This book is part of a miniseries called Rocky Mountain Heirs, and it involves a group of five or six cousins who are bound by a will to live in the small mining town of Clayton, Colorado, for one year’s time in order to receive $250,000 and 500 acres of Colorado land. It’s a strange plot device, but it works, as we see the different cousins in each book react to their situation. Brooke Clayton, 23, the heroine of this book, is back from college in Denver and looking for work following a failed engagement. She finds widower Gabe Wesson, 33, who is the owner of a silver mine and who needs a nanny for his 4-year-old son. The author deals with the couple’s 10-year age difference nicely, with Gabe having a lot of doubts about dating Brooke and Brooke having to defend herself from her white trash Clayton cousins who accuse her of sleeping with her boss. The Clayton family is basically the Colorado equivalent of the Hatfields and the McCoys and generally it’s one side of the family that causes all the trouble because if all the cousins don’t come back and stay for one year, the fortune goes to the other side of the family. I’ve really enjoyed reading about this group of relatives. This is the first book in the series; the second (The Sheriff’s Runaway Bride) takes a look at Kylie Jones, who is a minor character in this book. There are a lot of twists and turns in the story, and the reader sees the characters grow and heal. Recommended for romantic suspense fans. Interesting kickoff to the new Rocky Mountain Heirs continuity series. Intrigued by the six cousins and how they will manage to claim their inheritance. Will Lucas show up? Will Vivienne return from NY? Will the two feuding sides of the Clayton clan ever make up?This story was okay for me. Usually a Goodnight book gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling. This one, not so much although still very enjoyable. Great climax. Loved Brooke and Gabe. Hope we see more of them in books to come. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.
What do You think about The Nanny's Homecoming (2011)?
Brooke Clayton is resistant to take the nanny job offered by Gabe Weston for his son AJ.
