A wager between a governess and a viscount… what will be the consequences?

Being foisted with not one but two children is one thing, but to be sent their governess also is quite another! Viscount Edmund Wollaston has promised to care for his brother’s children for a short while but did not realize just how much they would disrupt his carefully ordered life. Unhappy, he decides to send the governess and the children away, only for the governess herself to beg him to change his mind.

Miss Tabitha Raikes never expected to have to make a wager with a viscount! Knowing that to return to her father’s home would cause her untold difficulty, she makes a bet with the viscount that, should she win, will force his hand and permit her and the children to stay. Will she be able to succeed? And can she hide from him the beginnings of affection that are springing up within her heart?

4.5 STARS

Sweet story with no villain to cause problems. You may think that it would be boring, but it wasn't.

There is a mystery and the H discovers he didn't know his brother very well. I enjoyed the element of surprise when a clue is discovered and not everything is as it seems.

I certainly didn't care for the H at the beginning. He was arrogant and thought the h beneath him. The h is strong, caring and through no fault of her own, she is forced to work for a living. She stands up to the H more than once and I loved her spunk.

One of my favorite character's is the H's best friend. Oh, I want him to get his HEA too.

This is a clean story with only a few kisses at the end. I can't believe the H's brother would leave his twins for a year or more. Why not take them when they went to the Continent, it's not like they were babies.

No cheating, no cliffhanger but does end somewhat abruptly at the 88% mark on my e-reader. Rest blurb of another book. We do get HEA and it's clean.

I can't improve on the blurb, just giving you some tidbits to decide whether to purchase or not. I liked it even though a simple story. The transformation of the H was worth the read and how his love developed for his niece/nephew. Thanks to the h and the best friend. (ljb)

Good read and very clean look in romance. but would have like to have a little more romance. Their both like characters with alot going for themselves. Edmund has always lead a solitary life with structure. Tabitha is the governess for his brothers children while he is away on the continent. The children and Tabitha changes his life for the better and they get their HEA. 🙂

A beautiful story of a viscount's daughter forced into being a governess and a young man forced into being a viscount. She manages to remain optimistic and loving while the viscount is set in his own ways. It is interesting to see them interact as he houses his young niece and nephew and she cares for the children and their uncle. Loved the happy ending.

4.0 out of 5 stars Courting the governess.
Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2022

This was a simple plot that had children as the focus. I liked it as a simple romance but I felt that the writer could have put an epilogue at the end to give us an update on their lives. It would have been a nice touch.

5.0 out of 5 stars A change in attitude
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2022

After quite a bit of persuasion and the promise that he won't even know his niece and nephew are in the house, his lordship agrees to allow the children to reside, with their governess, in his home for a year! The struggle to make the children's presence silent and unseen makes for a struggle.
Adults don't always know or care how their decisions impact others, particularly children. As always, Ms. Pearson handles the problem brilliantly, leaving everyone in the situation the better for it, except the evil people! You'll enjoy the transformation that occurs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Short but oh so Sweet
Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2022

I did not care for the viscount in the beginning of this book. I was very mad at him; however with the sweetness of the governess and the wonderful attitudes of the children it turned out perfect. The little bit of intrigue was very interesting in this book and it really strengthened the story. Thank you Rose.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Tabitha, the heroine, is a sweet and believable character, and the two children are a joy. There is an interesting sub plot which draws the protagonists together, and some enjoyable touches of humour. Would definitely recommend if a distraction from modern life is required.

This was a nice story but after a while it seemed to go off down a side road and then go round in circles. I felt there were various loose ends which didn't get resolved.
