He’s been a bad, bad rake—and it takes a governess to teach him a lesson.
The accidental governess.
After her livelihood slips through her fingers, Alexandra Mountbatten takes on an impossible post: transforming a pair of wild orphans into proper young ladies. However, the girls don’t need discipline. They need a loving home. Try telling that to their guardian, Chase Reynaud: duke’s heir in the streets and devil in the sheets. The ladies of London have tried—and failed—to make him settle down. Somehow, Alexandra must reach his heart... without risking her own.
The infamous rake.
Like any self-respecting libertine, Chase lives by one rule: no attachments. When a stubborn little governess tries to reform him, he decides to give her an education—in pleasure. That should prove he can’t be tamed. But Alexandra is more than he bargained for: clever, perceptive, passionate. She refuses to see him as a lost cause. Soon the walls around Chase’s heart are crumbling... and he’s in danger of falling, hard.

(4.5 stars, rounding up) So so good - I even liked the kids, which isn't always a guaranteed thing. Half-star off is because of the pacing, which has a lot of plot crammed in at the end, but it doesn't really detract from everything else about how great this is. The first two books in this series have been incredible and I can't wait for the next one. If you like historical romances, you need to be reading Tessa Dare.
This one was not as funny as the previous book, but it was okay. I liked the relationship between Alex and the girls more than the romance itself. A good one time read.
I really enjoyed it by the end. And I'm really happy that Alex made her dreams come true and became an astronomer! But must the woman always get pregnant at the end as a happy ending?
This book was a fun, light-hearted romp through Regency England. I liked that the main characters were not your typical hero and heroine and their antics combined with the chaos of the girls was a breath of fresh air in the Regency Romance genre.
