The first in her new trilogy involving three orphaned sisters left in the care of their tough-talking uncle Yank Morgan. A ladies' man with a penchant for gambling, Uncle Yank hasn't a clue what to do with three little girls, so he trains them to become major players at his Manhattan sports agency. Annabelle, the eldest, has become a powerhouse in the PR department, but her attraction to egocentric bad boys has proven to be a problem. After her latest boyfriend dumps her for an actress, Annabelle takes a personal vow of celibacy that lasts about as long as an ice cube in August when she meets her newest client, ex-football star Brandon Vaughn. Annabelle initially writes Brandon off as another handsome jock, but she soon discovers that he's different than the rest. He's building a lodge for kids with learning disabilities and, since someone seems intent on sabotaging his efforts, he needs positive publicity fast.

Annabelle was orphaned when she was 12 (her sisters were 10 and 8) and taken in by her bachelor uncle Yank (at first I thought this was a typo, it's not). Yank runs a sports agency and as adults, Annabelle and her sisters have expanded the agency to include PR for a variety of people. They are excellent at what they do.
Brandon is an ex-client of Yank's and approaches him again when he is having problems. Brandon is in the process of trying to build a resort with a dual purpose (cater to the wealthy for part of the year and help out children with educational issues the rest). Something is hindering the construction and putting him behind. Enter Annabelle.
Both characters have some issues (Annabelle dates the wrong guys; they use her & Brandon's parents haven't been as supportive of him as they should be & he was married before) which make trust difficult. This was okay. I did think the ending was rushed. The work-site sabotage was disappointing.

Great book! The way Carly Phillips writes it it's like you can see it happening. Good storyline, good detail, and for the most part the pace keeps moving.

great for readers who like sports with their romance. Nice back story with the sisters too.
