This is a light and fun read, something to warm your insides and make you appreciate the way love grows on people. Ian's not expecting to fall in love with Katie but when it happens, they both have to come to terms with a lot of things and it doesn't help that a sweet kid is involved.
Thanks Netgalley for the eARC.

A short but enjoyable read.

Will Ian let her in?

Cute, quick, sexy read. The rugged cowboy takes on a nanny for his sweet son as a favor and life and love follow. Another great story from Leslie North!

Yet another fun read from this author, a pick me up book that makes you happy, is an easy read for an afternoon you won’t put down. Enjoyable and entertaining

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

Overall, another great story by a great author. I liked this one, as it is a quick easy read. Katie is a tv chef, who was mixed up in a scandal, so she comes to Texas to hide out and reboot, and is given a job with Ian, a widower with a young son who has special eating issues. Naturally sparks fly, and the attraction is strong. Andy, the little boy is darling, and really adds to the story too. Only a couple of minor issues. First off, didn't see why the four women surrounded her and then interrogated her after she dropped Andy off at school. And what is with the one glaring at her? Never seen again, so didn't see the point. Also, the blow up at the end, that leads to the make up and HEA seemed a little slow. Ian has a temper that seemed out of place. Other than these minor issues, I highly recommend this book and author.

A wonderful start to this new series by Leslie North. Relatable well delivered characters and a delightful story I recommend you add this one to your collection.

Ian is a widower raising his little boy after the death of his wife. Katie is reeling after her professional life imploded due to bad decisions she made on impulse. Ian promised to sign Andy up for the Strawberry Festival but missed the deadline because Andy was in the hospital. The Mayor puts Andy in the last slot of the Strawberry Festival but with the condition that Ian hire his niece as a nanny while she is figuring out her career direction. Ian is expecting a teen and is blown away by Katie in her 4 inch heels and tight black dress. What really wins Ian over is Katie's devotion to Andy and to making food free of Andy's allergens that he enjoyed. Katie discovers great satisfaction in helping Ian with Andy and creating delicious healthy food for them. Affection develops between Ian and Katie but when Katie starts having professional success again without telling Ian of her new efforts on social media, he sends her away. They get to their HEA but it requires personal growth from each of them.

The Cowboy's Surprise Nanny, made me smile and sigh while reading it. The love and dedication that Ian has for his son comes through. I really loved this book.

Ian and Katie's story was short and sweet. I liked that they both had another chance to make things work individually. Andy was a cute addition, but not a main character. I felt like I was missing something throughout the story, most likely because it was so short and didn't go into a a lot of detail.

A cute, quick read featuring a sexy, single widower and his fiesty new nanny, The Cowboy’s Surprise Nanny flies by. The story follows Ian, a cowboy with a young son who finds himself agreeing to take on a nanny in exchange for a favor. He’s been grieving his wife and seeking solitude of late, so he is hesitant to welcome an unknown woman into his home. When he meets Katie, he is immediately drawn to her beauty and fiesty personality, and Ian also loves how she interacts with his son. The more time they spend to together, the stronger the attraction between them grows until they give in to their urges.

I enjoyed the story but not to the extent that I’ve enjoyed some of Leslie North’s other books, where it felt like there was more depth to the relationships. Her books are typically short, so there isn’t a ton of relationship-building, but this book seemed rushed. The romantic relationship took a backseat to the family dynamics, and that made it so the chemistry was lacking. The timeline was also pretty vague so I didn’t get a real sense of how long Katie and Ian were together as the story went on. Thank you, NetGalley, for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I have enjoyed reading Leslie North’s books - they’re usually fun, quick reads that are easily read in a day.
