The Governess Game by Tessa Dare
4.0
4.5 stars!
You know how I said that I now get why people love Tessa Dare in the first book in this series? Yeah. This book cemented that. I adored this book! I finished it and asked a friend (literally) how I had only read my first Tessa Dare books this year. She shrugged via text, lol. Enough about my new-found love for Tessa Dare. This book. I loved The Duchess Deal so hard, I couldn't imagine that this would stand up... it did. Capably. Our heroine is a budding astronomer who is mistaken as a governess and immediately hired to care for two orphaned hellions. Our hero is the guardian of said hellions with a lot of guilt hidden away who finds himself more and more drawn to the pretty, fearless, governess. Y'all know I love a romcom and I didn't know that could be done with a historical, but this is proof it can be done and done well! I may have already started the next book. Because reasons.
