Lady Charlotte Dalrumple is a very proper governess. Lord Wynter Ruskin has travelled far in his youth, ended up in Arabia and is now more savage than english. Plot: These two meet and Charlotte is to teach Wynter a few things. But... Let's say, she needs to be taught something to, according to Wynter. This is a book worth reading! Funny scenes, steamy scenes and a hero who seeks to dominate and does not get away with it. My rating is 4 stars, given because of the fun and ease and true love. My advice: this is a keeper!

Lady Miss Charlotte Dalrumple was known as England's most proper governess. Adorna, Viscountess Ruskin, hired Lady Miss Charlotte to help her two grandchildren comprehend the complexities of English society within only a few months. Until now the children had lived with their father in the desert of El Bahar. They were considered barbarians and needed to learn etiquette before Queen Victoria and the Serminian delegation arrived. Once Charlotte and the children began doing well together, Adorna admitted that she hired charlotte in hope she could help reform Lord Wynter Ruskin, who was sadly uncivilized as well.
Wynter had no desire to be taught English manners. The Bedouins of the desert were more straight forward with their wants and desires. However, Wynter DID want Lady Miss Charlotte. He would woo her the English way ... up to a point anyway.
***** A delightful story that I enjoyed from beginning to end. This author has always had a way with words and yet to disappoint me. Great for those long rainy nights. *****

I really like the way Christina Dodd writes. Her descriptions are well-assessed and she makes you feel things, rather than telling you what you should be feeling directly. However, the hero was rather to close-minded and too "I am a man and you shall listen to me". Heroine was too reserved, but this was her character and what made her the heroine she is.
It's a ok book to read, but I admit, the hero does get to your nerves sometimes.

DON'T BOTHER!!!
Totally frustrating!!! I was so disappointed!!!! Arrogant, alpha male knowingly compromises the heroine and at no point shows any regard for her feelings or wishes. Read more

Could do better...
This is my first time reading novel by Christina Dodd, encouraged by other glowing reviews. Simple storyline, no chemistry, seriously i felt really bored.

As good as ever
Well written, humourous, lively love story, with one of Dodds loveable but wrong headed heroes. A nice link to that Scandalous Evening (so thats what happened next!)
