England, David Worthington, Duke of Penrose is not happy with the American governess his new wards have arrived with.
Two people determined to ignore eac Publisher's Description: This is a sometimes funny, touching and well written novella by Callie Hutton. Merry comes to England from America as the governess of two young girls who have recently lost their previous governess to an illness that took her life. After several years employed by the girls parents she becomes the one person left to them after the tragic deaths of both parents. They do however have a guardian and she accompanies the girls to his home only to have him decide she would not make a suitable governess for the girls.
Now she is likely unemployed until his mother steps in and hires her as her companion. What ensues is highjinks and a developing love from a man who has never nor feels he will ever feel such emotions. This is a well thought out story with well developed characters in spite of the short novel length of this book. I would give this book 4. Although there is only one sexually physical scene in this story it is quite heated. I received this book through InstaFreebie. This in no way affected my opinion of this title.
Feb 14, Vickie Raynor rated it it was amazing. I was drawn in and felt like part of the story from the beginning. What a humorous, heartwarming romance.

Meredith is an American young woman who has been the governess for 2 young English girls. When their parents die, the girls are sent to live with their guardian, the Duke of Penrose. He will hire an English governess who will train the girls to become young ladies who will be presented to the ton and make good impressions while doing it.
He does not approve of Americans and he definitely does not approve of a young woman who speaks her mind. This is a very short and humorous story. M Meredith is an American young woman who has been the governess for 2 young English girls. Merry and Penrose are both strong and opinionated and they both are capable of seeing that first impressions are not always the right impressions.
There is humor in the story as well as a reminder that the Christmas celebration we now take for granted slowly brought changes to homes in England and the United States. This is a sweet story about people falling in love and making the best they can out of life.

Their parents have recently passed away and Miss Merry is delivering the girls to their new guardian. I loved that Merry is an American who intellectually understands the English class system but doesn't agree with it. Of course that causes instant sparks to fly between her and the duke, the girls' guardian. What I didn't like was the premarital relations near the end of the book.
It was a charmi I liked this book up until almost the end. It was a charming story up to that point.

In this delightful historical romance, the Merry in the title, Meredith Chambers, is charged with taking two little girls, the daughters of a couple she came to know and love before their deaths, to their new guardian, the Duke of Penrose.

Delightful This is a wonderfully sweet story even though it has sex scene which is touching rather than salacious. I loved this story. Duke meets American girl who is governess to his new wards.

All of her books are great. This one was sweet, sexy, loving and caring story. This book get 3 fingers up and 8 toes. Jan 04, Chris rated it liked it Shelves: A completely sweet little piece of fluff.
Hutton follows the Regency romance formula to a T: A bodice is ripped. A misunderstanding threatens to tear the lovers apart. And they lived happily ever after. Jan 03, LadyCalico rated it liked it. This short fluffy romance novella is a pleasant piece of brain candy that provided an entertaining evening's read. The otherwise interesting story seemed to fall apart toward the end--that bit about the sexy dress at the Christmas party seemed both out of character and stupid and from that point on, I have no idea what was the author thinking--apparently she wasn't.
