I enjoyed this book even though there were a few corny moments when I rolled my eyes a little :0) I like to read clean romances and this did not cross my invisible line so I will be looking for more books by Sylvia Andrew.

From Back Of The Book:
"She intrigued him...

Edward Barraclough's happy bachelor existence is thrown into a spin when he is forced to look after his two orphaned nieces. Employing the right governess is vital. Miss Petrie has the girls' support, while he has reservations. Unassuming and a little dowdy she may appear, but Edward suspects she's neither so humble nor respectful underneith!

Independently wealthy Lady Octavia Petrie is on the verge of confessing that Edward has mistaken her for someone else. In a moment of sheer madness, prompted by his cynical attitude, she finds herself accepting the temporary position. From Lady to simple Miss - what has she let herself in for?"

I love the concept of a house approving or disapproving of individuals. This gives a very predictable storyline a twist. I liked the hero and the heroine. My only criticism is the crazy formatting throughout the book. Paragraphs floating with big spaces between them.

i enjoyed this book very much. sylvia andrew is a new author for me but i will definitely read another one of her books.

From the first couple of pages I realized this was a novel I had read before a year or two ago, but decided to read it again. I am glad I did. I love clean well written romances, so this was right up my alley. The characters were all well developed, the story line believable, and the whole package was fun to read. I found the portrayal of the house with a personality and the open possibility of the deceased previous owner's manipulations amusing. It added a nice extra touch. I give this offering by Sylvia Andrews a solid four stars.
