Review: THE GOVERNESS AND THE ROGUE by Mimi Matthews
Christina Boyd reviews USA Today bestselling author Mimi Matthews' latest, The Governess and the Rogue. Matthews continues to prove why she’s a standout in historical romance. Her ability to blend adventure, emotional depth, and sparkling dialogue is unparalleled. I can’t recommend this one enough—especially if you’ve been following the series. Jack and Bea’s journey is everything I hoped for and so much more. It was just the escape I needed.
