A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

In Good Company (A Class of Their Own #2) - Jen Turano

This is the second book in the series A Class of Their Own.  The first one is After a Fashion.

Millie’s been dismissed from yet another nanny position until she runs into Everett in front of the employment agency.  He’s not keen on hiring her, knowing that she’s somewhat peculiar and doesn’t think she’d be suited to taking care of his rambunctious wards.  Unfortunately, those same children have run off yet another nanny and he has little choice.

Millie ends up taking the job after some prodding and finds herself in a battle of wits with the three children.  Add to that the woman Everett is intended to marry finds Millie’s presence unbearable and Millie finds herself in an uphill battle to try and keep her job.  She knows the children needs her, though, so she does her best to stick it out.  She’s attracted to Everett, but he’s a horrible snob and would never consider her as anything more than the nanny, so she’s determined to resist her feelings.  Also, Everett is starting to question his choice in ladies, but he tells himself that Caroline is the logical choice.

This book is definitely worth reading.  I don’t remember laughing out loud this much while reading a book in quite a while.  Millie is a wonderful character and the kids and the schemers are a hoot.  Yes, I said a hoot.

Next up in the series, we’ll get to find out what happens to Lucetta in Playing the Part.  The characters from the first book are mentioned, but they’re in England, so you can read this one alone if you want and won’t be lost.  I look forward to reading more and heartily recommend this book.  Good Book!

*I received a copy of this book from Bethany House through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
