The Rancher’s Temporary Nanny Laura Lee has longed for a child of her own—but she never expected one would suddenly appear on the school steps. With a note begging her to raise the baby girl, the teacher must find a new home since there’s a rule against children in the boardinghouse. Her only option is becoming a temporary live-in nanny for a rancher. Widowed single father Clint Shepard needs a nanny for his daughter immediately—even if hiring Laura means he’ll have to find someone else in a few months when school starts up. But after spending time with her and the little girl she’s raising, he starts falling for them, and wishing their arrangement could be permanent.

Though I began by being interested in the MC, Laura Lee, I soon had major issues with the plot and the historical details. I had a hard time believing a farmer prosperous enough to hire all his help would at the same time be unable to add on another small bedroom to his house over the summer at some point. I found the situation of women wearing his trousers to be odd and unlikely, as too-large trousers would surely have been less modest than one's own dress for horseback, and definitely would be scandalous in town (most especially as a single woman living in a single man's house and borrowing his attire).
Then the juvenile hemming and hawing about whether or not to commit to each other and the modern attitudes toward customs, as well as the modern phrases that occasionally slipped in, was enough to deprive me of a “time-travel” experience and to drop my rating.
