Book Club 2025: A Governess of Distinction by M. C. Beaton

I’ve been reading this on my phone over the last month or so, whenever I had a couple minutes to kill while out and about.

I think I said that the previous Beaton Regency romance was the most preposterous one yet, but this is even better. It’s pure popcorn — there’s a poor, but noble governess, evil relatives and evil children, smugglers, murder attempts, and (of course) a romance.

100% silly, very brisk, and very entertaining.:

I appreciate the audacity factor of this book. Chesney tapped into some screwball comedy vibes and I applaud her for it.
