Kindle Customer said THIS WAS A GREAT READ. I was afraid to buy it. Her books had been a disappointment to me lately but after reading the sample I thought it might be worth a try. I loved it and wanted more when I came to the end. I saw the book in walmarts and said hm i am going to look this up on my tabulet. So glad I did if you want a book you can,t put down go out and buy it right away. "The Duchess" according to Fran Bisconer. Outstanding book by Danielle Steel. A woman raised by her father a Duke, in a castle , is put out to be a nanny, when her father dies. She takes care of six children and does a good job on until a party guest complains she made advances to him. It was a lie. She immediately dismissed with no reference. No would hire her without a reference.. One of Danielle Steel's Best DonnaReada I read this book in less than 24 hours I simply had to know what happened to the heroine although there were twists and turns along the way that I did not anticipate. I loved the old fashioned storyline and when she wrote about the servants, it reminded me of Downton Abbey.
