While this one is set in Montana rather than NC, I figured I'd post my review anyway.

Jon Rider needs help. Losing his wife was hard, but the risk of losing his seven kids is harder. When a social worker shows up, claiming a case of neglect was reported against Jon, he’s shocked and angry. Vet, Kaycee Calloway is on the ranch that morning having just helped a calf be born, now she finds herself in the mist of this family drama and unsure what to do. Then she finds herself directly involved when one of Jon’s children pulls her into the mix saying she’s going to be their new mom, that she’s engaged to Jon.
Now Jon and Kaycee find themselves wondering if maybe this make-believe engagement should become real. However not all the children are thrilled to have Kaycee in their lives, and Jon’s father-in-law is still determined to get his way, and they may have more on their hands than they can handle or love can survive.
MAKE-BELIEVE MOM is a good story. There are a range of characters and interesting problems for them to face. While things are settled a little more sweetly than I think true life would allow, the story offers readers a wonderful escape. The hero, Jon is sexy, and virile (with seven kids you’d expect that) but also strong and has a heart you can’t help but love. And Kaycee is a strong woman who’s put in a different situation. The story was fast and easy to follow. A wonderful way to pass an afternoon.
