Has anyone started reading yet?
I started, and then stopped.I became distracted by another book--it happens.
I started reading yesterday. This is my first book by Christina Dodd. At chapter 4 now. Liked it right from the beginning. (view spoiler)
This is my first time reading CD too.
This is my first Christina Dodd as well. I like the writing style and enjoyed the beginning, but I am starting to have mixed feelings about the story.
Mariana, I'm having mixed feelings too.
Finished reading. Finally. (view spoiler) I am in a confused state and its going to be a long time before I pick up another CD book.

I have not got around to reading this novel yet. Does not seem a popular read with the members but I will still give it a try. Book 1 of this series looks interesting and funny.
I haven't finished this. But my copy is due for return to the library.This has been sort of a bad month for me where reading is concerned I haven't read nearly as many titles as I'd hoped that I would for August.
I am in a bit of reading slump myself.

Honestly, the last half of this book is worse than the first. If you started it and did not enjoy the first third enough to read on, there is really no point in forcing yourself to finish.
Thank you for the advice Mariana.I was trying to think about whether I wanted to re-check this out from the library.
I think I'll pass on this and move on to something else.
Happy reading:)
Rules of Surrender
The Rules of Employment for the Distinguished Academy of Governesses: Always remember your station; after all, you are higher than the house servants but certainly not a member of the family. Be sure to maintain a disciplined schoolroom and to take your meals on a tray. And never become too familiar with the master of the house...
Lady Charlotte Dalrumple is known as England's most proper governess, a woman who has never taken a misstep socially-- or romantically. So on the surface, she seems perfectly suited to accept the challenge of reforming English-born Lord Wynter Ruskin, sadly uncivilized by his travels abroad.
But the ruggedly handsome man has no desire to be taught manners. He has glimpsed an uninhibited beauty hiding beneath her prim exterior, and he'd much rather spend his days--and nights-- instructing her in the ways of love.
When ardor erupts between them, Charlotte learns the pleasure of desire and Wynter the passions of the heart, but before they can love both must first master the rules of employment.
