The relationship between Rylan and Beth develops very organically. At the opening of NO ONE LIKE YOU, Beth is just hired as his personal assistant. One of the reasons Rylan hires Beth is that she isn't the type of woman he's normally physically attracted to. Kate Angell creates a sexy love story with substance. I love the pacing in this romance. The friendship that develops between Rylan and Beth early on and the slowly simmering attraction is delicious.

I like having the story told from both points of view. As with other books in this series, the characters really make this story. Both Rylan and Beth are likable and complex characters. The supporting characters like Rylan's teammates, family, and dogs are fabulous as well and add additional layers to this story that make it so enjoyable.

Beth's duties include managing just about everything in Rylan's very busy life and taking care of his four beloved dogs. In some ways, when reading NO ONE LIKE YOU, I felt like the situation with Beth coming in and caring for Rylan's dogs is similar to a housekeeper coming in to take care of a home involving a single dad and his children. Rylan's dogs -- Atlas, Rue, Oscar, and Nathan -- are important main characters and just as lovable as real children. The relationship that Beth develops with the dogs is as adorable as the one the dogs have with each other.

NO ONE LIKE YOU is a perfect example of why I adore the Barefoot William Beach series by Kate Angell -- it's the perfect blend mix of sexy and sweet, amazing characters, and fun stories. This series is highly addictive brain candy for the soul. I eagerly await the next installment in this always entertaining series.
