Under the Wishing Star by Diane Farr
Diane Farr is a great author who has not been given her due. She writes nice emotional stories with fully developed characters. This book is related to my favorite book by her, Under the Lucky Star.
In this romance, Natalie Whittaker is in a bad situation. After running her family's estate for years her younger half-brother and this annoying wife have come home to play lord and lady of the manor. Natalie is so desperate to leave that she agrees to take a position as a governess for a handsome stranger that she has just met. But when widower Malcolm Chase turns out to be her new neighbor, Natalie realizes that she can't compromise her status in the neighborhood by living in a bachelor household. The only solution? Marriage. But is Natalie willing to accept a marriage of convenience?
This is a sweet, subtle romance. It had a very traditional feel that just hit the spot. After reading a few hotter stories, with the focus on sex it was nice to read a slow building romance, focused on the emotions of the hero and heroine. I don't believe Diane Farr is still writing, which is a real shame. She is one of the best.
My grade: A-
