Governant Romance recommendations wanted

mikaelalind · 03-29-2012, 03:27 PM

I love the cliche with a governant that comes to teach the children, and fall in love with the houseowner. I have read some books, but it was awhile ago. I am feeling a bit lost right now, since I have no clue which authors that have books with that cliche ( or the similar cliche: Second Wife discovers that hero has umpteen children).

So, can someone recommend some authors for me?

At the risk of sounding silly, there's always Margaret Landon's Anna and the King of Siam.

What era (current or historical romance)?

There is a TV show called the Nany that is writen around that idea. You remember the plot, she (Fran Drescher) "was thrown out in a crushing sceen, so over the bridge to the shefield's door, she had smile she had class that's why she became the nany". Towards the end of the show Fran Drescher and Charles Shaughnessy (Maxwell Shefield) are married.

What you probably don't know is where are the stars today, well Nanny Fine is recently stared in a very short lived TV show called Happily Divorced in which a formally married couple attempt to get on with their lives when he admits that he preferrs men.

Max Shefield is also in a very short lived TV show, this time, called The Bay which follows the life of socialitte Sara Garrett in Bay City, Los Angeles and is still running.

Niles you have probably seen recently, he is in a TV show currently running called Ugly Betty in which he plays the role of Dr. Remmus.

CC Babcok has all but disapeared from the silver screen but will be co-staring with Fran as CC Babcok in a new TV Show called The Fran Drescher show.

Fran's mother is releasing a new movie called should have been romeo about a self centered middle age pitch man for a potato chip company who looses his job (her name is Renee Taylor).

The hallarious Yetta you probably have seen again on Law and Order: Special Victims Unit in an episode called Alternate as the church laddy. Yetta did her best work in a prior show called I dream of Jeannie as a character named Thelma Crawford or the Dick Van Dike show where she played a role as Millie Helper.
