    Recommended Read

    I enjoyed Perfectly Good Nanny, mostly because the characters are so multi-dimensional. Carina has lost so much, but she¿s willing to take a chance on a new life. Brock knows he¿s struggling to do everything, and lets himself be open to accepting help. Even the children, Maddie especially, aren¿t shallow. Maddie tore at my heart when she said she wished she didn¿t have to watch Tate so much. I wondered how many other little girls feel exactly that way. The strongest point of this book is the way Ms. Jager has written such wonderful characters. The reader can¿t help but become involved in their lives, and are drawn right into the plot. There are no real surprises, but there don¿t need to be any for it to be an enchanting read. I found Perfectly Good Nanny to be a completely pleasant way to pass an afternoon. Good job, Ms. Jager!

    Great read!

    Perfectly Good Nanny was wonderful. The story has you teary eyed at one point and laughing the next. I enjoyed the personalities of all the characters. They seemed realistic and likable. Adding plenty of dimension to an already wonderful storyline. The authors descriptions of rural living, and the versatility of opinions about the beauty of an area rang true to rural communities I know. I would recommend this book to anyone.
