Book Description

Series: Desire, 1298 | Publication Date: June 15, 2000

Livestock? John MacLaren had all the answers. But little girls? On that subject he was clueless. What did an orphan know about creating a home, especially for a delicate child like Lissy? He needed help. And help came...in the most unexpected, most unforgettable form. Eve Chandler. Years before, he'd wanted her with a vengeance, but 'Princess' hadn't seemed to think him worthy. Now the tables had turned, and she was working for him. Yet Eve was so much more than a nanny. With her encouragement, Lissy was blossoming...and John's icy reserve was melting. But once Eve recovered her lost riches, would John's warm, willing lover remain by his side?

4.0 out of 5 stars Caroline Cross does it again, July 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Rancher And The Nanny (Desire, 1298) (Paperback)

This is the story of Eve Chandler and John MacLaren. Eve was from a rich and prominent family, but is now homeless because her grandfather made some poor business decisions and she had to sell the family ranch to pay off debts. John has recently learned that he has a daughter, but has no experience raising a young girl and eventually decides that he needs a nanny/housekeeper/cook. Eve begins to work for John and she begins to draw Lissy, John's daughter, out of her shell. Eve and John become attracted to each other, but John is convinced that he doesn't know about love and caring for someone since he was raised in an orphanage. Eve's efforts to prove otherwise prove futile.

The ending was a bit quick so I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, but a pleasant book to read. Caroline Cross never disappoints.

This review is from: Rancher And The Nanny (Desire, 1298) (Paperback)

John MacLaren and Eve Chandler had a bit of a past history --
What did he know about creating a home for a delicate child like Lissy?

Eve was selling her grandfather's ranch - she needed the money -- yet she was dressed fit to kill. MacLaren could not believe that she needed a job. As a housekeeper and nanny?? It didn't make sense.

But Eve found a way to help Lissy blossom and to melt John's icy reserve. Did she become John's warm, willing lover and what would happen if she recovered her lost riches??

Would Lissy and John become the losers all the way around?

A rich girl becomes poor and ends up working for someone that once worked for her family. The relationship between the two, could have stayed tense. Instead, Ms. Cross works on the growth of both characters. I also loved the little girl. That's not commonplace for me, in books. I look for Caroline Cross' name when buying books.
