I almost really enjoyed this story.  I decided to overlook the unlikelihood that a lone woman would allow a man she just met on a dark, isolated road into her car.  Once I suspended belief over that, the beginning showed promise.  Amber and Chris had chemistry.  Amber didn't have the horrible Sister attitude.  She also wasn't portrayed as being poor and in need of saving.  She had prospects.  Chris wasn't the typical super rich hero who sweeps her off her feet.  There were errors, as seems to be common in these self-published books, as the authors clearly don't make use of editors.  Fortunately, they were few and far between.  So, I read happily until I neared the end.  That's when a scene so outlandish took place that it knocked my five star to a three star review.  I'm a teacher, so maybe my perspective is skewed. In these times, all schools are hooked up with video cameras.  These two love birds decide to get it on after all the staff and students have left, in the front office!  Say what?!  What really got me was that they were discovered by the night custodian, and they let him watch.  What the h*!! In real life, the custodian would blab what he saw all over the school the next day.  These two would probably get canned and might have their licenses revoked.  I was cool up till then.  It's so aggravating when authors derail a decent story with a scene so ridiculous it taints the entire piece.  At least it did for me.  I liked the story premise. I liked the characters. But, I was unable to fully enjoy it because of some nonsense plot devices.
