JIll Mansell is a master of the cute, fun romance, and this latest is no exception.

The book is the tale of Lainey, who after losing her job, teams up with her gay best friend Kit to present themselves as a housekeeping couple for a dream job. Once in the job, Lainey finds herself very attracted to her employer's adult stepson.

The book has several smaller side plots filled with charm and character, and I really enjoyed this comforting read.

I always look forward to Jim Mansell's books. She has a deft touch with dialogue and humor and the romance is fun and sweet. My only complaint would be that I felt there were too many side plots in this particular book, and that kept me from being interested in all the characters.

Thanks to the author, publisher, and www.NetGalley.com for my ARC.

If you find yourself Bob the mood for a light read full of delightful characters there a few authors writing that perfect "beach read.". Jill Mansell is one of them, and this book will not disappoint.

I like Jillan Mansell books. However, I found myself skipping through arts of this novel. Scenes and dialogue felt presictable.

Another excellent book from Jill Mansell, this is a great weekend read for someone wanting something fun and light to read. It does seem like Jill is maturing in her writing and her stories have more substance in them. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to something warm and fuzzy to read.

Lainey and Kit are starting new jobs “taking a rambunctious family in hand”, but they have no idea what they have walked into. Every member of this family seems to be having some sort of crisis and all seem incapable of handling their problems. This, of course, is where Lainey and Kit are supposed to step in, but they soon find themselves swamped by the overpowering, if well-meaning family. This is a chaotic comedy with a few too many characters to follow, but is still an enjoyable, forget everything else kind of read
