Well, the
title takes away some of the suspense, so you already know what is going to
happen in the end. That being said, it
does not take away the enjoyment of reading the story. We start with an interview between Lord
Steadwell, a widower with three daughters, and Grace Ellerby, a
down-on-her-luck governess desperately in need of employment. Grace hides her beauty because it has caused
her nothing but misery. Lord Steadwell
is looking to hire someone who has no hope of marriage so she will stay with
his girls until they no longer need her.
It is a perfect match. Grace and
the daughters come to love one another; they stick-up and look out for each
other. Grace also comes to care for
Lord Steadwell even though she distrusts men because of past experiences. The more she comes to know Lord Steadwell the
worse she feels for living in a disguise and deceiving him. She fears what he will think and do when he
finds out. But she needn’t fear; the
title says it all! J
Despite my
obvious derision for the title, the story is entertaining, it tugs at your
heartstrings, and leaves you satisfied in the end—just like a good book should.I received this book from Love Inspired Harlequin free of charge through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
