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.

An all around sweet surprise
The Cowboy’s Surprise Nanny by Leslie North is a lovely romance with sweet heat, tough guy stoicism and resiliency. Katie, Ian and his son Andy, all have a need for emotional recovery and find much needed support and purpose through their developing relationships which empowers their resiliency to move forward.
I really enjoyed this book and it’s characters. All of them were engaging, but Andy and Katie were especially fun to read. Andy is such a cutie! On the serious side, Ian and Katie were also intriguing, their intentions of helping one another, sometimes misplaced, but still with kindness and care.
Overall a very enjoyable romance that provides the reader with a wonderful HEA.

This is a fun, romantic and sweet story. Ian is stubborn, quick to judge, bold and unforgiving. Katie is outgoing, caring, generous and daring. Hired to be Ian’s housekeeper/ nanny because Ian owed her uncle a favor, and Katie was in a bit of trouble, Katie falls in love with his kitchen and immediately starts baking. It turns out that Ian’s son, Andy, happens to love baking too, and starts helping her with the cooking from the first meal. Ian wasn’t happy with what he found out about Katie, but because of Andy, gives her a chance. Things get personal when Katie discovers him showering outside, but go south when Andy has a medical emergency. Pushing her to sell actual product instead of recipes, Katie finally does, and gains some confidence back. But with her confidence, and an offer, she goes back to what Ian considers bad habits. She is carefree light to his dark unhappiness.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Booksprout. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.
I loved that even though Katie came to live with Ian and Andy through a big mistake she made that she was so loving with Andy. I loved that she was so focused on helping Andy and Ian and making them both healthy and happy. I am glad Katie was able to get something that made her happy by the end. The epilogue was very sweet.

I like this, kids have a great sense of the true character of people and the fact that Katie & Andy bonded so quickly is a great sign. I think Katie has a big heart, her predicament can make her stronger, if she will let it. Ian is a little rough around the edges, stubborn, that shower though is…steamy….lol. Both have guilt issues even still to me this is a feel-good romance with a few bumps but mainly full speed ahead, very exciting story. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation from the author.
This is an incredible story. Love the characters and the connection they share. Tons of chemistry and drama in this book. Storyline was well written and full of details.

This was a wonderful small town nanny meets sexy rancher story. The added sweetness of the yummy desserts and the adorable kid just tipped it over the scale for me. I dont think i ever lost a smile, except when Ian was being a doofus. Otherwise, i loved it all.
I would highly recommend.
Happy reading!

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.
