Poor
Millie. She was dismissed from another
nannying position, and in attempting to secure a new opportunity, runs into
Oliver Addleshaw’s friend Everett Mulberry.
Everett was in desperate need of a nanny for his three young wards, but
knowing of Millie’s many previous childcare mishaps, did not want her to care
for the children. However, nannies were
pouring out of his house like a sieve, so, in desperation, he employs Millie to
watch the children as they take a summer trip to Newport, Rhode Island, with
Everett’s lady-friend, Caroline Dixon.
Millie
is an energetic, fun-loving young lady, with a real heart for children. She has wisdom to understand them, and is an
advocate for her new charges. Raised in
an orphanage, she is also determined to overcome her lack of education, and
always tries to improve herself by reading and learning new words. She even keeps a dictionary in her
pocket. This ensures some laugh-out-loud
dialogue! Everett, however, is
preoccupied with being a part of the high society social scene, and appeasing
Caroline.
As
a result of Millie’s influence, Everett begins to get to know and appreciate
the children, and to question the values and attitudes of the company he keeps.
There
is no shortage of adventures and mishaps with Millie around, which makes this a
fun book to read. There is also
suspense, and, of course, romance.
The
second of Jen Turano’s A Class of Their Own series, this lighthearted novel is
sure to delight its readers.
I
received a copy of this book from the author/publisher in exchange for my
honest review, which I have given.
