Love knows no contract.
Aspen Parker's life can be summed up in one word. Unexpected. For instance, she never expected to become a mother at twenty. Her divorce at twenty-one really threw her off. She certainly didn't see losing her promotion at the bank to that weasel Stephen. And she most definitely didn't see Miles Wickham, better known as Taron Taylor--international bestselling author, the man whose words have captivated her--offering her a job to be his nephew's nanny.
But there's a caveat to accepting the position; she must sign a contract agreeing to no romantic entanglements between her and the debonair Brit. Aspen doesn't expect this to be an issue seeing as she's not particularly fond of men. Once again, though, life is not turning out how she expected.
While Aspen and Miles traverse single parenthood together, there's no denying the chemistry between them. She can't figure out how her charming boss knows how to pierce the protective layers of her heart, and it's driving her mad. Mad with desire that is. Miles, too, is finding it hard to resist the reserved beauty who brilliantly takes care of his nephew and him. But with both their tentative hearts on the line, can they risk taking a chance on each other? Which will win? Love or the contract?

My Review: 5 Stars
The biggest reason why I like to read is to escape and wowza! this story was a delicious escape from my insanely stressful week. Aspen's life hasn't gone according to her plans and that right there caught me. My life hasn't been a walk in the park lately and I get so uptight about it, but watching how Aspen handled life gave me hope. Okay, so she's not real, but Jennifer Peel sure knows how to write realistic characters and I felt like I was learning a few lessons from a good friend through the course of her story.
Part of Aspen's problem stems from the lack of trust towards the male species. Enter Miles--the gorgeous, talented, famous Brit, who is also a man of many powerful words. In other words, her favorite author.
In an epic battle of wit, chemistry, and swoon, Miles and Aspen navigate uncharted territory, with an odious contract hanging over their heads, and I happily immersed myself in their story for a time. Their relationship is like chocolate and peanut butter--smooth, rich, creamy, and totally meant to be together. Kudos to Ms. Peel for writing yet another fabulous swoony romance that resonated in my heart long after the last page was devoured.
