This was the sweetest of the 5 books in the series so far, and I really enjoyed it. All the books in this series are smoking hot, and quite fun to read.
Piper Young made a pact with her friends. They each drew a name, and each of them will get an adventure to go on for their 25th birthday, completely planned out and paid for by the person who drew their name. Piper has been sent to Rio de Janeiro for weeks of fun in the sun. Part of the pact is, none of them is aloud to come home without having epic sex. Piper is a daycare teacher, and because of that, she's decided to never have kids of her own. They can be so horrible! She isn't sure what to expect in Brazil, but it's definitely not to be staying with her friend Alyssa's widower cousin and his mute little girl. She's to be the girl's temporary nanny while the actual nanny is on vacation. She's going to kill Alyssa. How is she supposed to have an epic trip under these circumstances??
Lucas Santos is a workaholic. He's poured himself into his job ever since the death of his wife, but to be honest, it was like that before as well. His daughter, Maddie, has been emotionally scarred by her mother's death, and hasn't spoken since it happened. He works now from a home office to be closer to Maddie when she needs him, and he has an old family friend who has become Maddie's nanny. With her on a well deserved vacation, he needed a fill-in, and his cousin Alyssa sent her friend Piper. Except it becomes apparent right away that Piper had no idea the situation she was walking into. Lucas also isn't expecting the attraction he feels for her.
Lucas and Piper have crazy chemistry from the beginning, but they are both fighting it for their own reasons. For a short novella, this is a bit more of a slow burn than the other stories in this series. Piper and Maddie get along so well and she cares so much for the girl, and she's worried about getting involved with Lucas when she's supposed to be leaving in a few weeks. Lucas is worried about his daughter's emotional state, and he wants Piper to be able to help with that, and doesn't want to get in the way. I loved the way they tiptoed around each other until they just couldn't any more.
This was a sweet, sexy short story, and I enjoyed it very much. I highly recommend this entire series to anyone looking for a quick and dirty fun read. There's only 1 book left to go, and the heroine is the instigator of their little friendship pact. I can't wait to see how her story comes out!

Entangled Scorched titles are shorter and erotic. And, this one met both of those requirements. It wasn't excellent, and it was definitely instalove, but it was enjoyable overall.
Piper is a daycare teacher who thinks she is going on an exotic vacation. Lucas is a widower with a daughter who stopped speaking after her mother's death.
The sex with Lucas and Piper was hot, it was steamy, and the attraction between them was interesting, and it was intense. As this was a shorter story, and it is erotic, this was expected and the instant nature of their attraction needed to happen.
While I did enjoy this overall, I thought Lucas trusted Piper with his daughter a little quickly. Other than that, this book worked for me, and I enjoyed it overall.
