When a simple governess pulled from the dregs of 1800 London is thrown into fine society no one expected that she would attract the attentions of one of London’s noblest catches – much to the consternation of those of better heritage that now surround her... For five cruel years Martha Nash is forced to live among the dregs of society in the alleyways of London. Such crowded and mean streets are no place for a woman. Driven to despair she is caught stealing a loaf of bread and finds herself in Newgate Prison awaiting an awful fate. Then, as if by a miracle, she is released into the custody of the fine society woman, Lady Juliana, and becomes an indispensible companion to her mistress, and a governess to her children. All seems well until the dashing Carlton Southey walks into their lives, throwing the lowly governess into an uncertain whirlwind of love, jealousy and passion that stands in the face of a world that says such things should simply not be.
Regency Romance Pursuing The Governess Charity McColl 9781520969886 Books
Although I enjoyed this book, I feel like it was not realistic for the time period. It is a stretch for a titled man like Lord Carlton Southey, to offer for a well connected governess. For him to offer to someone so far below his station and who was a prisoner in Newgate? This is not going to happen. It is so against society norms that the couple would be ostracized. Martha Nash, the governess would be snubbed everywhere, even by her own servants - who are the most snobby and class conscious of them all.Another questionable aspect to this book is that the Lady Juliana Burton even hiring a prison inmate as a governess. This would never happen.
If one could suspend their doubts, this is a nice story.

Regency Romance Pursuing The Governess Charity McColl 9781520969886 Books Reviews
I Enjoyed the book. Interesting.
I really enjoyed this book and would indeed definitely recommend that others also read.
I look forward to reading many more written by Charity McColl
This story showed how people of England started realizing how the prisons were full of children who didn't do anything but we're there because their mother or other women stole food.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading "Pursuing the Governess" and recommend this book and author to all who enjoy a bit of escape with a sweet, clean romance. A little escape from the harsh reality of life can be a breath of fresh air we all desire in troubling times.
The story was good, but the ending felt very abrupt. The H and h didn't really have any interaction at all, but they fell in love. Then there was a lot of loose ends, I would have liked more interaction and an ending that tied up all the loose ends. The Lord seemed standoffish, stern, and indecisive. The governess was not wealthy but not poor until both her parents got typhoid and died. I don't want to spoil anything, but three sentences could tell the book. Needed more talking between the hero and heroine and I needed an epilogue to finish it off.
I'm giving it 1 star so I'm allowed to offer a written review otherwise it wouldn't receive any stars from me. I downloaded this story because out was free from PureReads however the story wasn't developed through scenes involving character's actions and interactions or conversations. The author did little more than provide a synopsis and tell us what happened, it was like reading a list of scenes. It WAS NOT story telling which is an art of showing people how a story progresses through the experiences and interactions of the characters.
This title succeeded in turning off any interest I may have had in Ms. McColl's other titles and has nearly convinced me to unsubscribe from PureReads newsletters.
I was introduced to this author by Pure Reads it was a Sunday freebie and I am glad that I did download it. It is a short story and takes no time to read. It is a little different than most of the historicals I read. What Elizabeth and Juliana were doing for prisoners showed two truly inspiring young women. What they do for Martha and how they allow for something truly wonderful to happen in her life was interesting to read. I know for Juliana what occurred caused a bit of problem for her but I do believe there is a happy ending for her also. I am not part of an advance reading group, but when I find a book that is worth having I do like to leave a review. As a short story, I can whole heartily recommend this story.
