About a year ago I purchased a Kobo Touch thinking I should at least try to see what advantages there are in reading ebooks. To that time I had not thought highly of reading a book on a tablet where you can’t hear the pages rustle. Well, I soon enjoyed reading ebooks and now have a small library full of novels and novellas. Once in a while I’ll try to highlight one of the books I enjoyed on my Kobo Touch. Below is the first one.
I recently purchased Courtney Milan’s novel The Governess Affair for my Kobo reader. It’s an easy piece of historical fiction to read featuring two two commoners who through the strength of their character manage to rise above the lot those faced in 18th century England not born into families of nobility. Serena, a young woman struggling to earn a living is violated by the duke who had hired her. She tries to get justice the only way she know how. Hugo is the administrator of this duke’s financial affairs and in line for a large sum of money as a reward for securing the duke’s future. To receive the reward he must keep Serena from making the dukes transgression public. He is a strong willed man who lets nothing stand in his way. Serena is a strong willed woman who cannot give up her crusade. The plot thickens with the attraction the two feel for each other.
