Stirring Up Trouble

Stirring Up Trouble by Kimberly Kincaid

Sloane Russo's turned a decade of crazy jobs and whimsical travel into a career writing steamy novels set in exotic places. Trouble is, Sloane's flat broke now--and she can't channel sun-drenched beaches in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The only fast cash in town comes with some seriously distracting temptation: Gavin Carmichael, hot, handsome and oh-so-hard-headed.

Gavin isn't the impulsive Don Juan of Sloane's novels. He's raising his thirteen-year-old half-sister, and he's pretty sure he's supposed to act like he's never heard of fun. Sloane is way too sexy and irresponsible to be his idea of a good tutor for Bree, but the unpredictable anti-nanny may be irresistible as well. . .

Sloane has had a bunch of careers but the one that has stuck is a writer. She's had a few novels that have been hits but she wrote them all on location. This latest book she wrote isn't what her publisher is looking for, they want Greece and she wrote small town romance. Being in Pine Mountain has blocked her mojo, well her mojo for foreign hot Greece romances. So she has to leave, go to Greece and find the mojo there, she's done it with all of her other books. Funny thing is she doesn't have any money to do that so she must find a job. What she doesn't realize is that Carly is going to help her out, but babysitting a kid and helping her get a better grade in English isn't what she was planning.

Gavin is at his wits end. His baby sister hates him. His mother is dead and he feels like nothing he can do will make anything better. Now that his babysitter has to leave for a family emergency, he has no where to turn but Sloane. He doesn't quite trust her, she's flighty and she writes romance novels. How could she be responsible for his sister.  He finds out that maybe she's just what they needed.

I loved watching Sloan and Gavin work through everything. While Gavin isn't the person to let loose he sure does know how to get the job done! *wink* If you know what I'm saying. Sloan learns that she's got to start trusting someone and Gavin truly doesn't seem like the guy to lie to her. Plus while she's not a kid person, she does like Gavin's sister Bree. Fantastic story!!! I can't wait for the next one! As always leave the author some love in the form of a review!
