Nina Dallas has written a 5-star book. This is the story of Daniella and Ricky. Ricky has his daughter and he has just been alerted to having a half-sibling. He had sent a message to his brother Mario to come over. When Mario gets there he thinks it has something to do with Carla, his daughter Clara's mother. Ricky tells him about the brothers out in California. Ricky wants to know what they want to do about finding out about the four half-brothers. Mario said to write to them and see where it goes. The brothers talk and email for a few months and finally, Ricky and Mario get babysitters for their girls and they fly out to California to meet Rigo, Manny, Joey, and Carlos. It is a little weird for Ricky and Mario since the four half-brothers have half-sisters that want to meet Ricky and Mario. Ricky wants to know how the half brothers family feels about him and Mario. Ricky and Mario decide to see how it goes before making their minds up about trying to build a relationship with the half-brothers. Ricky and Mario go back to California with their daughters and Ricky and Carlos have an opportunity to join forces and expand both their businesses. Ricky has a fabrication shop and Carlos has an automotive repair shop. The location they are looking at would not make sense it would be too big for one of their shop alone but with both of them, they could make it work with enough parking for both shops. Ricky and Mario decide to make the move to California. When they get there Ricky and Clara stay with Rigo and Mario stays with Carlos with his twin girls. Daniella is talking to another nurse when Trish her friend from the ER calls her and tells her to get down there. She is needed for a patient. When she gets to the ER she looks for Trish. She sees a tall, dark, handsome man standing beside Trish who seems to be working on someone sitting on an ER bed. She goes up to Trish "You called me down," Trish moves out of the way and Daniella sees a little girl who is holding the man's hand for dear life. Trish tells her that the man is Ricky and his daughter is Clara. "Hi I'm Daniella Roman she said to Ricky, who gave a slight head bob, and then I moved to the little girl. “What seems to be the problem?” She asked anyone in the room. Clara is complaining of her stomach hurting, all day,” Ricky said as I began to wonder why this was my problem. “I need a nurse to do an ultrasound,” Dr. Nelson, who worked the ER, said coming into the space. Daniella gets the things she needed done. The doctor tells Ricky that Clara just has some gas and it is nothing to worry about. After Clara is taken care of, Daniella and Ricky take for a few minutes. He tells her that he just moved to the area and said something about looking for daycare for Clara. Daniella gives him a name and tells him where to go and to ask for Trina, the owner of Sunshine Academy. If there was a space to be had then Clara would get into the daycare. Ricky goes to Sunshine Academy and asks to speak to Trina. When he tells her that Daniella had sent him, she tells him that he must be special since he was the first favor she has ever asked of Trina. After Trina takes care of getting Clara enrolled, she tells Ricky that he needs to take Daniella lunch, she tells him what to get for her and where to get it. He tells her that he will think about it. Ricky shows up at the hospital a few days later with lunch and asked Daniella if she had eaten lunch yet. He is told no and the other nurse there tells her to go and take her lunch. Daniella takes him to the roof where there are tables set up. They enjoy the time they spend together and he makes plans for another date. With their schedules, they see each other when they can. Ricky and Daniella both have a Saturday off and he wants her to meet his extended family and his half-brothers. She brings her sister and her family with her. things go really well at the cookout. Daniella and Ricky have been dating for a while. Ricky and his brothers have planned to go for a motorcycle ride and Daniella has been invited to ride with Ricky. They have fun with the brothers. When they get back, Daniella asks Ricky if she could ask him a question. He tells her sure. “I thought I would take Clara with Trina myself and the boys to the little carnival out at the fairgrounds while you work.” Ricky tells her that it would be fine. When Daniella gets Clara back home, she is tired and Ricky puts her to bed. Daniella waits on him since she has something she wants to tell him. When he comes back out, she tells him that she thinks that she is falling for him. He tells her that is good because he is falling for her. She tells him that she wants him to meet her family. He is shocked by this because he remembers her saying that is one thing she didn't do. They are walking out to her car and he kissed her.“Ricky!” A woman’s voice screamed, causing us both to jump apart. “What are you doing?” The woman continued as she ran towards us, face flushed, looking a tad bit crazy. Daniella looks at the woman who is shooting daggers at her and she turns to look back at Ricky, he looked like a man that was stunned, speechless, as his mouth hung open, but no words came out. “Who are you?” I demanded, wishing the ground to open wide and swallow me whole. The woman tells Daniella that she was his baby mama. When Daniella hears this she gets mad. She didn't think that Ricky had any contact with Carla from what he had said. So how did she know where he lived if he didn't tell her? She walks away from Ricky and goes to her car. He gets to her as she slams the door and drives off.
Will things work out for Daniella and Ricky?
Will Carla get what she wants from Ricky?
This was a wonderful book and I would recommend it to anyone

This was a great short story about Ricky, Clara, and Daniella. Ricky is a single dad raising a daughter and he and his brother, Mario, move to California after finding their extended family. He ends up meeting Daniella when he takes Clara to the ER for stomach pains. It felt like love at first sight for both of them. Ricky and Daniella takes things slow just to make sure that things are really going to work so as not to hurt his daughter Clara. Some small drama when the baby momma thought she could just come back into their lives but Ricky was adamite that she was over. Basically a really clean romantic story.

Ricky and daughter Clara move to California with his brother, to set up homes and businesses near their four new brothers and their families. He meets Daniella at the hospital when Clara needs some help and the three get along great. Then the mother of Clara re-enters his life, trying to twist things and get Clara back while breaking up Ricky and Daniella. The characters are strong, determined and family oriented. The storyline was well written with plenty of drama, surprises, big decisions, twists and romance. Loved how the huge family bonded together and supported each other. Great ending ... I love bike trips. Great visualization.

Ricky and Daniella's story had me drawn to it. Ricky is a man with commitment issues thanks to his dysfunctional family growing up which only solidified it with his past relationship with his daughter's mother. When he connects with Daniella, he is drawn to her right from the beginning but when he finds out everything that his father did, will he step back thinking that he will become his father? Daniella is a nurse who is happy with her job and had no plans about finding a relationship until she meets Ricky. This story will have you in his and Daniella's corner to get their chance for finding happiness.

This is the fifth book in this series, and this is a new author to me, but I will be looking out for her work in the future. Ricky is a single dad to his little daughter, and Danielle is a dedicated pediatric nurse. These two meets in the ER, and there is an instant connection between them. Can theses two overcome the challenges in their path, when Ricky’s ex is determined to tear them apart? This is a good story which is a quick read, and has family, emotions, and love, which leads to an entertaining page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I recommend.

Another great story from the Mendoza Brothers MC Series.
Daniella and Ricky have their own story and a very long road to being happy together, along the way they encounter some bumps to overcome. Ms. Dallas did a great job the entire series is a great read and well worth checking out. There is a lot of emotion in the book and steamy scenes and much more. Well worth reading this story and the entire series

I've read a lot of books written by Nina Dallas; she is one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of her books.

This is the fifth book in the Older Man Younger Curvy Woman MC Romance Series; it is a stand-alone short story. The story is about Daniella & Ricky; she a pediatric nurse; he’s a single father; they meet in the emergency room.
