About The Book
The Cowboy's Little Secret (Wyoming Ranchers Book 5) by Jill Kemerer
To keep his child’s nanny
He’ll have to let down his guard
The last thing struggling cattle rancher Austin Watkins needs, or wants, is for his son’s nanny to quit. But Cassie Berber longs to follow her dreams. The solution seems simple: prove to Cassie she can have the life she’s always wanted right here in their small town. There’s just one problem—Austin has a secret. And the only way to get Cassie to stay is to tell the truth…
My Review
Jill Kemerer crafted two wonderful characters with similar hang ups in this heart-tugging page-turner. Both Austin and Cassie deal with mistaken impressions. Austin believes he is a failure because he freezes under pressure, while Cassie places too much of her self-worth in the hands of the men in her life. This combination creates communication problems between the two.
Kemerer used the characters’ flaws to highlight how our lack of self-awareness can affect our relationships.
The reason Austin suddenly became the father of a baby had been hinted at a few times throughout the series. The secret is revealed in this last book, and I LOVED it. It revealed so much about his heart.
Kemerer masterfully wove a story where each character’s weaknesses triggered something in the other—finally forcing them to face the truth about themselves. The author seamlessly incorporated faith into the growth of the characters.
I would strongly recommend this book to fans of Christian romance, clean romance, and, of course, cowboy romance. I also recommend the entire Wyoming Ranchers series.
