Cheesy, predictable. I've never really been a romance novel reader before, yet here I am, attached to the characters and glossing over the "romance" scenes.

I had a really hard time getting through this one, because I utterly hated the heroine. She was a spoiled, self-absorbed, brainless twit. I wish people would have stopped rescuing her, because she needed to live with her stupid decisions. It's the only way she'd learn.

Books like this are why I love historical romance. I absolutely devoted this. 

North and Bride had previously been engaged for all the wrong reasons and when they meet again everything has changed. They are both pretty stubborn but it's so fun to watch them find their way back together. 

Some great tropes here;
Duke + governess
He can only sleep when he's with her
Your family rejects you but I don't
Mute child finally speaks at the perfect moment
