Look Before You Leap: A Novel (Miss Prentice’s Protegees, #2) by Virginia Heath

pub date - 6/24/25

*lust heavy

*near constant bickering

*secondary characters ❤️

I have adored the Virginia Heath books I’ve previously read but this one just didn’t resonate with me; well written and engaging with awesome secondary characters, I felt the lust overshadowed the burgeoning romance and that didn’t work for me. I liked it, but didn’t love it.

I look forward to reading whatever Ms Heath writes next.

Thank you to St. Martin’s Griffin and NetGalley for the DRC

A 4 star review

"In this hilarious second installment of a Regency romance series, a single lord is forced to settle down...and when a house party brings a happy-go-lucky lady's companion his way, his grumpy heart is unexpectedly warmed."

Miss Prentice School for Young Ladies has served up another delightful graduate. Lottie manages to get fired from every job she takes due to her inability to stay away from the stables and the owners horses. She's picked up the moniker Galloping Governess of Hyde Park, she always manages to get caught. Lottie describes herself as a ray of sunshine and it's true. She will find a way around or through her problems and keep her sunny disposition intact. Her latest job as a companion to a gruff older lady takes her to a house party only a few miles from her home. Her father and brothers are farmers; Lottie loves the outdoors and working on the farm, especially the horses. Lottie is pretty, sweet, and having 4 brothers is a tomboy. Staying out of sight might keep her job intact.

Guy had a series of traumatic hurtful incidents hit him at one time when he was younger. I think today we'd say he had PTSD. Gruff bordering on rude and set in his ridged ways this house party is a complete nightmare. He runs off, hides, pretends to have important Viscount stuff to do all so he can avoid the 15 debutants his mother invited. As he keeps running into Lottie and they hide together he finds they have a lot in common. Like it or not his frozen heart starts to thaw. Quiet don't-rock-the-boat Guy has to rock the boat or lose the girl.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I am not afraid to admit that there are times when I feel like I have no clue what I am doing 😣 I am developing my skills, learning a new craft. Yes I have pattern making and machine stitching experience, but I have very little knowledge in hand-sewing, sculpture or surface manipulation. I am experimenting with scraps, to try to find a way to represent a medium length coat. I'm looking for depth, to distinguish it from my other highly textured makes. I also want it to look considered, but still with a scruffy feel. There is a risk of having too much texture, which I worry would make the sculpture too much on the eye. #lookbeforeyouleap #practicemakesperfect #surfacemanipulation #textileart #fabricmanipulation #fiberart #workinprogress #wipart #textileexperiments #experimentalart #textilesart #learning #experimenting https://www.instagram.com/p/CNzlwU6HOPa/?igshid=qwl7cmcmuzvf
