3.5 STARS
I liked all three of the main characters, even as different as they were. Sloane was different in so many ways and she'd held so many different jobs but writing was what she loved. Her mother keeps pressuring her to settle down, be normal and get married. That is SO outside of anything Sloane has EVER wanted. She marches to a different drummer and she liked it that way. But being a nanny was so outside her wheelhouse. But I doubt that she's ever done anything poorly.
Gavin had also been somewhat of a free spirit until his mother got cancer and he came home to be with her and his sister, Bree. He's a smart, good at his profession and totally over his head when it comes to his sister. There were a few times that I actually didn't like him because he was so quick to pass judgement. He needed to listen more and get ALL the facts. But hey, he was a work in progress.
What about Bree? The author nailed it when it came to her teenage angst and personality. The relationship misunderstandings between Gavin and Bree were totally believable.
The book did have well done heat between Gavin and Sloane. It did make me wonder how anything would work out as a H.E.A. for all of them.
Although this book had it's moments, I can't say that it really drew me as much as I would have liked. However it did have a good ending even if it was to me somewhat predictable.
