The story of a single dad rancher falling for his kids' nanny. Also classic grumpy meets sunshine (she calls him Grumpy) - he can be a bit of a surly asshole, and she's all light and sweetness. Their attraction is lust/looks-based at start before they form a deeper connection, with the kids being a big part of it. There are good attempts to build a friendship, and their chemistry is solid, leading to an enjoyable romance that's fairly low angst and quite sweet. Her connection with the kids is great, too.
But I didn't like how she wasn't completely honest with him, and some of her reasoning was really baffling. Although marketed as RS, the suspense is on the light, simple side and felt a bit like an afterthought. The writing also felt stilted at times, and certain dialogues read awkward.
