Rules of Engagement (Governess Brides, Book 2)

Summary: Great--Better than the last!
Review: This was one fun book. While I didn't think too much of the previous book in this series (the hero was a big child), I thoroughly enjoyed both of these characters. Kerrich begins as a typical, stuffy, arrogant aristocrat. Pamela is sick to death of them and when Kerrich says he wants a homely, older governess for the orphan he plans to adopt to get back in the Queen's good graces, Pamela disguises herself to fit the bill. After all, he just can't abide another woman falling in love with him. Kerrich, being male and believing himself superior, falls for her get-up. When he kisses Pamela for the first time, it's when she's dressed as the schoolmarmy Miss Lockhart, frumpy dress and all. Why? Kerrich likes her and respects her mind. Pamela is equally torn because Kerrich is not the arrogant hind end she originally thought him to be. The adopted orphan Beth provides additional spark, as she's neither cute nor helpless. Her sharp mind provides a little extra something throughout the book. As Kerrich and Pamela's relationship progresses, she must overcome a fear of committing herself to a rake like her father. Kerrich is hiding something from her, but I won't spoil it for you. All's well that ends well, but it's an entertaining ride. Don't miss out.

Summary: Delightful!
Review: What a fun story. Both characters, all the characters were intertaining. I loved Devon and Pamela's relationship. Devon was so lovable in his conceit. Every time the "full moon....." was mentioned I laughed. The author did so good that I could picture it quite well and laugh and laugh. There were many places in the story that gave me reason to chuckle. And, WOW, what a love scene! Talk about erotic! Ms. Dodd has proven to be an excellent author and this is another great story by her that is lots of fun. Don't miss out.
