#AD Book Review: A Family For The Widowed Governess by Ann Lethbridge

A Family For The Widowed Governess is part of the Widows of Westram series and written by Ann Lethbridge. Lady Marguerite Saxby is a widow who has finally managed to escape an abusive marriage. She is currently trying to pay off her blackmailer by selling her pictures of flowers and foliage to a botanist writer.  She finds two little girls - Elizabeth and Jane - wandering in the fields and takes them back to their father, Jack Vincent, Lord Compton. He has three little daughters who he has wrapped in cotton wool after his wife was found mustered close to their house. He employs Lady Marguerite as their art tutor and the pair clash as she tries to get him to relax his rules and let his children be children rather than virtual prisoners in their own home. Will she discover who the blackmailer is and will he be able to overcome his fears about his daughters’ safety? 

I enjoyed this book. There is humour and chemistry between the pair and Marguerite is not afraid to challenge Jack or make him think about letting go of some of his rules.  

I received this novel from Mills & Boon via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  #MrOneNightstand #Mills&Boon #NetGalleyUK
