Home with You (The Bradshaws Book 1) Kindle Edition

A tragedy brings sudden responsibilities—and more—to a stubbornly single professor in a “sweet [and] enjoyable” tale by the USA Today–bestselling author.
 
The Bradshaw brothers never dreamed they’d return to their hometown. But tragedy has brought them back together in Benevolence, Washington, where they’re finding generosity, surprising revelations—and unexpected love . . .
 
Sullivan Bradshaw is in way over his head. A car crash killed his brother, Matthias, and critically injured his sister-in-law. It’s Sullivan’s turn to care for the couple’s six children and the ancestral farm, but the die-hard bachelor and art professor is hardly family-man material. What he needs is the perfect nanny-miracle worker-saint. What he gets is pretty Rumer Truehart, a free spirit who will change everything he ever thought he wanted . . .
 
Rumer learned the hard way that nothing is for sure, much less forever. And she certainly understands why Sullivan’s unhappy childhood makes him a strictly no-commitments kind of guy. But she can’t help being drawn to this thoughtful, gentle man. And when trouble strikes, she’s determined to win his trust—and show him love can be a promise for keeps.
 
Praise for Shirlee McCoy’s Sweet Haven
 
“Fans of Debbie Macomber will appreciate McCoy’s sweet, funny, heartwarming romance with its friendly, small-town setting.” —Booklist
 
“A delicious small-town treat.” —Library Journal

This was an unexpected treasure to be read and savored. It’s all about 6 adopted kids in a family whose father was killed in a car accident and the mother is in a coma. The father’s 3 single brothers who have no clue about raising children hire a caretaker/nanny/housekeeper who had a tumultuous childhood herself. Sullivan is overwhelmed with caring for these 5 hellions and a baby but gives it everything he can along with the help of Rumer, the nanny. It’s a good solid read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Is This Really by Shirlee McCoy?
Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2018

This is a really, really good story. It provoked sad sniffs and laugh out loud mirth, but I was surprised by the frequency of casual four letter expletives used by the kids and adults. I'm glad I didn't abandon the story after the first few pages, because toward the end of the story, both kids and adults were calling one another on language. Still . . . Ms. McCoy's Love Inspired stories always include a spiritual thread. Her characters in Home With You say, "Oh GOD," and "GOD," a lot. I was offended at first, but I've decided they were spoken as a prayerful appeal in overwhelming circumstances. I'm a believer in the saying, "Garbage in, garbage out." In spite of the quality of Ms. McCoy's stories I think I'll pass if anther of her stories starts with the casual cursing. I'll stick with her Love Inspired stories.

It was pretty good. I like Shirlee McCoy's stories. This is a continuation of another series, the Sweet Home series. They both are pretty good series. Making lots of 'loved' chocolates. Yummy! Good stories.

I enjoyed the flow of the story. I like to read mysteries but occasionally I enjoy a “people” book. That’s what I would call this. Enjoyed so much buying book 2.

Story Notes

This was a pretty cute story that illustrated how real life goes on after a tragedy happens. Life is messy every day and when the pieces of a person’s world falls apart it becomes all the more messy and chaotic. Rumer Truehart has come home to care for her ailing aunt and discovers there is little money to spare after all the medical bills and the recent necessary updates to the house. Knowing it’s up to her to find a job to help pay the upcoming bills, Rumer finds an ad requesting a housekeeper/nanny for a family near her aunt’s horse ranch. Applying in person seems ideal but Rumer will have to make a careful decision once she sees the craziness of the Bradshaw household. With six adopted children from age 12 to 2 years, Sullivan Bradshaw is hard put to be the stand in parent for his brother and sister in law. As bachelor with little interaction or experience with anyone younger than himself, Sullivan is desperate to find someone to help him manage the multiple schedules and keep everyone fed and clothed. Rumer is not quite what he expected when he had discussed a housekeeper/nanny with his other brothers but she seems to know just what each child needs and even makes them smile. And the fact that she is also quite pretty helps his decision immensely. Rumer is reluctant to agree as she is not certain she can be all that the children need, which in all honesty is their mother. But as Sunday Bradshaw remains in a coma, there is little Rumer can do outside of agreeing to help Sullivan keep everyone under control. Together they will have to learn how to care for the children and not lose their minds. And with children who love to push every last button they will find that their days will be filled with amazing laughter and oceans of tears. Along the way they might even find themselves discovering the true love they were looking for all their lives is working right beside them. Shirlee McCoy has been a favorite author of mine for several years. I have enjoyed reading multiple mystery/suspense stories of hers as well as some romances. I was a bit shocked with this story to find the inclusion of so much language – and it was completely unnecessary to the plot to include it. Yes, it makes the story a little more “edgy” I guess if you include that but I would have preferred the writing she usually provides which is excellent. For this reason, I could only give the book 3.5 stars when I really wanted to give it 4.5 based on the actual plot. Ms. McCoy wrote a heartbreaking and heart healing story that showed the raw and real pain that a family endures when tragedy strikes. Children especially take death hard and will lash out if not given a chance to grieve properly. They have to find a new balance for their new way of life and sometimes that means they will push the boundaries and break all the rules to find where they can comfortably come to rest. Ms. McCoy shared every emotion and did it with humor that made me laugh out loud. I truly enjoyed the book and the lessons to be shared. I am hopeful Ms. McCoy will bring out another book soon and will leave the unnecessary language out so I can recommend it to more people. As this one is I will be adding a warning to go along with this book as I don’t believe it will be enjoyed by everyone. Please bring back your other stories and better writing so I can share it with others!!

I received this E-book free of charge from Zebra/Kensington books via NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review. I will receive no fiscal compensation from either company for this review.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet story of love and family
Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2018
Sullivan Bradshaw had need of a cook, housekeeper, babysitter, nanny . . . His brother had been killed in a bad accident and his sister-in-law was lying in a coma in the hospital. They had six children that needed to be taken care of, not to mention the family farm. Sullivan was completely out of his element and needed help.

Rumer had taken a leave of absence from her teaching job to help her grandmother who had suffered a heart attack. She was really only needed on the weekends, so when she saw the ad, she felt it was an opportunity to help her grandmother financially, too.

Once Rumor met Sullivan and the six Bradshaw children, she wasn't sure it had been such a great idea after all. They were all a hot mess but endearing and she could see some of her insecurities in them, also. She couldn't seem to tear herself away, even though, she felt sure she would have her heart broken. They were beginning to get under her skin and worm their way to her heart.

This was a sweet story about healing scars from a bad childhood and making life better for those who had suffered, as well. I loved how Rumer and Sullivan worked together to take care of the children, even when they were exhausted and didn't really know what to do. They tried to do their best and built a little family in the process. There was a smattering of foul language in the book, but no sex scenes.

I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
