Charming Sequel With Interesting Characters :)
This book started a little slow for me, but in true Turano fashion the story charmed its way into my full attention. DID NOT like Everett Mulberry at the start, but he SLOWLY won his way into my approval and I loved how he became the family man he was meant to be :)Could. Not. Stand Caroline Dixon from start to finish. Worst character EVER! It didn't help that I've known women like her in real life so that made her more tangible to me. I loved it when Millie hits her in the head with a tennis ball, even though it was an accident. Caroline calls the children little monsters, deviants, and a burden to Everett's life throughout the story. At first I thought she was just a spoiled brat, but that it wasn't her fault since she had been raised to be like one. However, she is much worse than that, but it was good she was a wicked character because she helped make the plot more exciting. Loved it also when the peacocks SHE bought gave her a scare, so pitiful.Really loved Lucetta in this story AND Everett's parents. Dorothy and Lester were wonderful in telling Everett how sorry they were for not being there for him during his childhood and how they had found their faith in God after being inspired by another family. They were minor characters in the story, but a perfect addition to everything going on. Also LOVED the staff and how they defended/protected Millie. Abigail was also wonderful, but her matchmaking attempts were a little annoying at times (did the ladies REALLY need a tiara for the ball??). Still love her, but no need to meddle all the time.It was also a nice touch that the puppies in the story were from the adorable dog in After A Fashion.One of my fave parts of the story is Millie and her love of words, always carrying around a dictionary. I think the dictionary got ruined at one point so Everett would help her use the proper words, so delightful!The children were the heart and soul of this story.....Elizabeth, Rose and Thaddeus. They were scheming, clever, precious, sweet, hurting children who just needed assurances that they would be loved and not sent off to boarding school. REALLY enjoyed the mystery behind their parents' deaths and how all of it was resolved. They made me laugh and cry more than once :)Looking forward to the conclusion of this series and what will happen next with Lucetta, Turano knows how to charm her readers with these stories!! :)

Great Literature? NO Hysterically funny at times? YES
A very cute story which is hysterically funny at times and a truly enjoyable read. I really appreciate reading a well-crafted book as there are no annoying spelling, grammar, or punctuation problems here! For this genre, it's definitely a 4 1/2 star, but I have to save those 5 star ratings for the truly sublime pieces of enduring literature. I will be reading more from this author.

Delightful Book!
In Good Company is a delightful book. It is entertaining and fun to read. The nanny with unconventional means of dealing with children. Who would not want to read it. There is adventures galore. Jen Turano did not disappoint in this book. I enjoy reading her works and will continue to look forward to what she produces.I received this book from the Book Club Network in exchange for my honest opinion.

I couldn't wait to start Millie's story!
Mrs. Hart stays true to form and in her meddling and Millie does no less. Her good intentions never seem to turn out as you'd expect, not ever entirely her fault either. I loved watching her find her place to belong.

Delightful
This book had me laughing so hard from the beginning to the end which caused quite a few looks from other passengers on my cross country flight. Milly was truly a delight. She makes me want to carry a dictionary with me at all times. I love that I have much in common with her for, you see, I mix words up all the time also. This is one book I couldn't put down. It had so many wonderful characters, including a few villains thrown in for good measure. I have found a new favorite author, and I can pretty much guarantee you will also! I can't wait to read Lucetta's story....

Her books always make me laugh!
I love Jen Turano books! This one was fun and exciting with lots of lovable characters! Just like her other books the witty dialogue is the key to a great story and fun plot twists! It's not all fluff though there are adventures and serious exploration of class prejudice and societal justice!

Her methods are unorthodox but very effective as she tames the children with wit and love.
