I liked this book and flew through it, but I felt like the turn from Millie thinking her job and keeping distance from Andrew are the most important things to her sleeping with him went way too fast. The book sets her up to be wily and smart, and she would almost immediately sleep with her employer and risk the only thing keeping her from being homeless again? The twists were a little bit predictable, but overall I liked the story a lot.
