Favorite Character:

Lady Pleinsworth

Because she was on Anne's side. and she not so subtly pointed out to our MMC that he was taking advantage of their class difference.

 

Blurb:

Anne Wynter might not be who she says she is...


But she's managing quite well as a governess to three highborn young ladies. Her job can be a challenge—in a single week she finds herself hiding in a closet full of tubas, playing an evil queen in a play that might be a tragedy (or might be a comedy—no one is sure), and tending to the wounds of the oh-so-dashing Earl of Winstead. After years of dodging unwanted advances, he's the first man who has truly tempted her, and it's getting harder and harder to remind herself that a governess has no business flirting with a nobleman.


Daniel Smythe-Smith Might be in mortal danger...


But that's not going to stop the young earl from falling in love. And when he spies a mysterious woman at his family's annual musicale, he vows to pursue her, even if that means spending his days with a ten-year-old who thinks she's a unicorn. But Daniel has an enemy, one who has vowed to see him dead. And when Anne is thrown into peril, he will stop at nothing to ensure their happy ending...

 

Thoughts:

It suffered from the trope I hate the most. When someone can't be honest with another person. It also had class difference which I really do not like when the MMC takes advantage of that. It did make up for it with a lovely action packed happily ever after.
