Nicole's Book Musings
4.5 Stars This was such a sweet beautiful story. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed it. It's one that just warms the heart. I loved Jon and his little girls. His girls were just too adorable. They were one of my favorite parts of the book. Their love of animals is something special. I also loved Lydia. My heart went out to her having to start over and thrown into an unexpected situation, but she's one heck of a trooper. She's exactly what Jon and his girls need. She brings so much light and happiness, but a surprise for Lydia they do the same for her. Except Lydia is keeping a secret of why she applied for the nanny position. Will it be a deal breaker for Jon? Jon already struggles from the hurt his ex did on him. Can he see past that hurt to grab the chance of a HEA he's always pictured? I would highly recommend this book. I can't wait to read more from this series.

First of all, I love the cover! That alone would draw me into reading this book! The "blurb" also was another draw. It was enough to whet my appetite. I wanted to see what Lydia was running from! I was not disappointed! In the end, her story was tied up a little too easily but it didn't diminish the overall enjoyment of the story for me! I still loved it! The twins were adorable and I especially liked how they were supposed to be "holy terrors" but after Lydia becomes their nanny, no one can believe how well behaved they are! It just shows you how one person can make a difference in the lives of children! Jon Blackwell wants a certain type of nanny and Lydia certainly isn't it! She's too much like his ex-wife and he wants her out of there, as soon as possible, except that everybody loves her, including his twins! I loved the interaction between Jon and Lydia. I wanted to slap Jon upside the head so many times! He wouldn't give Lydia the benefit of the doubt on anything! Fortunately, everyone around him saw that she wasn't like his ex-wife at all and thought she was great! This was just a great book and I loved it! I received a complimentary copy from the author. My review of the book was not required and these opinions are my own!

"The Rancher's Twins" (Return of the Blackwell Brothers Book 1) by Carol Ross is a great read. I loved Jon and Lydia's story, and Abby, Gen, and Trout. This is a great start to this series, full of entertaining characters, family, romance, new beginnings, cowboys, and more. Highly recommend to all fans of romance, cowboys, family, and series. I can't wait to see what happens next with the Blackwell family in "The Rancher's Rescue" by Cari Lynn Webb.
