A review by annestef1a
The Governess Game by Tessa Dare

2.0

This was an okay read for me, probably would've rated it higher if I hadn't read too many HRs. It's very formulaic and cheesy, there are some inaccurate modern elements–like the closet-slash-folding bed thing–that made my eye roll so hard.

I was really close to DNF-ing this until I read the words "ma-ni-la". Apparently, the heroine is of Filipino descent and it's my first time reading that in a Historical Romance. Pretty vain, I admit, but I just can't help feeling happy with the representation.
