The Governess Game by Tessa Dare

The Governess Game (Girl Meets Duke, #2)

by Tessa Dare

'I absolutely adored it. I laughed out loud numerous times... Love her writing.' Jodi Picoult The addictive Regency read from the New York Times bestselling author that's perfect for fans of Georgette Heyer!

The accidental governess...

After her livelihood slips through her fingers, Alexandra Mountbatten takes on an impossible post: transforming a pair of wild orphans into proper young ladies. However, the girls don't need discipline. They need a loving home. Try telling that to their guardian, Chase Reynaud. The ladies of London have tried-and failed-to make him settle down. Somehow, Alexandra must reach his heart . . . without risking her own.

The infamous rake...

Like any self-respecting libertine, Chase lives by one rule: no attachments. When a stubborn little governess tries to reform him, he decides to prove he can't be tamed. But Alexandra is more than he bargained for: clever, perceptive, passionate. She refuses to see him as a lost cause. Soon the walls around Chase's heart are crumbling . . . and he's in danger of falling, hard.

I’ve been devouring all of Tessa Dare’s books every since I picked up her Castles Ever After series. She’s definitely one of my must-read authors, and I always pick up her new releases. The Governess Game is probably one of my favorite books by her.

I think that diversity is harder to find when it comes to historical romances, but I’m glad that things are finally shifting. Tessa Dare proves that there are ways to bring minority characters out, but yet still make the plots believable. (If we really want to talk historical accuracy, let’s talk about all the number of dukes running around in regency England….)
