Lights on a frozen waterfall. A cozy fireplace. A nanny carrying a torch for the single-dad.

Captain Beau Cabot can’t keep a nanny. It isn’t that his kids are bad, it’s that the helpers he hires can’t seem to believe him when he says the only needs they should take care of are the children’s. Forced to fire his lustful childcare worker at the worst moment, Beau can’t leave for his weekend military assignment. His aunt suggests finding a wife, but that won’t save this moment.

With just weeks to go until Christmas, Sophie Hawkins gets some terrible news. Her sister has up and abandoned her family—to become a rock star’s groupie. Worse, Beau is rumored to have lost a few nannies. Who will care for the two cutest kids in the world this holiday? Kids whose lives have been upended?

Despite Sophie’s unwise but unstoppable lifelong crush on her ex-brother-in-law, Beau, Sophie races to Sugarplum Falls. She plans to stay just for one weekend, especially considering the still-smoldering torch she carries for Beau, who is now divorced and finally fair game. Beau knows, however, you don’t fall for the nanny. Especially when she’s your ex-sister-in-law.


Come to Sugarplum Falls for love, Christmas traditions, home, family, and hearth. Nanny romance Christmas at Turtledove Place is book 2 in the Sugarplum Falls Romance series by award-winning clean romance author Jennifer Griffith. Other books in the series includeChristmas at Holly Berry Cottage, and Christmas at Angels Landing. Read all three for a sweet holiday romance treat.
 
  

 
My Review: 4.5 Stars
 
I love the small town of Sugarplum Falls, brimming with tradition and loyalties, and this is a great addition to the series. Sophie is a great character, with her love of Christmas and for her niece and nephew. When her ex-brother-in-law needs help with the kids after her sister leaves them, Sophie drops everything to be there for them. One of the best things about this story is the darling children. They love unconditionally and are so precocious, especially as they inadvertently bring love to their father again.
 
Beau and Sophie have an obvious underlying chemistry, but this type of relationship is tricky, with the potential to be icky. However, Griffith does a great job in capturing the attraction and delivering a warm, loving, and sweet holiday story. I loved the aircraft elements, as well as the aversion to fireplaces. This story is one to warm the heart!

Content: mild romance (light innuendo, kissing)
