There is definitely an "ick" factor in this book for me. I have 3 daughters who did, do or will babysit and this just hit a "mom worry button" for me personally. Having said that, the babysitter is over 18 and is atypically mature in her dealings with the 3 children, the household responsibilities and her general goal setting/eyes on the future mind set. This is not the expected husband having an affair with the sitter story either. Points for originality in the plot. All of the characters are well developed except for the wife, who could have used a little more fleshing out. There are numerous editing problems; verb tenses, punctuation and misspelled/misused words to name a few. This does at times distract from the story. I'm still not sure if I liked this book, but I did like the babysitter character very much.**********************************SPOILER ALERT***********************************The relationship between the husband and the sitter begins with her comforting him after finding him in emotional despair over his marriage. When she also comforts the wife, reassuring her of her husband's love, things start to get a little jiggy. Husband and wife are brought back together emotionally and sexually through the sitter. There is appropriate guilt from both adults for drawing a teen into their marital relationship problems, and efforts made to be sure she didn't feel responsibility for their relationship. The couple express their gratitude for her selfless love that broke through their problems and saved their marriage.**************************************END SPOILER ALERT****************************Heat factor hot
