Synopsis

     Olivia Keene is fleeing her own secret. She never intended to overhear his. But now that she has, what is Lord Bradley to do with her? He cannot let her go, for were the truth to get out, he would lose everything--his reputation, his inheritance, his very home.  He gives Miss Keene little choice but to accept a post at Brightwell Court, where he can make certain she does not spread what she heard. Keeping an eye on the young woman as she cares for the children, he finds himself drawn to her, even as he struggles against the growing attraction. The clever Miss Keene is definitely hiding something.  Moving, mysterious, and romantic, The Silent Governess takes readers inside the intriguing life of a nineteenth-century governess in an English manor house where all is not as it appears.

Creo que hace mucho tiempo un libro no me atrapaba tanto, en serio, a pesar de lo largo que es, lo terminé en poco más de dos días; simplemente no podía parar sin saber cómo continuaría la historia. He visto comentarios que lo comparan con el estilo de Jean Austen o Charlotte Brontë; no lo sé porque......more

Goodreads review by Deanne on March 25, 2016

Wow, I was swept away in the tides of this book! It took me longer to read than a book normally does because I wanted to fully absorb it all!
