About the book:
After growing up
as an orphan, Millie Longfellow is determined to become the best nanny the East
Coast has ever seen. Unfortunately, her playfulness and enthusiasm aren’t
always well-received and she finds herself dismissed from yet another position.
Everett Mulberry
has quite unexpectedly become guardian to three children that scare off every
nanny he hires. About to depart for Newport, Rhode Island, for the summer, he’s
desperate for competent childcare.
At wit’s end with
both Millie and Everett, the employment agency gives them one last chance –
with each other. As Millie falls in love with her mischievous charges, Everett
focuses on achieving the coveted societal status of the upper echelons. But as
he investigates the suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of the
children’s parents, will it take the loss of those he loves to learn whose
company he truly wants for the rest of his life?
My review:
A historical
romance filled with mayhem!
I loved getting
to know Millie Longfellow. She is a young woman of great character that it
would be a pleasure to call friend. We met her in the first book of this series
and had a glimpse into her past in that story. Jen Turano has dome an
absolutely marvelous job in this book in developing this wonderful and loveable
character.
With such an
incredible heroine it would have been a crime to slack off when it came to
writing a hero for her. I’m very pleased that Jen stepped up to the challenge
and put just as much effort into making Everett Mulberry just as memorable as
Millie is.
I would be remiss
if I didn’t mention the wonderful matchmaking matrons, the truly evil villains,
and the delightfully mischievous children and animals. As with each of Jen’s
books I found plenty to make me laugh in this story.
If you are
looking for a rollicking fun romantic comedy, look no further. If you are looking
for an accurate depiction of life for high society New Yorkers in 1882, you should
probably look for another book.
