Miss Mouse Kindle Edition

by Mira Stables (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 194 ratings
Good looks and an attractive personality were a positive disadvantage to a girl who was obliged to earn her living as a governess.

When Graine Ashley takes up her third appointment in two years, she goes to considerable lengths to disguise these natural attributes.

Circumstances eventually conspire to show her in her true colours, but by that time her standing with the family has been established. Unfortunately, she has also fallen in love with her employer.

She has too much common sense to envisage any possibility of marriage with one so far above her. The only prudent thing to be done is to set him at a distance; a wise course, that proves to be remarkably difficult to achieve.

Mira Stables is the author of many historical fiction novels, including The Byram Succession, Marriage Alliance, and Honey Pot.

    4.5 Really a delightful read Enjoyable side characters as well. My only disappointment was dropped characters. Benedict the nephew so prominent for most of the book, goes back to school after the holidays and isn't mentioned again. The Earl seems to take more interest in Rainey's brother Dominic. Then the horse whispering that the MFC has as a gift isn't mentioned more than in passing. So, .5 a star off. Really like the author and she reminds me of old Hollywood movies where as soon as the couple get together and the conflict is resolved it's over.

    4.0 out of 5 stars One of Her Better Romances
    Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2020
    This older Regency romance was a gentler story with less tension then you find in this genre. Miss Graine Ashley was 27 years old when she accepted the position of governess to the two nieces and one nephew of the Earl of Valminster. He had temporary custody while his sister and her husband were abroad.

    The Earl was a kind man and was a confirmed bachelor at the age of thirty-five. Most at home on his country estate, he had already been through some governesses because of Benedict, his nephew, who was a rapscallion. He was looking for someone with experience that would accept and work with the children.

    What took this story to the next level was Graine, soon to be called Rainey. She used grease paint to cover her beauty with the addition of a plain wardrobe. She had issues with previous jobs and the men in the household. She did not want to go through this again. Lord Valminster accepted her and treated her with respect. I liked this.

    The only reason I couldn’t give this romance five stars was the dreaded misunderstanding. A ploy used that wasn’t necessary considering how well this couple got along. I still enjoyed the story and was happy I read it.

    She's a lovely, lovely author. This is a sweet story of two very nice people. It's filled with children, a younger brother and it's wrapped in the English countryside.

    Feeling a little down about life and need a happily ever after? Look no further.

    Highly recommended

    Both the hero and the governess were believable and the children added to the enjoyableness of the story. Such fun to see the governess outwit Benedict on several occasions and to see his appreciation of her.

    I wasn't sure what to expect when I first started reading this story, but, it didn't disappoint. I fell in love with Miss Mouse almost from the beginning because of her brave demeanor although she never knew what would happen next

    Well Written story, and a sweet engaging plot. All characters were endearing, with Benedict's little pranks not even nasty. The Earl 'Uncle Ross' as well as Graine were pleasant and it appeared to be foiled repeatedly by misunderstandings. Eventually all was sorted and hopefully ' a Happy Ever After ' achieved.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The style of writing is much in the style of georgette hayer as it keeps my interest and keeps your interest throughout as I often lose interest easily. I enjoyed its entirety I would recommend to any who like a clean and entertaining read definitely five star.
