Publisher Description
He needs to walk again. But he may need her more…
Lord Warrick lost more than the use of his legs on the battlefield, injuries crushing his expectation of an heir along with his spirits. But it's hard to keep a bawdy man down, so Warrick continues to entertain with outlandish remarks, denying his pain. But when he starts up a flirt with a most unusual female, he cannot get the Latin-speaking governess out of his mind…
Governess to the most exuberant young lady around, Aphrodite Primrose has her hands more than full—so why do they keep aching to comfort the haughty yet haunted peer who crosses her path time and again at her employer's house party? Past threats to her virtue taught her some lords cannot be trusted, but this one…seems different. And it's more than his inability to walk.
Impossible hopes dare to beckon when they exchange a kiss under the mistletoe but common sense brings them crashing down. For there exists no possible way this unrepentant fortune hunter, responsible for more than just himself, can marry anyone but an heiress. Time passes, filled with both tragedies and triumphs, until their paths cross again.
This time? Warrick's determined to catch her, whether he can chase her or not.

Touching Story
Grumpy/sunshine is a good description for this story, at least at first. Warrick is a grump, but he has good reason. His war injuries have left him paralyzed. Prim is a governess who is pragmatic and cheerfully straight forward. They meet at a house party and become friends (maybe a little bit more). When the party is over, they don’t see each other for two years. They do communicate. When they meet again, their almost romance begins to come together. Prim, although he finds it hard to believe and accept, is what he and his family need. Just maybe, things will work out for them all. This is an intricate story with lots of emotion, physical struggles, acceptance, family dynamics, and a slow-burn romance. There is also some humor (some of it on the sarcastic side) and witty banter (also a bit snarky). The characters are complex and engaging. Prim and her charge, Lady Harriet, provide a good bit of entertainment. I enjoyed the story and loved the epilogues. I received a special copy of this book via BookSirens and voluntarily reviewed it.
Absolutely Amazing!!
I haven’t enjoyed a series more for many many years. I am an addicted romance reader (all genres) and Larissa Lyons is my new favorite author! She creates characters and stories that are at once engaging and entertaining while also being historically accurate and convincing realistic. I love the authentic Regency slang! The books have just enough spice to be fun without sacrificing story for sex. Highly recommend!!

Watrivk is interesting…
He’s a lord back from war with two or three broken appendages. He can’t use his legs but must marry well. He’s cranky but funny.
Aphrodite is a governess who knows all too well how precarious her situation is.
I found the writing verbose and rather long. Though I did enjoy Warrick.
