It started out like any normal day. Then the fender bender happened. The guy I collided with drove an expensive car and was drop-dead gorgeous. Too bad he was also a total jerk. We argued over whose fault it was and any other thing that came out of his condescending mouth. Eventually, the police came and we went our separate ways. The insurance companies would have to figure things out. I had a job interview to get to anyway—one I was excited about. Though that excitement changed to disappointment the moment the person interviewing me walked in. The guy from the accident. Whoops! Yeah, so I didn’t get the position. The problem was, I really wanted it. No, I needed it. Anything to get me out of my current career and back into working with kids. So, even though Hollis LaCroix was as intimidating as he was devastatingly handsome, I went back to see him and begged for a chance. To my surprise, he gave me a shot taking care of his troubled niece. At least my attraction to him wouldn’t be able to go anywhere. I wasn’t about to jeopardize my job or the strong bond Hailey and I formed. But resisting the magnetic pull between us wasn’t that simple. (Then there was our little underwear game—don’t ask.) We continued to flirt without crossing the line—until it finally happened. This is the part of the story where we fall in love and live happily ever after, right? Well, life has a way of throwing some major curveballs. Ours was one I didn’t see coming. 5 Heart Review by Lorena Hello Hollis!!!! I was smitten with Hollis and Elodie's story. They were both such fun characters especially Elodie. She was such a ballsy girl who didn't give a shit about how she spoke or who she spoke to. That girl spoke her mind and that to me, is one tough cookie.
Even though Elodie and Hollis got off on a bad start, they managed to figure out how to get along especially when Hollis saw how well Elodie got along with his niece so that scored Elodie brownie points to get the nanny position that he was hiring for. Elodie found Hollis very attractive and even though they both loved to play the cat and mouse game with each other, they knew one of them was bound to end up hurt if they continued playing these flirty games. It had to come to an end and either be special in each other's lives or move on and find love elsewhere. This book had me at HELLO! I think by far Elodie and Hollis are my favorite characters from this magnificent author duo.
