Billionaire Shifters' Nanny Mates #1
Alpha Dragon's Nanny
One advert in the paper and one reply. That’s all it took to change two lives.
Josselin
My life sucked with my family.
My parents died when I was young, and I was left with my evil uncle.
I needed to get away and one day I came across an ad for a nanny position.
I liked kids and I liked the room and board that would come with it.
I really liked the chance to finally escape.
Once I got the job, everything turned strange.
The little girl ran around pretending to be a dragon, burning up and starting fires.
Her father was handsome, making me forget it all.
A kiss changed my mind about possibilities.
A book full of journal entries told me the truth.
Antonio wasn’t just a regular man.
He was something else, something dangerous.
Antonio
Josselin was my assistant’s idea. He was convinced that she was perfect.
And she was.
Possibly, she was a little too perfect.
Short, sassy, with an angelic face and a mind that turned me on instead of annoying me.
She was unlike anyone I’d ever met.
But Josselin was human.
Off-limits.
I knew better.
So, why was it so hard to deny myself the pleasure?
And what pleasure it was…
The council finds out about Josselin. Antonio will have to keep Josselin safe from the council bent on killing her, as well as herself. Nothing will make him give her up. Nothing. Antonio would fight the world for her.

This is book one in the Billionaire Shifters Nanny Mates series. It's a hot dragon shifter romance. I'm new to the shifter romances but I've really enjoyed them. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series. The story is entertaining and has heart. I loved Antonio's daughter Ophelia, she so adorable. Josselin is so kind hearted and its heartbreaking the way her family treats her.
Antonio needs a nanny for his young daughter. Josselin is in desperate need to get out of her uncle’s house where she's being abused. She applies for a nanny position and Antonio's assistant Tommy is the one who chose her. Tommy's doing a bit of meddling only Antonio doesn’t want anyone. His daughter is the most important thing in his life plus they are dragon shifters and Josselin is a human. The attraction is strong between Josselin and Antonio and she starts to suspect there is something strange going on. Will Antonio fight to keep Josselin? Will Josselin accept that Antonio and his daughter are dragon shifters?
I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Antonio, a dragon shifter, needs a nanny for his little girl Ophelia. Josselin needs an escape from her life of hell. When Josselin's parents passed away, she was sent to live with her uncle. A horrible man who abused her. Seeing an ad for a nanny was perfect, Josselin loved children. But Josselin was human and Antonio needed a shifter nanny. Antonio's assistant hired her. Antonio knew this was a horrible idea. He couldn't have a human for his little girl. But Josselin was perfect for the job and Antonio couldn't send her away. He just had to stay strong and not get attached to the beautiful Josselin. Well, you know the saying about the best made plans.... This is just another example of the incredible work of Alicia Banks. I mean, when I see her name on a book, there is no doubt I'm going to read it. I definitely recommend this book and give it a 5 stars plus rating. Remember, if you want to read a book you can't put down, you have to pick it up first.

Josselin is living a nightmare as the niece of a domineering and physically abusive SOB uncle, the sister of an equally lying brother and cousin.
The story starts with Josselin sporting a black eye on her cousin's wedding day where she is expected to not only serve as a brides maid but as a modern day Cinderella as well.
As she confides in her best friend, she is desperate to get out of this situation and get lost someplace where her abusive family won't find her.
Antonio is the Dragon Alpha who lost his mate three years ago in childbirth and is now single parenting a three years old daughter. The daughter goes through nannies like a child goes through candy. He is looking for his fifth Nanny in the last four months.
The author starts a series with a very well written book with the following message: "
As long as there is life, there is hope."
5 Stars

A Touching Tale
An Avid fan of Dragonlore, I enjoyed this book. Plenty of emotion, action, and the building of a new life, from the wretches she came from.
Tommy was a lot of fun. A lot more memorable and having more personality than most seconds/betas.
I would have liked a longer more drawn out scene right near the end. The reader seeing her dealing with the final "business meeting" in all its glory would have been satisfying. She deserved to hear it from others how worthy she is.
The Author gave an excellent ending though that I really loved.
Would love another story of a dragon family with a precocious preteen that uses her powers to get rid of an evil-step-mom and hooks up her dad with someone better. Ophelia made me wish to read more dragon-kid stories. She's an awesome kid in this story.

What a great start to a series. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. The storyline was strong and really grabbed my attention and I had a hard time with putting it down until I finished reading the story. I loved Josselin and how with the life she lived once she moved into her uncles home, she still didn’t hold any horrible grudges against him, she only wanted to get away and forget her family. Antonio saved her from what would have been her certain demise. I loved how once she knew that he was a dragon shifter, she loved him unconditionally knowing that just by knowing his secret, that the shifters could make her disappear. I loved that they had their HEA.

An enjoyable story about Josseline a human go gets a job as a nanny for Antonio's daughter. He's a dragon shifter who has no intention of getting involved, let alone falling in love with a human. Normally he doesn't interact with humans if he doesn't have to. But he finds himself drawn to Josselin almost against his will.
Josselin is sweet and kind and may come across as weak but coming from an abusive family she's stronger than she seems but is she strong enough to cope with his secret? Antonio is what you would expect from an alpha dragon shifter, he's loyal, strong and extremely protective of all he holds dear. The storyline is well-paced with some danger and intrigue as well as some likeable characters and an enjoyable love story.

Great romance that kept you wondering what would happen next. Josselin & Antonio's story was a great beginning to this series. Lots of intrigue and adorable moments. Josselin, despite her abusive family situation, has a heart of gold and infinite curiosity which leads her to discover Antonio's secret. Antonio is a typical Alpha shifter who's a single father, loyal, protective and covets those he loves and protects. So glad these two got the HEA they both deserved!

Jossilen had a crappy upbringing by some really ugly people that she had to call family. Responding to an add for a nanny she is basically picked for the position without proper interview.
The fantasy realms are all there, magic, dragons, love, loss betrayal and of course HEA, but for me the story and characters lacked depth and perception. I didn't feel like the characters and interactions made the full circle that the author intended.

Interesting concept but I didn't like how the writing style steered away from continuous dialogue and instead had a general description for how the conversation went. This disconnect meant it was hard to relate to the characters and particularly the romance that developed.
I was hoping the protagonist had suffered abuse because she had some paranormal aspect that her uncle was trying to hide (sort of like Harry Potter being hidden under the stairs), just to make the story more interesting, and maybe give her a longer life with her love interest. But no. She just gets grass for the castle.

Josselin is living with her abusive uncle after her parents died. Constantly being punished for the littlest thing, Josselin decides to take back her freedom and look for a job that will take her away from him. Antonio is looking for a nanny to take care of his three year old daughter. His second in command, Tommy, finds Josselin’s application and set up an interview. The chemistry between these two characters is electric from their first meeting. Intrigue, secrets and family drama bring this story together. Great read.

***spoiler alert***Josselin answered a couple of ads for live in nanny needed, to get away from her abusive uncle and went to work for Antonio. They were drawn to each other, Antonio realized that she was his second mate! Her best friend helped her brother kidnap her, Josselin’s friend didn’t know the real reason of the kidnapping. Antonio saved her and his daughter was very glad! A very good book!

Alpha Dragon's Nanny
Interesting....It was completely different than what I expected. I loved it, especially since it was about dragons. I had moments when I could have just sat and cried about what was happening but this author has written the book so well and solved the problems so perfectly, it was hard to put the book down until I finished it.

Enchanting
Humans and dragons. When a human woman is being abused and forced to do the commands of her uncle, pretty much everyone turns a blind eye. A dragon is looking for a nanny and the second in command just knows the woman is the one for the nanny position and more. Lovely story.

Deserve love
My heart went out to Joselin and how she was treated by family. Glad Tommy came and rescued her. Antonio definitely fought his fee!ings for her. But what got me is how Melanie smiled in her face and turn around and stab Joselin in her back. Far as her family they get what they deserved.

Brilliant
Alpha Dragons Nanny (Billionaire Shifter Nanny Mates) by Alicia Banks. When Josselins parents died, her and her brother were taken in by their uncle. Her uncle treated her worse than a servant. She applied and got a nanny’s job with dragon shifter Antonio. Unfortunately her uncle doesn’t want her to leave him.

When Antonio hires Josselin to be the nanny for his daughter, he has no idea how many changes will take place in his life. The story keeps you turning the pages with love/lust, danger and secrets.

I just can’t (DNF)
Can someone explain why this book is rated higher than one star? The actual story is ok but the writing is atrocious. I stopped at page 53 to avoid giving myself a headache. Trust me when I say not everyone is meant to be a writer.

Stuck in an abusive situation with her relatives, Josselin will take any job offering accommodations to escape. This leads to many unanswered questions questions in her new position. The danger increases as the story progresses. At one point my heart was pounding, it was so intense.

Great fantasy
It was a great read the idea of dragon accepting human love sort of reminds me of interracial marriages that love will conquer all in the end. You will enjoy the adventure that goes with the story and see the cruelty that man can besrow.

So good
This story is rather like Cinderella in a way. She had a rotten life and thought she would never get away from the people who took her in when her parents died. It was so good i had tears in my eyes.

OMG Loved this book
I loved this storyline. The nanny aspect was really amazing. I loved that he took her under his wings and made sure that she was left with no one that could harm her.

Okay book
I was looking for more in this book. Why did Antonio 2nd in command think she was best for the Job of Nanny? In the beginning she made mention of something inside of her. She used the word "human" like she wasn't human. Book seem incomplete to me.

Unbelievable
Exciting, interesting, mind-blowing story. Very enjoyable and totally different from other romantic/sci-fi stories. Nail biting and edge of seat action.

A human nanny can definitely be challenging for an alpha dragon! Especially when your home is in an unusual location and she is clueless to all of it!
