This is the first book in a new series and if it is representative of the quality of the stories, I can't wait for the next one. The story is well written and well edited with very few typos or other editing errors. The characters are interesting and there is good character growth and development in the story. The plot was not too complicated, but it introduced the series well.This is a good romance between a governess and the new tutor who arrives to help prepare the two young boys in the family for subjects taught in private schools, Latin and Greek and higher maths. The governess, Claire, still teaches the three girls and works with the tutor, Philip, on etiquette and manners. When Claire and Philip get involved, things get complicated, because there's a little more to him than just a tutor.I liked that this book dealt primarily with people from the "lower orders". Not everyone is a peer, and of course, the governesses are gentlewomen who must make their own way. This book does have some sexual scenes and a bit of violence.Heat factor moderate.
