Cry Baby (Pierce Brothers Book 4) by Belinda Williams – Review by Tia Martel

Cry Baby (Pierce Brothers, #4)Cry Baby by Belinda Williams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Amy has decided she needs a career change and to do that, she’s headed back to school. Like anything, that’s a bit hard to do when you need money to survive, so she’s planning on working as a nanny while she takes classes. A bright, happy optimist, Amy is always looking for the bright side of a situation.

Noah Pierce is NOT a bright, happy optimist. In fact, his dark, brooding and silent nature are a complete contrast to Amy. So when he unexpectedly becomes the caretaker for his best friends daughter, he needs help. He has no idea how to take care of someone else, let alone suddenly being a dad and no one knows who the father is so it’s up to him to care for her.

Noah hires Amy to help care for Amelia and she sees what Noah can’t: he can be a great dad. If he only chooses to see it. Can Amy help Noah recognize his family man potential without falling in love in the process? Can a relationship survive when the line is crossed?

When I saw another Pierce Brothers novel, I squealed! I’ve loved all of the ones I’ve read so far and this one is no exception. Belinda Williams writes a man just like you want him! Tall, handsome, irresistible, slightly naughty, and a heart of gold.

I am so sad to see the Pierce Brothers storylines end because they are the perfect romance to me. I laugh, I cry, and I want more from all of them.

The characters are well-written, the story is heartbreaking but lighthearted enough that you don’t dwell on the pain too much.

If you struggle with stories about loss or COVID is a tough topic for you, this story may be one to avoid for now.

Sooo, the Pierce Brothers have friends, right? Can we get some of them next?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this cute and sometimes outrageous story about Chase and Hollis. The characters are well written, quirky, and fun. These business neighbors come up with some pretty good pranks on one another until one assumed prank ends up threatening the not-so-friendly bantering nature of their relationship and turning it into something more serious. As they try to work together on a common goal, things get a bit steamy; with all that heat between them as frenemies, it’s easy to see that translate into some bedroom tension. The question is whether or not the can both maintain their take on the world themselves attitude while simultaneously learning to trust and depend on each other. Such a fun read! I’m looking forward to reading some of the other books in this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cash and Hollis are neighboring business owners who communicate via pranks and sarcasm. Cash’s misconception of Hollis seems to be the reason for this strife but the reason for their initial tension was never clear so I’m still left wondering why they hated each other to begin with. I really wanted more reason for this than it being a man’s misconception on a strong, independent female. This concept never sits well with me and it led me to not enjoy Cash’s character for the majority of this book. Hollis was an incredible character with love, courage, grace and a down to earth nature that doesn’t fit into her family’s visions for her future. While Cash annoyed me, the storyline did evolve nicely and kept me engaged. Good read with a nice cast of supporting characters.

Emotional rom-com
I love this series. This is the fourth book in the Pierce Brother series and it had me all sorts of emotional. This is Noah’s story and how Amy came into his life. There’s a lot to pull at the heartstrings from loss and heart ache to becoming a parent and finding love. Highly recommend this whole series.

This is the fourth book of the Pierce Brothers Series and I’m a first time reader of this author Belinda Williams. So far I’d say she’s an amazing writer and really knows how to tell a story. This book had me going through emotional ups and downs, but I loved that they got there happily ever after. Noah and Amy are soo freaking adorable together and with Amelia. I’m already sad this is the last book fingers crossed for a spin-off. But at least I get to go back to read the Victoria and Seth story along with the other two stories involving the brothers.

Ps Noah dressing as a wiggle and singing the songs LMAO perfection

Optimistic Amy becomes a nanny while attempting to get along with her more cynical boss Noah. This book has all the trademarks of a rom-com but dives deeper into the trials and tribulations some books tend to skim over. I love how the author showcased the characters in such a way that they were beyond the page and came to life from the first chapter! Though this is a short book, I felt the pace was perfect and the storyline flowed well, allowing the reader to organically ride the emotional rollercoaster throughout. I read this book out of order, but will circle back to read some of the others in the series!

⭐️⭐️⭐⭐⭐ Book Review

Noah Pierce not only lost his best friend unexpectedly at age 34 to Covid but became the legal guardian to her 7 month old baby girl, Amelia. Noah is a grumpy workaholic who has no idea how to be a father. Noah has no idea how a child will fit into his world. Luckily, happy-go-lucky Amy Highgate saunters into his life and is willing to take the job as his overly paid live-in nanny. Amy thought this was a great opportunity to save money to work towards her teaching degree. She had no idea that this gig would turn into an attraction for her boss.

Cry Baby is the fourth installment of the Pierce Brother series but can easily be read as a standalone. This was my first time reading a novel written by Williams and I absolutely loved her work. The characters were all lovable, relatable, and had a story to share. Amy had skeletons in her closet that didn’t surface until a specific event triggered the past. I love that Williams was able to write about these triggers and the need and response to therapy with such poise. There were times Williams brought tears to my eyes. The loss of Beth was hard on many people and the discovery of the information about Amelia’s father just stole my heart. And the letter, well we won’t talk about what that letter did to my mama heart strings!

Overall, this was a really good book! If I could rate it with more than 5 stars I most definitely would. Probably one of the best I have read all year. I personally have not read any of the other books in this series but I am headed to Amazon now to purchase the remainder of the series. I highly recommend reading Cry Baby by Belinda Williams. You won’t regret it!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I first chose this book, I was unaware that it was part of a series, however, I don’t think I missed anything vital from the previous books. I would say it can be read as a standalone.
There were aspects of the story that were deeper than I was expecting for example grief and loss however the author was navigated this very well and portrayed the emotions so well there were times I found myself feeling the emotions too.
I loved the main characters, Amy and Noah, they were both sweet and trying to figure things out, overcoming their personal traumas and the way their romance progressed was very sweet, though not easy. Amy was the bubbly one, while Noah initially appears withdrawn. The way they come together, and they bounce off each other and grow as people was endearing.
The writing style was easy to follow, and I didn’t want to put the book down at al even taking it to work with me. I found myself smiling and emotional alongside the characters and will certainly be going back to read the earlier books in the series – the author has a new fan in me!

Amy is looking for a nanny position while she transitions from a beauty journalist to taking university classes for education. She finds the perfect position when her best friend’s brother in law is given guardianship of his best friend’s daughter when she suddenly passes away. Noah Pierce doesn’t necessarily know how to handle a baby. Amelia is the seven month old daughter of his best friend Beth and he is so unsure of what to do. Noah is such a workaholic and that’s where Amy comes in. Amy was never meant to fall for Noah and Noah was never meant to fall for her. How could a relationship like this go wrong?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a cute romance that hits many different tropes. Boss to lover, Sunny vs. Grumpy, and a little just spit it out. I thought Belinda Williams did a great job of weaving these together. I had not read the previous Pierce Brothers, but works as a stand alone. There was not a lot of spice, but the spicy parts were well written and fit with the story, not just popping up out of nowhere, and I like in a book.

When Noah’s best friend suddenly passes away and leave him with her daughter Amelia, he needs help. Enter, Amy! Amy is a glass half full kinda gal and Noah has always seen the dark side since his mother passed away. Amy works hard to show Noah there is more to life than the secluded one he has built for himself. When working through his issues, she finds she may have been burrying some of her own.

Noah was a numbers man and by the book. Watching him with sunny and cheerful Amy was quite the transformation. Each grumpy sunshine has its own unique dynamic and theirs was one that was unforgettable.

If you are looking for a book that will give you all the feels, leave you crying, smiling, and wanting to keep turning the pages, then this book is for you!

Cry Baby by Belinda Williams continues the story of the lovable Pierce brothers. Although it’s the 4th book in the series, it can easily be read as a standalone and thoroughly enjoyed.

This book touches on some difficult topics but does it in a relatable and heartfelt way. I loved the fact that the characters seemed real, flawed, and nuanced but still kept the fun of a romance. I can’t wait to pick up other novels by this author.

Happy Reading!

Vanessa Estrada rated a book ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book pulls on your heartstrings with a cute child and a (cuter?) male love interest. As soon as I read that he could sing, I swooned. I loved this story, even though I haven’t read the other books, I was still invested and might have already added the other installments to my TBR. Very cute romantic grumpy x sunshine, highly recommend for a feel-good read that’ll make you sigh in contentment when you’re done.

This was a laugh-out-loud story of 2 business owners who are enemies who use pranks to war with each other.

This book is book four of the series but can be read as a standalone. I didn’t read the first three books but didn’t feel like I lost anything. It might be a good idea to read them first to be introduced to other characters.

Noah is lost and in over his head as he finds himself the guardian of a baby. He does what anyone would do, calls his brother for help. Luckily his brother knows Amy and Amy happens to be good with kids. At first glance Amy can tell Noah is overwhelmed. She wants nothing more than to help. So she finds herself hired as Amelia’s nanny. Amy is sunshine and rainbows and Noah is definitely not. Can these two get passed their differences? There is so much more to their story but you should really read it yourself.

This was a really good read. The characters have depth and are a tad complicated. There’s secrets and a lot of emotion. This book is well written and I’m glad I picked it up!

Cry Baby: A Grump Sunshine Slow Burn Romantic Comedy (Pierce Brothers Book 4)

Crying is what I feel like doing knowing I have to say bye to the brothers. I have fallen a little in love with each of them for totally different reasons.

Noah was so hard for me to get any vibes on in the previous books but now I know why. It’s crazy how the brothers were all raised basically the same way but the loss of their Mom impacted them into their adult lives and Noah’s way was to retreat.

Amy is trust into Noah’s life when he desperately needed help. She was there to save the day amongst other things.

I loved seeing Noah progress and evolve throughout the book. He was finally able to move forward after so many years.

I have had the pleasure of reading several books by Ms. Williams and enjoyed every single one. Looking forward to reading more by her in the future. Maybe a spinoff from this series so we can catch up with the boys and their lives???

FIRST RULE OF BEING A NANNY—DON’T FALL FOR YOUR BOSS…
This is the first book that I have read from the author and I wasn’t disappointed. I fell in love almost immediately. I’ve always been a sucker for employer/employee romance books.
Cry Baby is the fourth book in the Pierce Brothers series. Each book can be read as a standalone and features four brothers who are equally nice as they are naughty.

Amy Highgate always looks on the bright side and she’s determined to make her live-in nanny job a success, despite her new boss being the brooding silent type.

Noah Pierce is a confirmed bachelor who prefers numbers to people. But after the unexpected death of his close friend, he’s now the sole guardian of a baby girl, only he has absolutely no clue how to be a dad. To make matters worse, no one knows who Amelia’s father is.

While Noah is determined to find Amelia’s dad, Amy believes that Noah’s more of a family man than he realises—if only she can help him to see it. Except she hadn’t planned on falling for her boss in the process. Or what they both stand to lose if their working relationship crosses the line from business to pleasure…
I’m excited to read more from this author in the future.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cash and Hollis own businesses next to each other…and have been trading pranks back and forth pretty much since Hollis opened up her pet grooming shop. They have all been harmless…until the latest one is going to cost Cash thousands of dollars. Feeling guilty, Hollis does whatever she can to help. However, working together causes their hate toward each other to turn into lust and, boy, do these to have chemistry that is off the charts. But, when the truth comes out about what is really going on, can these two trust each other? Or did a line get crossed that they can never come back from?

I enjoyed the banter between these two. While the pranks described are childish and humorous, I couldn’t believe that Hollis would take it that far. Watching her do whatever she could to help out, and ease her own guilt…and watching Cash take on the responsibility on his shoulders so others wouldn’t suffer…reminds me of what being the oldest child is like (even if Cash isn’t technically the oldest). It’s something ingrained in our brains and it is hard to turn off. These two worked through it in a way that felt so real! Overall, a good book that I enjoyed reading.

Book 4 in the Pierce brothers series and it was so damn good. Holy cow, I adored this one in the series way to much to be healthy honestly.

This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up. I never hesitate to pick up one of her books. They are full of laughs and romance. I enjoy how she brings her stories to life with her creative writing skills. This book is no different. The characters pulled me into their world from the start. They are connectable and added so much to the story. They made me laugh at times and crazy at others. They have great chemistry and growth throughout the story. This is a story where a business needs to be saved but these characters may find that the business is not the only thing that is worth something. I really enjoyed these characters and how they made the story easy to read. This is a story you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book and this author.

I really enjoyed this book and found myself disappointed when I couldn’t find the time to read it. This story was cute, fun and even had a small plot twist in it.
Cash and Hollis were adorable from start to finish. Their banter was fun to follow and made me gasp and laugh out loud. The family dynamic and the love for animals also had me hooked from the start. This was a good, fast, lighthearted easy read.
This was the first book that I read from this author, and I found myself wanting to know more about the other characters, which I was THRILLED to find out that I can because she wrote stories on some of them.

Set in the mountains of North Carolina, two small town business owners have a rivalry going on. Cash’s brewery is just getting its legs when Hollis moves in next door. Her dog grooming business is at odds with the brewery for a multitude of reasons. When the Hollis and Cash start pranking each other, things go a little too far.
Opinion
The setting of this book is right up the road from me. Stewart does a great job emanating what a town in the mountains of NC would be like.
I personally enjoyed the scenes where the two main characters were fighting, not only each other but their own attraction to the other one. There were many places where I found myself laughing out loud at what happened.
Overall, I think that the best part of the book was the way the characters were described and the actions they took. I could imagine meeting people like the characters walking around town with a little vendetta on their mind against the other one.
I look forward to more books in this series.

Cry Baby is the first book I’ve read by this author and obviously the first I’ve read of the Pierce Brothers series. This book read well without having read any books prior. Cry Baby was a refreshing rom com that handled loss and grief well. The characters were really well written and I loved to see the progression as the storyline unfolded. As always when I find a book series later in the game, I am really interested in reading more and learning about the tie in characters. I found yet another to add to my ever growing to be read pile.

She did a fantastic job weaving together a realistic story with romance and tragedy and characters who are just beautifully human. I would love to see more authors tackle the use of therapy to heal from trauma as a way to help normalize it, and this book made great use of it without it overtaking the story. I am not a crier, but this book definitely had me in tears. Can’t wait to read more from this series and author!
