2 posts | 5 read | 9 to read
Wanted: Governess able to keep all hours . . . Rebellious Julian Fortescue never expected to inherit a dukedom, nor to find himself guardian to three young half-sisters. Now in the market for a governess, he lays eyes on Jane Grey and knows immediately she is qualifiedto become his mistress. Yet the alluring woman appears impervious to him. Somehow Julian must find a way to make her succumb to temptation . . . without losing his heart and revealing the haunting mistakes of his past. Desired: Duke skilled in the seductive art of conversation . . . Lady Jeanne de Falleron didn't seek a position as a governess simply to fall into bed with the Duke of Denford. Under the alias of Jane Grey, she must learn which of the duke's relatives is responsible for the death of her familyand take her revenge. She certainly can't afford the distraction of her darkly irresistible employer, or the smoldering desire he ignites within her . But as Jane discovers more clues about the villain she seeks, she's faced with a possibility more disturbing than her growing feelings for Julian: What will she do if the man she loves is also the man she's sworn to kill?

I enjoyed this book with its nod to Orczy. Young Jane Grey is actually a Frenchwoman seeking the man who denounced her family and sent them to the guillotine. She becomes a governess in order to discover the truth. Of course, she finds more than that in the man who employs her as governess for his​ sisters.

I especially love Julian's sisters in this book! #romantsy

Dragon I do love The Scarlet Pimpernel 💕adding to the stack 👍 7y
ScientistSam @dragon I 💕 the Scarlet Pimpernel too! For me, this is more reminiscent of that due to relationships and past actions rather than the plot itself. 7y
Dragon Sounds interesting 😀👍 7y

This was such a good one! I loved the French Revolution backstory and the art and the family dynamics and the CHEMISTRY and honestly I've been a sucker for "seducing the governess" ever since I read Jane Eyre. This is the fourth in a series but the first book in it that I read. Off to put the other three on the TBR! #romantsy

MarriedtoMrT Sounds up my alley. Just borrowed it from the library. 7y
