I am having the hardest time writing a review for this book and I just can’t figure out why.  This is my third and final attempt.  It was a good book and I liked it.  I didn’t love it, but it was good.  I think, there were just more things about it that I didn’t like than those I did.This is the second book in the Babysitting a Billionaire series and books like this are the very reason I avoid reading out of order in a series.  Dani and several other secondary characters were introduced to me as if I should automatically know who they are.  The only back story I received on Dani related to why she was working as a private sector security agent.  She has left the army and is waiting on a clearance physical so that she can re-enlist. To what army though?  What country?  The majority of this story takes place in Spain, but I don’t believe that Dani is Spanish.  She’s redheaded and freckled.  But then, she goes to the wedding of her good friend (who is also the owner of the security firm) which is held in Scotland.  So, is she a citizen of the UK? I’m still confused.  The good friend who is getting married, his fiancé and another character are brought in here.  No back story at all.  I have no idea how they work in this story or why they’re even there, other than Dani was invited to the wedding.Zach is portrayed as a Hollywood playboy who is only interested in the next willing woman.  He’s a writer who is receiving death threats.  This is where Dani comes in.  For protection.Sigh . . .This was a really well written book.  The sentences flowed smoothly, the dialogue wasn’t all over the place and the characters seemed real enough.  But, I just didn’t like either of them.  Zack seems to think that his multi watt smile can get him any woman he wants and Dani has a huge chip on her shoulder.For me, when I review a book, I review it as myself (my likes and dislikes) and then as an overall contribution to the literary world as a whole.  I try to keep my pet peeves and the other silly little things that bother me to the back of my mind and think more along the lines of how it was actually written.  I don’t want the things that are personal dislikes for me to keep another reader from reading the story.I would recommend this book to others with a strong preface that it should be read only after reading the first book.  I’m going to read the first book as well, and then re-read this one.
