If you are looking for a summer romance to expose you to new situations and remind you of how lucky you are, I can recommend scooping up THE NANNY PLAN. A student in a San Francisco university has had to work hard and break out of the mould just to be here. She's come from a Lakota reservation and her name is Trish Hunter. Due to her mother's having had nine children, she's had to raise too many babies to want any of her own. Her plan is to graduate and look for a respected job, spreading word as she does about the kids on the rez who need school books and pens.

Nate Longmire outgrew a tense family situation when he developed a photo share app and started his own tech firm. Now he's a billionaire, in Silicon Valley, but it hasn't brought him happiness. He's had to fight a lawsuit from a moneygrabbing former girlfriend and he feels that women are just after his wallet, not him. However he's not a bad guy, if you can get him alone - which nobody much does. Then a tragedy strikes and Nate is left guardian of an orphaned baby girl... with no idea how to care for her. The only plan he has in mind is THE NANNY PLAN.

There's plenty of humour as the two plans collide, reminding us that life is what happens while you're making other plans. Trish absolutely doesn't want to raise another baby, but Nate is holding little Jane all wrong, and feeding her wrongly, and hasn't slept in two weeks. She can't ignore a situation where she can help. Even if all she wanted was a charity donation. Trish is a really strong young woman who will win your admiration and she shows that you have to work at succeeding and overcome obstacles.

A definite attraction between the two people can't be acted upon, because it would be wrong for Nate to pressure a female employee, while Trish wants to get out of here after a month's work with her heart intact. We can speculate about how much is fantasy and how much reality but I was interested in the genuine hardships faced by women on the rez. I would have liked the story to take a trip to that location but we just get conversation about it from Trish's personal memories. Sara M Anderson has started from a friend's true story and created an entertaining and enlightening romance tale for women of today in THE NANNY PLAN. I'll be reading more of her works for sure.
