This is a good, clean, wholesome romantic short story that I couldn't put down until the very end.Casey Sweet is a kindergarten teacher who discovers that one of her Students (Hunter) hasn't been picked up from school yet. After failed attempts at contacting Hunter's uncle Blake Sullivan, Casey decides to take the boy to his home since he doesn't live far from her. Once Miss Sweetie ( this is what Hunter calls Miss Sweet) arrives at the house and lets herself in, she is shocked at what she see's. The house is a mess, there are clothes all over the place, dirty dishes piled in the sink, a smelly baby crying on the floor and a man sleeping on the couch that appears to be drunk.Casey soon finds out that Hunter's uncle Blake isn't drunk but sick, so she springs into action and bathes and feeds the baby and Hunter, cleans the house and does several loads of laundry including her own clothes because Blake manages to vomit on her at some point. Once the house is cleaned and she gets both Hunter and his little brother Toby to bed, Casey finds Blake's cell phone and calls his mother who immediately comes over to take care of her son and grand children.Blake Sullivan owns a construction company and has become guardian of his 2 nephews after their parents were killed in a car accident. Blake's fiancee left him when he received custody of the kids because she said that she didn't want to raise someone else brats. Since then, women have been throwing themselves at him so when Casey helps to take care of him ( with no ulterior motive) he is immediately suspicious of her and down right rude making her cry. After Blake's mother and Hunter both tell Blake how unhappy they are with the way that he treated Casey, he realizes that he must apologize.Blake and Casey soon become friends but both he and Casey discovers that Blake would like to become more that friends.I won't give away the whole book but, just let me say that Blake's ex-fiancee Tammy shows up and wants him back and there is a fellow teacher of Casey's named Jillian Weaver has her sights set on the handsome Blake Sullivan.This isn't usually the type of books that I read but, let me tell you that this was a wonderful book that I am really glad that I read it and will read more from the Author!
