Good! Cute! Found family! Learning to love yourself! Learning to care for others! I enjoyed this romance, and many things about it, but I do think we skipped over some of the emotional development, and another 100 pages would do a lot toward fleshing out the characters' backstories. But that's just not what this book was, and honestly, that's okay. It was a fun day of reading!

As usual, Tessa Dare knocks it out of the park. This one wasn’t anything amazing or noteworthy, but it was everything you want from a historical romance: fun, swoony, sweet, and with a man on his knees in love.

“I’m just the governess,” Alex quickly volunteered.
“You are not just the governess,” Chase corrected. “You are not ‘just’ anything.”

I am a sucker for the nanny trope so I adored this book! Alex is such a beautiful, tender hearted heroine — she’s such a good take on the shy “good girl” trope! This book was also just hilarious!!

This was cute. 3.5 stars.

I loved the FMC and the children. It made me laugh out loud a couple times which I always appreciate. I didn’t adore this one as much as the first, but it was super fun to have a cameo from those characters in this one.

I wish it would’ve been longer and a little more in-depth. The ending especially felt rushed and unsatisfying. It all resolved a little too quickly.

I’ll be reading the next one. This is a quick, steamy, witty, mostly lighthearted (despite all of the doll funerals) regency romance.
