About this ebook
When a strange accident had the family lawyer suspicious, James Geraghty was brought in as a replacement bodyguard for the heiress Aden Barrington. What he didn’t expect was that the job not only entailed him being renamed and joining her menagerie of staff but that she would drag him all over the countryside while she drew trees.
The association with James causes Aden to withdraw from her fantasy world to face the realities of life, except that hers consists of a cousin who might have organised her removal. James finds himself struggling to keep Aden safe while coping with her strange and deadly family. He would be far more confident if her eyes weren’t the colour of honey and her hair a halo of sunshine. James discovered he got much more than he bargained for when he accepted the job of being Mr. Smith because falling in love wasn’t part of the job description.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This book didn't work for me. There was something awkward and disconnected about the writing style that made it difficult for me to fall into the story.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I got this in e-book form for my kindle, and it was a quick read for me. It wasn't a really heavy romance book, and while I actually liked the book, I wished I liked the main character a little more - who was a little bit unrelatable. But overall, a good read and there was just enough suspense to make you turn the page.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Not Really Mr. Smith is a well-written & engaging tale. I found myself smiling at the playfulness portrayed at times. The romance was there, but it didn't overwhelm the rest of the story.After Aden's mother's death, unable to cope she withdraws from reality. So much so that she even feels the need to rename everyone she meets. When a young man is hired to protect her from a imminent threat, Aden is intrigued by him, and therefore comes slowly back to her true self through love and fear.I found a few typos in my version of the book, which pulled me out of the story for a second, but otherwise it was thoroughly enjoyable.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This book was ok. I found it hard to relate to the characters, especially the main character Aden, who refuses to deal with reality, and has kind of annoying ways of creating her own reality. I also found that the book ended really quickly. The book was sweet, but I found it hard to get into because of my dislike for the main character.
