Miss Bonnie Hodges, governess to the Darrow family, is desperately trying to hold it together. Tragedy has struck, and she is the sole person left to be strong for the two little boys in her care. When the new guardian arrives, she hopes that things will get better. She wasn't expecting her new employer to be the most frustrating, overbearing, and ... handsome man she's ever seen.
Sir Stephen Montgomery is utterly distracted. He should be trying to figure out how his two best friends were killed in a suspicious accident and why the new young viscount seems destined to be the next victim. But he can't concentrate on anything but his growing infatuation with the beautiful, mysterious, and utterly captivating governess.
Together they're doing their best to save the two boys, but will Stephen's feelings for Bonnie get in the way of their search for a killer?
The Governess Club: Bonnie is the second novella in The Governess Club series by Ms. MacDonald. Though Claire and Jacob from The Governess Club: Claire do make a short appearance, it's not necessary to have read any other novellas in the series.
Bonnie has delayed her arrival to join her friends, fellow governesses, when tragedy strikes the family who employs her. She feels guilt about leaving her young charges, so she decides to stay and see what will happen with their guardian arrives. Bonnie and Sir Stephen Montgomery don't see eye-to-eye immediately, but the undercurrent of attraction between them is quite obvious.
I liked that Stephen is trying to solve a mystery, and that Bonnie's story is similar in tone -- and outcome! -- but not in content to Claire's. I am anxious to read the remaining novellas featuring Louisa and Sara, respectively.
(A very special thank you to Avon Impulse, HarperCollins, and Edelweiss for providing me with an ARC of The Governess Club: Bonnie.)
