All's Fair in Love and War by Virginia Heath

funny lighthearted medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

Thank you St. Martin's Griffin and NetGalley for the eARC of All's Fair in Love and War!  All opinions in this review are my own.

I loved Virginia Heath's previous series and I am happy to say that the first book in her new series does not disappoint!  All's Fair in Love and War is the first in the Miss Prentice's Protegee's series about a group of friends who have graduated from a school for governesses.  Georgie is the last one without a position but when Harry arrives desperate for a governesses for his nieces and nephew, Georgie steps in.  Although Georgie and Harry are not together that often in the beginning of the book, the moments that they are interacting are of full of energy.  Harry likes things to be very regimented but Georgie believes children learn best when they are moving.  There are quite a few times that don't always work in Georgie's favor but they make for some good laughs.

While the first book focuses on Georgie, the introduction to her friends prove that there will be some fantastic stories still to come from this series!
