He’s an Earl.
She’s the governess.
There’s history there, and it’s about to repeat itself.

Miss Juliet Richards thinks there may be something wrong with her. She’s no longer interested in boring conversations in drawing rooms or attending fancy parties. Gasp!

Was it too much to ask to make a difference in the world? To help another person? Was she doomed to a frivolous existence as the wife of a stuffy rich man? It was horrific to think of! But her options seem limited.

Perhaps, despite her parents’ plans, she could be a governess. Then she’d be able to help a child and live her own life more freely.

Solomon Catley, Earl of Overton, continues to mourn over the love that was almost his. He thinks daily of the woman who broke his heart—Miss Juliet Richards.

Now, he’s been given the task of watching over his niece, Pearl. His life has handed him only heartbreak, it seems. But in Pearl’s arrival, he is determined to provide for her only joy.

For that, he’ll need a governess . . .

A chance miscommunication. Two broken hearts forced to live under the same roof. And dreams at opposition.

Can he overcome past wounds? Would a future as a countess provide Juliet the freedom she desires . . . or smother her in social boredom?

Inside this sweet Regency romance you’ll find many heartwarming and heart-wrenching moments, lots of love, a delicious dose of angst, and a happily ever after. This stand-alone novel continues Penny Fairbanks’ series Resolved In Love. While the books can be read in any order, it is best enjoyed as follows:

Behind the Baron’s Mask

Healing the Captain’s Heart

Finding the Artisan’s Future

Embracing the Earl’s Dream

This book is a delightful. Solomon and Juliet have a second chance at love. This book is a full circle of the other three books, but is a stand alone book but I think it is far richer having read the other books first. In fact, I think this book is my favorite of them all and I loved the others so much!

SWEET Regency Romance 💕with a Second Chance Romance💘

Juliet💃💋 has applied for a governess job in order to get away from her parents. She's having a mid life crisis and she is just a young woman!

A few years back, she and Solomon🐺, the Earl of Overton had a thing going on and it looked like marriage, until Juliet freaked out and dumped him.

She decided she hated her life in society, and wanted to be free of the pressure and expectations.
The Governess job puts her right back in it when she arrives at the estate and it belongs to Solomon!

His brother and his sister-in-law were killed in an accident, leaving Pearl👸, their five year old traumatized daughter in his care.

Juliet💃💋 is able to draw Pearl👸 out of her melancholy, and Solomon🐺, too, but she still thinks she needs to be free, otherwise, she can never truly be herself.

I also got this ebook with KU.

I liked the story of the book, but Juliet's💃💋 character was way too angst ridden to be enjoyable.

After reading the first book in this series, I hoped Juliet and Solomon would find their happily-ever-afters, and loved to see how it came about. One, afraid of never being more than a "tropy wife" and the other not realizing she could want more than that type of life... This book finished the series perfectly!

3.0 out of 5 stars A bit drawn out
Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2021

I have finally discovered why this Sadie’s tends to become a bit tedious. After about the first half I start skipping descriptions to get to the next dialog.

It seems the author feels the need to put long descriptions in between each persons dialog. This is good at times, but gets quite distracting after awhile when it happens constantly. The dialog flow is interrupted. And the description is often repetitive as though you didn’t understand why the person thought that way after being reminded over and Ave again.

And with this story the plot did annoy me a bit. The whole reason Juliet gave up her love is because she wanted a meaningful life. Yet she continued to keep that belief to herself. I get maybe the first breakup, but the fact she never told Solomon the second time drove me crazy. She at least hinted at that idea and then Solomon ran away rather than be happy he had an idea of her issues. She told him she loved him and yet he couldn’t think of a solution or talk to her about it. He just decided to go to London. Idiots both of them. And as smart as Juliet was supposed to be, she couldn’t figure out how to have a meaningful life and be married seemed a bit off. I often read of other women in those times which were married, but started schools etc.In the story it was made out to be like rocket science for 2 adults to come up with an idea to make Juliet s life have meaning.

Then lastly the epilogue was too long and drawn out. Details of her teaching other students and again all the descriptions between each persons dialog. It’s nice to hear how everyone turned out 10 years later, but it could have been done in a lot less writing.

Sorry to be so harsh, I do enjoy that the books are clean and the writing is not stilted but smooth. The talent is there to write a great book but after reading these 4 I’m quite exhausted with the excessive descriptions and repetitions. I appreciate smart characters that are able to solve their problems and not repetitively make the same mistakes.

There is a lot of potential with Ms Fairbanks writing, but it will be awhile before I try again reading her series. Hopefully they will improve in the writing flow.

This was a sweet story of second chances. Juliet stayed true to her convictions even though it caused a rift between her and Solomon. And Solomon was still able to help Juliet feel meaningful and purpose.

5.0 out of 5 stars Would They Take Their Unexpected Second Chance?
Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2020
I just loved this second chance story for these two characters we got to meet in an earlier book in this series.
Miss Juliet Richards wants to make her life count and be meaningful so she decides to become a governess instead of trying to find an acceptable match to satisfy her parents. When she arrives at the home of the position she unexpectedly received, she is stunned to discover it is the home of Solomon Catley, Earl of Overton. He is the man she fell in love with and refused to marry over four years ago. The problem is that she never stopped loving him.

Lord Overton has never really gotten over his broken heart from the refusal of Miss Juliet Richards. The time they spent together was so wonderful as they seemed to connect right from their first meeting. He still doesn't understand why she refused his proposal. Having her work in his house as his niece's governess was not what he planned. Seeing her day to day is really difficult for him and he must keep up a cold exterior so she will not discover how he still feels.
This story was told so well and not rushed. Seeing the interaction between the two knowing they still had deep feelings for one another kept me rooting for them to put their differences and past behind them and take a chance together. I liked that their family and friends tried to help them along.

Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2020
This is my first book in this series and I enjoyed it. I could see where it would’ve been that much fuller had I read the previous books as all of the characters had strong reappearances. The characters were great and so was the storyline with second chances and loss and fears. I look forward to more from this author.

I really enjoyed following the main characters Solomon and Juliette. I loved their dialogue and chemistry. I do feel that the premise for Juliette’s conflict a bit ridiculous. I really liked that the story followed through several more years showing their lives and the lives of their close friends.

The main story is great and I like the characters but dear me! This book is excessively descriptive and gets quite annoying, the first book as well, the one about Cecilia, the plots are great but the unnecessary details make them a little bit too much.
