Lisa Plumley has a couple of nifty things going on. She has a new contemporary novel coming out next month, a free download of an e-copy of one her out of print westerns, Outlaw. [details here] and a nifty new blog. Well I think it is new anyway.

Let’s Misbehave by Lisa Plumley
Out July 2007

With no skills besides scoring the perfect stilettos, maxing out her credit card, and partying till dawn, Marisol Winston is about to get a lesson in the real world—and in love…

After years of perfecting her party-girl image, Marisol wants to open an L.A.-based deluxe boutique. Unfortunately her father refuses to foot the bill until she agrees to do a stint in shopaholic rehab. Surely she can survive a few weeks without Dior, right? But part of Marisol’s anti-retail remedy entails getting a real job as a nanny/housekeeper in Podunkville, Arizona. Suddenly she’s knee-deep in PB&Js and dirty laundry, surprised to find herself just a teensy bit smitten with her three sticky-fingered charges—and their deliciously distracting Dad (even if he does wear discount denim).

Quarterback Cash Connelly has one last shot at being re-signed to the pros, which means he needs a nanny who runs a tight ship. Marisol seems to know way more about Tiffany’s than T-ball, and she has more miniskirted sex appeal than is strictly necessary for laundering jockey shorts. But his kids seem positively smitten. Well, who wouldn’t love a woman who serves up ice cream for breakfast? Now if only Cash can find a way to stick to his strict hands-off-the-nanny policy…

I don’t have this to review but do love sports books. No really… not so much on the sports themselves, all I personally watch is basketball (GO SPURS!) but I love baseball and football player heroes in romance novels. Sadly more often than not I don’t like the books but I keep trying. I have found they are generally heavy on the funny and it is rare I find an author I like who write comedy.

So anyone read this yet? Any reviews up (from places you trust). Have you read any of her other contemporaries? What did you think? I only have some of her westerns. I know, you are shocked… I have her Harlequin Historicals:
The Matchmaker Released September 2003, The Scoundrel Released April 2006 and The Rascal Released November 2006

Of course I haven’t read them all yet but I have grand plans to one day.
