The Baxter sisters come from a long line of women with disastrous luck in love. But this summer, Sunshine and Margot will turn disasters into destiny…

As an etiquette coach, Margot teaches her clients to fit in. But she’s never faced a client like Bianca, an aging movie star who gained fame—and notoriety—through a campaign of shock and awe. Schooling Bianca on the fine art of behaving like a proper diplomat’s wife requires intensive lessons, forcing Margot to move into the monastery turned mansion owned by the actress’s intensely private son. Like his incredible home, Alec’s stony exterior hides secret depths Margot would love to explore. But will he trust her enough to let her in?

Sunshine has always been the good-time sister, abandoning jobs to chase after guys who used her, then threw her away. No more. She refuses to be “that girl” again. This time, she’ll finish college, dedicate herself to her job as a nanny, and she 100 percent will not screw up her life again by falling for the wrong guy. Especially not the tempting single dad who also happens to be her boss.


This is a story about two sisters who decide to change themselves for the better and not repeat the mistakes of the past. I enjoyed seeing these two sisters interact with each other. Each being the others biggest cheerleader. Margot is a etiquette coach and she bites of more than she can chew with Bianca. While she's trying to help Bianca she's also helping Alec Bianca's son open up. Alec has learned because of his mothers sometimes strange behavior to protect himself and to live a planned and quiet life until Margot walks in and makes him feel things he's locked out. Sunshine never sticks. She's a nanny and is great at it but leaves them abruptly for men. She wants to change that and find real love and get a degree and a live happily ever after. Declan is a widow with a young son. He finds himself attracted to Sunshine but good morals tells him he can't act on it since he's her boss. This was a complex story with lots of twists and turns. The author kept switching from one couple to the other which was at sometimes annoying because you would just got sucked in when it changed to the other sister. I guess that's what's supposed happen though. I was really rooting for both sisters to find their happy. Loved Declan and Alec even though at times Alec was annoying. A great summer beach read or backyard hammock.
