About this book
I signed an NDA, but I didn't sign up for this.
When my funding falls through, I take a live-in manny position that comes with a paycheck I can't ignore and three kids I'd been warned were “spirited.”
The kids are sweet, but they are hot to the touch, they make strange comments about fire, and the scorch marks around the house don't add up. My new boss is the most intoxicating man I've ever met, which would be fine if he kept his distance.
I lose track of where the job ends and something else begins between bedtime stories with three kids climbing all over me and a kiss from my boss in a dark hallway. Every day I stay, I fall harder for him and his kids, and I'm starting to wonder if I'll still want the truth when I finally get it.
The Dragon's Reluctant Manny is an M/M mpreg shifter romance featuring fated mates, a single dad alpha dragon trying to keep his secret, three little dragons with fire in their fingertips, a grad student who notices everything except the obvious, a baby on the way, and a household full of love hiding behind scorch marks and locked doors. If you love a slow-burn romance with a kind-hearted human, an overprotective dragon, and kids who accidentally set the world on fire, this book is for you.

This is a good start to a new series. I have read enough fated mate stories to know Fate puts the perfect person in front of you. This could not be more true of these two. Ledger is the best person to care for three unique children. Theron has tried since the death of his first love, but he definitely needs help with three thriving dragon children. All three of the babies are super sweet. Their story is sweet because of so much interaction with the children. I have not read many books where...

The Dragon's Reluctant Manny was such a sweet and heartwarming read. I absolutely loved this MM dragon shifter romance. Theron is a single dragon shifter dad doing his best to raise his three small children, and Ledger is the human manny he brings in to help. From the very beginning, their connection feels warm and genuine, and watching their relationship slowly grow into something deeper was incredibly satisfying. This story is filled with second chances, true mates, and all the comforting...

Ledger was working on his PhD thesis in Psychology when he received word his funding was canceled. Having little to no money and not wanting to go to his parents for help, he decided that he would lake a position as a nanny. Or Manny as it were. Having no success he finally convinced his colleague Jess to point him to the au Pair organization that Jess had mentioned as being reputable. Ledger was good with children but was a little concerned with some of the wording in the four page NDA he...

\"The Dragon’s Reluctant Manny\" is book one in Colbie Dunbar's, Paranormal Au Pair Agency. Ms. Dunbar is one of my favorite omegaverse authors. You would think that after writing about a bazillion alpha/omegas (alone and with her partners like Lorelei Hart) the stories would become a bit stale. A bit \"She did that in the last book\". Once again, Ms. Dunbar has put a fresh spin on the a/o format. (Uninformed human omega meets shifter alpha, insta love, reveal, baby, HEA.) It absolutely blows...

Desperate for funds to complete his studies, Ledger takes on the role of manny for a widowed father and his children. He's a bit nervous about taking on the role, as his last position as an au pair was a bit of nightmare. Once he meets Theron and his kids, he is a bit relieved as the children are not the terrors he anticipated due to the family losing several nannies before him. Dragon shifter and widower Theron immediately senses that Ledger is his mate. As a human, Ledger doesn't quite feel...
