There is something about mysterious and secretive men that makes a book for me and this book nailed it.The book starts off with Emma Westlake trying to get away from her home so she doesn't have to marry her horrible and violent fiancée that her father is making her marry.  Her maid tells her about a secretive, reclusive earl (Gabriel Saxon-Worthington) that is looking for a governess.  She knows it her only chance at survival and leaves the night before her wedding.  She gets to the earls home and is pale and barely conscious.  He takes her in, cares for her and there love story begins.  She gets offered the position under a false name to insure that no one will find her.  Gabriel knows she is lying and sends his staff to go and try to find out the truth about her.  Even though he knows she is hiding something (which he is too) he can't help the attraction he feels for her.  Gabriel starts out only indulging in his attraction for her during his nighttime visits while she is sleeping.  While Emma cant understand why she has these very intense dreams about him every night.  This is making seeing each other during their nightly meetings more difficult. During one of these meetings Emma tells him that he needs to spend more time with the children.  At this point her relationship with the children has grown and she really cares for them.  Eventually he agrees.  This is when they almost become a family and they can't deny their feelings anymore.  I am not going to go into any more detail because you need to read it to see what happens!  Which sooo much more does!Aubrey Brown did a good job writing this. I really liked the story.  It was short though, only about 90 pages, which tends to make everything feel rushed.  But in this book I liked the fast pace. There wasn't that filler that makes books drag on and you want to skip pages. The only complaint I had was I felt that their relationship was based more on attraction they felt for each other and less on their feelings for one another.  But by the end of the story I started to see more feelings coming from both characters and felt that they actually loved each other.  Now I have to bring up the sex! Aubrey did a great job writing these sex scenes. They were HOTT!  You could really feel how much Gabriel needed Emma.  It was very well written.Overall I gave this book 4 stars. This is my first Aubrey Brown book and I will definitely be reading more from this author. If you are looking for a quick sexy paranormal historical read this is your book.*Reviewed for Seductive Romance Reviews
