Review:

Miss Mary Smith has to find a job when she finds out her father was brought to the gaol and her school turns her away. By a stroke of luck she finds a job as Governess for Sir Nicholas Denny at Stiffkey Hall near the prison where his father was kept. She tries to be the best governess, to keep her thoughts for herself in order to keep her job but at times it's difficult to do and her real personality shows.

Nicholas is intrigued by the new Governess, she is beautiful and has a good mind but he tries to refrain his instict to pursue her because she is his employee and he is a baronet.

Will a relationship between them completely exclided? Will Mary be able to keep her job and to save his father from prison?

This is my first book by the Catherine Tinley and I really enjoyed it, there is a good flow throughout the book that held my attention, the characters are well depicted with unique traits at time a little shocking.

Needless to say my favourite character is Mary, she is witty, outspoken and unapologetic to be herself, it is hard to not root for her.
