Abigail is just in Moose Creek, Montana for the summer to temporarily care for her great aunt. But a tender-hearted cowboy beckons her to stay. Abigail Jones intends to spend just one summer in middle-of-nowhere Montana with her Aunt Lucy. Time away from her job is just what Abigail needs to reassess her life. The slow pace has her breathing deeply for the first time in years. And the majestic scenery encourages her to get reacquainted with herself . . . and God. What she didn't count on was the handsome widowed cowboy who owns the ranch where her aunt lives. When the rancher loses his daughter's nanny, Abigail decides to lend a hand for the summer. Wade Ryan can't help being attracted to Abigail. But he's given up everything to protect his daughter, and he's not about to risk it all on a pretty face. Under Abigail's care, Wade's home and daughter thrive. And with Wade's touch, Abigail's heart feels at home at last. But Abigail knows this elusive rancher is hiding something. Will her own secrets separate her from the cowboy who finally captured her heart?… (more)

It was great until Abigail decided to write the story about Wade. I was not fond of that part at all. ( )

Abby is a workaholic who is forced to slow down when she is sent to help her aunt. Over the course of the novel both Abby and Wade (who she falls in love with) have to learn to turn to God to find peace. The characters were very likable. ( )

Abigail Jones loves her job as an investigative reporter in Chicago. But when stress combines with a pre-existing health condition, Abigail's mom (who is also her boss) forces her to take a three-month leave and go to Montana to visit with her great-aunt. Abigail is less than thrilled to be sent to the back of beyond but then she meets Maddy, the adorable eleven year-old who lives at the big house on the ranch. Abigail ends up agreeing to be Maddy's summer nanny, which brings her into closer proximity to the very handsome Wade Ryan, Maddy's dad. But Wade's hiding secrets in his past that will have ramifications for any relationship Abigail might be interested in pursuing.

Fluffy Christian romance of which I enjoyed every second. I'm finding Denise Hunter to be a very reliable Christian romance author to pick up when I'm in the mood. ( )

This was an enjoyable story with a very good romance that leaves you feeling good after reading it and looking forward to reading more in this series. Abigail Jones is being sent to "middle-of-nowhere Montana" to look in on her Aunt Lucy and to take some time off her job for the summer. The slow pace of Montana will encourage Abigail to slow down and enjoy life a little and get a little closer to God.

What Abigail wasn't anticipating was growing fond of the handsome widowed cowboy who owns the ranch where her Aunt lives. Wade Ryan has moved to Montana with his young daughter after the death of his wife. When Wade loses his nanny for the summer, Abigail decides to lend him and hand and watch over Maddy, a very likable little girl.

What was fun about this story is that neither Wade nor Abigail was looking for love, but even though they both fight their feelings, love will win out in the end. Even despite secrets they both seem to be hiding from each other. I found myself cheering them on and smiling quite a bit over some of the conversations these two people had with each other. I always enjoy Denise Hunter's style of writing. If you like a good cowboy romance, then you are going to fall in love with this story. ( )
