Jo Marconi has her hands full. Both her sisters are out on
maternity leave and her father is away on a cruise, so Jo
has to take care of her young half-brother and pacify her
ultra-Italian grandmother, while running Marconi
Construction on her own. She sure doesn't need sexy Cash
Hunter coming on to her. She's steadfastly given him the
cold shoulder for months -- even though it's been tough.
She's been on a diet for too long and he looks finger-
lickin' good.
This book is Ms. Child's latest installment of the Marconi
family from Chandler, California. It's the story of Jo, the
third and older sister of Mike and Sam Marconi. This story
of two hard-headed, no nonsense people meant for each other
is a good book for a day at the beach or an afternoon in
the hammock. I enjoyed TURN MY WORLD UPSIDE DOWN very much.
A good read.
Josefina 'Jo' Marconi's world just shifted out of orbit.
Both of her sisters are pregnant, she's facing finals in
her quest to at last get her college degree, the man who
traumatized her in college is running for a Senate seat,
and she has to move back into the family home and watch
over the boy whose very existence shattered her nice little
world. Ten-year-old Jack is the product of an affair her
father had while her mother was dying of cancer. Ever since
Jo found out about this, she and her father have been
walking a wide berth around each other. As if that wasn't
enough complication, Cash Hunter--the man known as "The
Woman Whisperer"--has moved back to town. He has a
reputation: once a woman sleeps with him, she's completely
satisfied, and she immediately heads off to save the world.
As Jo becomes more and more interested in Cash, she learns
that he's determined not to sleep with any woman he wants
to stick around--especially not Jo. And Jo becomes just as
determined to seduce him and prove that she's the one woman
who will stay by his side. Together, Jo and Cash have to
teach Jack and each other the true meaning of family and
trust.
