I like period stories like this. It had a good relationship within her family. I also liked how she spoke her mind and was ready to take the consequences for it. It was a nice touch to have her be a governess and yet in charge-so to speak-of the estate that she went to be a governess at. I liked how the young boy told his "father" that the governess had a way of making people do things when he said she could make him-the Lord of the estate do what he wanted. Turned out well despite how stubborn she was. A conventional Regency with a headstrong heroine, a suddenly autocratic father and a convenient governessing post that her old nurse knows all about. . . It's an amusing, light read if you're ready to throw aside any disbelief at how such an autocratic, take-charge miss can come in and work as governess in a noble household, let alone become the close confidante of its suddenly returned and single lord.Oh, and also, this may sound petty, but monarch butterflies (identified as such!) in Regency England? Highly unlikely to have this species identifed as such at that time and it threw me out of the narrative.
What do You think about The Defiant Governess (2013)?
Fun and clean except for one little, tiny, descriptive makeout scene at the very, very end.

Good story but as of lately most books I have read the ending was rushed!!
