As the new governess to the duke's family, Alice Sharpe must learn to control her impulsiveness. Employment in the duke's household is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and could mean living in comfort the rest of her days. Unfortunately, her first encounter with the duke's houseguest, a handsome gentleman obsessed with insects, proves she may not be ready for the austere role of governess. Rupert Gardiner has one goal: to have his work in entomology and botany published by the Royal Society. He is fortunate that the Duke of Montfort, enlists Rupert to make a record of all the flora on the castle grounds. But Miss Sharpe's spontaneity and continual appearance during his work is an annoying distraction. At least, that's what he tells himself. While Alice struggles to adapt to her new role, constantly striving to go unnoticed while still being herself, she cannot help but admire Rupert's intelligence and focus. The more often they fall in together, the more her admiration deepens. But could a gentleman such as he ever fall in love with the governess? As the first stand-alone novel in a new series by author Sally Britton, this story begins the Clairvoir Castle romances.… (mehr)
Sweet, funny, and cute. Loaded with genuinely decent, kind characters. Thank goodness. After all the Regency fiction I’ve read, there’s nothing more disappointing than a malicious meddler. (Unless it’s a totally avoidable, long-drawn-out misunderstanding.) I am happy to report that neither of those plot devices had a showing here. All was sweetness and light. And I am here for it!
This is a novel where an entomologist and a governess fall in love... we’ve all seen it happen. ;) Actually, I don’t believe I’ve ever read that particular combination, and it was super fun and fresh. You will adore the entire family (plus governess).
