The second in a series in which I did not read the first.
I picked it up at the book store after the 3 books I actually wanted were not on the shelf yet, but thought with Candace Camp I would be okay.

I was okay, but only okay. The plot was very predictable and the romance was ordinary.

A lazy almost-rake is thrust into a family position of authority as multiple situations occur which force him to make decisions. All the while a new chaparone (the heroine) is catching his eye, and eventually his heart, as he sees her personality and abilities while also dealing with the unexpected turns (which frankly are excessive in my opionion).
The story does tie together nicely at the end though, and leads to book three which I AM excitedly awaiting after reading the excerpt.

I wouldn't buy this one, but that may be because I didn't have anything invested by not reading the first?
