A heartwarming romance of family and finding second chances.

Kyra answers an add for a housekeeper, and is surprised to find one important detail missing...she is also expected to care for toddler triplets! Can Wade give love a second chance?

A charming read, with adorable children in this sweet small town romance. I liked how Kyra and Wade got to know each other through the everyday ordinary, and their shared faith. I also liked that Wade had a strong relationship with his brother, and that he does the best that he can for his kids.

Overall, a sweet, heartwarming read with great interaction and good relationship building, along characters that I could root for all the way through!

Wade is a rancher in need of a housekeeper one small detail he left out that really meant needing someone to care for his triplets while he working. Kyra is a former teacher on some downtime and was going to take him up on the housekeeper job but never imagined working with children's but that's her issue to contend with as they make an agreement that it'll only be for the summer.

I enjoyed this book. It was pretty mild with the drama if that's what your looking for a few things here and there but nothing too dramatic. I did enjoy seeing that romance blooming between the two. Then there was that whole being a teacher but not wanting to be around children's was kinda confusing for me and clearly there was a secret that I just had to know and I was pretty surprised when it came to light. Overall this was a pretty sweet book very heavy on the religious aspect so if that's appealing you might be drawn to this book.

Who are Wade & Bowie? Where are they? What do they each do for a living? How do they know one another? Who is Kyra? What does she do for a living? What takes her to Wade's doorstep? Who are Abby, Benjamin, and Cayden? Why is Kyra looking for a job? What happened at her last one? When Keno shows up, for the second time in the book, Kyra is helping Wade. Once he leaves and Kyra is mad at Wade, he tells Bowie. THAT conversation is funny! Who is Sabrina? What does she have to do with this story? What hard choices do Kyra and wade have to make? What is ultimately the outcome? Read and see what happens with these two broken people.

I always love a good book that has children in it. Abby, Ben and Caden sounded adorable and I would have loved to be their nanny. I enjoyed getting to know Wade and Kyra, however I wish there was more triplet interaction. Especially when I read about how Kyra felt about being there for their milestones. Wade had some character development but it always seemed to come at the expense of Kyra saying or doing something. There were very few instances in which he developed his character from coming to a realization himself and urging him to do something. Kyra's character mostly seemed like the catalyst character and although she has her own struggles that she overcomes, her character development is small and she is already a well defined character pretty early on in the book. I also loved the cousin Bowie and would love to read his story. If you like inspirational books with religious tones then this book is for you. A quick read and quite enjoyable for a day off.

This is a Clean Romance, and this is the first book in the Sundown Valley series. The main characters, Wade and Kyra are trying to overcome big things that happen in their past. I love reading about these two characters love story, and the triples made the story so much better. I really enjoy this book, and it was well-written. This was a short story that has great fun characters. I love books that has cowboys and ranches in it, and this has both with a bonus of three cute babies. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher (Love Inspired) or author (Linda Goodnight) via NetGalley, so I can give honest review about how I feel about this book. I want to send a big Thank you to them for that.

Oh, this was such a sweet and wonderful beginning to a new series! I loved these main characters! Wade and Kyra were very likable and the romantic attraction that began to build between them as the story progressed was just perfect.

They both had things from their pasts that they were working through that affected their ability to move on in life. I loved the way Kyra cared for and loved on the triplets and Wade was an amazing father.

This was such an enjoyable story from start to finish and I am excited to see what the future stories with other characters will be about.

This clean, Christian romance is the first in the new series Sundown Valley as well as the first book I read by this author. An author that I will definite continue to read.
The story centers around Wade Trudeau and Kyra Mason.
Wade is a rancher, and father of a set of 18 month old triplets. Their mother abandoned them and he will do everything in his power for them protect them and give them all his love. When the nanny leaves, Wade puts up ads and cards around town asking for a nanny.
Kyra Mason, a special ed teacher, has experience tragedy, heartbreak and after months in a hospital. She thought she was ready to interview for a job but when that wasn’t the case, she goes to the ranch for an interview.
Little did either know that from the moment she takes on the job for the summer, both their lives would change forever.
But Wade’s doubts about his feelings and a “city” girl, and Kyra’s doubts about Wade’s feelings might not end up with a HEA.
The plot was engaging, the main characters likable and complex, and the secondary characters ones that I hope get their own stories.
I was entrusted a copy of this book by Netgalley and Harlequin Love Inspired. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

Linda Goodnight was a new to me author and I decided to take a chance with this book. I am very glad I did because I thoroughly enjoyed it. She has crafted wonderful characters that I felt connnected to right away. I do enjoy a good cowboy story and thus one ticked all the boxes. It also had a great spiritual thread. Recommended.

My thanks to the publisher for a copy of this book via Net Galley. I received no compensation and the opinion in this review is my own.

I really enjoyed Wade and Kyras story. The triplets added so much I didn't want it to end
Just goes to show it can be a great feel good romance and not uber sexy to make it work

This was super cute and I read it in one day! To Protect His Children is a Love Inspired book by Linda Goodniht and it is the first book in her new series, Sundown Valley. Rancher Wade Trudeau needs a nanny for his triplets Abby, Ben, and Camden. Kyra Mason needs a change of scenery to help get in life on track.
I really liked the characters and the storyline. I am a sucker for books with kids and the triplets were so cute. I felt so bad for Wade and he had me from the beginning. Wade’s story drew me in and before I knew it, I was halfway down with the book. Wade was just trying his best to be the best dad he could to his triplets. I felt so bad for him, he was juggling parenthood with only his cousin to help him. He had been hurt and jaded by his wife and he did not trust easily. However he needs help and in comes Kyra Mason who may change everything.
Kyra seemed like a city girl, but it takes more than a little bit of dust to scare her off. I loved Krya from the beginning. She was kind and she immediately connected with Wade’s children. Kyra was strong and stubborn, but she was also considerate of others. She had experienced a terrible event in her life and she was still trying to pick up the pieces of her life. However, I loved her faith in God and how she leaned on Him for help.
Wade and Kyra were working a thin line as the lines between nanny and employer blurred. They cared for each other as friends, but as they watched out for the triplets they began to hope for more. I liked how Wade and Kyra’s relationship progressed, it didn't feel forced or sudden. They also did their best to get guidance and to trust God. But Kyra is only here for a little while, will they be able to work out their feelings before Kyra leaves?
I would definitely recommend To Protect His Children! This book was exactly what I needed! It had lovely characters and a compelling storyline. The triplets were super fun, and I really liked Wade's cousin, Bowie. I can’t wait to read the next books in the series!
