Description
USA Today bestselling author Lenora Bell introduces her sparkling School for Dukes series with her sparkling Regency interpretation of Mary Poppins.
Wanted: Governess for duke’s unruly children
Edgar Rochester, Duke of Banksford, is one of the wealthiest, most powerful men in England, but when it comes to raising twins alone, he knows he needs help. The only problem is the children have terrorized half the governesses in London. Until the clever, bold, and far-too-enticing Miss Mari Perkins arrives.
Lost: One heart to an arrogant duke
Mari knows how to wrap even the most rebellious children around her finger. But their demanding, wickedly handsome father? He won’t be quite so easy to control. And there’s something else she can’t seem to command. Her heart. The foolish thing beats so wildly every time Edgar is near.
Found: A forbidden passion neither can deny
As his employee, Mari is strictly off-limits. But what if she’s the one breaking all his rules? In the game of governess versus duke, how can Edgar maintain his defenses when the only thing he wants to do is let the tempting beauty win . . .?
Reviews
Doesn’t tug the heartstrings
2By reads past her bedtimeMary Poppins-meets-Jane Eyre governess has a secret past, as does the glowering Duke who employs her. It’s hard though to feel invested in either. Few sparks, little tension, and all ends as you might expect. Not Lenora Bell’s usual witty fare.Wonderful
5By TrayDNP16Absolutely delightful play on Mary Poppins’s... this story will bring happiness to your heart and give you the spoonful of sugar you need to get through a bad medicine dayUnimpressive and pointless
1By Jnelle87This book was truly a waste of time. The story never went anywhere and was so cliche and pointless. Governess meets and falls for duke without knowing a thing; he sort of does the same thing; cheesy verbiage follows, the end. There was no real story, no antagonist, no problems with a duke marrying the governess???! Hard pass this book. So very boring.
