Which is saying something about the story as well as my romantic ideals! Ha! Februin book review, historical fiction, romance, young adult. I liked him in parts but mostly I felt he was annoying. The 'drops of gold' stories were lovely and really pulled you into the story (and to the heroine). I did like Seeking Persephone and Kiss of a Stranger better, but this one was read through twice before I even bothered to write the review. The secondary characters were fun and well developed. And even though they are as predictable as the next romance, I still get caught up in how the tale will twist itself into a happy ending. I like the regency feel in all of her stories. Eden is becoming one of my favorite romance authors. But with a cheerful outlook, a dose of storytelling, and a few “drops of gold” Marion hopes to help this sad household realize just how magical happiness can be. Of course Caroline’s father is as handsome and he is hardened by the loss of Caroline’s mother…and Marion has her work cut out for her. But, Miss Caroline Jonquil of the Meadows is in need of stability and love, so Mary vows to help. She is surprised when she finds out that her new charge is only four years old. So, she decides to fake a letter of reference and become the governess Mary Wood. Her mother, father, and brother died and she is left without a way to care for herself.
