Hunter is the son of a billionaire and has gone off the rails. His father places him in a Boston apartment with a ‘babysitter’. Sailor agrees to babysit Hunter. She gets a good deal; a nice apartment to live in, paid to keep Hunter in check all whilst pursuing her Olympic archery dream.

Hunter has started working in his dad’s firm, learning the ropes and going to college. But, he overhears one of his dad’s associates plotting against the company, yet loyalties are so thick that no-one believes him. Sailor helps Hunter with his mission to prove the company is in danger.

This is a steamy story, but it has a lot of character depth and good plotlines. It explores arranged relationships, not fitting in with family, life goals that impact on your life and realising that your dreams can change as you grow older.

Hunter saved his family from danger and the company although, Sailor’s dad was already involved in the rescue mission. Hunter was able to prove his loyalty to his family and show himself how capable he really is. Sailor realised there are more important things than wasting her life away training every hour for the Olympics. Hunter and her have formed a relationship that neither of them thought they needed but it was exactly the answer to both of their lives and futures.

Some of the spice was good but in general, I just wasn't connecting to this story at all. 
The characters weren't particularly likable, MC starts off "not like the other girls" but goes through the cliche "disney princess makeover" because her bffs want her to make the "bad boy" fall in love with her.
