Review: MAN OF STEEL - Kathleen Creighton

Years of being a long-distance daddy hadn't prepared Rhett Brown for his ultimate challenge: single parenthood. His ex-wife's desertion had left him with two little kids -- and more anxiety than he could handle. But relief showed up in the form of enchanting Dixie Parrish. Was she the answer to his prayers -- or his desires?

Review: This is the third book in the 'Into the Heartland' series. The first book is 'A Wanted Man' which is the story about Lucy. The second book 'One Good Man' is the story of Wood. This book is the story of Wood and Lucy's older brother Rhett. Rhett is seen as the stuffed shirt in the family. He is a big shot lawyer who plans to run for State Attorney General. Rhett thought he had it all, a great career, a beautiful wife, and two terrific kids. The last thing that Rhett expected was to have his wife leave him and his kids for another man. Now Rhett is barely managing day to day. All he wants is for his children to be happy, so when his daughter asks for a horse Rhett calls his sister Lucy for help. Lucy decides to play matchmaker and sends her friend Dixie to deliver Rhett's daughter's horse. Dixie thought that she would be delivering a horse and than leaving. The last thing that she was expecting was to become a nanny to two children. Dixie is fighting the demons from her past and she thought that she was doing a fine job until now. Being around Rhett's children, Lolly and Ethan, brought back the past that Dixie thought she buried. Rhett was grateful for Dixie and all that she has done for his kids. Rhett was having a hard time remembering that she is his employee and he should keep his hands off. Rhett and Dixie become closer, but at the same time that very closeness could destroy their future. This was a good romantic read. The family aspect is the focus of the book. Lolly and Ethan were very important secondary characters. It was also nice to read about the characters from the previous two books. Lucy's story still remains my favorite out of the three.
