#BookReview: All's Fair in Love and War by @VirginiaHeath_ @StMartinsPress

Synopsis: A new Regency romp of a series, about governess who believes in cultivating joy in her charges, clashes with the children's uncle who hired her, only to find herself falling in love.

When the flighty older sister of former naval captain, Henry Kincaid, decides on a whim to accompany her explorer husband on an expedition to Egypt, he finds himself unwittingly left in the lurch with her three unruly children and her giant, mad dog. With no clue how to manage the little rascals, a busy career at the Admiralty that requires all of his attention, and no idea when his sister is coming back, Harry has to hire an emergency governess to ensure that everything in his ordered house continues to run shipshape. In desperation, he goes to Miss Prentice’s School for Girls prepared to pay whatever it takes to get a governess quick sharp to bring order to the chaos.

Thanks to her miserable, strict upbringing, fledgling governess Georgina Rowe does not subscribe to the ethos that children should be seen and not heard. She believes childhood should be everything that hers wasn’t, filled with laughter, adventure, and discovery. Thankfully, the three Pendleton children she has been tasked with looking after are already delightfully bohemian and instantly embrace her unconventional educational ethos. Their staid, stickler-for-the-rules uncle, however, is another matter entirely…

This title will be released on May 28, 2024.

My Review: If you love slow burn romance than this one is for you.  It was slow and steady and I could not put it down.  It was super charming and well paced for the story.  I will say that this could have been 5 stars but there was so much inner monologue that it kind of overtook parts of the story.  But that was my only issue with this one.  I loved the characters and it was super cute. 

Review

“Equal parts witty and romantic, ​A​ll's Fair in Love and War is a page-turning Regency charmer. Virginia Heath’s writing is top notch, sparkling with her trademark humor. I was smiling (and swooning) all the way through.” –Mimi Matthews, USA Today bestselling author

“A thoroughly charming slow-burn romance between a fastidious captain and a feisty governess, accompanied by a trio of rambunctious children and one willful pup. A delightful read!” - Amalie Howard, USA Today bestselling author of Never Met a Duke Like You

About the Author

When Virginia Heath was a little girl, it took her ages to fall asleep, so she made up stories in her head to help pass the time while she was staring at the ceiling. As she got older, the stories became more complicated, sometimes taking weeks to get to the happy ending. Then one day, she decided to embrace the insomnia and start writing them down. Now her Regency rom-coms (including the Wild Warriners and Merriwell Sisters series) are published in many languages across the globe. Thirty books and three Romantic Novel of the Year Award nominations later, it still takes her forever to fall asleep.
