What a great retelling of the classic Rapunzel tale! I really enjoyed this sweet, clean, romantic story. The characters were great and their personal struggles were unique and well-written. Really fun to read. I recommend it!

Love it!
The first thing I loved about this book was all the crossovers and the updates from the other characters! Cinda is back to being her adorable self dishing out all the life advice (she was a bit rough in her own story, but glad to see she managed that storm with success). Kristal and Bonnie both make appearances as well. And we get a peek at our next princess (can't wait for that story)!
Angelina's live was so abusive (that's what I'm calling the way her mother treated her). My heart hurt for her. To live her life solely for her mother is just a sad way to exist. The desires she felt, to have children of her own and to marry, were given to her for a reason. And her mother was awful for trying to suppress those desires in her daughter just to atone for her own foolishness. I was a relief that she started to think for herself and outside her prison.
Sully really was a giant teddy bear, despite being a fierce boxer. He may not have been perfect and definitely went overboard with spending, but none of it was for show. It was just a way to show he cared. His determination definitely helped to land him the girl, especially after the tower debacle. (*spoiler* I was also a little sad to see him retire, but still happy he went out with a win. Even if was a decision. A win is a win.) I loved how he also tried to open Angelina up by pushing her outside her comfort zone. I think he just wanted her to be her true self, and not hide for any reason. The damage her mother did will probably take years to undo. But Sully is patient and they'll work it out.
I loved this story (the whole series actually) and can't wait for more!

Loved the book, the story was well written and the characters were intriguing. Once I started I could not get enough, from the start till the end I was engrossed I was even on the edge of my seat with twists and turns, lust and passion, strength. The short story of eroticism of sensation. Do yourself a favor and buy the book you want be disappointed.

I really enjoy reading this book! The female star has been kept at home her whole life and been preached to all her life about how evil everything and everybody is! The male star is a heavyweight boxer who has won all his fights. He has been married and has two adorable daughters whom he doesn't have any idea how to control. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a good romance!

Excellent
A young woman who has had a very sheltered life is preparing to make a life altering decision when she's offered a different path. This is a sweet clean romance about living your best life.

Fun Light Read
4 1/2 stars. characters in this book have experienced abuse, and it is almost completely ignored. If you are able to put that aside, this is a sweet tale of toe people who do truly have hearts of gold.

Oh baby
Yes I liked it. The mother does need mental help. Even Angelina might need mental help. The kids could use counseling. But a great story nonetheless. It came in handy during Covid 19. We all need a distraction.

Good
A really good retelling of the fairytale. An interesting twist on the story, with the guy beeing a boxer with kids. Enjoyed every minute of it. Can't wait for the next book.

Another good read.
This story in the series is good! Still hoping for longer after they ‘are together’, but that’s where the ending comes.

A fun story.
This was a fun story and a great retelling of an old fairytale. I don't normally appreciate those types of stories, but I actually really enjoyed it. A clean romance.

This is book four of Amy DeLuca’s The Newport Billionaire’s series and is the modern day retelling of Rapunzel. It focuses on the relationship between Angelina Rappaport, a new nanny who has lived a very sheltered life due to her strict mother, and Sullivan (Sully) Reece, a heavy weight boxer in need of a nanny for his daughter’s after his wife walks out on their marriage. Sparks instantly ignite between these individuals as Sully strives to assist Angelina in finding the person she is meant to be. This book is a sweet and charming read with wonderful characters. I recommend this book.

Sweet retelling of Rapunzel, modernized with the nanny and world famous boxer. She's excellent with children but had a sheltered childhood. He's clueless about parenting his girls, they are spoiled and uncontrollable until Angelina. Perfect for all ages this is the kind of fairy tale that makes us dream of our own Prince charming. I received an early copy, voluntary review provided.

Basically, Rapunzel.
The story moved a little too fast, skimming over development of characters. It felt like steps were missed, i.e. the initial awkwardness of (especially someone like) her living with a man, them getting to know each other, etc.
