The Governess by Christi Caldwell!

The Governess

Wicked Wallflowers #3

Author: Christi Caldwell

Genre: Historical Romance

Regina (Reggie) Spark has loved Broderick Killoran, the resourceful and protective proprietor of the Devil’s Den, ever since he saved her from the streets and made her his right hand at the notorious gaming hell. For just as long, Reggie has never admitted her true feelings for him. Nor has she revealed her spirited ambitions—to buck convention and expectations and open a music hall.

While Broderick built his gaming empire with ruthless cunning, his loyalty to his employees is boundless. So when he learns of Reggie’s plan to leave his side and take charge of her own future, the betrayal cuts Broderick to the core. He responds as he would to any business rival…with swift retribution.

Instead of wilting, the savvy Reggie rebounds with a fury that shocks Broderick and stirs a desire he’s been holding in reserve for only ladies of nobility. But as their seductive battle of wills ignites under the harsh spotlight of the London Season, secrets are exposed as well—ones that could be ruinous in decent society but invaluable for the heart.

MY REVIEW

Page-turning and filled with tension and angst, The Governess by Christi Caldwell consumed me.

Broderick is a man who is powerful and rich in his own right. He has a loving family and he has loyalty in friends like Reggie. Alas, he is not happy without more money, power and above all else, a connection to the nobility.

This was an emotional story with twists and turns that I didn’t see coming.

The characters and plot were engaging. I couldn’t help but feel what they were going through.

The sparring between Broderick and Reggie was entertaining.

I was invested with all the characters and hope that Stephen gets his story told soon!

I received an ARC via NetGalley of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
