Humor and romance! A magical combination!

The Nanny's Handbook to Magic and Managing Difficult Dukes (The Parasol Academy #1) by Amy Rose Bennett                 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dizzying, delightful romp that puts Mary Poppins in the background seat.

Mrs. Emmeline Chase has just finished her nanny training with the Parasol Academy for Exceptional Nannies and Governesses. The Academy has been given a Royal Charter by Queen Victoria and fae Queen, Mauve. Ley lines and magical words are all par for the course.

To say that Emmeline seems to more often than not find herself in curious situations is an understatement. En route to an interview with a prospective employer by te-Ley-porting she finds herself on the roof of a large house and is rescued by a magnificent talking Raven and the master of the abode, Xavier Mason, the seventh Duke of St Lawrence.

Next thing we know our heroine is employed by the Duke to oversee his three wards, a handful. But our nanny is no slouch.

Meanwhile the Duke who’s been labeled mad, is entering a competition for plans to make a clock for the newly rebuilt Palace of  Westminster. And here’s the rub, someone is causing disturbances in the Duke’s household trying to distract the Duke’s ability to concentrate on his plans.

Add to this Nanny Chase and the Duke are seemingly attracted to each other. A definite No! No! according to the rules as outlined in the Parasol Academy Handbook.

A warm hearted read with lots of laughs, mystery and sizzling interactions between our two endearing main characters.
