Publisher's summary

Trina Clemons needed the money. Why else would she - the most organized, prepared student in school - spend the summer as a nanny and partner with the biggest slacker ever?

Now she's ready to tackle nannyhood with her big binder of research and schedules. Just don't ask her about the secret job of "fixing" the bad habits of a certain high school player....

Slade Edmunds prefers easy hookups, and Trina is definitely not his type. She's all structure and rules, while Slade wants to just have fun. Fortunately, Trina has no idea about the bet Slade made with his best friend that he can totally get her to unwind by the end of summer.... Then the weirdest thing happens. There's chemistry. A lot of it. But nothing gets between a boy and a girl like a big, fat secret....

Meh

If it wasn’t for Heather Wynne’s magnificent narration I would’ve stopped listening after an hour. It’s a cliched run of the mill YA romance novel.

Please give the narrator more gigs though!

Good story

His mom has to pay her to work with him. But when she does work with him, nothing is what she expected.

It’s a good clean book; little/no profanity, no descriptive sexual content, some heavy kissing. Suitable for 14 and up.

Not your average teen romance

Great summer romance book for teens of any age whom enjoy reading. Thoughtful, engaging, funny and a bit suspenseful. Very good read.

F Bombs

There is a lot of swearing in this book. They say the F word a lot in the second half of the book. There are lots of inuendos as well.
The story was original and generally okay but I don't think I would have listened to this one if I had known about all of that to start.
