There were some great bits about this - the writing and the humour. And I liked the premise. But I was quite disappointed with how little we ever really know about the leading man of our story. He just seems quite 2 dimensional. And I never really felt there was any great depth of feeling between them.I was also disappointed that we didnt hear anything more from the children towards the end of the book considering they had featured in a large portion of the story until that point. It kind of felt a bit like a rushed finish. So for that reason I can only really give it 3 stars. But I like Jane Costello's writing and read a lot of her books when I was a bit younger. I read a few Costello's books and this one is the best one by far. I am a fan of Brit humor and the book did not disappoint. It's a story about English woman who got stud up at the wedding so, to put some distance between them, she takes a babysitting job in US. The problem arise the moment she comes out of the plane-the agency changed the family she was suppose to go to. Of course, her new family is a bit different. The kids are great but the dad...hot stuff all the way. Widower and angry, fooling around to get buy the grief. And then she comes in, clumsy, slightly frustrated, great with kids but she found her self attracted to the angry player. The book is funny, filled with great characters, aside from the two main ones, warm, endearing at times, but still keeping it real. Great, great read!
