Romance

NO ONE LIKE YOU is Book four in Kate Angell's Barefoot William Beach series. Unlike some previous books in this series, NO ONE LIKE YOU only follows one romance -- the one that gradually develops between pro baseball player Rylan Cates and his new PA Beth Avery.

The relationship between Rylan and Beth develops very organically. At the opening of NO ONE LIKE YOU, Beth is just hired as his personal assistant. One of the reasons Rylan hires Beth is that she isn't the type of woman he's normally physically attracted to. Kate Angell creates a sexy love story with substance. I love the pacing in this romance. The friendship that develops between Rylan and Beth early on and the slowly simmering attraction is delicious.

I like having the story told from both points of view. As with other books in this series, the characters really make this story. Both Rylan and Beth are likable and complex characters. The supporting characters like Rylan's teammates, family, and dogs are fabulous as well and add additional layers to this story that make it so enjoyable.

Beth's duties include managing just about everything in Rylan's very busy life and taking care of his four beloved dogs. In some ways, when reading NO ONE LIKE YOU, I felt like the situation with Beth coming in and caring for Rylan's dogs is similar to a housekeeper coming in to take care of a home involving a single dad and his children. Rylan's dogs -- Atlas, Rue, Oscar, and Nathan -- are important main characters and just as lovable as real children. The relationship that Beth develops with the dogs is as adorable as the one the dogs have with each other.

NO ONE LIKE YOU is a perfect example of why I adore the Barefoot William Beach series by Kate Angell -- it's the perfect blend mix of sexy and sweet, amazing characters, and fun stories. This series is highly addictive brain candy for the soul. I eagerly await the next installment in this always entertaining series.

SUMMARY

No One Expects a Curveball

For Rylan Cates, the gloriously sunny beachside town of Barefoot William may be home, but the pro baseball player needs to focus on spring training. Hiring a personal assistant to keep him and his four dogs organized for the next eight weeks is the first step--and Beth Avery is the perfect pinch hitter.

Beth is still looking for her place in the world, and a couple months caring for Rylan's two dachshunds, his golden retriever, and a Great Dane named Atlas should shore up her finances before she moves on. Except it's Atlas who won't budge, pushing her toward tanned, scruffy, sexy Rylan every chance he gets. One more strike and she's calling the dog out--unless she and Rylan admit that the attraction they're feeling is a game-winning grand slam. . .
