3.75 starsOUT OF CONTROL is the second instalment in Nina Croft’s contemporary, adult Babysitting A Billionaire series. This is author Zachary Hunter and army sergeant Danielle Sinclair’s storyline. Although this is the second in the series, it can be read as a stand alone without too much difficulty.The storyline follows Dani and her fellow former army veterans as they are hired to protect and guard best selling author Zachary Hunter. With the upcoming annual awards ceremony approaching Zach’s life has been threatened through social media, letter bombs and threatening emails.  Dani and her bomb sniffing dogs are front and center when it comes to Zach’s safety but little did they know that it would be Dani and Zach’s hearts in terrible danger. Dani is currently on medical leave from the army and she is bound and determined to reenlist when she gets the all clear from her doctor.There is an immediate attraction between Dani and Zach but Dani is a tough nut to crack. She is almost cold; aloof and without emotion. There is something in Dani’s past she is trying to protect but with it comes a hardened demeanor –both inside and out. Dani Sinclair is a difficult heroine to warm up to-she doesn’t scream sensual, sexy or remotely approachable but all of her friends and co-workers are very protective of the petite female who has closed off her heart to the possibility of love.The secondary characters include Kim and Jake (Loosing Control Book 1) and a few of Dani’s co-workers and friends. Each adds a little bit of background information about Dani but the truth about her past is revealed from the woman-herself.Nina Croft pulls the reader into a storyline where opposites attract. Zach is a bit of a man-whore whose experience in the bedroom is infamous and Dani is a woman whose first sexual experience is with the man she has been hired to protect.OUT OF CONTROL is a well paced, predictable and enjoyable storyline. My only complaint is the heroine’s lack of emotion-her demeanor and attitude were definitely not inviting in the early stages of the book and it took this reader a while to warm up to her personality and character.I was gifted a copy
