GRR Reviews Burn For You (Boys of the South Book 6) by Marquita Valentine

Burn For You has a pretty standard "fall for the nanny" plot with a parallel plot of a custody fight with the ex. Neither character has to change much to achieve what they wanted, which was really ho-hum.

To recap, Beau Montgomery is rich, famous, and a racing driver, and part of the Montgomery racing clan. But his history of women wasn't as clear-cut, for right now he's sharing custody with an ex-wife of a daughter Mia that he wasn't sure was his biological daughter. When a chance to race in Monaco came up, he had to go there for a month, and he needed to hire a babysitter. And he got... Landry Basnight. Landry is a broke college student who's hot, and had nothing else to do and likes kids. It didn't hurt she liked Montgomery Racing family. So when Beau turned on his charms, she finds it hard to resist. But when Beau's ex-wife re-enters the picture, is there a future between Landry and Beau?

The ex Paisley was portrayed as just a nasty bitter girl which was too shallow and only at the end did we discover why. (Sorry, no spoilers) Could have dropped some hints earlier, sheesh. Amateur plotting mistake. Just sight of Paisley the ex is enough to send Beau's blood pressure soaring. So he's pretty easy to manipulate, and Landry? All around nice girl. What did these characters learn? Very little. No character arc. All in all, average everything.
