Cringe worthy beginning.

A friend once mentioned there should be a subgenre of romance that dealt with lawmen. If that's true, there probably should also be one for military. I feel like I've read the basic plot before: widower with young kids hires a nanny and then falls in love with her.
I guessed early on what Sarah's secret was--I wasn't sure if it directly impacted Aaron's family or was just similar circumstances until that part was revealed by the author--or at least until Ash appeared on the scene.
We aren't told why Aaron is a single father of twins at first. From what I read, it seems he was able to take quite a bit of time off or be only part-time after his wife died to be with his twins. (Perhaps I misread that part.) That didn't seem realistic, even for the military.
I'm also not quite sure why Aaron felt a program for veterans/service members would help Macy. She's not a veteran and I'm not sure she's even related to a veteran or a service member.
I liked the characters but the plot felt tired to me.

Psalm 34:8 ~ Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
What a beautiful story of a fallen woman being led to redemption through God's love, represented by this holy strong humble father and strong hero of our great country. She did not cover the sins in a way I thought necessary, which is why it is 4 stars instead of 5, but the town is so fortunate to have these men and their supportive wives around. It makes me want to live in Refuge. May we all live in the Refuge of the Lord!!

Age is not a factor when it comes to love.

I love books about the families of our fighting men and women. What they do is a calling not really an option. This one added in the love of family and cute kids. It also dealt with a subject that for many is hard to deal with driving drunk. How God heals and how we are used in his big plan. Yup another favorite author for me.

Cute little love story. Quick and easy read.

I wanted something simple and quick to read and so I tried this a few times. I'd get a few more paragraphs in and just could not continue. A "creamy glow"? Really? And giggling? Yeah, I know the girl's young and pretty, but who is going to hire someone to nanny their boys when the girl giggles at her job interview? I suspect not a forty year old military man.

Aaron's wife, Donna, was killed by a drunk driver. His twin sons need a nanny. Sarah Graham made really poor choices in her early years. Will those choices change he outcome of her relationship with the twins and their father?

A pleasant series, clean romance, strong men, tough women and their journey with/towards finding faith, in not just each other, but religion too.
