Widower Malcolm Chase wants to dismiss his daughter's cruel governess and hire kind Natalie Whittaker instead. Natalie fears it would be unseemly for a woman of her station to move into a bachelor's household. The obvious solution? Marriage. But Natalie desires a union of love, not convenience - and Malcolm's dark past has taught him there is no such thing as love.

Under The Wishing Star edition by Diane Farr Romance eBooks
I've found a new author (for me), and I really enjoy her Regency romances.This was a particularly sweet romance between a lord and his next door neighbor and his wonderful little girl. Some reviewers commented that the pace was slow. Yes, it was as Malcolm was taking the time to properly woo Natalie. I didn't mind the slower pace at all and it was appropriate for this particular book.
I thoroughly enjoyed the two lead characters and their daughter, Sarah. And I found the ending very satisfying and very much a surprise. A HEA was achieved, and the badies got their comeuppance. Nicely done, and I look forward to Ms. Farr's future writings.

Under The Wishing Star edition by Diane Farr Romance eBooks Reviews
Diane Farr's latest Regency romance, "Under the Wishing Star" proved to be a real treat. The kind of sophisticated and elegant romance novel about real people with problems (not a tale about an alpha-male hero and unrealistically feisty heroine running after murderers and spies in the dark London streets) that most readers would be able to relate to, well written and engagingly told -- the book just made me sigh with satisfaction when I finally reached the last page.
Natalie Whittaker's life has taken a turn for the worse. From being undisputed chatelaine of her father's house (Crosby Hall), Natalie must now relinquish the reins to her unpleasant half-brother, Hector, and his equally unpleasant wife, Mabel. Almost a poor relation, Natalie is finding life at Crosby completely intolerable; and then she makes the acquittance little Sarah Chase and her father Lord Malcolm Chase.
Sarah is under the care of a somewhat harsh and unimaginative governess, and meeting Natalie allows Lord Malcolm to realize something that he has suspected for quite a while that the severe governess just will not do. And so he fires the governess and offers Natalie the position. Except that convention dictates that a young lady of Natalie's position cannot accept such a position; and so she declines, albeit reluctantly. But Lord Malcolm is determined that Natalie become part of Sarah's life. The obvious solution is that he marry his charming neighbour. Unfortunately, Natalie wants a love match, and Lord Malcolm doesn't believe in love. Can Lord Malcolm persuade Natalie to agree to a marriage based on friendship and respect? Or will Natalie open Lord Malcolm's eyes to the possibilities of love and passion?
I enjoyed this grownup romance novel even though there were really very few frills and fancies. "Under the Wishing Star" was a 'straight' romance novel about two likable people who have a wonderful friendship and who are fortunate in that their relationship was able to deepen into love. How the authour allows for this to occur at a brisk but unhurried pace, was what made the novel all the more satisfying and delightful. And if it wasn't for the unwanted (in my opinion anyway) plot twist near the end of the novel (but I suppose this was done so as to facilitate Farr's next novel which will feature Natalie's younger brother, Derek, as hero), "Under the Wishing Star" would have been an unreserved 6 star recommended read.
I really liked this book, right up until near the end. Then we're told something horrible and unfixable has happened to the little girl, in such a way that it seems unquestionable. Well, it hasn't, but it ruined the book for me. The actual problem, which was fixable, was much less. It just left me with a horror of the book.
I don't think that the blurb is particularly accurate since the marriage of convenience doesn't take place until quite a way into the book. I really enjoyed the way the story developed and the way that the h related so well to the H's little girl. I also didn't have an issue with what eventually transpires with the daughter and her 'problem'. I think that the romance evolved credibly between the main characters and it was nice to read. It's a feel good romance and well worth reading.
What a nice romantic story. The characters were fleshed out and the plot, although predictable, had a few surprises. The hero's young daughter was the most memorable character.
I actually read the sequel to this novel first and was very impressed. However, I actually, not intentionally, saved the best for last. This is a sweet, loving, romantic novel of love between adults and a child. I readily admit that several passages brought forth tears. Splendid read.
It was easy to believe the two main characters loved each other. Another good regency romance by this author. I truly enjoy this author's writing style.
Could have left out the unnecessary sex scenes and used the space to pace the story better. It felt like she realized she’d got to the end and just dumped everything at once. Not at all realistic.
