This is book three in the series but can be read as a stand alone. No cliffhangers. A sweet/clean happily ever after.

Oh my, I LOVED this story and this is the last book in this series. I hated to see this series end, but I know Wendy is working hard on getting other books out that I will love.
Wendy’s books are so well written, if you haven’t read a book from Wendy; I suggest you give her a try.
Her stories are wonderful and her covers on each book are so beautiful!
I was given an ARC from the author but not persuaded to leave a positive review!
Such a delightful story that Wendy May Andrews has woven with her wonderful imagination full of lovely characters and creative plot. Sarah Upton was determined. She wanted to open a school for girls, so to achieve that she has become a paid companion to Lavinia, a debutante she was to aid into society and help find a husband. She had the perfect one chosen, but one stubborn obstacle stood in the way. Heath Felton, Marquis of Westbrook’s young friend Edmund was the source of his discourse with Sarah. According to him he was far too young to marry, only twenty five.
The banter between Sarah and Heath was so much fun but she stands strong against him and doesn’t cower at his presence. The more time they spend together an attraction seems to grow between them, but Sarah has one goal in mind and she resists.
I just loved it and hope there are more books from this author soon!
This is a charming story. It is well written and witty. Sarah is the companion of Lavinia. It’s her job to give guidance to the girl and find her a good match. When it seems that Lavinia will find that match with Edmund, Sarah is quite pleased and is looking forward to her next position- to open a school. That’s when fate steps in. Why is the Marquis trying to stop this match? Sarah is furious with his interference, yet also finds him intriguing I recommend reading this book.
This is a lovely, heartwarming story. It was fun the way the Marquis and Sara, companion to a ward she is trying to help find a husband for. When the Marqis ruins her wards chances with his ward, Sara’s righteous anger amuses him. The Marquis keeps insulting her not meaning to when all he wants is to know her better and court her. But as a lady’s companion, well educated, she doesn’t believe it’s possible he wants to court her. Volunteered to review complimentary copy.
Sarah wanted to open her own school for young ladies, an unusual position for someone so young. In her position as a paid companion to a young debutant, Lavina, Sarah is charged with helping her find a suitable match. Lord Felton didn’t have anything against Sarah or Lavina as long as they quit any pursuit of his ward, Edmund. The social rules of the times make for some interesting and funny encounters. This book is quite enjoyable.

This Regency romance is not only well written, clean and delightful, it also has all the components of a good love story. Born of a good family, thoroughly spoilt as a child, Sarah Upton has a rude awaking when both her parents die, leaving her an orphan. Vowing never to be put in a situation where she will have to be dependent on others, she maps out her future, which includes starting her own school for young ladies. However, she has to put money together to make that possible and her appointment as Miss Livinia Thornton’s companion pays out a bonus once the young lady is safely wed. The only spoke in the wheel is the Marquis of Westbrook who makes it very clear that his ward is not on Livinia’s list of possible suitors. The tension and antagonism between Sarah and Heath Felton increase until Heath comes to appreciate Sarah’s strength of character and her ability to clear the way in society for both Livinia and herself, thereby earning his respect. The fact that Sarah doesn’t kowtow to him, makes her even more attractive. The only hurdle he has to overcome is Sarah’s resistance to marriage and her dream of running her own school. The story is warm-hearted and witty, making me smile and I was sorry when it came to an end. I received a copy of this book as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.
