**THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED **
Synopsis:
Nancy
Edith Carrington-Chambers was born into the right family, studied at the
best
schools, befriended the popular crowd, dressed to the nines, and married
the
ideal man in Todd Chambers. But a year into her marriage, she realizes
the dream house she built with Todd is more of a tacky nightmare.
Unable to live there a moment longer, Nancy
escapes to the elegant apartment owned by her family in San
Francisco's posh Pacific Heights. Taking a break from her once flawless
storybook marriage, Nancy dedicates herself to her event planning
business,
Froth, and hires the assistant she has always coveted: a gorgeous,
impeccably
groomed, gay, British man, Derek.
While
Nancy is busy preparing for San Francisco society’s most
exclusive fundraiser, her eccentric cousin flits off to Greece—and
without any warning leaves her precocious four-year-old daughter Eugenia
in
Nancy’s care. With Derek’s help, Nancy is able to make a new life for
herself and Eugenia. But Nancy can’t
help worrying that she's becoming too attached to the girl… and far too
attracted to her assistant. And
at the moment that should be Nancy's biggest success, her world comes
crashing
down.

Review: I loved this book from the absolute beginning! I read this in 2 sittings! I lived in the San Francisco area for about 10 years and many of the locations in the book brought back happy memories! I loved that the story was not pat- people are flawed and so are Coopersmith's characters. She takes the reader on Nancy's path understanding that perfection isn't all it seems to be with a firm hand. Along the way you will find yourself smiling at the situations Nancy finds herself in. If you have, or have had, a kindergartener then you'll recognize many situations and find yourself laughing and nodding your head alot! I found myself laughing out loud quite a few times (hubby can verify!). The love story was unique and kept the book interesting! At the end of the book, you feel happy and hoping for a sequel! If you're looking for another good summer beach read- this is it!!
As a tease, you can read a preview of Chapter One at the Simon and Schuster website!
And check out this post on her blog for PICTURES of the places in the book! SO COOL!
