About this ebook

‘Prepare to Fall in Love’Julia Quinn, author of Bridgerton

‘I absolutely adored it. I laughed out loud numerous times... Love her writing.’ Jodi Picoult

The addictive Regency read from the New York Times bestselling author that’s perfect for fans of Bridgerton

The accidental governess...

After her livelihood slips through her fingers, Alexandra Mountbatten takes on an impossible post: transforming a pair of wild orphans into proper young ladies. However, the girls don’t need discipline. They need a loving home. Try telling that to their guardian, Chase Reynaud. The ladies of London have tried—and failed—to make him settle down. Somehow, Alexandra must reach his heart . . . without risking her own.

The infamous rake...

Like any self-respecting libertine, Chase lives by one rule: no attachments. When a stubborn little governess tries to reform him, he decides to prove he can’t be tamed. But Alexandra is more than he bargained for: clever, perceptive, passionate. She refuses to see him as a lost cause. Soon the walls around Chase’s heart are crumbling . . . and he’s in danger of falling, hard.

4.5 Stars Alexandra Mountbatten works setting the times on clocks but she tumbles into the Thames & her livelihood slips through her fingers, she takes on an impossible post: transforming a pair of wild orphans into proper young ladies. However, the girls don’t need discipline. They need a loving home. Try telling that to their guardian, Chase Reynaud. The ladies of London have tried and failed to make him settle down. Like any self-respecting libertine, Chase lives by one rule: no attachments. When a stubborn little governess tries to reform him, he decides to prove he can’t be tamed. This is the second book in the series & we met Alex in the first book, this book could well be read on its own. The characterisation is so very, very good & the verbal spats between Alex & Chase are brilliant, their attraction is apparent from the start & that first kiss was toe curling. The pace of the story is good & flows effortlessly. Rosamund & Daisy are delightful & add so much to the book. I really liked Alex who had worked to better herself. I liked Chase but not entirely happy with the way he pursued a member of his staff, this was the only downside for me in an otherwise lovely book. My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

Standard romantic fluff, but good to while away a few hours. I like the fact that the author always has strong female characters, who have minds of their own and won't be intimidated. Enjoyed the books that the two girls were reading, which Alexandra doctored so the boys washed the dishes and the girls climbed trees.
