The Nanny's Temporary Triplets

By Noelle Marchand
The Nanny's Temporary Triplets by Noelle Marchand digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

A Family-to-Be 

After fleeing to Little Horn, Texas, when she discovered her fiancé was a con man, Caroline Murray agrees to act as the temporary nanny for her brother's handsome neighbor. Though caring for David McKay's daughter and the orphaned infant triplets he's fostering is just a charitable gesture, she's falling for the children and David. But if there's one lesson Caroline won't forget, it's that her feelings can't be trusted. 

With children to care for and a ranch to run, David definitely needs help—though he doesn't want a new wife. But his affection for Caroline runs deeper than mere appreciation of her skills as a nanny. She was only supposed to be a temporary solution, but will Caroline find a permanent place in David's heart?

The Nanny's Temporary Triplets Reviews

3.5
“I can’t quite decide if this is a 4.5 star book or a full five stars.... I’m kind of torn. I was hooked from the moment I began reading the first sentence. I’ve read one other book by Noelle Marchand and she is quickly becoming a favourite of mine. The way she writes makes you feel that your watching a movie play out right in front of you. This book was so action packed, I couldn’t help but read on until I found that I was at the end. While I LOVED the characters, the writing, and storyline.... I am just not sure how I felt about the ending... Not quite sure what exactly I didn’t like about it, maybe felt a little too pulled together. A lot happened in the last 10 pages and for me things just wrapped up a little too quickly. Not sure, perhaps the more I think on it, the more I’ll be able to figure out why it wasn’t quite a five star read for me. Although this is part of a series, it read like a standalone.”
“3.75 stars After Caroline’s wedding is interrupted – by the angry wife of her husband-to-be – Caroline flees Austin for Little Horn, Texas. Her brother has offered to take her in, for however long she wants to stay. Thinking that it will be a relief to escape the gossip after her disaster of a wedding, Caroline travels to the small ranching community, not expecting to fit in as well and as quickly as she does. Learning that neighbor David McKay is struggling to take care of his young daughter, as well as the triplets found abandoned at the county fair, Caroline offers to help. David is reluctant to hire the pretty Caroline, but his mother is having a hard time keeping up with the kids, so he offers her a nanny position. Caroline knows that her job is a temporary one, because she has to go back home, but she slowly falls for the McKay clan. This is a nice, sweet read. Caroline and David have been burned before, and they aren’t looking for further heartache. David’s wife died while running off with her lover, and Caroline fell for a criminal who would have married her, stolen her sizable fortune, and left her ruined. David wants only to provide a stable, loving home for his daughter, and Caroline just wants to keep busy and forget about her embarrassment in Austin. Caroline’s parents are both gifted musicians, and they were so focused on their careers that they didn’t have any time or energy to devote to Caroline or her brother. One of the reasons she fell so hard for Nico was because of the constant attention he gave to her. He hung on her every word and made her feel important. It didn’t hurt that he was also a gifted musician, and since Caroline’s life revolved around music, Nico seemed like a perfect fit. If only he wasn’t already married and pulling a scam over on her. The courtship between David and Caroline begins slowly and somewhat reluctantly. They are both afraid to trust their feelings. I found their reservations believable. Caroline wanted to go back to Austin, so she is even more hesitant to get involved with David, knowing that she’s only there temporarily. David has vowed to never fall in love again, though he does want to give his daughter Maggie her biggest wish: a mother. Both characters battle with themselves, as well as the harsh environment. Drought is threatening the cattle herds and the crops, and when disaster is only moments away, everyone must pitch in to ensure the survival of the ranch and the community. I was disappointed that both characters couldn’t see the happiness that was right in front of them, and instead had to draw out the HEA. Caroline, after her parents’ meddling, is offered a part in an operetta back in Austin, and David, thinking that Caroline is lost to him, writes to a woman interested in being a mail-order bride. I could read the handwriting on the wall, and I thought that the ensuing miscommunication was more irritating than suspenseful. Overall, The Nanny’s Temporary Triplets is a heartwarming read. It’s also a fast read, so it’s perfect for a lazy summer afternoon. I was convinced that the HEA would stick, and that the McKay clan would find the happiness that they had been searching for. Grade: 3.75 stars”
