Let's Misbehave

By Lisa Plumley

Book Overview

With no skills besides scoring the perfect stilettos, maxing out her credit card, and partying till dawn, Marisol Winston is about to get a lesson in the real world--and in love. . . After years of perfecting her party-girl image, Marisol wants to open an L.A.-based deluxe boutique. Unfortunately her father refuses to foot the bill until she agrees to do a stint in shopaholic rehab. Surely she can survive a few weeks without Dior, right? But part of Marisol's anti-retail remedy entails getting a real job as a nanny/housekeeper in Podunkville, Arizona. Suddenly she's knee-deep in PB & J and dirty laundry, surprised to find herself just a teensy bit smitten with her three sticky-fingered charges--and their deliciously distracting Dad (even if he does wear discount denim). . . Quarterback Cash Connelly has one last shot at being re-signed to the pros, which means he needs a nanny who runs a tight ship. Marisol seems to know way more about Tiffany's than T-ball, and she has more miniskirted sex appeal than is strictly necessary for laundering jockey shirts. But his kids seem positively smitten. Well, who wouldn't love a woman who serves up ice cream for breakfast? Now if only Cash can find a way to stick to his strict hands-off-the-nanny policy. . .

Lets Read this Book

This is one of the best books I've read in a long time. I must confess that I was worried in the beginning with all the talk of shopping and name dropping. I am not a fan of books that describe the heroines cloths by designer. Anyway, the first few chapters were slow, but the book soon sucked me in. I adored Cash and Marisol broke my heart. The triplets were beyond cute and were wonderfully written. My only complaint would be that the cover has nothing to do with the actual story. It's very confusing. The only dog was Dump, an ancient German Shepard who I also loved. I really can't say enough good things about this book and recommend it to anyone. It is by far the best I've read by Ms. Plumley.

Sexy romantic comedy

Shopaholic heiress Marisol Winston thinks she's going on a shopping spree in Arizona with her step mom, only to be brought to a rehab clinic for an intervention. When it's time to find a job, she is sent to be a nanny to former Phoenix Scorpions QB, Cash Connelly. Cash retired to spend more time with his family and mend his marriage. Unfortunately, his ex took up with a teammate and now they are divorced. His last chance for football glory is to get back onto the team and go through the grueling summer camp. Marisol is like no other nanny his triplets have run off. She has fun and plays with the children, while making his blood pressure rise. Can he successfully get back on the team, closer to his kids and into the arms of his sexy nanny without losing his sanity? Plumley's latest is a charming romantic comedy with a great duo and a funny set of triplets that'll tug at your heartstrings. Marisol has never had a real childhood and her stint as Patricia Pan makes her realize all that she missed out on. Plumley can always be counted on to pen an engaging romantic farce, this one is just charming!

Marisol Winston has been kidnapped and taken to a Dzeel¾a rehabilitation center. She is a shopaholic.

amusing contemporary romance

After years of partying, the only skill Marisol Winston has is how to spend money. However, she decides to change her image so she asks her usually compliant daddy to invest in her opening of a Los Angeles deluxe boutique. Her father offers his beloved but wastrel offspring the capital if she meets his stipulation of checking into shopaholic rehab clinic in the Arizona desert. Marisol readily agrees figuring how hard can it be to go "designer-less" for a couple of weeks; millions do it their whole lives? However, after weeks of shopping detox, part of rehab calls for real work. Marissol is assigned as a housekeeper where she is to take charge of an alien species, three preadolescent children. To her surprise she finds herself attracted to this anti-designer species and even more shocking the always soiled six year old triplets seem to like her. Even more so she desires their dad, quarterback Cash Connelly who has thrown a Hail Mary pass back to the pros, but needs a nanny to watch the kids although he keeps fantasizing the out of place newcomer will spend quality time alone sacking him. This is an amusing contemporary romance starring a spoiled but likable female and a hunk in need of a practical nanny. The triplets become matchmakers between the unlikely pair. Thus havoc is the norm as readers will enjoy this humorous lighthearted desert frolic due to the strong characterizations. Harriet Klausner
