takethyme's review against another edition
4.0
This was a warm and fuzzy romance if you can just get past the age difference. I understand why some readers will love the story and others will consider it icky or offensive because of this issue. That aside, I found myself in the majority; I thoroughly enjoyed this heartwarming tale of two interesting but lonely characters found in a social error.
Jamie and his friend, Reggie, meant well when they convinced the governess, Miss Evalyn Pennington, to stay with his extended family over the holidays. She was in dire straits because one of their acquaintances behaved improperly while she worked in his parents' home. Defending herself, Evelyn smacked the young man's head with an Atlas and immediately lost her position.
An orphaned young miss with no immediate family, Jamie convinces her that their intentions are honest and she will find employment before the New Year. Without giving too much more of the storyline away, there is a minor misunderstanding when Evalyn was introduced to Jamie's father, Philip, and his aunt. They think that Jamie intends to marry her. Words are misconstrued and actions are wrongly identified and what occurred was an enjoyable comedy of errors.
