review 1: A friend sent me this book and I am grateful. This is a nice story and the first in the Rocky Mountain Heirs series. Brooke is back in Clayton due to her grandfather passing away. He has a stipulation in his will that affects the 6 cousins. Brooke needs a job but not working with children. She is so sure she can't work with children but finds she is drawn to AJ, Gabe's son. Gabe is a wealthy businessman who lives next door and needs a nanny for his son AJ. We see how the pass can affect us into the future especially when it happens to us as a child. Brooke can't get past something that happens when she was a child and this clouds her thinking into adulthood. There also seems to be someone trying to scare her and trying to make her leave. I enjoyed the story and its left me... more wanting to read the rest in this series. I want to know what will happen. The book although in the series and number one is still a complete story in itself. Good read.
review 2: The Nanny’s Homecoming is the first book in the Rocky Mountain Heirs Miniseries. The story starts out when the grandchildren of Grandpa Clayton come to his funeral. The town is named Clayton after the family. It’s a small run down town which Grandpa Clayton has plans for even after his death. After the funeral, the grandkids come together for the reading of Grandpa’s will. Grandpa Clayton decides to leave each of them a large inheritance. The only catch is all of them must come back to Clayton and live there for one year. If even one of them does not do this, they all lose their inheritance and the money goes to the other side of the Clayton family, which the family has been in a feud with for a long time. This story focuses on Brooke, a grandchild who came back to live in Clayton after the funeral and breaking up with her fiancé. Gabe comes to Clayton to reopen the Lucky Lady mine. He brings with him his small son AJ. Since Clayton is so small there are no daycare centers, so he is looking for a nanny. Gabe meets his new neighbor, Brooke Clayton and even though he thinks she is not very reliable and scatterbrained he seems to connect with her and ask her to be his nanny. Brooke has decided she wants no children and finds every excuse not to take the job, even though she needs the job, is great with kids and seems to make AJ happy. She ends up feeling a connection to Gabe just like he did for her and decides to take the job. Brooke believes she is responsible for her younger sister’s death after Brooke was suppose to be watching her and that has made her want nothing to do with being in charge of kids, and she tries to get over that by taking the job. But when someone starts stalking Brooke to try to get her to leave Clayton and bad things start happing at the mine, AJ is placed in danger and Brooke regrets taking the job. Will she ever get over the loss and guilt from her sister’s death? Will the feelings Brooke and Gabe feel for each other ever amount to anything? You have to read, The Nanny’s Homecoming, to find out.I really enjoyed the story. I enjoyed seeing how much Brooke grows through the story to get over her guilty feelings associated with her sister’s death and I loved the characters. I can’t wait to meet some of the other grandchildren and what happens to them in Clayton. I loved how the author gives us clues in this book for the next book in the miniseries, and that makes me want to read the next book as soon as it comes out.DISCLOSURE: I was provided a free digital version of this book from Harlequin in partnership with NetGalley to review it. I was not required to write a positive review and the opinions I have expressed are my own. less
