I’m reviewing this for Net Galley
Daphne Collingham learns that her cousin, Clarissa, has died in mysterious circumstances. Daphne trades places with a governess to gain employment with Lord Colton, her deceased cousin’s husband, in order to investigate the circumstances surrounding Clarissa’s untimely death. During the course of her duties as governess, Daphne realizes that she might have been hasty in thinking Lord Colton was responsible for Clarissa’s death. The only thing she has to fear from Lord Colton is losing her heart, especially when he learns of her masquerade and true identity.
Fans of Christine Merrill and historical romance will enjoy this book.

This book got better as it went on. I didn't really appreciate the premise of the story, but that's a personal choice. I'm guessing most of the things I don't like about the book might boil down to personal preference so take the rating for what it's worth.
I found the first "love" scene, in which she is a virgin, to be outlandish and overly painful, it paints the hero as a complete jerk, an unrecoverable jerk.
As for her, her motives were absolutely ridiculous.
I don't like the cover much
I rolled my eyes too much. And the book was full of WTFckry.
I received the book from NetGalley for review.
