It really shows that he has a kind, fair heart and deserving of his aristocratic position and power.I didn’t expect this book to be about second chances, but it is. Also I liked that he says they can’t save the world but he intends to do what he can to help those that can be helped. Not only to better understand Julia but also to understand the abuse extends beyond Julia and that there is a situation of the other women Lord Yardly abused and continues to abuse. I appreciate that Guhrke didn’t dwell too much on it so that the readers could still enjoy the romance in the H/h’s story, but it was treated with enough sensitivity, seriousness, and acknowledgement it deserved… I was happy to see how Aidan handled it. more us business! It’s the type of abuse that could have made this book into a dark drama because it’s a subject matter that destroys the very souls and spirit of women. The dichotomy is astounding! I felt both the excitement and nerves of the H/h when they were together and the anxiety and yearning when they were apart.What Julia went through with her husband was serio. I don’t know how Laura Lee Guhrke did it – but it shows how talented she is that she could convey the deep-seated emotions of the characters both subtly and strongly to the readers.

The attraction between the two was palpable. They were both strong, opinionated, kind at their core, and what they presented on the surface was a far cry from what was simmering underneath. Review 1: 4.5 starsIt’s hard to pinpoint exactly why I loved this book so much especially considering that the pace of the book seemed slow…The H/h’s characters, however, were so rich, developed, and layered. Yet Jamie, too, is learning surprising lessons-about desire, seduction, and passionate second chances. Despite Amanda’s deception, he can’t dismiss her when his boys are learning so much. An unconventional, outspoken, thoroughly intriguing woman. Jamie isn’t sure what to make of his new employee, until he realizes the shocking truth-beneath the ill-fitting suits, his boys’ tutor is a woman. If Lord Kenyon insists on hiring a man, then she has only one option. And while female tutors are unheard of, Amanda isn’t about to lose the chance at her dream job because of pesky details like that. Miss Amanda Leighton, former schoolteacher and governess, knows she has all the qualifications to be a tutor. They need a man tough enough to make his hellions tow the line, and James is determined to find one. Clair, the Earl of Kenyon, knows his wild young sons need a tutor, not a new mother. Lady Truelove may be London’s most famous advice columnist, but James St. My twin brother and I need a new mother, though Papa insists he’ll never marry again.
