Once Upon a Cowboy

In Once Upon A Cowboy the reader meets Belle and Adam. Adam is a divorcee and a father of three rambunctious children. He loves his children, but struggles with raising them, not that he will admit to it. His mother-in-law, seeing his struggles, hired a nanny without his knowledge. So you can imagine his surprise when a strange young lady showed up at his front door claiming to be the nanny he hired. Belle Langford was content to continue the operation of her grandmother’s bookstore. However, mounting debts made it challenging to maintain. The job offer for a nanny couldn’t have come at a more opportune time. She closed the bookstore and set out for Oregon. Imagine her shock on her arrival to discover that the man she believed to be her employer did not hire her. However, not one to back from a challenge, she struck a deal where she had thirty days to prove she was more than capable of taking care of his children. Once Upon A Cowboy was a short, but sweet and entertaining read. Belle proved to be just the person Adam needed in his life. Initially, she experienced challenges with the kids and their father, but she won them over in the end. Despite its brevity, the story spanned several months and delivered a sweet slow burn romance. I loved the characters, and I enjoyed how the romance developed. Overall, a fun and cute story and perfect for those times when one is looking for a quick read.
