Determined not to marry, Lady Amelia runs away from home. Disguising herself as bespectacled Abigail Sparrow, she accepts a position as governess.

But soon, Val is not only in danger of tarnishing his reputation as a freewheeling bachelor, but also of losing his heart to Amelia.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another witty and memorable book from M. Ellis!, September 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: An Uncommon Governess (Zebra Regency Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

This delightful novel marks another triumph for Monique Ellis. The characters are likeable and fun as are the adventures in the book. This book had two slight drawbacks: (1) too much of the book was spent on the adventurous parts compared to the developing romance, which made the latter improbable; (2) the long-suffering patience of the heroine was stretched too much (I wanted to do violence to several of the villians and couldn't believe the heroine's foreberance). However, on the whole, this book is a keeper.
