Bryan Manley and his brothers, Liam and Sean, are
having their biweekly poker game, this time with their
sister Mary-Alice. Mac beats them at their own game and
extracts four weeks of labor from each of them working as
maids for Manley Maids. And wouldn't you know, complete
with Manley Maids uniforms not so likely for men.
Bryan is
every woman's heart throb. A famous actor, he has a
following of paparazzi and is on the cover of all the
important magazines and the most sought after hunk of a
male specimen. Bryan's four weeks is to be indentured to
the
Hamilton household. What kind of job is that for a man
voted the next Sexiest Man Alive on the magazine covers in
the supermarkets? He has been hired by two friends of Beth
Hamilton's to help her out.
When the door opened for his first day, the stunning
woman standing there takes his breath away, but....she's
married! He finally finds out that the Mr. Hamilton was a
pilot and killed two years ago. Bryan takes his
responsibility seriously, including the five children; Jason
fourteen years old, Kelsey twelve , bickering twin boys
Mark and
Tommy, the middle children, and five year old Maggie.
For a
maid his boundaries certainly aren't restricted. The
Hamilton Tornado Sherman, their ornery dog, a cat and
hamsters keep Bryan doing everything but housework.
Before he knows it the house is full of all the kids'
friends along with their mothers, swooning over the
gorgeous movie star.
Brian could have any woman in the
world he wants, but it's the dedicated mommy that has his
heart beating. Avoiding their attraction to each other and
public scrutiny, carrying their feelings any further just
won't be the best thing for the kids. They've already been
in the lime light too much because of the accusations
against their father surrounding the plane crash.
Realizing the kids were beginning to look at Bryan too much
as a father image, it breaks Beth's heart when she feels
the need to fire him before the allotted time is up.
Future with this man could not happen because of the effect
it could have on her children with all Bryan's publicity.
Bryan has to return to his life as a celebrity knowing he
has lost the true love of his life.
Every time I pick up a book by Judi Fennell, I know
that I have to have plenty of time for reading as I
absolutely will not be able to put it down until I have
finished every single page. Judi Fennell has such a
heartwarming and colorful way of creating, that there
isn't a reader alive that won't love her stories. She
packs her stories full of sexual tension, imagination,
humor and just plain romance. WHAT A WOMAN NEEDS is the
second book in
this terrific series. I can't wait until the next one
comes out. I can't say enough about this author and her
tales and I will be the first in line for the continuation

fortune, not a repeat of his penny-pinching “normal”
childhood. But a bet is a bet, so he agrees to play maid for

research for his next role, and then resume his life in the
spotlight.
After her husband’s death and the publicity surrounding it,
all Beth needs is a quiet, normal life for herself and her
children. She never expected a new Prince Charming to show
up at her door, let alone as the new maid. But when the
paparazzi follow, Beth is sure of one thing: Bryan has to
go.
Then flirtation turns into seduction, and Bryan needs to
convince Beth he’s more man than maid—or an actor playing a
maid. Because this latest gig as the love of Beth Hamilton’s
life just might be the role of a lifetime
