Bombshell, an all-new sexy and swoony standalone from CD Reiss now LIVE!
TITLE: Bombshell AUTHOR: C.D. Reiss GENRE: Contemporary Romance
PUBLISHER: Montlake
RELEASE DATE: May 1st, 2017
Hollywood bad boy Brad Sinclair always gets his way, whether it’s the role he wants or the bikini-clad model he has to have. But when a bombshell gets dropped in his lap in the form of a dimpled five-year-old from a forgotten relationship, he knows his life is about to change forever.
Cara DuMont isn’t exactly thrilled when she gets assigned to be the nanny for the latest box-office king. She has one rule: no celebrity fathers, especially single ones with devilish good looks and rock-hard abs.
But as soon as Cara meets Brad and his adorable little girl, she knows she’s in for a world of trouble. Because there’s something about the way Brad looks at her that makes her believe that some rules are meant to be broken…
From the blurb only, I was truly intrigued by this Hollywood / single daddy romance and decided to finally try this author I’d heard so much about. Bombshell was my first introduction to C.D. Reiss’s writing and I can’t help but feel slightly disappointed. For me this novel was too slow to take flight; it took me almost half the book to finally enter the story. It’s not that it wasn’t good, but just not enough to capture my complete attention. Some part of it have to do with the fact that at first I didn’t really connect with the characters. Brad, as a new single dad, had difficulty to adjust and was pretty immature about it, but he gradually grew on me. But the scenes where he interacts with his little girl Nicole are so endearing and warmed my heart. Nicole is such a cutie and I loved every single passages with her. When Brad and Cara, the nanny, finally starts spending time together, that’s where I really dived into the story. Their romance is sweet, sexy and not too rushed. The drama happening in the second part of the story saved the book for me. The struggles between Brad and Cara with the definition of this new relationship was well written and enjoyable to read. Bombshell wasn’t exactly what I was expecting, but I still appreciated this novel.

CD Reiss is a New York Times bestseller. She still has to chop wood and carry water, which was buried in the fine print. Her lawyer is working it out with God but in the meantime, if you call and she doesn't pick up she's at the well hauling buckets.
Born in New York City, she moved to Hollywood, California to get her master's degree in screenwriting from USC. In case you want to know, that went nowhere but it did give her a big enough ego to write novels.
She's frequently referred to as the Shakespeare of Smut which is flattering but hasn't ever gotten her out of chopping that cord of wood.
If you meet her in person, you should call her Christine.
