Stand-In Father As temporary guardian to his twin baby nieces, William Barns barely knows a diaper from a burp cloth. The well-meaning but meddling neighbor ladies suggest a wife--namely Emily Jane Rodgers. Although William isn't in the market for a bride, he needs a loving woman to watch over the children, and Emily Jane fits the bill nicely. Emily Jane agrees to care for William's nieces--not become his betrothed. Fully determined to find her own way in life and to open her own bakery, Emily Jane isn't looking for a husband. But no matter how hard she resists, Emily Jane is roped in by the twins' little hugs and William's tender regard. And soon she longs to be a permanent part of this ready-made family...… (más)
William Barns is convinced marriage and family are not meant from him after a broken engagement where his fiancee not only did not want to help raise his nieces but also informed him she didn't want children at all.
Emily Jane Rodgers is convinced a marriage and family aren't for her because she has a dream of owning her own bakery. Her father convinced her that no respecting man would allow his wife to own her own business.
William's nieces, Rose and Ruby, bring the two together. William needs someone to take care of them while he's at work. The two girls are probably age appropriate, but boy do they manage to get into quite a few things!
I like that William is committed to taking care of his nieces. I didn't quite understand why (or how) their father could go off and leave them to pursue the bad guys. I mean I could see it for a short period of time, but it appears he was gone long enough for William to worry that he was dead. I also like that William was committed to helping those in town to rebuild, and that he also is respectful of Emily Jane's dreams and thoughts.
I liked Levi too--he also tries to care for the widows and others by providing jobs for them in businesses he owns. In at least one case, he is allowing the woman running the business to plan to buy it from him. He also chips in to help the townspeople when they lose their homes to the tornado.
This book doesn't appear to be part of a series, but it wouldn't surprise me if there is another book about Josiah and Anna Mae. ( )
