I loved Hired. Loved Brooke. Loved Logan. Loved the length of the book, their love story, the sex scenes, the way they cared about each other.What I didn't love? It's my common issue with language. I have a hard time accepting American characters who use British English. If you can overlook that, you will love this book, as well.Brooke is a single gal who could use some cash to put herself through nursing school. Logan is a pro hockey player who's been suspended for his over-violent ice play. Logan's boss hires Brooke as a companion--non-sexual--to pseudo-babysit Logan for a few days at a luxury retreat in the Caribbean. Logan doesn't know he's under surveillance, but he's enchanted by the unassuming nature of the girl sharing his boss' villa. They strike up a tentative friendship, which quickly turns into a fiery passion.In her heart, Brooke knows she can't sleep with Logan, while taking money for being his companion, so she decides to refuse the cash. A hundred thousand dollars.  Girl, she's crazy in lust/love.The two of them are such a cute couple. And it looks like it will end HEA-style, until Logan learns of the money Brooke had been offered. He calls her a whore, and walks out of her life.  Heartbroken and destitute again, Brooke soldiers on as a waitress, sans Logan. Good thing he comes to his senses!I got this one b/c I loved Scored. I wasn't disappointed, though as I mentioned, the Brit-isms were a bit distracting.
