I loved this book. We get to revisit the Smythe-Smith family. This story picks up at one of the family's infamous musicales and centers on the governess and Daniel the newly returned from exile Earl of Winstead the only son of one branch of the family. As mentioned earlier, she is a lady with a secret past and he is just the hero to rescue her. Daniel is no rake, he immediately falls in love with her but has no intention of taking advantage of her. He's fully aware of the implications of his pursuit and if he had not been he has his aunt to set him straight. She recognizes in him a true gentleman and falls in love with him. Mixed in that courtship is the fun of his cousins, her students. Her past catches up with her as when an accident occurs and nearly kills her. But I'll not spoil it. It is a another of Julia Quinn's well written, funny, fast paced romances. I did not want to put it down! I was left at the end with some loose ends that I would like to have seen tied up. So, I'm hoping there'll be another Smythe-Smith book to pick up where this one left off.
