Squire Kenrik is more than he seems—more than any man she has known. He may be the source of her undoing, or he may hold the key to her deepest desires. Only time and the guidance of her heart will tell.

My Review:
I have always enjoyed nanny and governess books, and I am drawn to the fact that women after a certain age are supposed to have these titles. Especially when they take part in the past, and especially in a regency like setting. I was immediately drawn into this story, and then the author added in some romance and I thought that this book could not get any better. I really enjoyed the setting and the characters that I at times I felt like I could escape to this new and different land. What I liked most however is the magic. There is so much magic in the story that it is a part of the story as much as the characters, and yet the author blended them perfectly together. I really need book two, especially with the chapter from it at the end of this book. I am giving this book a 4/5. I received this book to review through Beck Valley Books Book Tours, all the opinions above are 100% my own.
