On My Kindle - The Governess of Highland Hall by Carrie Turansky



Julia Foster's missionary days in India are interrupted by an illness in her family. She believes with all her heart that she'll return at some point, but takes on the daunting task of caring for Sir William Ramsey's two children, as well as his nieces.

Sir William Ramsey focuses on keeping the family estate amid financial difficulties. As a handsome man with a stellar pedigree, he hopes to make a marriage that will ease his burdens. He never thought he'd be attracted to a former missionary.

This book is the first in the Edwardian Brides series. This book has all the elements I enjoy: a clean romance, characters that undergo a change of heart, mystery, and an element of danger.

The author did a fine job with this book. 5 Stars!

Hi Susan - sounds like an interesting read - romance between the 'rich' and the wonderful work of a missionary lady ... and I expect some lovely scenes of a country life ... cheers Hilary

Hi Susan, what a treat to see you've read and enjoy The Governess of Highland Hall! And it means even more coming from another author. I loved traveling to England to research the series. Book 2 is The Daughter of Highland Hall, and Book 3 is A Refuge at Highland Hall. Happy Reading to you!
