- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/52.5 actually. I have huge issues with this book. She's gone or 5 months and no efforts on searching for her is done. How irresponsible of her father a Duke no less. Furthermore being entitled is se not spoilt? That's the initial impression we get of Jane but overnight she has changed into this caring responsible lady who even though is an absolute stranger gets to throw her weight around and also het to do all the ordering about. Midway I lost total interest in the book..
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Lady Jane was tired of the high society plans her family had planned for her...a husband, a home, a family all rolled into one. She didn't want any of it. So he concocted a scheme to leave and become a governess. What she didn't expect was to like the job and enjoy the family and ward she tended to. She also did not expect to fall in love with the man that paid her to keep his ward. But the one thing he didn't expect was her lie and for her to be just like all the rest of the women he knew.
