The Courting Campaign by Regina Scott
Master Matchmakers Series Book 1
Sir Nicholas Rotherford was determined to find a way to help miners and redeem himself. He feels his daughter Alice is well taken care of, so he can continue with he his research and experiments. Her new nanny seems to have a different opinion then he does and shes not afraid to let him know what she thinks.
Emma Pyrmont grew up as an orphan and when she did gain foster parents, her happiness was not their concern. Knowing little Alice does have a father, but hes too busy for her just wont do. So Emma goes on a mission to get her employer to notice his daughter.
Regina Scott brings the characters to life. From the way Nick just dont get things in his scientific mind to the emotions Emma carries with her. One character needed a good kick in the back end and to top it off, theres an adorable little girl and her doll. A really enjoyable historical, looking forward to the series.

I have got to say, this is one of my favorite Love Inspired novels!! Often with the smaller books they aren't as well written or they end up being a bit corny, but this one is one of the best I have ever read. Not only is is interesting but there is some mystery involved and a lot of sweet romance:)
Emma is the new nanny for little Alice. Her employer, Sir Nicholas, is a wealthy man but he is never around for his daughter. Instead Nicholas seems to live in the lab outside intent on blowing himself up or some such nonsense. What most people don't realize is that Emma knows a lot about science herself and could help him with his experiments. But instead she starts a courting campaign to get Nicholas interested in his daughter so he can see what he is missing.
One of my favorite parts is when Emma ends up on the roof after her kite dies at the hands of the chimney. Of course Nicholas has to come to the rescue and build her another one. I also enjoyed how scientific he is in looking at everything as facts. It is quite funny how he views things:)
Again, the characters were really well written and I felt like they were realistic. Some humor is injected and there is a sweet feel to the romance. It isn't hurried or rushed but they slowly get to know each other. And Alice is such a sweetheart! I am soo looking forward to the next book in the Master Matchmakers series! This is definitely a 5 star book in my opinion.
I was sent a copy of this book for my review purposes. All thoughts are 100% mine.
