By Sophie Barnes

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Historical romance lovers and fans of Jane Eyre need to to have Mr. Grier and the Governess by Sophie Barnes!

Olivia Poole (😉nod to JE) is finally out from under the controlling thumb of her vicar father and now needs to make her own way in the world. Thankfully her father highly educated her and she now hopes to find a job as a governess.

Too bad she needs a position immediately but there are none and her lack of references aren’t making things easier! A housemaid position will have to do…

Taking a risk, she arrives unannounced and finds the position filled but is welcomed by the houses ward and soon finds that her governess skills coming in handy… that is until the handsome guardian returns and puts her to the rest!

This epic romance was an absolute delight! I loved all the fun nods to Jane Eyre and the beautiful way Barnes introduces her characters, their stories and weaves together their love story!

I was swept away from the beginning and bereft when I finished… which wasn’t long because I totally binged this romance!

This was a romance that harkens back to the classics and completely delivers! Pick this one up today!
