See full review: [...]Let’s start off this review by saying I really enjoyed reading this book; it was a nice change from my normal Alpha male book reading.  The main character was a prim, plan everything, no risk taking, type of woman named Liz. Right in the first chapter we meet Liz’s older sister Daisy who comes to Liz seeking help. Liz, always having taken care of Daisy, knows that on her teaching salary that she cannot afford to help her sister. So Liz looks up an ad as a care taker and makes a phone call that results in her having to confront a man from her past that she had a humiliating experience with; cue in ex-cop Ryan, the star in “The Humiliation”. Ryan needs a caretaker for his feisty, take life by the horns kind of grandma because leaving her alone just results in random acts of crazy, her most recent act: taking his Harley for a joy ride. After all these years Ryan gets the surprise of his life when his eyes meet the beautiful Liz. She is nothing like the chubby, thirteen year old girl in the orange swimsuit he used to talk with in his life guard days.  Liz’s attraction and crush on Ryan never went away and just being near him makes her breath start to shake and her heart start to flutter. The attraction isn’t anything either Ryan or Liz wants to look into, but the more they try to deny it, the hotter it gets. A month worth of nightly visits followed with no breakfast mornings and thank you notes, Ryan starts to feel a little used by Liz and wants to form some kind of commitments with her but just not a full on relationship. Many problems start to arise and the sort-of relationship between the two starts to fall apart before it even has a chance to fully form. You’ll have to read the book to find out the rest but I do recommend it.  I only gave four leaves because I felt that the relationship could have been built up more between the two characters. I also thought that maybe there was a little too much of outside issues going on that made the story a tad bit longer and problematic than it should have been. I like the ending however because it felt more like something someone would do in real life. Like I said, I do recommend this read and can’t wait to read the next one.
