Casey's first impression of her kindergarten student's Uncle Blake wasn't a good one. He threw up all over her! But he didn't know about that until later. When Hunter's uncle didn't pick him up from school one day, and calls didn't reach him, she decided to take Hunter home. What she found shocked her. The babysitter had left, the uncle was sick and unconscious on the couch, the baby was screaming in misery and the house was a horror! What else was there to do but to take over and clean up, feed the children, put the uncle to bed with a couple of pills to bring his fever down, look for his cell phone and call someone he knows to come and help them. By the time Blake's mother shows up at the door, Casey has some laundry done, the floors picked up, a couple loads of dishes put away, the baby fed, bathed, dressed, and put to bed, and taken a shower and washed her clothes.Blake's mother told her how he took over the care of his two nephews when their parents (his brother and sister-in-law) were killed in a car accident. Casey's heart just melted. But when he was well, Blake was anything but gracious. Disappointed, Casey just chalked up the experience as another blunder by stupid cupid. Her young student, Hunter, however, just couldn't leave things alone. He couldn't understand why his uncle wouldn't like his teacher. What follows is a comedy of errors.This is a sweet romance and light read. It's fun to read on those cold evenings where you need a steaming mug of hot chocolate or tea and a good book to snuggle up with.
