ButterflyreviewAge: 55-65Gender: female3 Stars Out Of 5February 10, 2013ButterflyreviewAge: 55-65Gender: femaleQuality: 3Value: 3Meets Expectations: 3Emma Smallwood and her father run a boarding school for wealthy boys. Due to Emma's father being despondent about his wife's death they have no boys left to teach and no new prospects. Emma takes it upon herself to contact Lord Weston to inquire about his younger boys attending the school. The two older boys, Weston and Phillip, had attended the boarding school. Lord Weston writes a letter requesting they come to Ebbington to tutor the boys.
Upon arriving at the cliff top manor the Smallwood's discover all is not as it seems. Weston and Phillip are hiding something. They both remember their days at the academy well. Weston was known for playing tricks on Emma and Phillip was her friend. Now one of the brothers finds himself falling in love with Emma.
This book has some mystery in it as Emma hears the pianoforte played in the middle of the night. No one else seems to hear the music. In the middle of night she sees someone in her room. Personal belongings also begin to disappear.
I would give this book 3 stars as it was a good book. Not a great book. There was not a lot of romance and some mystery as I have already mentioned.
I was given this book by Bethany House for an honest review. -
KimberlyAge: 25-34Gender: female2 Stars Out Of 5The Tutor's DaughterFebruary 4, 2013KimberlyAge: 25-34Gender: femaleQuality: 2Value: 1Meets Expectations: 1I really wanted to like this story, based on the back cover copy. What I got was a book that dragged painfully slowly through the first half, then got better in the second half and raced to the conclusion, leaving ends loose and me feeling cheated that I'd spent $10 for this Kindle book. Emma refused to stand up for herself when all the crazy little incidents continued escalating to real threats, which I just don't understand. Furthermore, the reason revealed for all the threats and the punishment for those threats do not make sense, given the seriousness of everything that occurred. This story doesn't match the caliber of the author's earlier books. What a shame.
