This story starts off absolutely heartbreaking and we move into present day and you can’t help but be consumed with the events that take place. We’re given hot and steamy as well as endless love. This is a beautifully written story that will have you in happy tears after you find out what happens. A quick read that I highly recommend you click.

Mr Pink is a short story that is a part of the Mr billionaire series. This story is short, fast paced and a sweet read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. I really enjoyed this book. I liked Holden and Emrie. Holden is a successful businessman, a single father and a widow. He wasn’t looking for love. His focus was on his little girl that refused to speak and was struggling. When Emrie became Abigail’s nanny, everything changed.
Emrie was the one that Abigail opened up to. With Emrie in her life, she started to smile, laugh and eventually speak. Holden tried to resist Emrie but it wasn’t long until he gave in and made her, his.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and an enjoyable read.

I was given an advance readers copy of this book and have decided to write a voluntary honest review. Ok this, title fits this book to the t and I have to say I loved everthing about Mr pink!

Mr Pink is another quick read in the series. It's fast paced and touching. I can connect with Holden and Abigail with having an autistic son, and I could feel Holden's pain and grief. Marie was the perfect character for them both. If you like a quick read then this will be right up your street.

The couple: Holden and Emrie

Romance genre: Nanny
Series: Mr. Billionaire
Length: 31 pages

Plot: Holden lost his wife in a tragic accident, and now his little girl won't speak as a result of the trauma. He brings Emrie in as his nanny and soon finds that both he and his daughter are becoming attached.

Commentary: This was a sweet story of Emrie who was able to reach Abi when nobody else was. It sounds like there may have been trauma from the plane crash, but I didn't find Abi's symptoms to be PTSD-like at all (which is what was mentioned in one of the earlier chapters of the story). Like many reviewers here, I saw them as characteristics of the autism spectrum. But then she seemed to recover, so maybe it was a mix-up or mistake.
More than anything, I liked the story - it was sweet (although I kinda hated the "I love your pink" statements over and over), but I wanted some better organization and development of the story. This was extremely short, been for a Flirt Club story, and there's so much that could have been added. What was the relationship between Holden and his wife like? What did he do for a career? How did Emrie come to them? Did she have a life outside of nannying? Had Abi gone through any other treatments? Some of the transitions between parts of the story were clunky or missing. Even so, the storytouched me enough that I gave it 4 stars.

i read this book as part of an arc program. This is book in the A Mr. Billionaire Short Story series written by a number of authors known as the Flirt Club.Holden is a single father to a little girl who suffers from PTSD from the accident that killed his wife and her mother. When Holden hired Emrie to be a nanny to his daughter, Emrie began to get the little girl to talk and come back to life and out of her shell. Holden watched Emrie with his daughter and couldn't help falling in love with her also. Emrie has developed feelings for Holden and when he admits his feelings, Emrie thinks her dreams have come true. I really liked this book. I love how Holden seemed to cherish Emrie and really loved her. The interaction with his daughter and Emrie was beautiful and i think Emrie understood her pain and helped her through it. Great one.

Holden's life was going well until a tragedy took his wife from him and their daughter. Now he is raising her on his own with the help of a nanny. Emrie is the nanny and her personality and brightness has brought both Holden and his daughter back to life. Emrie tries to keep things professional even though she has developed feelings for the both of them. So when Holden takes control she knows she wants to do whatever he wants her to do. Holden knows he can't hold back any longer and claims Emrie but is it for good?

This is an amazing story that will captivate you from beginning to end. The chemistry between them is off the charts hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

This story is short but filled with love and romance. His wife died and left him with their daughter. Both have been in their own world of pain for a long time. No one can communicate with his daughter. Not enough for her to open up and speak with them. Now he has once again a new nanny. This time fate wants both of them to have a life and open up. But is that possible for them? The nanny is so sweet, beautiful and full of life.
An amazingly well written romance that caught me from first to last page. It is short but absolutely one you have to read. It felt so realistic and the characters are so well defined. They are all likeable and I ruled for them.
Enjoyable, entertaining and amazing read.

Bringing a world of color
Emrie is a woman full of life, sass and color. Holden is a widower with a young daughter. Holden & his daughter Abigail have gone through a traumatic accident, where he lost his wife and she, her mother. Abi has PTSD because of this. She barely talks & has emotional outbursts. Caregivers are hard to keep because they can't handle her needs. That is until Emrie. Emrie with her colorful looks and colorful spirit is able to bring Abi out of her shell and with her, Holden as well. Holden is the perfect blend of sexy, alpha control and Emrie is the perfect blend of soft and colorful that he needs for himself and Abi. Super sexy, heart (& panty 😉) melting read.

Four years ago Holden lost his wife in a plane crash one he and his daughter survived. Abigail hasn’t talked since the crash and he has hired several nannies since then but they all couldn’t take Abigails silence and wild fits she sometimes has. When he hired Emrie he knew she was different with her blond hair streaked with pink and Abigail loves her by the smiles on her face. Holden never expected to fall in love again but Emrie has brought his family back to life. Will Emrie and Holden become the family they all need.?

The way she shines in insta Love stories is amazing .....

[Christine · Rating 4 out of 5]

The first thing I want to tell you is do not go into this book thinking it’s a full length novel. It’s not. It’s a short, sweet novelette. So enjoy it for what it is. The pace is fast so you’ll probably be done in an hour or less. The first few pages gives us a clue as to what the premise will be. I adored Holden, Emrie and especially sweet, little Abi. I won’t give any details away since this book is so short. But I will tell you if your looking for a quick, sweet and sexy read, you’ll enjoy this.

This is my honest and unbiased review. Thank you for taking the time to read it. :)

[Sassy Angel · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this story! I didn't want it to end.

Holden lost his wife and almost his daughter in an airplane crash. His daughter has withdrawn from the world and Holden is at his wits end. He has hired many nannies that haven't last longer until Emrie. There is something about her that gets his daughter to light up. And he lights up in a different way-more carnal. They have been circling around each other and one day they give into their passions. Will they be able to make something more out of this?

This book was utter perfection it grabbed me from the very beginning to the end I was spellbound. The author did an amazing job.

Holden has had a hard life his wife passed away in a tragic accident and his daughter is torn up and has PTSD. He has a lot of challenges. Until the day he hires his new nanny Emrie.

Emrie new this job would be special but doesn't realise how much little Abigail and Holden will change her life forever.

[Sara Oxton · Rating 5 out of 5]

Mr Pink by Dee Ellis a five-star read that will bring colour into your life. This was such a sweet and compelling read that will blow you away, this was much like the other stories in the collection but this one has a little heart as well as the heat. This story is my favourite by this author and has made me desperate to go back through and get everything ever written. Watching Holden Hill turn into Mr Pink blew me away, I adored this story.

[Cory Diaz · Rating 5 out of 5]

This an amazing short story of love after tragedy. Is a great quick book I recommend.

After an accident Holden is left to take care and love his beautiful daughter.

He goes trough the process of finding a nanny or caregiver for Abigail. Until came the bright young women with hair streaked with hot pink, that lightened their life.

This is a beautiful story of how love can conquer it all.

Dee Ellis is an amazing author and she did a great job in this book.

[Dita · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's short, it's steamy, it's sweet, and I love it.
It's a single dad romance, and I'm a sucker for single dad, so I can't not love this.
There's emotional moments, especially with cutie Abigail even though not as much as I wanted to. Not much drama, but the steaminess and the sweetness make up for it. Too short for my liking but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

If you need a short steamy sweet read, this book is for you.

A great read

Holden is still suffering the loss of his wife in a plane accident where he and his daughter survived. Abu is non verbal and it worries him as his life is all dull and white. Until in walks Entire as the new nanny who brings colour to their lives. As they get closer will they get a HEA? A great story and I loved the characters especially little Abi. She was so cute.

[Jen · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed reading Emrie's story of a happily ever after. Her journey is not an easy one or a light one as their is some baggage but it is worth each and every step and tear to get to the end. It was an awesome read and gain a new appreciation for the colour pink as well to see the colour selection expand to blue. Perfect!

I love steamy, sexy love stories. Ones filled with romance and happily ever afters. This story was weak in all those areas for me. Just couldn’t feel the draw and connection between the two main characters. Holden’s daughter was a nice added element though I felt her part in it all was too contrived even for a work of fiction.

Holden Hill survived a plane crash that took his wife but left him scarred and his daughter Abigail with out a mother.
Now, years later, he’s got the hots for his nanny Emrie. She’s a decade younger and has pink highlights in her hair. She connects with both father and daughter.
When Holden looks at her, all he sees is her pink.

Sweet and steamy and pretty instant.
Recommend.

A really amazing read! It is well-written, consistent, and moves at a brisk pace. From start to finish I was captivated with the overall story line that is well developed, sweet, and emotionally deep. The characters are very interesting and the chemistry between them is intense and off the charts. It is a very exciting read and comes highly recommended.

Sweet and spicy read by Dee Ellis. Holden had it all- a loving wife and a baby girl. His world lost all color the day his wife was killed in a plane crash, leaving him to raise their traumatized daughter alone. He has since hired several nannies but they are able to connect with Abigail because she doesn't speak. His latest nanny, Emrie is like a breath of fresh air with her pink highlights. Emrie and Abigail have a truly amazing bond. Not only does Abigail fall for Emrie but so does Holden. A beautiful story of second chances and new beginnings.

Holden is a single dad after losing his wife in an airplane crash. His daughter Abi, suffers from PTSD and barely talks. Emrie is the newest nanny and seems to be fitting in great with both dad and daughter. Loved the connection between Abi and Emrie and she is perfect for both Abi and Holden. This is a heartwarming story that pulled at my heartstrings with believable characters and enough steam to melt my kindle. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

This is the 2nd book I've read written by Dee Ellis; she has done a great job at writing a good short story; I will definitely be reading more of her books.

The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.

I loved the chemistry between the characters.

Emrie came into Holden and Abigails life like a tidal wave. They both needed saving and she was their life raft. She brought Abigail out of her shell that she hid in for so long and Holden was finally able to see what he needed to do for his daughter.

This was a cute single father novella and the steam was on point. I loved how Emrie was so good with Abigail. That was what really made me fall in love with this book!
