About the Book
Olive Kentworth has
spent her life hiding her interest in architecture, even though she
pores over architectural books and sketches buildings. When she accepts a
job on a home expansion, it's only because her cousin Amos agrees to
pose as the builder. To further hide her involvement, Olive takes a
position as a nanny--not knowing that she'll be working for her idol,
Joplin's leading architect, widower Maxfield Scott.
Maxfield is
intrigued by his new nanny--she makes his home and his life bearable
again. His work, on the other hand, is a disaster. An untrained builder
is remodeling a completed project of his. What's worse, Maxfield's
current client wants changes to his plans because of that builder's
work.
As the architectural one-upmanship heats up, Olive's
involvement becomes harder to hide. Will the relationship between her
and Maxfield survive, or will they both miss out on building something
for their future? (Goodreads)
My Thoughts
What a fun book! This series does not have to be read in order and this book could be read as a stand alone. I really enjoyed this book because Olive's personality just made me smile. Maxfield finally won me over even though he made some choices earlier in the book I didn't love. I love the architectural tidbits and rivalry on building and design. I think what I loved the most was reading the history side of things by the author. As with all of Jennings novels there are some hilarious scenes that made me giggle. There is also more depth in this book that I appreciated and really showed character growth at the end. This is a lighthearted and fun read that you will enjoy!
Four Stars.
