About this ebook

Only Victoria knows that Saber Lawrence is a renegade prince plotting to seize control of his country. But when Saber kidnaps Victoria to ensure her silence and vanquish her reserve, he finds that the proper English governess is not so easily seduced, unless Saber's willing to surrender something of his own-his heart.

Ratings and reviews

Surprisingly good sequel (this is #9 in the 'Governess' series). I really liked the characters and felt like them falling in love had a lot of reasoning. Victoria is smart, insightful and collected. The renegade prince is supposed to be a classic style character - arrogant and overbearing, but he is actually a softie and he manages to respect her without giving up ground at the same time. I wasn't expecting much because I was quite frustrated with #8, the book that introduces this one. But it was completely different, definitely dug deeper into hidden emotions and also didn't overdramatize the situation in the fictional country of Moricadia like #8 did. It made a case for similar nations in 19c. Europe. This book probably has the best writing so far in the 'Governess' series, excluding #3 which is a personal favorite.

It was awesome. True page turner fast paced they was always something happening
