A case of mistaken identity lands Penelope Campbell in the Duke of Salisbury’s household as governess to his six-year-old twin niece and nephew. It isn’t long before Penny falls in love with her employer, but his past comes calling in the form of a very beautiful and elegant French lady with sinister motives.

Lord Percival Warren has always loved painting and when he becomes the next duke in place of his dead brother, he’s forced to make drastic changes to his lifestyle. When Penny joins his household, he’s smitten and believes he’s found the woman who should be the next duchess, but he has to deal with the past before they can find the love that is so pure and whole.

I'm 100% in agreement with "Lisa - Sweet, Clean Regency - 3 stars (Nov. 2018)." When I read her review, I thought that she had captured my thoughts exactly! However, in fairness to the author, I thought I should leave my own review. I would rate it as 3.5 stars, and I always round up.

What I liked: Clean read, interesting characters, entertaining story.
What I didn't like: Doesn't always adhere to the time period, a bit of an insta-love relationship, and editing was only so-so (not necessarily the author's fault that the editor missed so many commas).

I would have liked a little time jump in the story (six months later ...) to explain the attraction between the H and h. It's a short story, and it moves along briskly, but I still think some indication of the passage of time where the H and h developed a real relationship/friendship would have been nice.

I liked the plot, and I'm glad I read it.

It's very unfortunate that there is a misspelled word in the title. I don't understand why the publisher hasn't fixed this. I know from personal experience that you can upload an updated cover in KDP without much effort - it would mainly be the work to fix the cover.

If you can overlook some historical inaccuracies and editing mistakes, this book will provide a quick, enjoyable, entertaining read. It's a clean read, so that's another reason to recommend it.

This was a very enjoyable read. It wasn't predictable or mundane at all. It didn't seem like a short and Penny and Percy gave the right amount chase...lovely.

But he is looking for the children to bid them farewell before he departs to London. He is an artist and refurbishes art.
