This novel has a great pace and perfect flow and, though I don’t particularly know much about ranch life or rodeos, I do know about loss and trying to pick up the pieces with two children that rely on you, and I think the author nailed it. Fear keeps us all frozen at times, and this was a good reminder about what can happen when you finally let that fear go and step out in faith. It is obvious that Bryce is trying to move on but seeing another woman where his late wife should be would’ve been jarring for anyone. Carrie is very respectful and kind to Bryce and the kids, especially when Ally or her memory come up. While I was reading, I thought about all of those widowers out there, and my heart goes out to each and every one of you. I cannot even begin to imagine how painful and difficult it is to continue life without your partner.
I loved all the scenes with Bryce and Carrie interacting with the kids. I am a sucker for cute little kids and this novel has two that captured my heart. I love how perfectly Carrie fits in with the Carter family. It’s truly like she was meant to be there. Seeing them interact was like a breath of fresh air.
The only thing that continuously bothered me while I was reading was the characters dialogue and how at times it felt unnatural, especially the children’s dialogue, which often felt too mature for their ages. I understand they had to grow up quickly with losing their mother, but I still feel like the language felt out of place. Other than this, The Cowgirl Nanny was a pleasure to read and truly did help me escape in the best way possible.
