Summary: :)
Review: This is the first book in the Guiness Gang series. Elizabeth Guiness grew up in a small town with a wonderful family. She loves her parents and her brothers more than anything in the world. Liz even managed to marry her childhood sweetheart and than watch while he was gunned down in front of her. Now Liz wants to make a fresh start as a nanny and she believes the best way to do that is far away from her hometown. Her new charge is a precious six-year-old boy genius. Andrew has been through three nanny's already and is known for quoting morbid statistics twenty-four hours a day. Liz knows that her job will not be easy, but she is determined to try. Making her work even more difficult is Andrew's brilliant gorgeous father.

Richard Keaton may be the tenth smartest person in the world, but when it comes to his personal emotions he is completely shut down. Richard has been betrayed by almost everyone in his life. The last was his wife who cheated on him with almost every man within reach. She was a cruel and hateful woman who destroyed any faith he had in other human beings. When she was murdered, the entire town turned against him and his in-laws took his son from him. Now five years later he was getting Andrew back. Nevertheless, Richard feels that it is in everyone's best interest if he keeps his distance from Andrew. However, keeping his distance seems impossible since Liz is determined to bring them together.

Richard and Liz generate sparks just by being in a room together. The love story between Richard and Liz is only one element of this book. Andrew himself generates enough excitement to keep the reader turning pages. This cute serious six-year-old wears suits and reads the Almanac for pleasure. Last but not least is the element of danger that is present through most of the book. This is a truly great book that I would highly recommend.
