Turn My World Upside Down

Romance Contemporary

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.

SUMMARY

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.
