Heartless by Elsie Silver is a good quick read. The premise of this book is simply a single father who loves his child but is jaded toward women and the world in general. He doesn't want a nanny but he knows that he needs one. Enter the main character, the nanny. The nanny has all the lines and all the comebacks. This is a romantic tale, so the plot was totally expected. However, that is why we love romance novels, for the build up, the angst and then the blossoming love. It's not the plot that draws us to a romance novel, but the journey to get there.
Be forewarned, the book is borderline erotic literature but the story is solid. It drew me into the characters and had me laughing along with them. I typically don't go for books in a series unless I have all of them at my disposal, but I didn't realize that this was installment number two in a series. Therefore, there were some holes in the story line that I'm sure would be cleared up should I read the first novel. And likewise; there were some loose ends that were left untouched which I can assume will be wrapped up in book number 3.
