Lady Vivienne Curtis knows she’s “destined for a prestigious marriage,” but she just wants one taste of adventure first. Answering an ad to be a temporary governess to twin 10-year-olds sounds like just the excitement she needs. It is certainly an unexpected boon that the girls’ uncle happens to be a handsome entomologist. Vivienne knows that if they were to combine their passions, her skills at photography could add value to his work, but she must convince him that she’s more than just a pretty distraction.
VERDICT Arens (Meeting Her Promised Viscount) presents a chaste, charming Victorian romance about seeking adventure and finding love instead.
