I enjoyed this regency romance. Of course the governess and her employer were going to end up together. One always knows how these stories will end, but its the journey that counts and the author did well with that. It was also nice to read a regency romance where the heroine didn't flee and have to be sought out again.
The cover depicted here is not a good rendition of the story though. It suggests an unwanted advance, which is not in keeping with the tone of the story.
The copy I read was show more an epub version borrowed from my state library. I suspect it was created with an OCR scan as there were some odd spelling errors, such as 'die' for 'the' and 'man' for 'than'. Not a huge number, but enough that made me keep an eye out for them. The worst one was 'gentile' motherhood instead of 'gentle'.

Excellent story about a 35 year old man who is very contented with his life. Sir Basil becomes guardian to a 9 year old Nicole and has to hire a governess Anne and his rigid world starts to crumble much to the readers delight.

It took me awhile to get into The Montague Scandal because of the writing style. Once I did, it was pretty good. 3.5/5 stars
