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&Js 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 shorts. 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... |
 RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS: 
LET'S MISBEHAVE by Lisa Plumely is fast-paced, funny and full of heart. Her characters are amusing, the story well-told and there's nothing not to like about this book. It is a delightful read.
When heiress Marisol Winston becomes the focus of an intervention by her friends and family, she finds herself a guest at an exclusive clinic in the middle of the Arizona desert. After weeks of shopaholic rehab, Marisol is deemed ready to deal again with the outside world... the place where malls, catalogs and her platinum credit cards meet. She is assigned to work as a nanny/housekeeper for Cash Connelly, a pro-football player who is staging a comeback of his own. Cash needs help with his six-year-old triplets, and together he and the unlikely nanny manage to find not only family harmony but some other things as well.
LET'S MISBEHAVE is a sexy, fun romp that is highly entertaining. A perfectly charming story, it shows that even the rich and famous aren't very much different from soccer moms—and dads—everywhere.
