This forced proximity, opposites attract romance has always been a favorite of mine.
I read it when I was in high school, and it’s one that I always come back to. It’s the kind of book that inspired me to start writing and made me want to continue to write romance. The plotline will leave you smiling at the pages throughout the characters' banter and strengthening relationship with the kids they’re forced to babysit for a summer job.
From Lexi's list on vacation romance to get you into a summer state of mind.
