Publisher's Summary:
A young governess dreams of life in a castle in this historical romance by best-selling author Marion Chesney.
Lord Percy Hunterdon despaired: He had inherited a Gothic horror of an estate along with a pair of 15-year-old brats to marry off. It was no secret to him that finding husbands for these two vile young ladies would require the utmost expertise: the care of a governess of superior caliber.
When Jean Morrison spied Lord Hunterdon's advertisement, dreams of an unmarried viscount and a magnificent castle danced in her head. She imagined him as Byronic and brooding, pacing the battlements with a black cloak wrapped around his manly shoulders. And naturally, he would fall madly in love with her.
Her dreams immediately burst apart at the seams when she saw the dank, dirty Trelawney Castle and encountered for the first time the evil dispositions of her new charges. Still, despite all of this, the golden hair and dancing eyes of her employer conjured up fantasies that were most unseemly for a governess of distinction.
Members Reviews:
Very Entertaining
I love all of the little subplots in M. C. Beaton's stories. Just when you think you know enough to predict what's coming next, she brings something else into play. Of course, the main elements conform to the Regency romance genre. Ms. Beaton is a master storyteller. Fun story.
Two 15 year old minions of Hell
The Viscount not only inherited money and a estate, but the supposed 2 daughters of the former master and his maid. His keeping the inheritance totally hinged on taking care of the two devil girls. What I particularly enjoyed was that the girls were most irredeemable as usually in these stories the governess somehow transforms them with her love and care. Yes the loving governess is there, yet so are the bad seeds. Never fear, a HEA ending is achieved.
I enjoyed this book very much
I enjoyed this book very much. In fact, I enjoyed it so much I ordered two more books by this author. I am not a great fan of a lot of sex, this told it like you knew what they did without so much detail...good for MC Beaton.
Funny, witty author
I love M. C. Beaton (Marion Chesney). I have read all of her books.
A Governess of Distiction - A Review
If all governesses had such an "easy" life as this main character then there would be no need to read about them.
