A Nanny for the Rancher's Twins By Heidi Main
Laney Taylor has plans for her late aunt and uncle's ranch, and they don't involve allowing the neighbor's cattle to roam everywhere freely. But Ethan McCaw isn't about to give up on the land that he has been leasing. If he hopes to keep his family's ranch going, he needs to convince Laney to change her mind. Which is easier said than done.
Laney and Ethan are both focused on pursuing their dream - Ethan of keeping his ranch as a family business and Laney turning her ranch into a wedding venue. But Ethan needs to access to Laney's land that he has been leasing the rights to for years. And Laney needs the land for her wedding venues but she also needs the funds the lease provides. Can they reach a compromise? Or will both their dreams and goals be lost to them forever?
When Ethan offers his assistance in exchange for six weeks of help with his three-year-old twin daughters, neither he nor Laney expected anything but a mutually beneficial short-term deal. Neither expected to have their hearts get involved. And that just won't do as both have a history of relationship failures that have made them vow never again. But twin girls didn't figure into their equations.
A Nanny for the Rancher's Twins finds two people who are more than a little surprised to find that achieving their dream just may cost the other their dream. Is it possible for dreams to change? Can a compromise be worked out so that both can come true?
Throughout, Laney and Ethan are struggling with betrayals in their pasts that are keeping them from accepting what they truly want in life. Can the betrayals have caused too much distrust and raised too many walls to ever be breached? And what if there are two adorable three-year-old heart-stealing twins involved?
This is a sweet contemporary book that deals with a whole lot of past hurts that have kept both Ethan and Laney from seeking out love. But sometimes, what our head tells us is safe disagrees with what the heart wants. And overcoming past hurts and betrayals can be a major hindrance in living life to its fullest. But how does one change? How can trying to be safe actually cause more hurt than good? These are the issues that the two are left to try to figure out, and we, as readers, are brought along on their journey. I think it is interesting how they are trying to allow two vastly different businesses to work together in the same area - a wedding venue and a cattle ranch. Living next door to cattle, I can just imagine the cleaning that would need doing before anyone in a wedding dress would want to wear their dress in that field, no matter how beautiful the view from the hilltop. Just saying cows can be a tad messy! Overall this was a nice read with not a lot of anything other than normal day-to-day living and the unexpected problems that it can bring, which admittedly can, at times, be overwhelming.
I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion, all thoughts expressed are my own.
