A review by daniireads
Diamonds in the Rough by Jodi Payne, B.A. Tortuga
3.5
- single 'dad' (uncle) + nanny
- cowboy
- opposites attract
After an accident takes the life of his estranged older brother and his wife, Bastian finds himself the guardian of his three niblings. Way in over his head, Bastian isn't sure how he's supposed to balance work and parenthood, especially with his niece who seems to hate his guts.
In swoops Asher, the live in nanny hired by his mother, who wrangles the children and Bastian with ease. As the pair grow closer and navigate the children's grief and all the hiccups that come along the way, Bastian and Ash find themselves falling for each other.
I'll be quite honest, I was more invested in the family as a whole than Bastian and Ash's romance. I didn't really feel a romantic connection between them, and felt like their relationship, once started, went from 0 to 100 reeeeaaalll fast. Other than that though, I thought their story was sweet, but definitely cared more about the kids and their new family dynamic than anything else.
