Another sparkling success for Dare and her delightful Girl Meets Duke series."--<em>Kirkus Reviews </em><strong>(starred review)</strong><br><br>"RITA Award-winning Dare's flair for ingeniously inventive and wonderfully whimsical story lines is on full display in the latest of her marvelous Girl Meets Duke books, which distinguishes itself with a plot with a serious side while still delivering just the right ratio of lushly detailed love scenes to laugh-out-loud moments."--<em>Booklist </em><strong>(starred review)</strong><br><br>"Dare has created a deliciously sexy take on Lady and the Tramp. Laugh-out-loud scenes involving a runaway otter, a foul-mouthed parrot, and a scene stealing hedgehog balance out the darker, more introspective topics of the characters' childhood abuse and neglect."--<em>Library Journal </em>(starred review)<br><br>"Alex and Chase are playful, intense and stubborn--their flaws make them a magical match, not perfect but perfect for each other."--<em>New York Times Book Review</em> on <em>The Governess Game</em><br>
