    Author

    Karen Ranney

    Karen Ranney wanted to be a writer from the time she was five years old and filled her Big Chief tablet with stories. People in stories did amazing things and she was too shy to do anything amazing. Years spent in Japan, Paris, and Italy, however, not only fueled her imagination but proved she wasn't that shy after all. Now a New York Times and USA Today bestseller, she prefers to keep her adventures between the covers of her books. Karen lives in San Antonio, Texas.

      Perusing the home library I noticed that I had unaccountably acquired three ex-library trashy romances. An Unlikely Governess was one of them. The writing was barely adequate, the story implausible, and the historical veracity absent. I read and binned.
    • 3/5
      This is not the best of books. It had potential, but it did very little with it. Worse than that, the book felt sloppy. There were too many ends not tied, too much not explained. And the relationship between Beatrice and Devlen was not given enough time to develop into something real - I believed that they lusted after each other, but never that they really 'loved' each other. And Robert just turned perfect overnight - absolutely ridiculous, that should have been more of a challenge. And to top it all off, the climax was quite dissapointing, after building up the whole book for it. Still, I've read worse.
