ABOUT THE BOOK

Nannying two adorable kids was a way to support myself until I got on my feet again. I wasn’t supposed to fall for their stern single dad. 


After a sudden, bad breakup, I land in a small town in the middle of nowhere, cut off from all my accounts and resources. I have a stalled dancing career, a mom in long-term care, and no money.

Then I meet Alcott “Cody” Knight. The type of guy I’ve learned to steer clear of—driven, rigid, and devastating in a suit. Only he also has two adorable kids, and he needs a nanny for the summer.

For two months, he’ll pay more than I need to help my mom and myself. For two months, I’ll take care of his kids, give them dance lessons, and see what a normal life could be like. For two months, I have to try not to fall for a guy who’s hotter in jeans and cowboy boots than a suit and treats me like I matter.

When my time is up, I’ll have to go. I might be used to leaving, only this time when I go, I wish I could be more than a temporary memory to the only man I could see forever with.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Meet Marie Johnston

Marie Johnston is a RITA® Finalist, and a best-selling and award-winning writer of paranormal and contemporary romance – and an avid reader of them both.

Several years ago, when kids started outnumbering adults in the house, Marie Johnston left her job as a public health microbiologist to stay at home. Settling into working part-time and shuttling kids around gave Marie the opportunity to think about what she wanted to be when she grew up. A die-hard science geek, she explored her previously thought to be non-existent creative side after much time spent making snowman crafts and coloring princesses. Having entertained thoughts of writing a book one day then subsequently deciding it would be too hard, she finally put the figurative pen to paper and began to type – and fell in love with story telling.

 

The Sigma Menace is the first series by Marie with Fever Claim being her first book EVER.  She is humbled by the fact that people are willing to read to her books and looks forward to keeping readers entertained for many years.

 

Marie lives with her husband and four kids in North Dakota where the summers are gorgeous, the winters are brutal, and spring and fall are luxuries.

I received a complimentary early release e-book prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is the second book in a new series by the author called Oil Knights. It's an offshoot of the authors Barron Oil series and stars Cody Knight and a new character to the series, Tova.

The Knight family consists of daddy Barns Knight and his kids:

- Cody is the oldest and is a widower with two young kids, Ivy and Grayson. He is the CEO and runs the family oil business. This is his story. 

- Austen is away in the military

- Eliot who is single and runs the ranch with their Dad is ranch manager of the Knight’s Arabians and Cattle Company,

- Wilder, is a police officer who is divorced.

- Auggie who is married to Ansen and is close with Cody and his kids. The first book in the series featured her and Ansen. 

Tova is a woman who is 33 but who has pretty much nothing to her name. The story opens up with the why. She makes a fast exit and ends up with no money and staying on the coach with a close family friend of her now deceased grandmother.

Cody is 40, a widower of about 9 months. He has two kids, who are bored and trying to get his attention. His wife died of a brain tumor, and he is spending time in the small town where his sister Auggie lives but in the fall plans to send his kids to live with their grandparents. He is very busy with work so he needs a nanny asap.

Enter Tova who has bills to pay and no income. She agrees to be the nanny and from there the book takes off. Tova is an amazing character. She is a dancer, loves kids, and has a very kind and understanding heart while at the same time being a strong character and has a fighting spirit. Things get in her way, and she just jumps over them. 

She doesn't just inspire Cody and his kids but also the whole small town and she breathes life into Cody and his two kids. I loved her so much and she is why I adored this book. Cody is very sad at the start of the book, but she lights a fire in him that I loved watching happen. 

The kids, Ivy and Grayson are just as wonderful. They have had a tough life thus far, but they still can see the beauty in life, and they fall for Tova pretty instantly. She helps them get confidence and grow and recover and it was beautiful to see.

This was just such an awesome book, and I loved it so much. It was a story about life and growing and seeing the beauty in it. Living each day and appreciating the blessings in our lives. It was a story I could not put down and I cannot wait for Wilder and Suttons story next.
