More than a Maid is book 3 in the Barboza Brothers series. In book 1, I fell in love with Victor, Cara, and Isaac. In book 2, I fell in love with Armando and Katie. And book 3, I fell in love with Ramon and Marcy.Ramon is an independent, hard working man who gives to others', but does not take easily to receiving help from others'. He's a giver, not a taker, which is a great quality in anyone. Although, we all need help from time to time, whether it be financial, physical, or emotional. You can't do it ALL alone, ALL the time.Ramon is stubborn, hard headed, and set in his ways, which makes it hard for him to let others' in and for others' to get close to him. His older brother's love in immensely and are persistent in their efforts to get to the bottom of what is causing Ramon so much stress and grief. It takes a team effort, and a lot of probing and digging...Marcy, a friend of Cara's, who previously owned her own cleaning business moves to Ramon's ranch to help out as the "maid" of the expansive ranch house, working for Victor, not Ramon, although it is Ramon's house.Marcy was forewarned by Cara to steer clear of Ramon because he was a "jerk", which I agree he was at times. The attraction between Ramon and Marcy was obvious right away. It didn't take long for those feels to kindle some form of a relationship, mostly physical at first. When something is meant to be, no matter how many times you tell yourself it's not, doesn't change the fact that it is and always will be. You can't lie to yourself forever.I felt sad for Marcy at times dealing with Ramon's stubbornness, but she truly loved him and new he was worth the effort.Even though Ramon has a tough exterior, and acted like a jerk at times, he was a really good guy with a kind heart.Marcy held her own with Ramon, she didn't just surrender every time he decided the were 'on' again. She stood her ground, which I admired about her.I love the fact that Reeni gives us more of Victor and Cara's story, and Armando and Katie's story in this book. It was nice to see their lives together evolve throughout this story.I loved Ramon and Marcy's story, and I know you will too. He's very different from his older brothers, but that's not a bad thing at all. If you haven't met all 3 Barboza brother's you need to! Seriously!~5 Stars!~~Karese
