Rules for a Proper Governess (Mackenzies & McBrides, Bk 7)

Very enjoyable story involving a Cockney heroine from the slums of London, and a widowed barrister hero who is one of the Mackenzie in-laws. Through an unlikely series of events, she ends up as the governess to his children, but who cares how plausible that is when the story is so much fun? I loved the heroine's forthrightness and the hero's sincere love towards his first wife who died(it's refreshing when the former wife or husband is not a horrible villain). The kids were pretty realistically portrayed too, they were not angels.
There is enough spice, and a visit to Scotland during the holidays, so we also get to see the rest of the Mackenzie family, especially Ian!
