Rating: 4 out of 5

Laurent Fletcher is having a hard time with his young kids. As a widower who misses his wife and still carries (unnecessary) guilt from her death two years ago, he knows things can't continue on the way they have. Enter the British nanny, Emma Peabody, hired by his father to help with the kids. Laurent isn't very happy initially especially considering his unwanted attraction to Emma.This story gave me warm fuzzies. Seeing the way Evie missed her mom and how Jerome was missing a mother period broke my heart. I loved how compassionate and considerate Emma was towards both Laurent and the kids. It was also great to see Ren and Tully, Robert and Pascale, and a visit to Sage's chocolate shop.The novella moved at a smooth, but rapid pace. The characters are very well developed and will pull your heart strings. Joanne Walsh has done justice to this story and I look forward to reading more of her Montana Born stories.
