After this start, I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!This series starts off with an introduction to the Garner’s and the O’Hare’s, in the sleepy little town of Clover Park, Connecticut.Liz Garner has a lot on her plate, but she thrives under pressure.  From taking care of her inconsiderate sister, to Ryan’s saucy grandmother, she tends to forget about her own needs.  She’s a little on the O.C.D side, but she’s also a nurturer with a heart of gold.  A teacher in a small town, she never steps outside of her comfort zone, and always plans ahead.  Her lack of spontaneity soon becomes a thing of the past as Maggie, or Ryan’s Gran, starts to rub off on her.Although Ryan O’Hare’s worried about his grandmother, he soon becomes haunted by intimate visions of the uptight woman he hired to watch after her.  Liz, once a sweet and chubby little girl, has blossomed into a beautiful woman that’s very guarded and tense.  The thrill of the chase soon becomes too much for him to handle, as he finds himself scolding Gran’s caretaker more than Gran.There’s a lot going on in this novel, but nothing is in excess and simply adds to the story.  The setting is a quaint little town that reminds me of home, and some of the characters resemble people I know personally.  The challenges faced by the hero and heroine were very realistic, as were their personalities.  I came from the days when Tab was king and Jane Fonda was the Goddess of Fitness, so I was completely amazed by some of the advances dieters have made since then.  The ending was fabulous, and I’m excited for the next edition.  Great read!I received an ARC in exchange for an honest and unscripted review.
