Official Summary from Author’s Site:
Reid Buchanan was
always a fan favorite on the baseball diamond. A spiteful article about the
former pitcher and current playboy questions his talent in the bedroom. And the
newspaper's just the first bad news. Reid's grandmother Gloria's broken hip
means she needs constant care—but Reid hired Nurses 1 and 2 for their bedside
manner with him. So for Number 3 he chooses Lori Johnson, the first candidate
who seems immune to his brand of charm.
Lori's never wasted
her time with amoebas like Reid Buchanan. So why are her well-fortified
defenses starting to crumble under the force of his sexy smile—and the
kindness he shows her at every turn? There's only one explanation for the
feelings flaring between them—chemistry. Chemistry so hot, it's sizzling!
I Say:
This was a book I took out from the library because of the
title and the cover. Not much thought went into my decision. I expected it to
be a light, fluffy, fun, escapist read. And in some parts it was. But other
times it was contrived, awkward, or just inappropriate. So I’m pretty glad it
came from the library.
