Temporarily Yours Nanny becomes Permanently Yours Wife
A cute love story, which was originally a Hallmark Channel movie, made its mark on my heart with its warmth. I loved the bubbles of happiness that coursed through me, while reading this book, each popping up to bring in my smile. It was that kinda book.
Kristen Ethridge’s words had me falling in love with the main character Poppy who was etched oh so lovingly in trails of enthusiasm and sensitivity. I adored the way she dealt with kids, the ideal nanny/mother. She knew the right words to say to them. Ryan, on the other hand, was completely a workaholic, making his phone apps, who had lost his way and needed a nudge to make time for his family.
I loved the play of contrasts in both the characters yet they had a deep sense of family in them. Kristen’s writing simply made me happy. Opposites attract and in land of Hallmark, the path of love is almost always smooth and sweet. And so was this book.
A completely warm feel good autumnal romance that had me smiling and sighing…
I received an ARC from NetGalley and publisher Hallmark Publishing, and this is my journey into its pages, straight from the heart!!

Kristen Ethridge writes Sweet Escape Romance–stories with hope, heart and happily-ever-after–for Harlequin’s Love Inspired line, Hallmark Publishing, and Laurel Lock Publishing. She’s a Romance Writers of America Golden Heart Award nominee and both an Amazon Christian Fiction and Inspirational Romance #1 Best-Selling Author.
You can find Kristen in her native habitat–a Texas patio–where she’s likely to be savoring the joy of a crispy taco, along with a glass of iced tea and scents from her essential oil diffuser. She’s almost convinced her family that it’s normal to talk to imaginary people, as long it goes in a book.
Poppy’s tried a lot of things. Yoga instruction. Pizza making. So far, none of them have seemed like her thing. Still, she doesn’t have to know where her life is headed to live it with enthusiasm.
Ever since his wife’s death, Ryan’s thrown himself into his work. Launching a successful new app will secure his children’s future…even if it means he can’t spend much time with them now.
As a short-term nanny for Ryan’s children, Poppy brings some much-needed fun and laughter. She’s never been one to commit, so why is she feeling so attached to these children…and even more, to their dad? Could it be she’s found her place at last?

Ah thissounds cute x
It is a very sweet read… ❤️
Oh I do love a good hallmark movie!!! Wonderful review, Shalini!
I love the warmth .. I have 2 more of such books … ❤️
….. Shalini…. And Hallmark?!? WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN MY ABSENCE?!? 😂😂 I’ve never read this book, but I’ve DEFINITELY seen this movie. It was cute. (by, the way… I don’t know if it’s on yours. But, it’s on Netflix here! 😉)
Really yayyy… Gimme more recommendations…. I want to make use of my Netflix subscription
You should see if you have The IT Crowd!! Defintitely one of my favourite shows!! And The Good Life! 💖💖
Oooooh and movies? Or are these movies?
I’ll have to get back to you on that… There are too many to remember!!! But, the things I mentioned were tv shows. 😊
The only sucky thing is that different countries are allowed different things on their Netflix due to the Countries media restraints (the CRTC sucks here for not letting us have nice things…), so things that I have may not be there and vice-versa.
But, I’ll figure some out and send them along with my fingers crossed!! 🤞
Cool I will cross legs and wait… Hehehe sounds so dirty
Sometimes a Hallmark romance is just what we need.
I agree Colline, I have 2 more of these books for maybe valentine read?
Sounds perfect!
YAY – 5-stars – you broke the curse!

I will have to see if I can watch it. I don’t have Netflix but my brother in law does. 🙂
I wish we had the Hallmark channel. I like feel good movies. Me and the girls did watch many Christmas Netflix ones at least during winter break.
Ooooh I didn’t have Netflix then.. Now I do have I hoe to watch this movie if available
So interesting that this was a movie first? Wonderful review looks absolutely delightful!💕

The reviews you make are really unique and looks straight like a work of literary, adding zing and depth.

Are you in love with your heart?
Am I? Except my heart too playful…dil toh bacha hai ji!
Mera nahi hai.. I am quite a serious person
Thank you so much… I want to see the movie too..
Awww, and I loved your review as much as you loved this book. I have the movie on my PVR at home and hope to watch it when I get home from Florida. I might read the book first though.
Yayyy… The movie is on Netflix so I want to see it soon 😍
This is still available on NetGalley so I requested it. Sometimes you just need a feel good break from more mysterious and serious reading. I like books with kids in them so this should fit the bill.
That’s so sweet… I am watching the same movie on Netflix… It is cute same dialogs as the book
