I thought Everly and Ford were great together. I did find that I missed some of the angst and yearning that I look for in my books. The circumstances of Everly applying to be the nanny were odd, and thought it didn't fit with the story. 

I did find it weird that Ford had been living for four years with support from his family only and suddenly needed a nanny.

I loved the premise of the story, but the execution just wasn't perfect for me. It was my first Marni Mann books, but it will not be my last. I want to see more of what she can write.
