Heiress Corals Three Ranchers

Natalya Romanov was in an arranged marriage to Zach Mikhailov, a harsh arms dealer. Natalya’s younger brother was only recently the new head of the Romanov family, a family perhaps at one time similar to the one she was marrying in to. It didn’t matter though, it wasn’t up to the women of the family to think, just to marry as they were told. That was until Natalya discovered her soon to be husband in the arms of her two-faced cousin.

Still wearing her wedding dress, Natalya climbs out the window and into the back of a truck that carries her to a new life where she will become Natalie as a nanny for a pair of twins.

Natalie is also a companion for three lonely brothers, all retired Navy Seals, two of them twins. Having never had any freedom in her life, Natalie is surprised at how different it feels to meet with men on her own terms. She never wanted any of the men she was introduced to before, especially her fiancé, but Tanner, Adrian and Cole are different and she finds them attractive. It goes without saying that three guys almost twice Nat’s age are going to be attracted to her.

This is a fun and witty story with two children that have had a difficult life and are more than happy to run off all the nanny’s that come their way. Natalie is a little more patient, and is charmed by the kids and life on the farm.

The relationships between Natalie and the guys involves some suspicion at first, and the heats up fast. This was actually very romantic considering this is rh relationship, and there was always consent first and mutual attraction. There’s never a dull moment for anyone on this farm.

Bored.

WHERE.ARE.THE.CHILDREN???

Book makes no sense. They hire her as a nanny, but she's never with the kids. She's had three whole encounters with them at this point. All four adults leave the house to go to some spot on the ranch in the middle of the night and leave the kids home alone??? WTF?!?!?!?!?!

The scene that really put me off?

"Don't get too close to the edge."

"I'll be fine."

Next minute.

"Help! I'm slipping!"

Fucking dumb ass. Fall. You deserve it.

This was fine until the third act breakup. The way these guys turned on her was unexpected! I wouldn't have forgiven them at all. Before that happened, it was just mindless smut. And I mean mindless. For her to be a nanny, them kids were an afterthought.

Another good reverse harem

Ok I have found another author that I love. I have always liked reading romance books but now I love reading reverse harem books. With this book I loved the the drama and how Natalie was able to get the twins to open up to her. I even love that they had happy ending with her brother and mother coming back before the babies were born.

I can't offer a non biased comment on this one because of the political climate and my views. I was put off as soon as I read where the heroine is from.

[Lisa · Rating 2 out of 5]

I like reverse harem romances but this one left me cold. None of the heroes really seemed to care about the heroine so I didn't believe they were willing to enter into a poly relationship together. And the heroine put the whole family in mortal peril by being a selfish idiot and never expressed any regret for it. Yeah, that’s a relationship that’ll stand the test of time…


Natalya, is some kind of Russian mafia princess but her mobster daddy recently died. And as a result Nat is being married off to Zach, the scion of the other most powerful Russian mafia family. Why is this happening, who arranged it and what is Zach getting out of it? No one ever tells us. It was all very weird because we're told this is definitely an arranged marriage, but then at the beginning Nat seems to believe that Zach is actually in love with her? I was confused.

Nat is at the church and having a bad case of jitters when she stumbles across Zach in a passionate embrace with her maid of honor. Zach says that he's only putting on an act with Nat and as soon as he "gets what he needs from her" then he and the MoH can be together. What does he need from Nat? We’re never told.

Nat runs off without Zach and the MoH seeing her and stumbles into a dusty attic in the church. No sooner has Nat locked herself in than there's a knock at the door. It's one of our heroes, Adrian. He just HAPPENS to be there...delivering wood...to a church...that's 6 hours away and in a different state from where he lives...on the day they're hosting a top-secret mobster wedding...and he's being given free rein to walk around the church unescorted despite there being dozens of Zach's mobster bodyguards swarming all over the place to protect them from their enemies. Sure. I totally believe this.

Adrian wants to get into the room to "complete his work" whatever that is, but Nat refuses to unlock the door so Adrian just leaves. I guess his "work" wasn't all that important after all. Nat decides that she needs to escape so she climbs out the window and NONE of the dozens of bodyguards see her doing this. At the last second her brother does see her, but he lets her go without raising the alarm. Nat hides in a pickup truck which almost immediately drives off, without these mobster guards paying it any attention at all.

Six hours later, the truck has stopped at a ranch that belongs to Adrian, his twin brother, Cole, and their other brother, Tanner. Also there are twin kids, Helena and Jaden. Nat sneaks into the barn and falls asleep. Next thing we know, Nat is getting drenched with a of bucket water by the twins, who then immediately run off. Tanner comes in and is NOT happy to see her. He tells her she’s trespassing and he’s going to call the sheriff on her. He’s a royal dick, honestly. I mean, he finds a soaking wet woman in his barn in a wedding dress and his first thought is to have her arrested? Not to ask her if she’s okay or in some kind of trouble? Some hero he is.

Tanner drags her into the house and tells “the sheriff” about Nat. The sheriff is apparently Cole, but this part of the book completely baffled me. He’s referred to as the sheriff all throughout the book but Cole literally never goes into the office or performs any type of sheriff duties. And at one point he says it’s just a nickname? He’s also drunk or high pretty much the whole book, because he’s got a bum leg thanks to his combat duty. So that was confusing.

Cole, sheriff or not, doesn’t give a shit about Nat and what circumstances might have driven her to hide in the truck to get there. He agrees with Tanner that she doesn’t belong there and tells Adrian to take her back wherever he picked her up. Adrian is the most sympathetic of the brothers and feels sorry for Nat. However, he also can see that she’s desperate to stay with them, which is suspicious.

Nat is an idiot so she doesn’t come up with a cover story that might make it believable for her to be this scared of going back. So she just tells the brothers that she needs time to think, away from all that drama. They aren’t moved and even Adrian agrees that she’s trouble they don’t need and he tells her to get in the truck so he can drive her to the bus station. Nat gives up and agrees, but in the truck she sees fliers saying that they need a nanny for the twins. Nat snatches at this idea and says she’ll be the nanny. Adrian accepts, even though that’s insane. If he and his brothers thought she was bad news then how is it a good idea to put her in charge of their kids?

Back inside, Tanner and Cole reluctantly agree to let her stay. They say they can only pay her $500 per week plus room and board. She immediately agrees, which just makes Tanner more suspicious because it’s not a lot of money. But, I mean, he already knew she was desperate to stay at their ranch so this isn’t new information to him? But then, even though he’s supposedly SO suspicious of her, he still lets her take the job and watch his kids! Madness!

They show Nat to her own room and she starts stripping out of her wet dress. When she’s half-undressed Cole just barges in and leers at her. She calls him a creep and he’s insufferably rude to her, boasting about how he gets AROUND and she doesn’t have anything he hasn’t seen a thousand times before. She tells him to get out and he does, but then we’re told that she found his boasting dickishness arousing? Yeah, sorry, not buying that. This scene made me hate Cole and the author doesn’t do anything to replace that image in my mind before she has him and Nat getting down and dirty together so I just found that gross.

Next morning, Tanner is still glaring at her over breakfast and Cole is already drunk. Tanner grabs her by the arm and drags her out to the barn and tells her she’s expected to help milk the cows every morning, by hand. They end up with the milk spilled all over them and share a slightly heated embrace where Nat is sure Tanner is attracted to her, but then he just glares at her and says again that she doesn’t belong there. Nat sticks close to Adrian since he’s the only brother who is being nice to her, and she can tell he’s interested in her. She also finds him very attractive and tells us in her inner monologue that she’s a virgin so she can’t believe how much her body reacts to him.

Nat calls her brother, who tells her to stay away because he’s afraid Zach will kill her. They end the call and Nat turns around to find Tanner watching her. She was speaking Russian so he doesn’t know what she said, but he’s very suspicious of her. That night, Nat has a raging wet dream about Tanner because apparently all that glaring really gets her motor running?

We fast forward through a couple of days and it doesn’t sound like Nat was doing ANYTHING with the kids during that time. I mean, over breakfast on the third day she notices that the kids are really dirty and wonders when they last bathed. Um, shouldn’t she freaking know? She’s supposed to be the nanny! Making sure the kids bathe is one of HER duties! What the hell has she been doing the last three days?

Then she goes to the farmer’s market with Cole. While there, he continues to be a rude dick to her and brag about his sexual exploits. Then a woman named Martha comes up and is flirting HEAVILY with Cole. She’s also shooting daggers at Nat, not liking her presence around this (apparently) irresistible hunk of man flesh. We later find out that Martha is MARRIED. What a slut! We’re also told that Cole, Mr. I’ve-slept-with-millions-of-women, had NO IDEA Martha was even flirting with him. Yeah, I totally buy that.

Back at the ranch, Adrian and Nat end up alone together in the barn and they just go for it and have sex. And even though she was a virgin, she’s got no hesitation about having sex with a guy she’s known for less than a week. Cole stumbles across them doing the deed and gets highly aroused. When they’re done, he waltzes in and starts fingering Nat. We’re in his POV for this part and he tells us that he keeps waiting for either Nat or Adrian to object, but neither of them does. I kept waiting for that too, since all the things Cole said out loud were rude. He made out like he was trying to prove some kind of point to them both? Cole gets Nat off with his fingers and then that’s it.

Soon after this Nat has a run-in with an untamed horse and Tanner swoops in to save her. This, apparently, prompted a great change in Tanner. He was so worried that he might “lose her” that he’s decided to let go of the fact that he doesn’t trust her. Nat also, apparently, has decided it’s time for their relationship to progress because when Tanner brings a bowl of soup to her room, she strips in front of him and invites him into her bed.

Tanner doesn’t take any convincing and has unprotected sex with her for hours. When they’re on their third round or so, Cole figures out what’s up and goes to get Adrian so they can watch. Eventually they come into the room and Cole reveals that Adrian had sex with Nat yesterday. Tanner just says “show me” which is a bizarre response. Considering how suspicious Tanner has been of her all along, you'd think this would make him think she’s playing them. Adrian starts making out with Nat while Tanner and Cole watch. They all take turns banging her for the rest of the night.

After this fuck-session is done, the men discuss whether they’re really “doing this” meaning, having a poly relationship with Nat. Tanner opts out, saying it was fun for one night but he doesn’t want this to be his life. Adrian and Cole shrug and say it’s his loss, then proceed to keep banging Nat every chance they get for the next few weeks.

Moving on, it’s now time for the kids to go to school. A plot contrivance comes up that requires Nat to take them to school for their orientation instead of the men. She hangs out at a café across the street to wait for them and ends up making fast friends with all the other parents…except Martha. Martha clearly hates Nat for being competition and makes several snarky comments. Afterward, Nat is suddenly so overcome with missing her family that she starts to cry, then picks up the kids. They see her crying and offer support. Nat decides to buy them some school supplies to help cheer them and herself up.

Here we learn that she’s been working for the brothers for 3 weeks and they still haven’t paid her a single cent. What? How does that work? So she uses one of her credit cards to buy these supplies, because she’s an idiot. Why would she put herself on the grid like this if she’s in hiding? Her brother told her that Zach is looking for her! Sure enough, later that night when Nat turns on her phone, she finds a text that says “Now I know where you are, and I’m coming for you.”

To make matters worse, Nat had one-on-one sex with Adrian that night. She wanted to spend more time with each of the brothers, to actually get to know who they are as people. Adrian asks her about buying the school supplies for the kids and she says she had a little savings left over so she used that, no big deal. This makes Adrian suspicious because he thought she was “desperate” for money. Which confused me. When did she ever say she was desperate for money? Nat made it clear from the start that she was desperate to stay at the ranch. If she’d been desperate for money, she would have kicked up a fuss about the fact that they hadn’t paid her in almost a month. So this was just plot contrivance to allow Adrian to suddenly start questioning her motives for being there. But even that doesn’t make sense. He’s known from the very start that she was keeping things from them, so why was her spending $30 on crayons and lunch boxes the thing that made him suddenly wary?

But THEN, this is the moment where Nat gets the text from Zach saying he knows where she is and he’s coming for her. Nat tries to hide this from Adrian, but he still sees it and doesn’t say anything. Not for DAYS. What is happening here? Adrian has proof that someone is threatening Nat but he doesn’t care enough to ask her about it? And doesn’t care that someone apparently knows where she is and is on their way? What about the kids and their safety? And Nat, she actually knows that her mobster ex is on his way to kill her but she doesn’t leave? What the hell, Nat? Don’t you care that you’re endangering all these innocent people?

This just doesn’t make any sense. Not for either of them. And this is part of why I don’t believe the relationship between Nat and the men. None of them actually seem to care about each other. The men aren’t concerned AT ALL about what bad thing in Nat’s past drove her to hide out at their ranch. And even when Adrian has proof the bad thing is coming for her, he still doesn’t do anything about it. And likewise, Nat has no qualms whatsoever about leading Zach to these nice men and their kids. What a bitch!

Days go by and Nat just keeps having sex with everyone. Cole and Adrian have sex with her in the shower and Tanner ends up seeing them and even though he’d said he didn’t want to be part of this relationship, he’s so turned on watching them going at it that he bursts into the shower, fully clothed, and commands Adrian to pull out so he can take over. None of them bother to ask Nat whether she actually wants Tanner to join them or not but she doesn’t voice an objection so I guess she’s fine with it.

Then Nat learns that Jaden is getting picked on at school and of course it turns out to be Martha’s son who’s doing it. Nat booby traps Jaden’s lunch and ends up getting the bully busted, which makes Martha hate Nat even more. During all this, Nat ends up seeing Jaden’s file at the school and gets pissed. She goes home and screams at the men, especially Tanner, for keeping secrets about the kids’ past because she’d been under the impression that Tanner was their father.

Turns out none of the men are. They’re the kids’ uncles. They had a sister who got involved with an abusive deadbeat. When he dumped her she killed herself and the kids found her body. So they’ve been traumatized and don’t trust any adult not to leave them, hence why they’re such a handful and have driven off all the previous nannies. Nat is really pissed at the men for keeping this from her, which is really rich, coming from her, but she gets over that pretty quick. Next thing we know, Adrian catches her in the barn and initiates sex with her. He’s been stand-offish with her since the night he saw the text message, but on this day he says he’s “tired of worrying about whether it’s right or wrong” and just goes for it.

When they’re done, Adrian goes off and Nat calls her brother but Zach answers. He says he knows where she is and he’s coming to kill her. She asks where her brother is and Zach says he and their mother are alive…for now. Then he says some more stuff about how she should have known he wouldn’t just let her embarrass him like that without consequences, and that she’d run off with his property that he wants back. Nat hangs up the phone and then passes out.

Nat wakes up in the hospital and the three men are there and pissed. Apparently Adrian initiated sex in the barn specifically so he could steal her ID while she was “distracted.” And while she was out cold he had a friend in the FBI look her up. So now he knows she’s Russian mafia and that she ran away from a marriage to another mobster. The men are all furious with her for keeping this from them. They tell her she has to leave. Now. She’s not even allowed to say goodbye to the kids. She’s too much of a danger to them when she’s got this mobster gunning for her. None of them are the LEAST bit worried about Nat herself, even though all three claim to be in love with her at this point. They don’t even ask for her side of the story before throwing her out!

They leave the room to go sign her out of the hospital and while they’re gone the nurse comes in and tells Nat she’s pregnant. Nat realizes that she can’t tell the men about this turn of events because they’ll assume she’s using it to manipulate them. So she gets dressed and runs out of the hospital without seeing them again. She’s thinking in her head that she needs to get as far away from this town as possible, and that protecting her baby is now her top priority. Oh NOW she spares a thought for other people’s safety, better late than never, I guess.

The twins spot her running down the street and come out to her. She quickly explains that she’ll have to go away for a while but that she promises to come back. They don’t want her to go, having finally bonded with her. Then Nat spots one of Zach’s goons and realizes there’s a dozen more of them swarming around. They don’t seem to have spotted her yet, so she grabs the kids and heads into a grocery store even though it would have been much smarter to send the kids off in a different direction so Zach didn’t learn she cared about them.

And the timing of all of this is so whack. Zach texted that he knew where she was freaking DAYS ago but didn’t turn up. Now that he’s spoken to her on the phone he’s suddenly there in just a few hours? Why the sudden rush? So many logic fails in this story.

In the grocery store Martha happily points Nat out to the goons. So Nat and the kids are swiftly kidnapped but taken back to the ranch. Zach keeps demanding Nat give him back his ring, and Nat suddenly deduces that he must have spent all his money gambling and he needs the expensive ring to pay off his debts? This was just such a leap and came out of nowhere but, whatever.

Zach sees Nat desperately shielding the kids and begging him to let them go but doesn’t think to threaten the kids in order to force Nat to reveal the ring’s location, which makes him a lame villain. He slaps Nat around a bit but she still refuses to tell him where it is so he sends his goons to search the house. Meanwhile the brothers have realized that Nat is gone and that she’s pregnant. Tanner suspects she did it on purpose to manipulate them but the others don’t think so and are suddenly feeling like maybe they were too hard on her. I'm getting whiplash from these people.

They figure out the bad guys are at their ranch and do some crazy things to create a distraction. Nat gets shot in the side but it’s apparently just a graze and she and the baby are fine. Zach finally grabs one of the kids and uses them as a human shield but Adrian shoots him in the head and he’s dead. The fact that the kids saw all this is hand-waved away as being fine because they’re “tough.” HEA.


So in summary, none of the MCs acted like they cared about each other AT ALL so I don’t believe the HEA at the end, and I didn't like any of the MCs so I didn't feel like they deserved a HEA anyway.

Rancher Daddies is the second book I have read by Liz Archer and I truly enjoyed them both. Liz delivered an original plot, with plenty of action, tons of steamy scenes and made sure to include wonderful characters. This book had my attention throughout the entirety of the story and made it impossible to put it down. I adored Adrian, Cole, Tanner and Natalie these four really had something special together. The men were protective swoon worthy alpha males who knew how to take care of those they loved and cared about even in the face of danger. Natalie was dedicated to taking care of Jaden and Helena the twins she was hired to nanny. Adrian, Cole, Tanner and Natalie shared a very intense chemistry between the four of them making it impossible to keep their hands to themselves. Liz included many supporting characters that I really liked and felt added something special to the story. Sadly, there were a couple of characters without any redeeming qualities whom I most definitely did not like. I enjoy Liz's writing style and I am looking forward to reading more books by her in the future.

Natalie discovers that her fiance Zac is having an affair with Maddy who just so happens to be her cousin. This happens shortly before she is suppose to walk down the isle. But, witnessing their betrayal with her own eyes and hearing what Zac really thinks about her sends Natalie into a tailspin. She makes a break for it and climbs into the back of a truck to escape her doom. Now out in the middle of nowhere on a ranch Natalie must figure out what she is going to do. Once she is discovered the men vote to send her back to where she came from because they can't trust her and have no idea what kind of trouble she could possibly bring their way. They can't risk danger coming to their doorstep when they have the twins to protect. Natalie convinces them to let her stay as their nanny. As they spend more time together it becomes very clear they all share a mutual attraction. Their feelings quickly grow and they now find themselves dreaming of spending forever together. What will happen when the boys discover the truth about Natalie's true identity - the one she has kept hidden from them this whole time? Will they protect Natalie from Zac if he comes looking for her? Did Natalie just throw away her one chance at true happiness and a happily ever after?

I happened to come across Ms Archer by chance when looking for another author I ARC for. I have to say I really enjoyed this novel. Ms Archer had me hooked straight away. The storyline was good, I liked all of the characters and the storyline wasn't rushed, it was paced out nicely. I pretty much read this in one sitting and like it so much I went onto Amazon to download her other work. It's well worth the read and look forward to reading more of her work as it comes online.

Storyline.

Natalya/Natalie is due to marry but something happens on her wedding day and she leaves before the wedding takes place. She hides herself in a back of a truck so she can get away undetected. She falls asleep in the bed of the truck and when she wakes up later that night she discovers that she in the countryside. She finds a barn to shelter in and sleep. She is found the next day by the 3 brothers who own the farm. They want to get rid of her but she doesn't want to go back to NY and offers her services to the 3 brothers as a nanny to the twins. After some discussion the brothers decide to employ her.

Will the 'wild' twins manage to chase her away like all the other nannies? Will her fantasies about the brothers come to fruition? Will her past eventually catch up with her and threaten the life she has now especially when a shock developement comes to light?

Finding Her Freedom Leads To Love

What’s better than 3 silver foxes? Well, it would be 3 COWBOY silver foxes 🤯🥵😍 Our FMC, Natalie, is a bride on the run from a marriage she never truly wanted, and believe me, she feels the same way about her unexpected luck in meeting these guys lol. Oh, and did I mention they’re also former Navy Seals, with all the protective instincts that go along with that title 😳😏 Too bad not all of them are excited about the prospect of helping our runaway bride though. Natalie’s more than up for the challenge though, of being the nanny to their twins, and more importantly, of winning their hearts whether they want her to or not 😉😂 Tanner, Cole, and Adrian all find themselves slowly falling for the younger woman, and before they know it, she’s fully under their skin. Tanner especially fights the pull because of his past, but he’s no match for the fire she shows & genuinely good person that she is. This story starts off with drama, and it doesn’t stop until the very end. You’ll find yourself thoroughly entertained by the action, danger, passion, chemistry, friendship, family, romance, and undeniable love that flows out of this amazing story. Can’t wait for another whychoose romance from this amazing author ❤️

Natalya/Natalie is less than 2 hours away from walking down the aisle when she discovers her fiancé has been cheating on her. Both come from Bratva families, so the church is swarming with security, but Nat is able to escape by hiding in a truck.

That truck stops at a farmhouse far from her life in NYC, and she seeks refuge in a barn on the property. The next day, she gets a rude awakening thanks to a pair of hell-raising twins who alert the ranch owners — ex-SEAL brothers Tanner, Cole and Adrian. They want her gone until she learns they’re looking for a nanny. The twins are holy terrors and no one has lasted more than 2 weeks. They expect to have Natalie out of their hair pretty quickly, but darn if she doesn’t start working her way into the hearts of all the family members.

In the meantime, Natalie’s ex is determined to track her down and make her pay, which would put everyone at the ranch in danger. Once the secret of who Natalie is and what she ran from is out, will the love the brothers have for Natalie be enough to keep them all safe?

In typical Liz Archer style, the book is filled with a lot of very hot individual and group sex scenes, some suspense, a touch of drama and a very happy ever after.

This is the first book I have read from this author. Not sure if they are all written this way or not. The writing seemed like more of an outline of what was to be included in the book as it was very broken. We went from one idea to the next with very little fleshing out of the story to connect everything. Lots of missing information. It wasn't hard to follow, more of just not fully developing the characters or story. The concept was there and interesting, but I almost put it down multiple times due to the writing style and jumping topics so quickly. The way the brothers were when they found to Nat's secret (which didn't make much sense for her to keep in the first place), was a complete 180, to only again switch right back two pages later. Very jumpy, although it did make me chuckle at how bad certain things with the writing were, so there was that.

Not worth a read if you are looking for a story line with good development of characters, but if you need something to fill the time, this was a rather quick read.

They don’t realise how much of an impact she will have in their lives, both romantically and the danger that follows her. They eventually have a happily ever after and their family is reunited once again.

Wanted a quick read - which it was but it just lacked so much. The spicy scenes were just ok. Some editing errors where things didn’t line up. There wasn’t much dialog between the main characters to believe they were in love or in anything. Female lead is a nanny but barely has any interactions with the kids. She’s also a virgin who gives it up to multiple virtual strangers without telling them - it all seemed rushed and not beleivable. No character development. The author tried for some angst like sad military back story or dangerous ex mob finance but those parts were kind of glossed over and made too light to have any impact. Even the third act break up was minimal and lasted 2 seconds. Had potential but lacked so much to be enjoyable. Almost DNF which I NEVER do.

Would I recommend: no
Would I read more by this author: no.

Gosh I really enjoyed this RH by Liz. I’ve only read a few books of hers and by far this one was a favorite. Sexy ex-navy seals turned farmers, oh yes please. Add a twin to the mix and Nat was in heaven. From a Russian family with royalty in their bloodlines a marriage for 22 year old Natalya was her fate. Finding her fiancée cheating with her cousin made the choice and fled her wedding. Jumping into the back of a truck and landing in the middle of nowhere, a barn in sight and sleep called. To Nat’s surprise 3 brothers and a set of twin children became her new life. Being a nanny to stay where she was. Things progress and love forms them into a much needed family.

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.

In this book we meet Natalie, Adrian, Tanner, & Cole. When Natalie not only finds her groom cheating on her on the day of the wedding but also learns what he plans he has for her. So she runs away from her own wedding. What she didn't plan on was where she ended up. Adrian, Tanner, & Cole aren't looking for anyone near their property. So when they find a strange woman they are determined to get her off as quickly as possible. What happens when they all find something they need. Can they find a HEA or will it be a HEA or all of them?

Another amazing story by this author. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

This was a DNF for me…

I had a hard time with several aspects of this book to be honest. There was a lack of smoothness to the flow of the book, like the story wasn’t fully thought out and there were noticeable moments where I questioned how we got somewhere. Overall I felt like there was a lack of description and details except for the spicy scenes that felt like a bunch of grandiose descriptions were thrown in that felt really out of place and like that was a security blanket for to improve the scene.

I couldn’t finish this book, I’ve read poorly written books when the story, characters, spice, or humor were good enough… there was nothing for me to hook into in this book for me personally.

This was definitely a different twist on a mafia story. And I definitely loved it! Natalya is a mafia princess running away from an arranged marriage to guy who’s no good. When she hides out in a pickup, she finds herself at ranch owned by 3 hot ex navy seal brothers!
I really enjoyed this read. It had secrets, lies, suspense, and some very very steamy moments. It also had 2 adorable little children who my heart went out to. I loved how Natalya stood up for Jaden when he was being bullied.
I haven’t read many of Liz’s books, but what I have read I’ve enjoyed and look forward to reading more!

Rancher Daddies was a twist to your average mafia story. Natalya caught her fiancé cheating with her cousin/best friend/MOH on her wedding day. Natalya deciding that she could not go through with the marriage escaped the church and hid in the back of a truck. After a night in a barn and a cold wake up the adventure for her really begins. Adrian, Tanner and Cole are in need of a nanny for their mischievous twins, everyone has secrets but when her ex shows up and she protects the twins they finally start to trust her. This story has lots of drama and steamy parts.

Rancher Daddies is a mix up of a lot of tropes. The men are ex-military while Natalie comes from the mafia. They all meet on a ranch. There are two little kids involved, as Natalie is the nanny. Although there is little time spent on the kids and I'm not quite sure what Natalie is doing with most of her time. Two of the men are twins and the third is their older brother.

This story is a loose framework around a lot of heated scenes. It does have some suspense and some heart. It definitely pulled at the heartstrings when the kids' backstory comes to light. Over all this was an easy read.

[Leisel · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is just one of those 'sweet' stories where by pure luck everything turns out just right and certainly there is nothing wrong with that type of story, simply one of those times the Angels were watching over the right person at the right time. But in this case it was more than one person who will find peace and contentedness, with three hunky ex navy SEALS, their two sisters children and Natalya all finding their own sense of peace. A worthy RH story filled with entertaining characters and a decent plot that will entertain from the start to finish.

It was fine. I read it all but at the same time I read it fast not because i couldn’t put it down but because i kind of wanted it to finish soon. For me, it was lacking in the story, no real discussion, didn’t even really pass time together before having sex. Also, for a nanny, she sure wasn’t with the kids a lot. The kids were so erased till they were needed to make the FC as a heroic figure. the guys were REAL quick to turn on her… like damn did they even love her because they sure didn’t act like it. But still it wasn’t unbearable. i know that with all that i just said it doesn’t seem that way, but it just wasn’t as profound as i wanted. It more of a light mindless read.

It was ok.
There was 2 things that bugged the hell out of me in this book....1) what the hell happened to the soup??? and what the hell happened to the clothes??? 1 minute naked next minute dressed, all in same scene.......2) i want more of an explanation as to where her brother and mum were, not just a "we're here" at the end.
Tanner was my favourite, just love the broody type in these books. I thought Cole hurt his like for Adrian as that is what implied throughout. But when he says the story it is for someone else.
When your a 22 year old virgin, would you have sex with someone who just met??? Well Natalie does.
I eouldnt read this book again

Daddies? Cowboys? Sold. Yeah so I am a sucker for these stories really. I don't make that a secret but the story is really good too and not just all steam and no storyline. That is why I really wanted to read it as I enjoyed a book by this author in the past and let me tell you she still has it. It drew me right in. Runaway bride and she falls asleep in a truck and finds herself in the country. She's found by the owners of the barn the truck was at. She is offering to nanny the twins they have. What will happen next?

[Charlotte · Rating 4 out of 5]

The Mafia world and the cowboy lifestyle collide when Natalya/Natalie is due to marry in a move to tie both Bratva families together. Only for fiancé to show his true colours on their wedding day and that forces her to run away. That has had landing on Adrian, Tanner and Coles ranch and taking up a job as a nanny there. Sticking her right in the middle of 3 hot cowboys as well as all sorts of steamy naughtiness. I loved the dynamic that they had together. It was hot as hell! This was a great read.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. I liked how Natalie escaped what would have been a terrible life. She ends up on Adrian, Tanner and Cole's ranch where she become part of the family and falls in love with the guys with it returned. I like how everyone pulled together to take down her ex. Even better is the windfall that happens and her family coming to see her.

[Rachel Stephens · Rating 4 out of 5]

I thought we got a little of everything in this book. A few of my favorite tropes, such as age gap, mafia, and why choose.
There was drama, steam, suspense and a little humor as well.
I think the author did a great job with the relationships between Natalie/Natalya and the guys. They seem to develope naturally and the spice was so good.
I also loved seeing the relationship between Natalie and the kids.
Overall, I think we got a good balance of plot and steam, with a great ending!

Nanny for the Ranchers

Natalie not only sees her fiancé kiss her cousin but hears him say something that places her in danger. Therefore, she decides to run and finds herself on a ranch with three older men as their nanny. The story gets even more interesting and builds until a resolution to her past can be found. This was a fun read!.

Adrian, Tanner and Cole are former military and own the ranch. Natalie is jilting her fiancé who was caught makin' it wit her cousin. Hmmm. Need a place a hide ? Nannying for twins should be a perfect hiddie hole. Light to heavy conflict. Navy SEALS protect their own so this should be a winner winner chicken dinner. Steamy and fried to go. Right? no cliff.
