Something Saved (Wolf Mountain Ranchers #5) by Erin FitzGerald

ABOUT THE BOOK

When Morgan shows up on my doorstep wearing a pencil skirt and heels, demanding she be allowed to interview for the position I posted for a nanny, I’m reasonably sure she’s joking.

The woman the kids take to immediately makes it plain straightaway that she has absolutely no experience as a nanny, and I wonder what’s the real backstory to the slightly familiar-looking woman who doesn’t seem to legally exist.

In my experience, women have secrets and it turns out Morgan is no exception. Her secrets take her away from her duties with some frequency, though her presence draws each of us out. Something about her begins to glue the pieces back together.

I’m exhausted, fighting to fill the financial holes my father’s big dreams have created, and the truth is that my third-generation ranch is under threat from developers with deep pockets.

The bigger problem? The kids Morgan is nannying aren’t actually mine–not yet–and when the woman who’s worming her way into my heart offers to help me fix that, some terrible things come to light. Can I live with what she’s hidden, or is it best for everyone if I just cut her loose?

MY REVIEW

I love this series! Ms. FitzGerald’s writing is superb as she wraps up the Wolf Mountain Ranchers Series featuring Morgan and Grant.

Grant’s backstory is heartbreaking. It’s no wonder he struggles with trust, especially when it comes to Morgan. Morgan is just what the doctor ordered. She is Grant’s opposite with her kind and caring manner towards everyone she meets. The way these two interact is downright heart-melting. The outpouring of emotion had me glued to the pages. 

Watching all of the characters including the adorable Brandt and Amelia, and the hilarious Al transform into their best selves is touching and so rewarding. 

I’m so sad this beautiful series is ending, but I’m looking forward to what Ms. FitzGerald has in store for the Benson brothers in the Colson Creek series.

Thank you to Ms. FitzGerald for giving me the opportunity to read this book with no expectation of a positive review.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Erin was born in the Midwest to very patient parents, and grew up with one slightly less tolerant brother. She learned the value of hard work growing up on a dairy farm and has loved tractors, animals, pastoral scenes and obnoxiously loud trucks ever since.

She valiantly resisted learning to read until the second grade, much to her mother’s consternation. When the switch flipped she began devouring everything she could get her hands on, and the greatest source of punishment was to confiscate her books.

After a tertiary education and marriage, Erin and her husband moved to NYC, where they lived for ten years. There they had children and in addition to gaining “work experience,” began collecting an assortment of accidental and on-purpose pets.

Packing up the kids, the house and the pets, they relocated to central Florida for her husband’s work. There they bought a ramshackle foreclosure the family spent five years fixing up, with the running joke “We’ll finish the master bathroom and the house will be perfect–glorious! And then we’ll move.”

Two weeks after finishing the final project, the gut renovation of the master bathroom, her family did indeed pick up and move again. (Some would call that ironic, but Erin calls it prophetic and has learned to keep her mouth shut.)

Now living in the Metro D.C. area, Erin is a huge fan of grocery delivery services, the National Gallery of Art, every library and bookstore she’s ever seen, and she adores nothing more than a happy ending.
