The Governess Who Captured His Heart by Sophie Barnes
3.0
The Governess Who Captured His Heart is a novella so it's very short. I have been trying to pick a a historical romance where there is a class disparity for a week or two. Ruby suggested this one but I wasn't really sold to the idea but I didn't have any better books in mind, so I decided to pick it up.
Louise Potter has to travel with her employer's uncle, so naturally she thought the said uncle would be old but instead he's about her age. Alistair Langley on other hand thought her to be old after finding out that he had to travel with a governess.
Alistair was close to his father and he had a carefree childhood before he died. Louise on other hand has lost both of her parents and just wants the best for her sisters. Louise never had her season, so she couldn't help but stare at her traveling companion. The only men she has known have been either family or indistinct.
I like the romance but there's like zero development. They meet and dislike each other but then they start talking and-- hey they actually have things on common. Louise and Alistair have this attraction to each other but they can't really be together.
All in all a good read for novella. I just wish there was more development but I did enjoy the road trip aspect. This might be for you if you're in the mood for short historical romance without sexual content.
