Vanessa
Ashley feels she is qualified to be a governess until she gets the position at
Falconbridge Hall. Finding herself
penniless after the deaths of her artist father and suffragette mother, Vanessa
does what she can to earn a living.
Vanessa uses her knowledge of politics, history and art to get the
position of governess. Hired as a
governess for ten-year-old Blythe, Vanessa hopes she can now have a stable life
even if it isn’t quite the life she had planned on.
Julian,
Lord Falconbridge is a scientist that is about to go on an extended expedition
to the Amazon. Julian takes an interest
in his daughter’s education and is determined to make sure she has what she
needs while he is away.
Vanessa
soon finds things are not quite what they seem as the last governess left
suddenly without notice. Not to mention
that Blythe’s mother death is never mentioned.
Blythe also doesn’t seem to feel safe in her own home. It seems that there are secrets and Vanessa
is determined to find out what is going on so that Blythe can be the happy
little girl Vanessa knows she can be.
This
is a very well written story that has a wonderful mystery in it that is sure to
have readers guessing just what is going on.
With all the secrets that are in this one it is interesting to see them
unfold and find out just what is going on.
This has several twists and turns that keep the story intriguing and
helps the storyline move along well. While
this would have been an even better story had it been a little longer with more
intrigue in it this is still a very good romance with the mystery threaded
through it. This is one that will be
enjoyed by readers that like some mystery with their romance.
I
give this one 4 red roses
