Not For You
3By 777sailsI received a complimentary copy of this book and I am voluntarily reviewing it. While this is a part of a series, you don’t have to read the prior ones. I had a hard time with this story. I normally devour Ms. Shay’s work this one fell flat to me. I read a lot of Advanced Review Copy books. Some authors leave some mistakes in them on propose to help prevent piracy. This copy was full of errors. There were times when I was able to figure out the meaning of the sentence (and paragraph) or the correct word that it should have been. Here there were times when I would just have to skip sections as they just didn’t make sense. I have been looking forward to this one and I was sadly disappointed. For a strong female protagonist, Andraya fell flat. She was a push-over to me. As for Ben, well he was a disappoint as well. He goes on a date that he really doesn’t want but goes to Andraya’s afterwards. Heck no! I had to force myself to finish this hoping it would get better.Not For You
4By Jen G FARC for honest review with no compensation 4.5 stars Not For You is book 4 in the President’s Daughters series by Kathryn Shay and up next is Andraya, (twin to Annalise from book 1) and Ben Moretti. While each book is a standalone reading them in order let’s you see how close knit the family. Andraya and Ben both teach at the Marcelo Schools in Casarina, Italy and where she meets and teaches Ben’s twin children, Meli and Mattie. Lots is happening…new school, anger issues, abandonment, trust issues, attraction, romance, overcome the past and so much more. Also catching up with others from the past books! Ready for the next book in this series!!Great Story
5By romancelvrAndraya Mainwaring, one of exPresident James Mainwarings daughters is a teacher in Cesarina. She meets and falls in love with a fellow teacher. However he is a divorced father of two of her students. This is primarily their story with lots of problems and help from other members of the Mainwaring family.Compassionate
4By GrinandstampitWhat an interesting 4.5 star story. It’s a complicated romance. Ben and Andraya are truly attracted to each other but Ben’s life is complicated. He has self doubt and his children have significant issues as a result of their mother leaving them at a young age. Andraya is truly a sensitive and compassionate woman. I don’t think I could be as patient with Meli (Ben’s daughter) as she is. The characters shine in this drama and Jim and Karen Manwaring once again bring balance to a child’s life. I love this family.Good story
5By 37KarenAnother great story in the President’s Daughters series. This one takes place in Italy where Andraya is a teacher at a private progressive school. She and fellow teacher, Ben Moretti, share an attraction but he comes with baggage. He has been greatly hurt as have his children by a failed marriage and personal losses. Together they work through his problems and help to make his children feel more secure. The portrayal of teenage problems is well done. I enjoyed this book and look forward to the final book in this series.Not For You
5By ewhite2003Sunbathing on private property, someone took pictures of her, and soon the school she taught at, had them posted. A story of pranks, hurts and the love one has for these young teens. Two teachers getting together for a project, learning they can love again. Delightful heartwarming plot, with these young teens as we read, Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion
