All's Fair in Love and War by Virginia Heath

3.75

This was just the most precious romance reminiscent of Captain Von Trapp and Maria I think I've ever read! 

When the flighty older sister of former naval captain, Henry Kincaid, decides on a whim to accompany her explorer husband on an expedition to Egypt, he finds himself unwittingly left in the lurch with her three unruly children and her giant, mad dog. With no clue how to manage the little rascals, a busy career at the Admiralty that requires all of his attention, and no idea when his sister is coming back, Harry has to hire an emergency governess to ensure that everything in his ordered house continues to run shipshape. In desperation, he goes to Miss Prentice’s School for Girls prepared to pay whatever it takes to get a governess quick sharp to bring order to the chaos.

Thanks to her miserable, strict upbringing, fledgling governess Georgina Rowe does not subscribe to the ethos that children should be seen and not heard. She believes childhood should be everything that hers wasn’t, filled with laughter, adventure, and discovery. Thankfully, the three Pendleton children she has been tasked with looking after are already delightfully bohemian and instantly embrace her unconventional educational ethos. Their staid, stickler-for-the-rules uncle, however, is another matter entirely

Read this if you love: 
opposites attract
MMC who loves the children
heartwarming romance
the cutest kiddos 
a mischievous pup
governess/captain relationship
a fantastic set up for future books 
a little bit of spice 

All in all this was absolutely delightful! Heath is already an author I recommend and I know this new series of hers will be no exception! I can't wait for more!
