Sweet?? Yes. Predictable?? Very. Short?? Well, when it's listed as 'kindle edition: 81 pages', for me, that's a no-brainer. A few things that caused pause for me: #1: Aunt Bailey shows up on Steven's doorstep with Baby Faith. She has never heard anything but bad about this man from her dead sister, yet for the well being of the baby she moves in that night. ***(Okay sure, for the baby's sake i guess.) #2: He adamantly denies Baby Faith is his, yet invites a girl whom he's never met, to stay with him, indefinately??? ***(Hmmmmmm)#3: Aunt Bailey is young & pretty, was engaged to a man she's known for years, was saving herself for marriage, but within a week gives herself to Steven.***(Remember now, she's a goody two-shoes ((BTW-her daddy was a preacher)), her sister never had one good thing to say about him, & Neil is basically a stranger. This one was too two-demensional for me. Too much fairy tale.)#4: Let's see, would i ever possibly sleep with my sister's ex?? ***Uhhh, NO!!! Ick.#5: I understand the author wanted to lead into the next book by throwing out some names & introducing everyone to each other as they're meeting up on the island, but really, one guy brings his secretary, (gee I wonder where that's headed?) And the other brings his, WAIT...WHAT??? RIDING INSTRUCTOR???!!! LMFAO. ***(Because as a riding instructor you don't have students with scheduled lessons & you have all the time in the world to be spirited off to a private island by private jet, for a vacation...Yep...Sounds about right.)This is definately a BILLIONAIRE-FAIRY TALE-SHORT STORY. But i liked it well enough. This is a short story (about 80 pages). As such, it should've sucked me in pretty much from the get-go. This story didn't do that. The story was just disjointed and didn't make a lot sense. I didn't have a connection at all with either main character. The plot, itself, had some potential but the story really needed to be longer in order to make it work.Bailey's sister, Angela, used to date Steven. She got pregnant but didn't tell him about the baby. Then she was killed in a car wreck when the baby was a few months old. Bailey is raising the baby, Faith, but she runs through her savings in no time and goes to Steven to help her financially. Of course, he's a billionaire entrepreneur and she just shows up on his doorstep. I was expecting this story to be fast-paced since it's a short story, but it was kind of just ridiculous... She shows up on his doorstep saying the baby is his. He immediately denies it's possible, but insists she move in with him in order to be the nanny since he can't take care of a baby on his own. After a couple days, he decides he just have to have Bailey. He arranges for them to go on a vacation to a private island in the South Pacific. In less than 48 hours he's able to procure a passport for her and they take off for the island. I quit reading shortly after they arrived at the island. It was just kind of all over the place. Steven is a controlling kind of guy, as all billionaires seem to be, but he loves how Bailey tests his patience. Mind you, he's only known her less than a week and her sister was a gold digger and he's not even sure the baby is his and he doesn't know Bailey but he's not irritated by her arguing with him constantly. No sense. Then you have Bailey who is a goody-two-shoes. She was engaged but doesn't believe in premarital sex, so she's still a virgin. She was engaged to a man she'd known her entire life and didn't ever have the urge to have sex with him. She's known Steven less than a week and her sister never said anything nice about him and she doesn't like his high-handed attitude and he's the father of her niece but she's contemplating throwing her morals out the window and having sex with him. No sense.I just didn't have a connection AT ALL to the story or the characters. Maybe if the story was longer and there was more time spent on them getting to know each other, I could've gotten into the story. That, however, didn't happen.
