Never Blow a Kiss by Lindsay Lovise book review

This is the first book Secret Society of Governess Spies series. I mean, that is quite the hook right there! Emily Leverton is the female main character and she has just started a new job as a governess, with a bit of spying on the side. She is worried about the governess part of the job because she does not have the best education herself and she has to wing things a bit. She is bold one evening and blows a kiss towards Zachariah Denholm, a ex-solider turned railroad magnate. To be fair, Emily did not know who he was, just that he was handsome (how fun is that?). Turns out that Emily caught Zach’s eye and he tracked her down. The conversation between them is just really funny and I caught myself laughing out loud a few times. Later, Emily finds herself in a dangerous situation and it just happens that Zach is there. As a part time investigator, he turns up a lot. 

The flirting between them is just delightful and the chemistry is scorching. Oh man! It was sooooo hot. As the story goes on we start to find out that Emily has a bit of trauma in her life and Zach is working really hard to get past her defenses. They write letters to each other that are a hoot to read. As a mystery begins to unfold, Emily and Zach work together because of mutual interests. Of course, their feelings start to develop and as they find themselves alone together and the physical attraction is explored. ;) This is a funny, well written book that was just a lot of fun to read. It was one of those that sucked me in and I could not stop until I was finished. I love how these two characters are not born into the ton, but they make their way into society because of their cleverness and their business smarts. The cover art is beautiful. I love when ballgowns are incorporated into the cover. This book came out in January and it is totally worth buying yourself a copy. It is a delight to read!
