Cute low key love story.. yes, there’s some drama, some of it gets carried away, but the jewel of this is really Amy and her outlook on life. Ryan can’t help but fall for her, and to be honest I also liked how Jake and Ryan's friendship developed over the course of the book too.First half of this modern day chauffer / nanny story was a bit slow for me, but the second half was just right, and I loved the big ending where all the secrets are revealed.Ryan as a former Hollywood stunt driver turned automotive-mechanic-to-the-rich was a different sort of character-a reformed bad boy, he's biding his time as a mechanic at the manor, hoping to ride out a bad reputation. Then along comes Amy, Jake, a car in a ditch, and a deal with the patriarch of Montgomery Manor.I liked the setting for this story, it felt fresh to me. And it was very difficult to not like Amy. She’s sweet and lovely and it’s a no-brainer for Ryan to fall for her. But the ending was best, with the family secrets spilling out and Mr. Montgomery showing what being head of the family means.So, a nice easy read, with drama that isn’t too heavy and a feel-good ending. Not a bad start to the series.  Probably more like a 3.5 rating for me.
