Sometimes love can start with a little hate.
When Sky Hudson first has a run-in with tall, dark, and handsome Nicholas Ruggarson, she wants nothing more than to throw her coffee at him. He is rude and arrogant, and she is glad she never has to set eyes on him ever again.
Or so she thinks.
It turns out, not only does she have to see Nick again, she also has to live with him. Hired as the new nanny to work for Nick’s affluent family, she can’t seem to get away from the womanizing jerk.
With a hot and cold relationship, and an undeniable attraction between them, Sky might finally be the woman to break through Nick’s arrogance and discover that there is more to him than she ever imagined.
If she doesn’t kill him first.

Beneath him had me captured at the blurb.I came across it looking through a bunch of recommendations Amazon left me.
At first, I thought I could really enjoy the book, but the more I read the more I got kind of bored and just wanted it to end in a way. I don't think the story was for me at all. The blurb came across so interesting and something I'd read, but I didn't feel anything reading the novel to make me want to love it. I didn't feel the connection between the two characters, I didn't really feel the anger either. I understood why he frustrated her, he was a complete jerk to her.
I had also guessed the story early on. It was a long shot at guessing, but I guessed right. The clues weren't obvious to the reader, but as you read on I knew my assumptions were right. I'm not going to tell you what because it's the major plot in the story. I will say I don't know how any one could do that. I really don't. But then that's me and this is a fictional book LOL.
The writing was beautiful although I wish it had more emotion to it. I need that in a book to really connect to characters like Nick and Skye. They were so different from each other. They were supposed to have formed this bond through cooking, sleeping together (not sex, get your mind out the gutter) and going out for meals with Nick's friends, but I never felt any of that. I felt like there was too much hostility between the two.
