    About this ebook

    Twenty-three-year-old Jo Green knows that if she has to spend one more night in ultra-provincial Niblet-Upon-Avon she'll go completely bonkers! So she answers an ad in the paper, bids her devoted boyfriend Shaun adieu, and heads off to the big city. With a new job that offers excitement; a cool car; and her own suite with a TV, DVD player, and a cell phone, how can she go wrong?

    Then she meets . . . the Fitzgeralds -- Dick and Vanessa and their unruly brood of rugrats who have suddenly been entrusted into Jo's care. There's eight-year-old "psycho-babe" Cassandra; bloodthirsty Zak, the six-year-old Terminator; and timid little Tallulah.

    So what else could go wrong? How about the arrival of Dick's children from his first marriage: teenage Toby and (gulp!) all-grown-up-and-very-nicely-at-that Josh the accountant? And now that she has to temporarily share her room with Josh, Jo's head is really in a spin -- because with her hometown beau still in the picture and a sexy possibility sleeping just a foot away, life has suddenly gotten very complicated indeed!

      Splashing around in the water, the beach was a normal outing. With my two brothers running around Swansea Beach, my mum, Agatha*, now 53, and dad, Carl, now 55, watched us from a distance. We’d tend to go to the seaside quite a lot, and at age four,

      Is a nice light story. Is very well write and you can spend a nice time reading it. You have fun and you entertain yourself. I read it to enjoy an easy reading for the summer. If you do not want to think this is the perfect book.
    • 4/5
      Not as good as The Nanny Diaries, which I thoroughly enjoyed, but this was great from an 'British' perspective.
    • 4/5
      A fun love story about a nanny who saves a 'crazy' family from itself and falls in love in the process.
    • 3/5
      Easyread chicklit if you don't want to think too much about what you are reading. Nice cute story and a lot of love, but maybe the book is a bit too long?
