About this ebook

TO KISS A THIEF…
 
Scottish barrister Sinclair McBride can face the most sinister criminals in London—but the widower’s two unruly children are a different matter. Little Caitlin and Andrew go through a governess a week, sending the ladies fleeing in tears. There is, however, one woman in town who can hold her own.
                                                                                                               
Roberta “Bertie” Frasier enters Sinclair’s life by stealing his watch—and then stealing a kiss. Intrigued by the handsome highlander, Bertie winds up saving his children from a dangerous situation and returning them to their father. Impressed with how they listen to her, Sinclair asks the lively beauty to be their governess, never guessing that the uncoventional lady will teach him a lesson or two in love.

Ratings and reviews

This was a wonderful story about two people who had resigned themselves to their lives never changing. They weren't happy or unhappy in their current situations, but they weren't really doing anything to change it. Once they meet, they learn they can be their true self with the other, and thus their story begins Rags to riches, despair to love, Sinclair and Bertie find true happiness with each other!

Rules for a Proper Governess is a book you can easily imagine becoming one of those inspirational Lifetime movies they play on tv because its just one of those amazing, heart warming, life affirming type films that brings you a sense of love, hope and home. I was surprised to find that I was more enraptured with Bertie than I was with Sinclair, but then again so was he I think. Its wonderful to watch the blooming of discovery as a family learns that sometimes what it needs is just the right person to walk into your life to set things right. I feel that Bertie is just as good for both Caitlin and Andrew as she is for Sinclair and the readers. She is a wonderful woman that really tugs at your heartstrings and makes you wish that life were more like Jennifer's stories. Wonderfully done.

very good story
