His nickname is “The Soulless Prince.” She’s the new nanny. She doesn’t want anything to do with him.
He’s got other plans.

Nathaniel
The Soulless Prince was a nickname given to me on my twenty-fifth birthday when I divorced my ex-wife and took the children from her.
I don’t care about being liked. I’m a man born and bred to be king.
I command, and the people follow. I pull all the strings.
The new nanny doesn’t seem to have gotten that memo.
She’s impulsive and carefree. She’s wild and everything about her begs me to tame her.
I swore I’d never let my heart be affected again.
But I never planned on her.


Leonora
The day I met two little blonde angels, I also met the devil.
He just happened to be their father.
Prince Nathaniel is the most power-hungry, arrogant, insufferable man I’ve ever met
He’s also the hottest, most fascinating, and charming man, when he wants to be.
He wants me to dance to his commands
But I never have been good at following orders.
A fact that’s about to get me in a lot of trouble.

Nathaniel is the second hero in the Spoiled Royal series. These heroes are badly-behaved billionaire aristocrats who are used to getting their way. They’ll go all out for their feisty, independent heroines and stop at nothing, to get their ring on their fingers.
A steamy story about obsessed OTT billionaires, always SAFE, with a sweet HEA guarantee.

Gia Bailey loves to write steamy, sweet, short romances to keep her warm during the cold Scottish nights. All her heroes, from mountain men to billionaires, are possessive, obsessive alpha males, who go OTT for the women they fall for. And the heroines? Shy, sweet, smart, ambitious, and everything in between, these ladies always get their happy endings.

When not writing, she lives with her own burly Russian mountain man and all-knowing four year old, and enjoys baking, reading, jumping in muddle puddles (it’s Scotland, so there are lots), and inventing elaborate dreamworlds to play in. After all, life’s too short for anything other than a HEA.

The Orphan and Her Prince

3.5 stars - I like how Nora puts the needs of the kids first, even when it means standing up to her boss, who happens to be the ruler of her country. With a stick in the mud like Nate, she has plenty of opportunity to flex her backbone. 😊

“Kids love muddy puddles, just ask Peppa Pig.”
-- Leonora Spence

This comment had me laughing as it is incredibly true! Peppa Pig and all. 😄😄

Getting into the relationship between the Prince and his nanny, it's cute with a few things they need to work past, overcome. One bump is related to Daniel and it's saddening and an unfortunate reality that does occur. While I may not like this snag, I like where things end.

I enjoyed this as part of Spoiled Royal: The Complete Collection Kindle Edition.

Gia Bailey has written a 5-star book. This is the story of Leonora (Nora) and Nathaniel (Nate) Nora has just been hired to be the nanny to Henry and Isabella, Nate's children. He is the ruling prince of Sursoix. Nora had grown up in an orphanage ran by Magda. Now she helps Magda with everything she can. Nate is not there on the day that Nora was hired and when he meets her for the first time, it doesn't go well. He gives her a hard time and she gives it right back to him. Nate doesn't trust women since his ex-wife left him and their children. There is an attraction between the two of them but nothing happens. Nora doesn't think that someone like Nate could like someone like her. Over time they get to know each other and one thing leads to another and they end up sleeping together. Nate's stepbrother Daniel is jealous because of who Nate is. Daniel feels like he should be the one who is ruling the country instead of Nate. Nate's father married Daniel's mother after his wife died. Daniel has done some things that will look bad for Nate and Nora finds out about them and she thinks she is at fault. She goes home to the orphanage and Magda and tells her that she messed up and she doesn't think it can be fixed. Theodore, Nate's assistant tells him about what Daniel has done and now Nate wants to see Daniel. When Nate sees Daniel, he wants to know "Why?" Daniel plays like he doesn't know what is going on but Nate tells him that he knows about the money. Daniel tells him it is because Nate exists. He is living the life Daniel wanted to live. Daniel said that the story was already out and he wanted to see what people would think of Nora. He said that people didn't like the abuse of power and sleeping with the nanny was an abuse of that power. He wondered how Nora would handle the attention. Nate tells him not to talk about Nora, if he did he would be sorry. Daniel said that he was so protective of her but he would lose her. Nate said that he wouldn't.
Will Nora and Nate work things out and get together as a couple?
This was a wonderful book and I would recommend it to anyone.

"I want you here, in this castle with my children by day, and in my bed at night,” he said flatly. I was shocked into silence. He had literally robbed me of words. “I just want you, all of you, all of the time.”

I liked this one slightly more than Xavier. It's about a lonely prince, Nathaniel, and his live-in nanny, Leonora. It's really cute and sweet but again, the banter is the star in this novella!

“Sit down.”
“Thanks, I rather thought it was, and it can’t hurt to be careful. I wouldn’t want to be accused of trying to sleep with you again,” she said primly, as she perched her curvy and frankly, distracting ass on the velvet seat.


And once again... did I say banter?

“If I may be blunt-,”
“Are you capable of anything less?” I snorted.


important bits:
no virgins
celibate hero
no cheating
no OM/OW drama
safe
HEA & epilogue ♡

Nora goes to work for Nathaniel as nanny to his children. She find him cold and strict and he finds her lenient and too carefree. However, their chemistry sizzles and they start changing though little do they know it As they grow happier, jealousy happens which threatens their future, and Nora and Nathaniel will need to overcome and trust each other. I thought this book was entertaining and fun to read.

'Nathaniel' by Gia Bailey is the second book in her Spoiled Royal series and tells the story of Nathaniel, a single dad and next in line to the throne, and Leonora (Nora), the new nanny who grew up as an orphan. Nathaniel who had full custody of his children after divorcing his wife was having a problem keeping a nanny and had no time to hire one. His stepbrother said he would take care of hiring one. He hires Nora. Nora is surprised that she gets hired but is quite happy to take the job as her paycheck will help support the orphanage. Nora realizes that the children, Isabella and Henry, need some fun and laughter in their life. As does their father.

Ms. Bailey has written a great addition to her series. Nathaniel and Nora could not be more different but they both feel attracted to each other. I loved how Priscilla and Henry helped make Nathaniel more human and less princely. This story has drama, suspense, deciet, secrets, laughs, passion, and plenty of steam. I enjoyed this book and highly recommend it to anyone who likes a bit of drama with their romance. I can not wait for the next book.

This is part of a series but the characters aren’t really related so you don’t need to read others to understand and enjoy.

Nathaniel is the heir that has been running his country for years and put duty above his personal interests. It’s why he was ended up in a marriage with someone who could leave their children. As he’s getting his life back in order, he’s determined to find someone that can take care of of his children and prepare them for their futures.

Nora is on the job interview as a fovor and never believes she’ll be hired. Once she is, she starts ensure the children are cared for in every way imaginable. Along the way, she realizes that there is more to dear old day than she knew.

Interesting to see their relationships develop and figure out how they were going to resolve their obstacles together.

Melting the heart of a prince. Easy!
Nathaniel, an emotionally traumatised prince, next in line for the throne with 2 adorable children is perpetually looking for a nanny who will overlook his brisk, arrogant, patronising mannerism. Along comes Leonora, an orphaned children’s nanny with sass that the prince had never experienced before. You can guess what happens. An unlikely story but the author was very skilful with her writing, with her storytelling. The characters were described very well, and the emotional content was expertly conveyed without being OTT. There is a HEA, I am only sorry that there is no mention of babies that their union might have produced. Would be happy to recommend this enjoyable enemies-to-lovers novel.

I loved this book by Gia Bailey and would give it more than 5-stars if I could. The book is well written with two characters that have been raised totally opposite, it will have you guessing throughout the story. The heroine, Leonora (Nora), raised in an orphanage and the hero, Nathaniel (Nate), first in line to be King. Nora was hired to be the nanny to Henry and Isabella, Nate's children. The book held my interest from the start as it had it all royalty, a stern and demanding prince, a sneaky step-brother prince, adorable children, feisty nanny, some steam, and a HEA ending. If you love a good feeling royalty romance story this is a book you must read. I cannot wait to read more by this author.

A Sweet Royal Nanny Romance.
A quick romance between Nate, the crown head of his tiny kingdom and Nora, his children’s Nanny. The children, Henry and Isabella are suffering from revolving-door nanny syndrome but Nora uses her skills to draw some lightness out of the children. Even Nate does not escape the electric currents running between him and Nora.
While this may seem pretty cut and dry, the author throws in a spoiled, mean antagonist in the means of it being Nate’s step-brother who steals from children charities (Boo).
How this all gets resolved is done quickly and seamlessly. I’m recommending this book for your reading enjoyment. PEACE.

*spoilers* Leonora grew up at an orphanage. Fundings are dwindling and she gets a job as a nanny for the royal family. Here the so warm and kind hearted, but strong and independent woman meets the heir to the throne and burdened Nathaniel. She defies him and tells him her meaning, the cold and alloofed man starts to feel and want a life for himself, other than 'only' serving the crown. A little family drama and two people who love each other against all odds. I could not put it down, be careful addictiv! The charcters are so well written and really got to my heart.

Fairy tale romance between a future King and his children's nanny. If you are looking for a short break from reality, this story is mild on angst and heavy on sweet. Leonora grew up in the local orphanage and has a big heart for children. She is hired to be a nanny and believes those in her care should be loved openly and allowed to be children. Nathaniel was raised to respect the crown, be proper at all times and be mindful of gossip. When his stepbrother tries to cause contention between them, Nathaniel must make a choice between following his heart or his title. A light read for a brief escapism.

This was a sweet love story but it felt like it was between a novella and full story. Right when you were developing a story line, it was pretty much over. I also think that it is great with the female character having a strong, dominant personality to be able to challenge an alpha male vs being demure and submissive. It is always interesting to see how things work out between them. I did enjoy reading it and I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who enjoys a love story. Hopefully you will enjoy this book as I have.

The author has given us a wonderful story that pulls us into the lives of Prince Nathaniel and Leonora and does not let go. She is hired to be nanny to the children of this grumpy prince. They seem to have a verbal battle every time they are together but it finally dawns on him that she is only thinking about the children. Some people are not happy with the connection between Nate and Nora. Will their connection be the downfall of the kingdom?

I received an ARC from the author and am voluntarily leaving my review. Sparks fly between Prince Nathaniel and Leonora. These two have many differences but still find common ground that starts with the children. This is one of those stories that you wonder if they will walk a fine line between love and hate. The sexual tension alone can cause that. Short, funny and steamy

Lenora becomes the nanny for Prince Nate's young children. She was raised in an orphanage and is the tenth nanny to take care of the children. She stands up to Nate in her interview process. There are many things that go on including his brother's betrayal. It is a cute love story with a HEA.

Took a bit to read this one, especially for the amount of pages to read. But, it still felt a little rushed. Still loved the story of Nathaniel and Leonora. I loved that her relationship with the kids meshed so well. And that Nathaniel saw her in a new light. His light. I wanted more of their pasts and of what they were thinking.

Good romance in which I really like the way the female heroin doesn't like the prince she's about to work for, because of his social choices.
It's intense and there are twists and turns.
It's a good short romance.

This was a cute single dad/ nanny romance. I liked that Leonora had a bit of sass and didn’t just bow to Nathaniel. The storyline was cute and it had a good flow.

NATHANIEL and LEONORA

This is a sweet love story between a ‘soon to be King’ and his nanny, and two adorable children. This story is very mild on the angst, like actually there is none, and just concentrates on two people who are attracted to each other, but do not necessary like each other a lot.

I really enjoy a strong, feisty and sassy heroine, who is not afraid of chastising, or berating the future King into telling him the error of his ways with his children, in the process making him a better King and a better father.

The story is quick and intense, with plenty of sexual tensions and a super jealous and possessive prince, who is used to getting his way.

“I want to know because just the thought of another man makes me furious with jealousy. I want to know who I’m up against, because, I mean to win you, Leonora Spence, at any cost.”
