Ian Grant isn’t a man who accepts help easily. After promising his young son that he could participate in the strawberry festival, and then missing the admittance deadline, Ian’s in a bind and forced to ask the mayor for a favor. The mayor agrees, on one condition: his niece has run into hard times and needs a safe place to stay: Ian’s place to stay. She’s great with kids and Ian needs someone to … needs someone to look after his rambunctious son Andy while he ranches. Ian agrees, expecting some college-aged girl who’d flunked Algebra. Instead, he finds a full-grown woman—a beautiful and sassy one to boot.
Katie Rylie has always dreamed of helping others by teaching them to cook. Her online persona was thriving—until a scandal with her forthcoming cookbook rocked her career. Not only did she have to pay back the entire advance, but her once-loyal fan base has turned against her. Defeated and with nowhere to go, Katie feels it’s better to hide out in the country until she can get her life back together. The offer of a free home, an open range, and a wily six-year-old to focus on sounds like just the escape she needs.
When Andy’s diet restrictions force Katie to become creative in the kitchen, she finds herself drawn back into the food world, just as she’s falling in love with Ian and Andy. But Ian, who likes having control of everything, doesn’t know how to ask Katie to become a permanent part of their lives.
If their love is ever going to work, Ian and Katie will need to learn that having it all doesn’t mean giving anything up.

I am voluntarily writing this review for this book I received through Booksprouts arc.
Ian forgot to get his son into the Strawberry Fest as his son had been in the hospital. He asked his friend the mayor to see if he could find a spot and all they had was cooking. The mayor then asked Ian if he could take in his niece for awhile. Katie could help with taking care of Ian and she cooks. Katie and Andy had been getting closer and she was seeing that Ian needed to interact more with his son. Katie was teaching Andy how to cook the food he could eat which he loved he always wanted to cook. Ian found out Katie’s secret but he wanted to hear it from her. She sees the girls she saw the other day and they were very nosy about her
relationship with Ian. Andy and Katie would work on things together she gleaned some information that could help Ian and Andy. There definitely had electricity between them especially since the outdoor shower. Ian gets a call that Andy was rushed to the hospital he ate something that he was allergic. Ian rushes to Andy and Katie went with him. Ian was so freaked he asked everyone to leave and he wanted Katie gone. Katie decided to leave Ian and Andy and go to work with her friends as a baker. The one thing that did happen was Katie going to the cooking contest to see Andy. Twists,Turns and misunderstanding makes this a good read.

Katie and the little boy bond over cooking while Katie wonders what it would be like to bond with Ian.
The Cowboy’s Surprise Nanny is a cute story about a man trying to get on with his life when a spunky woman enters his life and turns it upside down. There is nothing spectacular about this story but it was a fun read. I received an ARC from Book sprout for an honest review.
This is a great story that I enjoyed a lot!
The storyline is awesome and intriguing. The characters are all wonderful and loving.

He did not have a clue about what his son needed until he lost his wife. It was not until his son was sick that he finally got help. He was pleasantly surprised that she wanted to be around his son and him. They helped each other out of dark places. Grew to like and depend each other during her stay. He encouraged her to cook for herself, which she did but at what cost? He had the right idea just did not plan it right. They had to work through some things before taking the next step towards happiness. Overall, a enjoyable read.
