3.5 stars
It's been almost two weeks since I finished a book so it's a great feeling to like a story and set of characters enough to actually see them through their story. Other friends seemed to like this book a bit more than I did and my slump could absolutely make the difference here between a three and a four star. This does have single dad/nanny trope, with no real drama over their romance developing, and some age gap (I think it was about 8 years).
This was a wholesome feeling, sweet read with low internal angst and genuinely likable characters (main and side). The H is a rancher that doesn't get as much time with his kids because he's so busy, making him a bit of a grump. The h is newer to this small Montana town since she came for a vacation and decided to stay. She works in a coffee shop, but gets the opportunity to be a nanny for the H's kids since she wants a second job and is close friends with the H's sister. The romance is cute and very easy, which I liked, but also nothing stood out for me. It read a little generic imo, even though there was good banter and chemistry and nice incorporation of steam too. There's also a small suspense side plot that becomes a focus later in the book that I felt kind of meh about. The H is great though, the h was a sweetheart, and the kids were adorable.
Written in first person, dual POV. No ow drama, small amount of om drama regarding a former stalker of the h's, and neither were virgins (not much history given at all). H was married before and the prologue is him losing his wife to childbirth. They were married though because she got pregnant and were more friends than anything else so this isn't a book where the H is a widower still mourning the loss of his first wife.
I really liked both sets of families and that both the H and h had strong family connections and support. I think that this is a second generation series in terms of the h's parents having a prior book by this author, but she was a new to me character. It did mean that some of the fleshing out of her background came a little later in the book for my taste, but it does eventually come about. Although I didn't fully understand some of the h's motivations still. The H was more clear-cut for me. I also appreciated all the scenes of them actually on the ranch and appreciating the wildlife and beauty of Montana.
The ending is sweet (the H offers some great swooniness, including their last scene) and HFN, but clearly they're devoted to each other and planning on building a new life together, we just don't get a peek into their future. I think they'll be side characters as the rest of the H's family finds their HEAs though.
