About this audiobook
In the first book of The Fancy Lives of the Lear Sisters trilogy, a spoiled socialite discovers the best things in life are worth working for.
Robin Lear’s extravagant lifestyle is the envy of every socialite in Texas—until a personal tragedy changes everything. Her father, shipping tycoon Aaron Lear, announces he has just months to live. Determined to teach his spoiled daughter one final life lesson, Aaron demotes her from her cushy job in the family business and sends her to work for an insufferable manager. Now, for the first time in her life, Robin will have to earn her place in the world—and the sexy new contractor renovating her house may be just the man to show her how.
Jake Manning never had it easy, and after years of hard work, he’s finally ready to settle down and enjoy the fruits of his labor. Yet one look at gorgeous Robin Lear is all it takes to turn his carefully laid plans upside down. Jake knows better than to mix business with pleasure, but that’s before he realizes there’s more to this trust-fund princess than meets the eye. Taking a chance on her means taking a chance on love—and Jake knows all too well that the best things in life are worth the effort.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is my first reading of Julia London's contemporary romance novel.... and I'm liking it! She is as great at this just as she is with the historical romance novels. I can't wait to read more.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I 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.
