Fun, quick, romantic read perfect for a Sunday or rainy day. It’s a second chance, friends to lovers story between two people both trying to overcome difficult pasts and trust issues, with two adorable little girls, and a sweet small town setting.

Laney Taylor is devastated after the unexpected deaths of her aunt and uncle. They helped raise her, offering her the stability she desperately needed in dealing with an alcoholic mother. She’s now inherited their property and has the chance to fulfill her dream of owning a rustic wedding venue. The only problem is that it needs lots of remodeling. Then there’s the handsome rancher who leases part of the land, can they find a way to share the property so they both get what they want?

Ethan McCaw is in desperate need of a nanny for his three year old twins. After his father’s serious injury, he has to work even more hours keeping the ranch together. When his little sister’s friend returns to Serenity, Texas, he thinks he may have found the perfect solution. He can help her with some of the renovations on her property if she’ll agree to nanny his children for six weeks. But, even though he’s attracted to Laney, the scars from his ex-wife’s leaving have left him leery of love, then there’s the matter of the property he leases from her. Will they learn to overcome their fears enough to give love a chance?

I liked Laney and Ethan. Laney is sweet, creative, and a hard worker. She definitely had her hands full with those twins. I enjoyed the way she was willing to stand up for herself. Ethan is everything a swoony cowboy should be, tough with a heart of gold. They both had lots of issues to work through. At times, it was frustrating when they were both so cautious and misjudged situations and motivations, but it’s completely understandable given their histories. I enjoyed the way they finally learned to trust, and how Ethan went after what he wanted. The twins were pretty cute if a little mischievous and I enjoyed reading about their antics. I liked the inspirational messages woven throughout and how each of the characters turned to God when they needed guidance.

All in all, an enjoyable read with a sweet, inspirational, happily-ever-after ending. Recommend to Christian fiction and clean romance readers. I received a complimentary copy from the author. All opinions are entirely my own and I was not required to provide a positive review. ( )

The Love Inspired series is my default reads when I am feeling down. Lately I’ve been dealing with some personal struggles, so it was nice to curl up with a heartwarming inspirational read that was the perfect escape.

Laney is back home after inheriting a ranch from her departed aunt and uncle. She has high hopes of turning it into a wedding venue, but what she doesn’t expect is all the work that needs to be done. Ethan, her childhood friend’s older brother, is also in a bind, needing a babysitter for a few weeks for his three-year-old twins, so after some persuading from Ethan the two trade services. Ethan will help with renovations and Laney will babysit Zoe and Tori, Ethan’s adorable twins, and this is where the story really takes off.

This is the first novel I’ve read by Heidi Main and I am loving her writing! This is a character rich story which had me excited for a possible series, but I can’t seem to find any information about one anywhere. I hop this isn't the case, and that the author is able to turn this into a series, as many of these characters need their own stories.

This novel is well written with depth and heart, making the reader feel like they’ve known these characters forever, and truly envelopes you in an immersive experience. I appreciate that the lead characters have dominant personalities, but are also flawed, each dealing with trust issues. They are fleshed out and are incredibly relatable. Zoe and Tori were the cherry on top for me. These two little cherubs are bubbling with personality, and give this novel a special spark.

A Nanny for the Rancher’s Twins has all the feels, from humor to heartache, and everything in between. I devoured this book and relished every moment.

I love coming-back-home stories! The history, memories, and nostalgia that the past holds on us are strong. Such is the case when Laney Taylor returns home after her aunt and uncle’s passing in A Nanny for the Rancher’s Twins. (I also love small town and farm town settings, so I knew this story would be a win-win.)

This is such a sweet and inspirational romance story. Even through her grief, Laney takes many chances to live out her dreams and I admire that. Ethan and his twins are a blend of flaws and allure (wink), and the community of this Texas farm town adds a heaping of charm.

This book drew my attention with having “twins” in the title. I sure wasn’t disappointed in this touching story with a theme of letting go and learning to trust after being hurt. Laney is a strong willed lady that knew she wanted a rustic wedding venue at the ranch she inherited. She did not anticipate issues with the McCaw’s leasing part of the land for their cattle. The story is filled with moments of pure joy and laugh out loud ones with Ethan’s twins girls, town folks including old friend and the interactions between Laney and Ethan. What a delightful story to see how two hurt individuals can set differences aside for the betterment of the small town and their own peace, faith, love, dreams fulfilled, and adventure.

This is the first book I’ve read by Heidi Main and I can truly say I’ll be looking forward to reading new releases she has.

I received an early complimentary copy of this book from the author and publisher without any obligation to write a positive review. I have expressed my own opinion. ( )

This story proves that the barter system can still work! Laney Taylor needs a handyman to help her turn an inherited ranch into a wedding venue and Ethan McCaw needs help caring for his twin toddlers. Tori and Zoe are adorable little girls but they're quite a handful and I found myself laughing out loud at some of their antics! It may be just for six weeks, but will Laney survive what's ahead?

Laney, Ethan, the twins, and Memaw McCaw are fantastic characters, and Serenity, Texas seems the perfect place to live. There's also a powerful reminder that God knows exactly what we need and He's always ready to forgive and redeem. This heartwarming story has broken hearts that need mending, damaged trust that needs to be repaired, and dreams waiting to come true. Do you like sweet and clean romance? Are you looking for a book that just makes you feel good inside? Grab a copy of A Nanny for the Rancher's Twins and let yourself be 'taken away'!
