Dear Lady Truelove . . .
My twin brother and I need a new mother, though Papa insists hell never marry again. Must be nice, brainy, and fond of cats . . .
Lady Truelove may be Londons most famous advice columnist, but James St. Clair, the Earl of Kenyon, knows his wild young sons need a tutor, not a new mother. They need a man tough enough to make his hellions tow the line, and James is determined to find one.
Miss Amanda Leighton, former schoolteacher and governess, knows she has all the qualifications to be a tutor. And while female tutors are unheard of, Amanda isnt about to lose the chance at her dream job because of pesky details like that. If Lord Kenyon insists on hiring a man, then she has only one option . . .
Jamie isnt sure what to make of his new employee, until he realizes the shocking truthbeneath the ill-fitting suits, his boys tutor is a woman. An unconventional, outspoken, thoroughly intriguing woman. Despite Amandas deception, he cant dismiss her when his boys are learning so much. Yet Jamie, too, is learning surprising lessonsabout desire, seduction, and passionate second chances . . .
Guhrke continues her delightful Lady Truelove series with similar charm, creating another irrepressible heroine and making another nod to the frightful historical disparity between womens and mens freedoms but adding two adorable kids and a gentleman who needs to be reminded of whats important la Mary Poppinsto the mix. A clever, sexy, and endearing historical romance. Kirkus Reviews Witty, sensual, and just plain fun, Guhrkes latest foray into the late Victorian world of Lady Truelove cleverly refreshes the classic cross-dressing heroine trope; highlights the cruel disparity between opportunities for men and women; and gives a deserving pair their happy ending. A thoroughly engrossing read. Library Journal(starred review)
