Emma flees to the Pettibone School for Young ladies, claiming to be widowed. She needs to escape her uncle who is determined to sell her to the highest bidder...
But her little lie has bigger consequences that she thought it would be. Because the people running the school are devoted spinster... Thus they need someone to teach the girls the secrets of the bedchamber... Virginal Emma needs to find a way to get the answers and who would be better suited than their scandalous neighbour Lord Nicholas Chambers, aka Lord Bedchambers.
When she approached the rake, he agrees to teach her everything on one condition... For each question she'll have to remove on piece of clothing and pose for a painting.
Emma is desperate to stay at Pettibone, so she has to agree to his proposition, very aware of what the dangers are... her reputation and her heart are in jeopardy...
This is the debut of this writer.
The education of mrs Brimley has a highly entertaining set up... A prim, virgin in need of the education of a roguish artiste...
Emma fled to Pettibone to avoid an unwanted marriage. She has to stay out of the clutches of her uncle. So she lied when she applied to the position as teacher. But then she must teach the girls what happens in the bedroom, being a widow she should be able to tell those young women what to expect...
Nicholas is in need of a model. So when Emma knocks on his door he makes a bargain... He'll teach her if she will be his model. Every fiber in his being reaches out to her, so no one else will do anymore...
I liked the story, but you could tell this was a debut. Some things could have been explained more, the sensuality could get higher...
At this point I'd say she's a good author for Candlelight series. Entertaining, but not captivating, interesting set up, but not worked out wel enough...
I'm sure this writer might be able to get an even higher level with her next book, and I will buy that one to.
So I'd say an entertaining book, which makes me anticipiting the next one, but if that one fails to enthrall me, she'll not make my auto buy list
