I love this trilogy! Julia London has written the books based on three sisters. They make appearances in each others books, but each book focuses mostly on one of the sisters. These are the best contemporary romance novels I have ever read.

The first in the series "Material Girl" revolves around Robin Lear, a spoiled brat of a girl who has her life turned upside down when her father announces he is dying and plans to make big changes while he does so.

Lear Transport Industries is the company that Robin Lear has been working for, not so much working as putzing around the office. Her father owns the company and is disgusted with how his family and his company has gotten away from him. His girls don't know the meaning of work, and he ends up doing everything himself for the company. He demotes Robin to work below her ex-boyfriend Evan Iverson, who by the way wants to win her heart back.

When things seem as though they couldn't get worse, Robin lands herself in the pokey for burning down her office -she left the coffee pot on- and meets a strapping young fellow by the name of Jake Manning. Robin has hired him to renovate her house and Jake finds himself oddly attracted and put off by this woman all at the same time. The money Jake makes doing work on Robins house helps him pay bills and raise his teenage son Cole, but he finds himself losing focus whenever he is around the Material Girl.


The second book in the series "Beauty Queen", features Rebecca Lear, the star child of the family. Rebecca was once married to a well-to-do man, with whom she had a child with. She was a socialite stay at home mom that had given up her dreams of becoming an artist to become a beauty queen and appease her father.

When Rebecca's husband decides to take a younger wife and leave her hanging she is left feeling worthless and without any marketable skills.

To support her 5 year old son she takes the only job she can get. She works for Tom Masters campaign for lieutenant Governor of Texas. Shes finally gaining some self-confidence and some much needed experience, when she finds herself going head to head with an obnoxious lawyer. Matt Parish isn't amused that he has to work with a former beauty queen with no political experience, and he lets her know that every chance he gets.

With the common goal of showing each other up, they manage to overcome some major campaign problems as well as find some common ground. The get to know each other better and find out that they have more in common than they could have ever expected.


Lastly, we have "Miss Fortune", probably my least favorite in the series. This novel revolves around Rachel Lear, a carefree student with a big heart and even bigger ambitions. Her biggest problem is a nasty habit of letting people walk all over her. As a result of this she is flat broke. To make matters worse, a tree has fallen on her house and partially across her neighbors fence, causing a broken window and a lawsuit.

Rachel curses the world while her ex-boyfriend keeps showing up at her house uninvited and her best friend Dagne keeps convincing her to try some white magic as a way to change her luck. Rachel jokingly wishes for true love with a hot man with an accent.

Low and behold Flynn Oliver shows up in her life. He is a temporary transplant from England, Stateside working as a computer programmer. He has his eyes on Rachel from the moment he meets her, but she finds the situation more than a little bit curious.

When a rash of art thefts plagues the city Rachel finds out that not everyone, or everything is as it seems to be.

This novel wraps up the series in a nice little bow. I highly recommend the series.
