What could have been a pretty standard Regency about a governess marrying an earl has twists--the heroine takes the job as governess to his 5 children (very Sound of Music-ish) to get her hands on a rare manuscript he has. The earl has this legacy of "perfection" which could have been better explored, and has to marry a "perfect" woman with a fortune to restore his home & pay his debts & provide for his children's future. This would have been a better story if it had had about 100 more pages so some of the plot lines could have been more thoroughly fleshed out. ( )
