The review of this Book prepared by Angel Manners




Alexandra Gallant is a governess extraordinaire-and if it weren't for an unfortunate incident at her last position,she wouldn't now be forced into the employ of Lucien Balfour, the most notorious rake in London. Though the attractive earl hired her to teach his young cousin, his seductive whispers and toe-curling kisses suggest he has something far less respectable in mind...And that will never happen. For although Lucien seems determined to teach her about pleasure, she has a few lessons to teach him about love!
