Shopping is Marisol Winston's passion. Her father owns a chain of home-improvement super-centers. It would be a dream come true if Marisol could open her own chi-chi home furnishings boutique someday, but she doesn't know how to approach her intimidating father about helping her finance it. Much to Marisol's surprise and dismay, there's an intervention. Marisol must agree to spend a few weeks in a shopaholic rehab center. Can she survive without her Jimmy Choos or missing the latest sale at the upscale designer mall? As part of the rehab process, Marisol must get a real job and the center places her in the home of Cash Connelly as a nanny/housekeeper to his three children. Marisol is immediately smitten with the children and strongly attracted to their deliciously hunky dad. Cash needs a nanny who "runs a tight ship." He has one last chance to be reassigned as quarterback to his old football team and can't have any distractions. But, oh, Marisol is way more than a distraction. Besides her short skirts and stilettos, she finger-paints shower curtains with the kids, serves them ice cream for breakfast and cooks pizza rolls and grilled cheese sandwiches as an entree for a dinner party. She's beautiful, she's unique and Cash is in trouble -- BIG trouble. His "hands off the nanny" policy is quickly disintegrating. Lisa Plumley always gifts her readers with delightful stories that are so much fun to read. But I have to admit, LET'S MISBEHAVE is one of my favorites. It's the most charming story, brimming with characters with warm hearts and bright spirits. The storyline is pure magic and the children will steal your heart. It doesn't have a life- changing lesson and that makes it all the more enjoyable. LET'S MISBEHAVE is a warmhearted, witty and wonderful read. You'll be highly entertained by this contemporary romantic comedy (picture Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan). It's a keeper. Enjoy!

SUMMARY

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...
