So fun. This was such a fun and emotional book. Yo will laugh out loud and need tissues. I highly recommend this series.

Simply wonderful. Another perfect book from Tessa Dare. Highly recommend!!!!

Alexandra was a true gem! Loved every page!. I generally read contemporary romance, but read the Duchess Deal after seeing all the positive reviews and was so happy I gave regency romance a try. I fell in love with the historical tale and the author, then read the Wallflower Wager and now The Governess Game. I truly am in awe of the talent and range of knowledge possessed by Ms. Dare. She delves into so many engaging topics such as various animals, pirates, astronomy, health ailments of the time, etc. Of the three books, I have to say the Governess Game was my favorite, and it’s very hard to find a favorite. I love broken characters and women who are fierce and independent and in this book, our heroine is so deserving of the title. I love how she was friends with Emma and Penny from the other two books, who also were unique, strong, and loveable characters. Alexandra Mountbatten suffers from a traumatic past loosing both of her parents, her father rather tragically, yet she is so hopeful, poised, and a true survivor. She is so wise and patient, and when she becomes the governess to two young girls, she remains loyal and steadfast in her desire to show them love and support, something they know nothing of. She is wise beyond her years, and it was so very moving to me how she could see through all of their pranks; she knew they were pushing her away because they feared getting too close. The same could be said for wealthy and handsome guardian, Chase Reynaud, whom suffered from self-loathing and a guilty conscious from something in his past. Not feeling worthy of love either, he pushed everyone away until Alex entered and upended his world. I adored these two together and their wonderful honest banter. I loved how he couldn’t say the words but would show how he felt with his deeds, especially with the children, who were a hoot. Alex knew her station in life but dared to dream of a future with him, and it was so beautiful to read their every interaction. This book has it all–they were serious, flirty, funny, sexy, and at times, very emotional as they admitted truths about their past. I loved how smart and educated she was, and how she genuinely gave so selflessly. I loved how she pulled no punches with the children or with Chase letting them know that yes, sometimes life is unfair, and sometimes we make mistakes, but it’s our life to live and we need to move forward. She was such a steady, loving influence, all the while making learning fun, and embracing the uniqueness of each of them. Tessa Dare has exceeded all my expectations with “The Governess Game.” I loved how everything came full-circle and how so many tidbits were included and then brought back up again. And of course, I loved the HEA, and would love a follow up book or novella catching us up with Alexandra and her friends.

Lovely book. Like all things Tessa Dare, this book is charming, well-written, a pleasure to read. The children are undoubtedly the stars of the novel; they add both levity and gravity to the story. Alexandra Mountbatten is a compelling heroine, intelligent, resourceful, secretly hopelessly romantic. Her immediate infatuation with the hero works well with her character as a bit of emotional escapism from the precariousness of her situation, however that tension between her romantic tendencies and the reality of life as a woman supporting herself with plans and dreams is underutilized. Alex is kind of lost in this story and we are left with Chase as the emotional center of the story; Alex spends much of the novel convincing him, a wealthy soon-to-be titled man, of his worth. Chase is a fine hero, but his internal struggles and self flagellation are imo less compelling than Alexandra’s more complicated and potentially nuanced position as a woman with dreams, sensitive yet sensible, but of precarious means. I enjoyed the novel from start to finish but was a bit unsatisfied, though it is hard to pinpoint why exactly. I think it is that the story feels much smaller than the characters, particularly the heroine, deserved.

Catch a Falling Comet. … put it in your pocket, never let it get away. That pretty much sums up the plot, but interesting characters and a rocky path towards self acceptance makes the journey worthwhile.

A new twist on a told story. Rake. Check. Poor governess. Check But an original story in plot and character make up that makes Tessa Dare’s books a reliable bet for an entertaining read. Does not disappoint.

A disappointment. This book was so very different from her other books and even from the series. The heroine was very naive, immature and childish in her thoughts in regards to the Hero who she didn’t even know! And the book took place in the Hero’s house, nowhere else. This just felt like the author wrote to give them a story and get it out of the way. No imagination, no laughs, no effort. It was soooo overly cheesy at the end and cliche. Skip this one.

Crash and burn. Main heroine is pathetic, pinning after a man who shows that he’s no good. She’s desperate for love and affection...story got boring after a couple chapters

Fantastic Read!!!!. An incredible romance that has a roguish hero who doesn’t believe he’s good enough for love or to love someone, because of an accident that wasn’t his fault which cost the life of his cousin. His one rule is always, always no attachments whatsoever! He’s broken, after all and not worthy! Until one tiny spitfire of a woman accidentally barged into his home ..... Alexandra Mountbatten! Alexandra Mountbatten, Alex to her friends is a smart bookish young woman who loves astronomy almost as much as weaving fairytale fantasies over the “Bookstore Rake” A miscalculation on her part leaves her with no job prospects but finds herself in the employ of the “Bookstore Rake” who now has a name Chase Reynaud a Duke’s heir. Chase is in a bind he needs a governess for his two young wards and Alex is the perfect one for the job. His two mischievous wards have chased away every single governess and he hopes that Alex is the ONE to put them in order! I adored this new release from Tessa Dare especially the two little girls they had me laughing out loud with their antics. Alex and Chase had so much chemistry that it was palpable. Alex was not a simpering young girl with stars (haha pun intended) in her eyes she’s a sensible young woman who calculates everything. She’s endearing and caring and fell in love with both girls and feels their grief. Chase needed a shove to wake up, and realize that he is worth being loved and to love, sometimes loving someone isn’t a guarantee that things will always go right but if he doesn’t try his future is a very lonely one. I recommend this to everyone who loves Tessa Dare books!
