With some writers, you really want to pick their brain. Or at the very least - sit down with a notepad and take some tips (there's no greater compliment.) I'm like a sponge, soaking in a variety of styles and technique, keeping what I like and discarding what I don't. 
 What I liked best about this book? 
 Was the build-up for sexual tension. Some writers make you wait till the very end for it to culminate - others rush in too fast, and you get bored of watching a couple boink each other a gazillion different ways, because boinking couples are boring if there isn't a question of whether this can continue or not lingering in the air. 
 Zack Grantham has lost the mother of his son, Ben, four months ago and has been left cold ever since. Enter Kate, tomboy turned super-nanny, who hides a hot little figure under her clothes, and quickly gets Zack's engines revving. The entire book is laced with his guilt, but it's nicely done. Zack is able to admit he didn't love Gina as much as he probably should've done, but he doesn't disrespect her memory, whilst he makes new ones with Kate. Bennett Sawyer was able to make a grieving man and father look absolutely leading man material. I wasn't chucking a shoe on him for 'moving on so quick.' He's a man that loves deeply, that Zack. 
 ....So what did I learn, as I scribble away with a quill? (haha, not really.) 
 - Do a lead-up to the first kiss. Preferable. 
 - When you do the first kiss, the best kind are always unpredictable. Say in this story, you think it's a simple, "Oh, Kate's cut her finger! Zack's come running in! He's just going to band-aid her finger up and go back to his son." That's what you think you're going to get. Suddenly, Zack says, "I always kiss it better for my son. And Kate, without thinking, replies (I'm paraphrasing all this), "I'm sure you kiss it better." BAM! You think one scene is happening, BUT SUDDENLY IT'S MUTATED INTO A HOT KISSING SCENE. Muhahaha. 
 - If including sex scenes, always make each one different (if they're not, just gloss over it) and have different levels of urgency. 
 - Confidence is attractive. The most attractive men in fiction (Zack doesn't necessarily fit into this), is a man who knows what he wants straight away. He's not prone to being dragged into love triangles (no love triangle in this, don't worry!) He will say something like, "Choose." Likewise, some uncertainty over the relationship always makes it more attractive. 
 Great read. 
 FIVE STARS.
