Cynthia Terelst
Love can heal the scars on your heartLachlanSo what if I’ve gone through four nannies in three short years? I know what’s best for my children and it’s not the nanny my mother and ex-wife have hired.Peyton may be all kinds of beautiful but she is totally unsuitable—city girl, former doctor and no experience.Problem is, everybody loves her. I don’t want to feel the same; one failure at love is enough. Besides, I have a duty to my family and the farm.Except the more I spend time with her, the more I’m drawn to her honesty and bravery. I need to remember, a farm is no place for a woman like Peyton; she will not stay. PeytonAfter an accident put an end to my surgical career, I jumped at the opportunity to be a nanny. Moving to Australia will get me away from my controlling family. It’s time I start making my own decisions.But falling for my boss is not the wisest one I could make, even if it feels right. It doesn’t hurt that his singing makes my panties melt.Everything is perfect—I feel heard and seen for the first time (and I don’t just mean my scars).I’m where I belong…until my family get involved. Then I’m left with no job and no home.Now I need to make the biggest decision of all—stand up to my family, choose my happy and fight for love.**This is a stand alone romance with medium heat**

I’d found something here that I didn’t have back there—acceptance and independence.

This was an awesome read that I absolutely hated to put down. I only did because of life and responsibilities and all that—adulting is hard. But I missed it pretty hard whenever that happened and ended up binging the last 50% or so.
Peyton is a strong female lead that I found highly relatable—and not just because she hails from Boston like myself. She doesn’t come from a supportive family and ends up having little to no support when making big decisions, or really doing anything. She’s fairly self aware and resolves to start standing up for herself. As this is more easily said than done, we really see her grow throughout the book and it’s expertly done. This is possibly some of the best character development I’ve seen in romance.
We see the male lead grow up some as well, and as they grow together, of course there are some growing pains but not necessarily the exact ones you’d expect.
It’s hard to pick a favorite aspect of this read, because there’s just so much to love—but if I had to pick one, it might just be Ben. If you’ve read this far, and read the book, please discuss.
