A review of In Good Company by Jen Turano

In Good Company is the second book in the series A Class of Their Own by Jen Turano. Although this book works well as a standalone novel, we are re-introduced to the characters of Everett Mulberry and Millie Longfellow.  Everett is a desperate man looking for a good nanny and Millie is a desperate woman trying to be a good nanny.  When their situations bring them together, what follows is a hilarious tale of mayhem, mystery, and matchmaking.  

I don't know how Mrs. Turano does it, but her characters get into some of the funniest and strangest scrapes that one could imagine.  This book follows a similar story line to some of her other books but yet is entirely different.  The characters' personalities really start to show as the story progresses. Both Millie and Everett were easy to identify with as they are trying to live up to expectations in society without realizing that what they needed was already available to them.  I very much enjoyed watching them grow and fall in love throughout the book.   

This is totally irrelevant to the review, but I enjoyed the fact that Ms. Turano mentioned both my favorite painter and one of my favorite authors in the book. This book is a great read for anyone who enjoys a historical romance with plenty of humor and romance.  I look forward to reading the next book in the series. 

*I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. My opinions are my own.*
