Caught swimming in the neighbor's pool brought Skylar a blast from her past. When it turns out that Austin not only lives with her ex-boyfriend Theo but also Cohen, whom she shared a night of passion with her life heats up. This story was hot and steamy as well as intriguing. The characters were complex and well developed which was a great addition to this read.

Skylar, Theo, Cohen, and Austin. Skylar and Theo were teenage lovers, and their parents separated them and kept them apart. Until now. Cohen and Skylar had a mad weekend in vegas and never swapped names. Will he remember her? Austin is the most closed off guy and mega grumpy. Skylar takes over as a nanny for Austin's son and Cohen's daughter. Their relationship grows from there.
This is an appealing story with characters that are heartwarming but have their own issues connecting when it comes to matters of the heart. It is a well written story that had me connecting with the characters on an emotional level and cheering them on to finding happiness amongst themselves. I am volunteering to leave a review for an ARC of this book.
Teacher Skylar finds herself with neighbours when Austin moves into his new house with his son Lucas, his brother Cohen and daughter Elodie, and their friend Theo. A steamy and sexy read with histories, new memories, second chances, found family and two adorable little kids. A fab read.

This was okay but not great. For a reverse harm, I felt like there just wasn’t enough spice lol. Aaaand I really only had but in with her and Theo’s relationship. The others just didn’t have anywhere near enough depth to be committing your lives to one another. I don’t think I plan on reading any more of these.

For a reverse harem book, this was more story and less four way steam. Yes, there is still plenty of steam to be read. Skylar has a lot of issues so there is a ton of angst and Austin is not much better. I loved both Theo and Cohen from the beginning. Overall, a very good story and well written.
This engaging RH romance has plenty of steam and good character development. The MCs are likable, loving, attractive, and must resolve their past issues before having a HEA. I liked this entertaining book. I voluntarily read an ARC and this is my honest review.
Very good book. Characters were well flushed out. Plot was very good. Book definitely kept me entertained enough to read it in one sitting. A couple small continuity issues, but small enough to not take me fully away from the story.
It went very fast from getting to know you, to not liking you, you loving you. Just went through the big feelings very fast. Time jumped really fast, too. I feel like there were sections of things that I missed that seemed relevant to the story.
I don't know what to say about this one. The air was charged, a lot, I mean a LOT! It all seemed a bit rushed but also took forever, there was so much waffle. And then all of a sudden everyone loves everyone despite not really interacting with each much at all. Just weird.
Absolutely loved this book. The storyline was well written and will definitely keep you attention. I finished in a day. The characters are funny and likable especially Birdie. I didn't want this to end. Will definitely be reading more by this author.
All I can say is WOW!! This is so much more than a so called harem, it is a love story that works for love to the very end. It has so much emotion involved and love!!
