Let's Misbehave
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...

I loved this cute and sweet romance by Lisa Plumley!

Simple .. léger... amusant ☺

En voyant la couverture de ce roman, j’ai tout de suite été attiré par sa fraîcheur et ses couleurs pleines de pep’s! Je n’ai encore jamais été déçue avec la collection romance de milady et le synopsis me donnait vraiment très envie de me plonger dans sa lecture! Ni une, ni deux, je me suis plonger dans cette lecture avec l’idée que ce serai de la chick-lit simple et légère.
Nous faisons donc la connaissance de Marisol Winston une jeune femme accro au shopping et aux marques les plus prestigieuse. Pourtant, loin d’être totalement stupide elle souhaite mettre de l’ordre dans sa vie et d’ouvrir sa propee boutique de décoration de luxe. Sa famille et ses amies ne voient pas d’un très bon oeil son addiction au shopping et se mettent d’accord pour la mettre dans un centre de désintoxication. Elle va apprendre à grandir, a résister et surtout à ne pas résoudre ses émotions par le shopping. Lors d’un stage auquel elle ne s’attend pas du tout, elle va rencontrer trois adorables enfants auxquels elle va très vite s’attacher ainsi que leur père, Cash, un homme incroyable et modeste qui ne se rend pas compte qu’il est aussi beau que sexy…
Au niveau des personnages, j’ai beaucoup aimé Marisol et le fait qu’elle soit loin d’être superficielle ou stupide. C’est une jeune femme qui aime le shopping et le luxe mais qui garde malgré tout des valeurs ainsi qu’une grande générosité. Son séjour au centre de désintoxication se révèle être une véritable épreuve et je l’ai trouvé vraiment très drôle!! Cash est quand a lui un homme incroyable. Pour lui son corps est un outils pour son travail mais il ne semble absolument pas conscient de sa beauté et de son sex-appeal. Avec une femme telle que Marisol comme gouvernante, il aura toute les peines du monde à se maîtriser pour ne pas craquer sous son charme ce qui donne des scènes très drôle pour mon plus grand bonheur! Adam, le manager de Cash est un personnages qui m’a plu par son dévouement pour son protégé mais aussi son côté un peu papa poule prêt à tout pour le bonheur des autres. Bien sûr il ne faut pas oublié les trois adorables enfants Hannah, Emily et Jacob. Ces enfants ont vraiment un don pour ressentir les choses et comprendre mais en plus ils sont très attendrissant. Chacun de ses personnage possède un petit je ne sais quoi qui le rend attachant à souhait.
Le vocabulaire de ce roman est vraiment très simple puisqu’il est de langage courant et donc facilement accessible. La plume de l’auteur est à la fois fluide et pleine de fraîcheur. L’histoire est intéressante et les personnages tous très attendrissant. Je n’ai pas trouvé de longueurs ni de temps morts, bien au contraire. Une fois le roman commencé, j’ai eu beaucoup de mal à le reposer pour faire autre chose. La relation entre Marisol est Cash m’a énormément plu puisque tout n’était pas gagné d’avance, ils ont fait preuve de retenue et du affronter bien des soucis avant le dénouement final. Leurs caractères étaient totalement opposé et surtout, aucun des deux n’étaient du genre à se laisser marcher sur les pieds… Deux caractères explosifs, je peux vous dire que c’est quelque chose de très très intense. Marisol a été le petit grain de folie dans la vie et le sérieux de Cash. J’ai totalement adhéré à cette histoire et à ses personnages mais surtout, j’ai adoré le panel d’émotion que j’ai pu ressentir tout au long de ma lecture! Entre attendrissement, impatience, tristesse et grand bonheur. Que vous dire de plus, si ce n’est de vous précipiter pour acheter et lire ce superbe roman!
Pour conclure, c’est un coup de coeur pour cette romance qui m’a totalement séduite et pour ses personnages que je ne risque pas d’oublier de sitôt. Si vous aimez la romance, la chick-lit et des personnages hauts en couleurs, ce livre et fait pour vous alors jetez-vous dessus!

Marisol Winston est accro au shopping. Sa famille et ses amies lui tendent donc un piège pour l'obliger à participer à une cure de désintoxication. Après quelques semaines, elle doit réaliser la deuxième étape pour sa guérison : un stage en entreprise. Elle se retrouve nounou des triplés de Cash Connelly, ancienne star du football américain, ainsi que femme de ménage. La jeune femme, qui a toujours été servie, se retrouve à travailler pour les autres. Le plus difficile à gérer n'est pas celui que l'on pourrait croire. En effet, Marisol et les enfants s'entendent assez rapidement, mais c'est plus dur en ce qui concerne sa relation avec le séduisant papa.
C'est difficile de dire si on a aimé ou pas ce livre. Certains passages nous enchantent et nous font rire. On passe de bons moments en voyant Marisol essayer de dompter ses démons ou à lire les répliques qui fusent entre elle et Cash. Mais à d'autres, on ne voit pas bien où l'auteur veut en venir, les personnages deviennent pénibles ou carrément ennuyeux. Certains passages traînent même en longueur ou sont inutiles. On oscille donc entre la consternation et le plaisir de lire ce livre. J'ai personnellement lu en diagonale le début du livre, pendant la thérapie, tellement c'était inintéressant. Le personnage de Marisol n'est pas cohérent, même si on peut comprendre qu'elle soit tiraillée entre son envie d'achat compulsif pour se faire aimer et son côté petite fille gâtée, à qui tout le monde cède. Dans certaines situations, on doute même de son intelligence, alors qu'à d'autres, ses connaissances en décoration nous prouvent le contraire. Cash est mieux pensé et on accroche plus facilement à son personnage. Leur couple est un peu bizarre et touchant à la fois. On est vraiment entre deux impressions pendant tout le livre.
Au final, une romance pas très bien construite ce qui perd le lecteur à certains moments. Dommage, parce que le personnage de Marisol avait tout pour être vraiment passionnant.

14/20 - En bref, si au départ j'ai eu énormément de mal avec le caractère de Marisol, elle évolue énormément (même si elle continue ses bêtises) au contact de la famille Conelly. Cash par contre est parfait dans son rôle de joueur de football américain bougon, étant donné son passé il ne veut plus tomber amoureux mais malheureusement pour lui le destin (et beaucoup d'autres personnes) en ont décidé autrement. Une comédie romantique globalement sympathique !

Très léger et sympa, Marisol est adorable même si c'est une cruche, mais gentille et pleine de bonne volonté. C'est beaucoup mieux que Cœur fondant du même auteur.

A cute and fun romance!!! I enjoyed this story and the characters.

So we have an heiress who spends her days shopping (mostly for gifts) and gets sent to a recovery program. She does iffy in it and her work placement is to be a nanny/housekeeper to an ex (trying to be current) football player and his 6 year old triplets.
Marisol has felt inadequate most her life, which is why she showers people with gifts. Cash had a bad time when his wife threw him over for the replacement quarterback and then took just about every penny he had. They both have a lot of growing to do, and luckily there are 3 adorable and mischievous kids around to help.

This book was inoffensive but awful. Characters were incredibly inconsistent. No emotional depth.

Let's Misbehave is one of those books that gets better as it goes along. I really was not enjoy it at the start, I kept putting it aside, but by the end it was an okay read. I still didn't love it, but it was cute.
Marisol is a poor little rich girl who doesn't feel loved so she shops more than she should. She is always trying to buy people's approval through gifts and I really didn't like her. At the beginning of the book she annoyed me so much. The way she talked and just everything about her bugged me. Really I used it as a book to read at night when I couldn't sleep (instead of something I loved and would get into and then stay up way too late). Her personality just annoyed me.
I liked Cash in the story. He is a football player who had some problems and now is trying to get back into the pros. He has triplets who he is watching over the summer while his ex goes galavanting around with her new guy. He was so great with his kids. He is always trying to do the right thing and be a great dad.
When Cash needs a new nanny his ex mother-in-law recruits Marisol. As part of her shopaholics rehab they have to do a work program and she gets stuck in the middle of nowhere as Cash's nanny. So he has gone through 4 professional nannies already and hasn't been able to keep anyone. He doesn't really have many options left and he is not sure what he will do if Marisol doesn't work out.
Fortunately Maisol is magic and is instantly amazing with the kids! Yey her! Really it didn't make any sense. I totally buy that 4 pros couldn't handle the kids, but Marisol's child like wonder just won them over and they are perfect for her. Yep.
So right away Cash and Marisol are attracted to each other, and she wants to do something about it. Cash tries to stay away because for one thing she is his employee. It doesn't work too well though and they start having a happy little family. Yey.
Really as the book went on I started to like them together. Marisol wasn't as annoying as she was in the beginning, and Cash is good with her. By the end I thought it was an alright read, much better than I thought it would turn out. I still didn't love Marisol, but she was okay. They both have some issues to work through to get to their happily ever after and it it did get better as it went along.

Marisol Winston est une riche héritière qui occupe son temps en faisant du shopping. Elle adore faire des cadeaux et souffre du complexe de mésestime d’elle-même qu’elle masque avec des achats compulsifs.
Elle ne veut pas travailler avec son père dans la décoration pas ch��re et faute d’avoir un métier satisfaisant, elle joue le rôle de l’héritière fêtarde avec beaucoup d’applications. Jusqu’au jour où son père, ses amies et sa belle-mère décident que Marisol a besoin d’une cure de désintoxication.
Cure qui se compose d’un séjour dans un centre et d’un stage pratique. Stage qui est d’être la nounou de triplés âgés de 7 ans – qui ont épuisé pas mal de professionnelles – et de tenir la maison de Cash. Celui-ci essaye de retrouver sa place de footballeur professionnel.
Je n’avais pas du tout aimé « l’accro du shopping » et c’était avec une petite appréhension que j’ai commencé à lire cette histoire. Mais ce livre n’a rien à voir avec l’accro.
Marisol est une jeune femme pleine d’humour qui a eu une enfance très mouvementée et pallie ce manque d’amour par les achats doudous. Son séjour au centre est drôle et son arrivée dans la maison d’été de Cash est également hilarante.
Elle est pétillante, plein d’imagination et foncièrement gentille.
Cash est émouvant par son combat pour retravailler pour pouvoir avoir plus de droits de garde.
Les enfants sont drôles et attachants.
Cette histoire a été un très bon moment de lecture malgré quelques stéréotypes mais ça reste une histoire très agréable à lire.

Marisol Winston is an heiress to a fortune. In her early 30s, she is still a party girl, attracting the media and spending as if money were water. Her family and friends arrange for an intervention and check her into Dzeel to help her overcome her shopping compulsion. Part of her recovery is a work assignment. She is placed with Cash Connelly, a divorced father of three who needs a nanny/housekeeper for the summer while he works on re-entering his former profession: professional football.
In the beginning of the book (her time at Dzeel), Marisol comes across as a spoiled, unlikeable brat. But once she gets to the Connelly residence, she becomes a likeable, charming, fun person. The kids, who have gone through four nannies in two weeks' time, instantly take to her and act like angels. Their father is wildly attracted to her, but wants to concentrate on getting back into a high-paying career. (His ex-wife wiped him out in the divorce.)
Of course, Cash and Marisol fall in love, are blissfully happy until he decides she's the reason he can't concentrate on his career and dumps her.
All in all, a cute story.

I picked this book up on a whim at the library and am so glad I did! The characters were so likable - Marisol is hilarious, she constantly had me giggling at her antics, and through all her flaws, she really is a wonderful character and someone that if I knew in real life, I'm sure I couldn't help but want to be friends with! The triplets all are adorable, and their three very unique little personalities make me wish I could be their nanny. Of course, their daddy makes me wish I could be their nanny too! Cash sounds like one FINE hunk of football playin' man!
There were definitely a few steamy scenes, so if you're looking for that, you've got it. And the attraction was super strong between Marisol and Cash, so that keeps you entertained throughout the book, not to mention wondering what crazy silliness Marisol will come up with next. Overall, it was just a really fun book, that I found highly amusing.
I will definitely be checking out more Lisa Plumley books ASAP!

A fun, sweet summer romance with an old-fashioned,simpler feel (Yes, it originally came out in 2007, but that was not that long ago!) Marisol is upbeat and fun, a generous and appealing nanny to three adorable, well-written 6-year-old triplets.Sure, she had this job as part of a shopping rehab her dad forced her to do to keep her trust fund, but she was appealing and became more and more genuine and likeable as she found her purpose nurturing the kids.Cash retired from the NFL due to injuries and the need to spend more time with his kids after his divorce.He is a great dad and shares a sizzling hot chemistry with Marisol that they both try to fight. Of course the inevitable happens and they fall in love, and the journey was one of the most enjoyable reads I've had in a while. I've always enjoyed Lisa Plumley, and she didn't disappoint here at all. I highly recommend this book for a great fun distraction, especially at the very low e-book price.

A hilarious and unique book about a spoiled rich girl who knows nothing more than how to party, who gets a unique lesson in life and love. She learns quickly that life is about more than shopping and partying. The book has slow start but is a fun and quick read.

This book was OK. It had a cute premise, and was funny. The author has a knack for funny dialogue. Where this book fell flat for me was the character development. I never felt connected with the characters. I think the author needed to give the character's backstories earlier in the book, so we connect with them and care about them. That didn't happen for me, most notably with the hero. So although the book was funny, it wasn't enough for me to overcome the lack of connection with the characters.

This was a really good story. This book was hard to put down. A great story about love the second time around.
Martial is an heiress with too much time and money. Her family gets concerned about her spending habits. Rehab. She then gets a job as a nanny. She meets Cash and his three children Hannah Jacob and Emily and their dog Dump. This is a great story of love and learning who were are. Knowing we need one another and knowing who were are. Just a good all around fun read

I loved this book.. The characters are great... Cash is the ideal man to me... he wants everything to be so right for his kids that he sacrifices his own happiness or a least tries to... Marisol is too funny yet a little sad at some points.... she is a shopaholic who really just wants to buy her family and friends love... who hasn't felt like that before??? But the kids are so funny... A couple of their stunts made me laugh out loud since i have a kid their age.... great book!!!

More than I bargained for
Well aside from misspellings or misused words there were some very steamy parts that took me by surprise,not for the young. I skipped over some of those but all in all a very captivating story. True love really makes a difference. Just not sure how I ended up with this book as I lean towards Christian Fiction or resources. I laughed and I cried and overall I'd recommend it just not to anyone not married....

Witty wonderful and fun
The story was moving and fun. Seeing how Marissa had to learn about reality without her families money was great. Becoming a nanny housekeeper was more then she expected. She handles the job well and finds love and happiness without money. The children and her have fun even when things got rough. Marissa helping cash get media attention turned out bad but in the end it was a blessing for cash. Great read love to read more.

Struggled to finish
I'm not sure if this was supposed to be funny or just really stupid. I'm leaning toward the latter.
The six year old kids were sometimes more mature than the 30yr old adults.
The characters were inconsistent, h was supposed to be a flighty, socialite shopaholic but also really smart, organized and great with kids. Really? It was tough to finish without shaking my head.
The cover also had nothing to do with the book.

J'ai trouvé cette lecture sucrée et l'histoire d'amour très mignonne ! Vraiment une bouffée d'air pur. L'héroïne est sexy et rieuse, elle met tout le monde dans sa poche, sauf peut-être le sportif sûr de son charme et qui tente de résister (dans ses actes, mais pas en pensées !). La romance se veut joviale et enchanteresse. On passe un vrai, bon moment. Pas prise de tête.

THE STORY LINE WAS KINDA SILLY BUT VERY DIFFERENT A SHOPAHOLIC AND AN EX-FOOT BAL PLAYER DIVORCED DAD OF ADORABLE TRIPLETS. SIGH! I KNOW ALL THIS SOUNDS SAPPY BUT I LOVED IT, SO HILARIOUS. REMINDED ME A LITTLE OF GOLDIE HAWN IN THE MOVIE “OVERBOARD”. THE SEX SCENES WERE MILDLY DESCRIPTIVE BUT STILL VERY HOT. ;D

Shopaholic intervention
Cute, funny love story with laugh out loud movements. Rich girl, football player trying for a comeback, a set of triplets and an old German shepherd round out the key players. Don't let the dog on the cover fool you, it has nothing to do with the story. A nice summer read

This story was extremely cute. It was a nice change from the hard core sex romance books. My only problem with this book was the lack of transition between the locations and characters. One second we are at a location with Marisol, and in the next paragraph we are back to Cash at a different location.

Cute, Funny, and Sweet!
I wasn't expecting a book that could make me cry and laugh all at the same time. I recommend this to any hopeless romanticism out there that need some light-hearted diversion to cheer them up. The characters are unique, and wonderful, and the dog is sweet, too. I really enjoyed this book. Thanks Lisa Plumley!

Das erste Kapitel ließ mich Schlimmes befürchten, aber ein paar Kapitel später ist mir Marisol richtig ans Herz gewachsen. Sie hat dafür gesorgt, dass ich das Buch gerne gelesen habe und mir die relativ durchschnittliche Liebesgeschichte nicht so wichtig war.

I usually love her books aNd over the top characters, but the heroine didn't ring true to me. She was entertaining, but I had a hard time understanding what drove her. Love the way she wrote the 6 yr old triplets. This was a fast, fun read though.
