**The Maid’s Spanish Secret by Dani Collins**

This is one of those that makes you want to shake the H and yell  "took you long enough".
Rico is trapped between duty and well... Poppy. 
It seems that duty may have won out. 
Poppy wants to do the right thing and in my opinion, little Lily is not only the right thing but perfect as well. 
I enjoyed the overall story and I really enjoyed Poppy. 
Her character is vibrant and she is not afraid to do what needs to be done or what she feels is the right thing! ... unlike our H.
Not really impressed with Rico I think he should have stood up for what he believed and what he wanted, not just belly up-ed to his parents' demands.
 Hello, you are old enough to make your own choices. 
Things eventually work themselves out but the loss of time and the heartache suffered while Rico was finding his spine was completely avoidable.
This does end with a HEA - it's a Harlequin folks

**Big Shot by  Katy Evans**

William is just an unhappy grumpy pain in the backside!
I would have served him his morning coffee lap side!
India has suffered enough stress working under him.
There are plenty of jobs for a woman with her skill where she will not develop ulcers.
But we all know how Fate works she has her own plans and usually, they do not  match with our own

William's world is turned upside down and he finds himself needing India's assistance - 
Can he get her to agree to help him?
Will they survive working together in such close quarters?

I have to admit it was fun to watch William come down a peg or two.

William and India were like oil and water - 
Every time they entered the others orbit they just couldn't find a way to coexist. 
You could feel the tension radiating off the pages.
But eventually, they found a common ground 

**The Nanny’s Secret Baby by  Lee Tobin McClain**

I had a bit of trouble with the H in this one.
Jack comes off as a bit judgmental right out the gate
He had an inkling his little partner was autistic but now that the diagnosis is confirmed he decides  to hire a nanny to ensure little Sammy gets a head start ensuring the best for his future 
Arianna Sammy's aunt ( as for as Jack is concerned) offers to help but Jack is not to keen on the idea of someone so vibrant and full of life caring for his little guy- How can someone so full of life stay organized? How could she possibly care for little Sammy properly?  - and cue me not so happy with Jack

Arianna has her secrets but she also had her reasons. I enjoyed the strength she showed and that she took the time to evaluate how her decisions would affect everyone, not just her. 
As Jack spends time with her and begins to see past the label he originally placed on her he finds his original judgment may have been a bit harsh.
This is an inspirational story about acceptance, forgiveness, and family.
