About this ebook

Widowed single dad Noah needs help in the worst way. He’s desperate to find a new live-in nanny to care for his four-year-old twins while he’s at work in the stables. Ever since his wife died, he has lived like a monk. What with raising two boys solo and working as the horse master for Silver Springs Ranch, there hasn’t been time in his life for things like finding a willing bed partner to slake his dark needs.

 

When the achingly beautiful Morgan appears on his doorstep inquiring about the job, he doesn’t think twice about hiring her. He snaps her up before she discovers his boys are little hellions who have driven the last few nannies away over their antics.

 

And yet, for the first time in three years, since he buried his heart in the ground, Noah is entranced by naughty visions of the new nanny. She’s young, full of enthusiasm, and stirs up every wicked fantasy in his arsenal.

 

He prays he has the fortitude to resist her delectable charms because she’s forbidden. At his age, he can’t sleep with, let alone crave, a woman fresh out of college. But she keeps casting sexy glances suffused with desire in his direction, battering his resolve to stay away. She’s headstrong, and he aches to exert his dominance.

 

Will he wave the white flag, and surrender to her naughty whispered pleas?

Ratings and reviews

This wasn’t the pairing that I was hoping for next, however I did wonder if perhaps those two would be the final partnership explored in the series. I loved Morgan. She’s been raised as a bit of a protected daddy’s girl, but since her father’s passing she’s needed to find and develop a spine of steel. I adored the twins. Calling them precocious badly undersells their curiosity and mischievousness. Noah, on the other hand, left me wanting to smack him for most of the book. In fact, there’s one scene where after accusing her of something she didn’t do, he later demeans her emotions and kind overrides all of her concerns to be intimate with her. If I had been in Morgan’s place, Doc Gracie would have been stitching him back together at that point. I was so glad to finally see him pull his head out of his backside and own up to what he was really feeling for Morgan. The ending is perfectly adorable and I’m looking forward to seeing how the next book will play out, since we got to see a bit of his hero complex leading up to the end of this one. I received a complimentary copy of this book through Booksprout.

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review. In this book we meet Morgan Davies & Noah Reed. Morgan just needs a break. She had no idea her father had a gambling problem or the fact that he had mortgaged both the house and the gas station he had owned outright at one time. The fact that he did though and then had a heart attack before he could pay back the money means Morgan is about to be homeless. So when she reads an ad for a live in nanny for Noah Reed she jumps at the chance. When she goes to meet with him she can't believe the two twin little boys don't already have a nanny that isn't her. She isn't willing to look a gift horse in the mouth but she wonders. It only takes less than one day for her to realize there are more to these boys than meets the eye. Noah can't believe it when Morgan comes answering his ad. He just hopes she will stay and not be run off by the boys antics. The more he sees of her the more he wants of her. But can he open up again or will the ghosts of his wife make that a place he just can't go. Another amazing hit out of the park. This story will grab you from the first page and you won't want to let go even when you read those two words, "the end". I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

*** Free book for an honest review *** First this book is part of a series. No cliff hanger here if you were worried. I have read several books by this author and so far, she has never failed to deliver. I love the western setting and her ability to still make the story engaging and hot. You feel for Noah and really cheer on Morgan, however I have to say there was a couple of times I just wanted to smack Noah upside his head and tell him to quit living in the past. Anyone who buys this book will find out it was well worth monies spent and like me ready and waiting for the next installment to this series. *** Free book for an honest review ***
