robinlovesreading's review against another edition
4.0
Nick Garroway is a former soldier and an honorable man. Before a soldier dies while saving Nick's life, the man asks Nick to check on a woman he got pregnant and abandoned. Nick plans on making sure she, and her twin babies, are doing okay. He then plans on checking on his father, as they were estranged while he was in the military. Finally, Nick plans on purchasing a ranch.
Brooke Timber is a single mother to twin sons. She is working hard at keeping her wedding planning business afloat despite stiff opposition, and the fact that her nanny had to take some time off. Her grandmother left her the business and when her grandmother was alive it was thriving. Brooke can barely rope in any clients, even though living in the town of Wedlock, where marriage and multiples thrive, Brooke is struggling.
When a great opportunity presents itself - and almost slips through her fingers - Nick shows up at her door. She thinks the handsome stranger is there to answer her ad for a temporary nanny. He is only there to check up on her, but when he sees her predicament, and hears two screaming babies, he jumps in and makes matters right, thus saving her business opportunity. Nick cannot explain why, but, in a matter of moments, he takes on the job of being the nanny, or more appropriately, manny.
What a wonderful book! If not for the babies, the love story is totally adorable. This book worked on every level. This is a nice, clean and sweet romance that I truly enjoyed. The story even added angst when it came to Nick's relationship with his father and brother. I think this gave what might have been an overly sweet story just the perfect balance.
This book by Melissa Senate is my first by her, but it certainly won't be my last.
Many thanks to Harlequin Special Edition and to NetGalley for this ARC to review in exchange for my honest opinion.

It was cute, but I feel like it should have been longer. There wasn’t a ton of character development, and I’m confused on a few of the plot points. There’s definitely room for a sequel though, if that was ever something to come

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Nick Garroway is fulfilling a promise to a fallen comrade who saved his life. Medically discharged from the military, he's back in his home town to make good on that promise. Checking up on Brooke Timber is supposed to be easy for him. Go in, pass on a message, make sure she and the new twin boys have what they need and leave. Only it becomes clear very quickly is that Brooke needs a nanny to help her before she and her wedding planner business fall apart. Nick can't believe it when he finds himself volunteering for the duty...
Let me just say that is was actually a pretty cute and refreshing read. There's nothing like reading about a man who is highly capable of caring for twin 3 month old babies. Or about a man who wants to and not just to get in good with their struggling but successful mother, but because he wants to help. Help all of them. Nick is a genuinely nice guy...who needs to get more in touch with his feelings.
The only thing you have to ask yourself before you start reading is, do you believe in love at first sight?
If your answer is yes, you're golden and should thoroughly enjoy this book! Just don't expect any details in the intimate areas. They are 100% glossed over. So if that is what you're looking to read, keep going, this is not it.
All in all, it was pretty good.
