Thank you to SMP Romance and UplitReads for the complimentary book and to PRH Audio for the advanced listener copy. These opinions are my own.
Georgina is a would-be governess with a mind of her own. Despite her impeccable schooling and recommendations, she can't quite seem to get a position. Because during every interview, she actually speaks her mind about her unorthodox teaching methods and refusal to discipline children physically. But when Henry Kindcaid's nephew and nieces are left at his home with no warning, he needs a governess without much time for interviewing.
This was a fun story. I love Virginia Heath's approach to historical romance as true rom-coms. In this book, much of the comedy came from the children and the most amazing dog. I would read the book just for more of their hilarious antics.
But I also quite appreciated the excellent pacing of the romance. Harry and Georgina make a great couple with good chemistry, and both characters show growth over the story.
Eva Feiler and Shane East were fantastic narrators. Both captured the accents and feel of the plot quite well.
The book is the first in the Miss Prentice's Protegees series, and I quite look forward to reading about Georgina's friends from her governess training.
