The Governess Game by Tessa Dare
5.0

Oh Tessa Dare how I love your impeccable writing. I always go into these books wanting a light, fluffy smut fest and I am never disappointed. However, I truly appreciate the female empowerment, sex positive themes that flow through Tessa Dare's books. And the little quips between characters are so funny.

I have now read all 3 current Girl Meets Duke books and this one by far was my favorite. Alexandra is this Astronomy loving, lower class woman who is hired by Chase, a soon to be Duke who seems to be incapable of loving other people. Alex becomes a governess to two lovable and oftentimes frustrating young girls who are under the care of Chase. Hilarity and love making ensues shortly there after Alex's employment. Just when you think you have the plot figured out- think again. This slow burn will really keep you entertained for the few hours it takes to devour this book.
