Reid Buchanan is a former baseball player who has a certain affection for the ladies until a newspaper article questions his abilities. After the reporter tells of her unfulfilled expectations, then other women come forward to give TV interviews about his not so stellar performance in the bedroom. Reid has no other option but to hide from the reporters that are gathering around his home. His grandmother, Gloria, is coming home to recover after a broken hip, so he moves into the upstairs of her house. To help with Gloria's care, he hires three nurses. Two of them are more suited for his needs, while the third brings him back to reality. What is it about that third one that keeps him seeking her out?

Lori Johnston is the daytime nurse for Gloria Buchanan. Gloria is a bit of trouble since nothing seems to please her, but Lori gives her the benefit of the doubt. She soon has Gloria changing for the better, and Gloria's family is amazed at the transformation that has taken place. Being in the confined space with Reid Buchanan has Lori questioning her sanity. She finds herself becoming more and more attracted to him, though she tries to tell herself it is just a chemical response. She knows what kind of man he is, and reminds him about it often. Should she give in to the attraction between them? Will he break her heart? Could she break his?

Susan Mallery has written an excellent romance pairing a former baseball player with the nurse that has come to care for his grandmother. Though SIZZLING is the third in the Buchanan family series, it is the first one that I have read. I enjoyed meeting the other brothers and their significant others, and I'll be sure to read the first two books to learn their stories. I think all the characters added to the tale, and the subplot that involved Dani Buchanan sets the stage for the next story in the series. SIZZLING is definitely a book to add to that keeper shelf.
