Dennis Murphy’s rambunctious seven-year-old twins swear he’s the best lawyer in Arlington, Connecticut. They don’t make his job easy, however. When the nanny he hires to watch the twins walks out on them one afternoon while Dennis is meeting with Gail Saunders, the opposing attorney in a libel case, Dennis is forced to bring his work home with him.Gail’s client is a Russian immigrant who’s had a … who’s had a few scrapes with the law in the past. She agrees to represent him, even if it means going up against Murphy and his prestigious, wealthy law firm, and even if it means she has to deal with his wild children once their nanny goes AWOL. Gail isn’t the sort to become all warm and fuzzy around children—especially imps like Sean and Erin Murphy. She’s missing the maternal gene, and the romantic gene as well. Just because Murphy is smart and funny and sexy as hell doesn’t mean she’s going to fall for him. She knows his seductive charms are merely tactics in his effort to win the libel suit.
Being the sister of one of the founders of the Daddy School, Gail believes Murphy could use a few lessons in how to be a better father. But she’s got a few things to learn, too, and Dennis Murphy might just be the man to teach her.

Pretty good book. I enjoyed reading this and look forward to checking out the others in the series.
Too much explicit sex . Wasn’t necessary. I skipped those pages.
Good book
Enjoyed reading
Not impressed. The father simply had sex on his mind for a female attorney. He loved his twins, and was glad to recently obtain full custody of them, but had little interest in disciplining them or teaching them common courtesy. I find it disappointing when kids are intelligent but speak inappropriately, and little is done to address it. I stopped reading a couple times, and finally skimmed to the end.
The author is well known, but this book just didn’t give me a good reading experience.
It was very lite reading and kept me laughing
The story was good. The main characters were not very likable.
I didn’t like it
Was a nice cute read. Sometimes you just want something fun to read and this book is it.
The two bratty kids kept me from enjoying this book. I didn’t think they were funny, I thought they were rude and bad mannered. The dad certainly needed to get the upper hand and get off his high horse about his two little darlings. I quit on this one.
It was ok. Kinda slow
cute premise, nice characters, fun read
I enjoyed this romantic novel. The characters were colorful.
The book had highs and lows. I didn’t find Gail the heroine likable and wasn’t convinced by the somewhat abrupt shift the Hero, Dennis, did from disliking her to being obsessed with her. The plot redeemed itself when Dennis wooed her and helped her get over her traumas, then it fell down by the story climax, when their argument and distancing seemed forced and immature.
Still, I loved Dennis. I love a Hero with contrasts and textures, and the author did an amazing job portraying him as this mixture of high-shot attorney and overwhelmed daddy. I loved the vivid and realistic descriptions of the messes in a house attacked by young children and really enjoyed the twins banters and crazy babbling–very true for kids. I definitely want to read the previous two books in the series.
Enjoyable read! Fast and entertaining!
I can understand the dilemma the father has with two spoiled 7 yr olds. The story kept me interested in the sometimes comical situations they put their father through.
I liked the Characters.
Too much sex
Change from the usual boy meets girl. The twins added to the story. Great quick read.
Cute story, easy little read.
