Synopsis:
When billionaire Emily Steele breaks off her eight-year relationship with the only boys he’s ever dated, she quickly realizes she has a lot to learn. About the world. About herself.And men. Definitely men.
A friend’s bachelorette party in New Orleans is the perfect place to get in touch with her inner vixen. Trouble is, she’s never actually met her inner vixen. Worse, her overprotective uncle’s determination to keep her safe means she’s going to have a babysitter for the weekend. A tall, handsome babysitter who makes her tingle from head to toe.
Will Weston has always thought his boss’s niece was special, and now that she’s single, he’s even more acutely aware of her beauty and charm. Her uncle’s insistence that he accompany her to the world’s sexiest city has mistake written all over it—until she offers his best friend a million dollars to be her date.
Now there’s no way Will is staying behind, even though he knows something crazy is going to happen. Because falling in love in a weekend is definitely crazy.

My Thoughts:
“I think I’ve been falling a little bit in love with you ever since I first met you.”I received this book from NetGalley and I realized it is book three in a series and I had not read the first two. I decided to be a rebel and break my book reading rules of reading book series in order, even when the books in the series are stand alone. I am so glad I did because I would have missed the chance to read a great story between Emily and Will.
One of the first things I appreciated about the story is that Emily did not fit into the typical mold we find today for heroines. Yes, her family has money but she is just looking for a guy that wants to date her for her and not her family’s money. She also does not want a guy who plays it safe because she lost part of her leg to childhood cancer. She was ready to taste a different flavor of ice cream (Trust me - you will understand that when you read the book).
Maybe it's because I have read so many books with Alpha males, but I found Will’s character to be refreshing. Don’t get me wrong ladies, Will did know when to take charge when it was needed, but he was also a gentleman and gave Emily the space he felt she needed to ensure he was the right guy for her.
I also enjoyed the unique twist on the ending between Emily and Will (not going to spoil it for you – you need to read the book).
I highly recommend this book to anyone that is looking for a light-hearted story with a strong heroine and an even stronger man that supports her.
