Anne Wynter’s job as governess to three highborn young ladies can be a challenge – in a single week she finds herself hiding in a closet full of tubas, playing an evil queen in a play and tending to the wounds of the oh-so-dashing Earl of Winstead. After years of dodging unwanted advances, he’s the first man who has truly tempted her, and it’s getting harder and harder to remind herself that a governess has no business flirting with a nobleman.
Daniel Smythe-Smith might be in mortal danger, but that’s not going to stop the young earl from falling in love. And when he spies a mysterious woman at his family’s annual musicale, he vows to pursue her. But Daniel has an enemy, one who has vowed to see him dead. And when Anne is thrown into peril, he will stop at nothing to ensure their happy ending …
Hott Review:
Romance and suspense, what could be better?
What could be better than A Night Like This? A night where the handsome earl sees the beautiful governess across the room and moves heaven and earth to make her his?
I really enjoyed A Night Like This. Both Daniel and Anne are in fear for their lives and in fear that their adversaries will attack the ones they love. Plus, there is the huge discrepancy in their stations. Falling in love should be so simple. 😉
A Night Like This is a great book. It’s sweet, interesting, and enthralling. You won’t want to put it down!
