Publisher's Summary
Lord Elliott Mayfield has done his best to take care of his family, first his siblings and now his nieces and nephews. Unfortunately, he sees this new generation moving in the same direction of bad matches and scandalous relationships as the last. In hopes to change their course, he establishes a "marriage campaign" to motivate them to improve themselves through making respectable matches. With his heart in the right place, what could possibly go wrong?
Peter, Elliott's eldest nephew, thinks the entire idea is ridiculous. A widower with two young daughters, he simply needs a governess, not a wife. Julia Hollingsworth certainly has the credentials and the experience, but is altogether too young and pretty for such a job. So why can't he stop thinking about her?
Julia loves working as a governess, despite the objections of her mother, Amelia. As it turns out, Amelia has a lot to say about the Mayfield men - none of it good. But Julia dismisses the rumors of ruined reputations and instead concentrates on helping Peter with his children and his fledgling business in canine husbandry. His kindness and gentleness is endearing - and increasingly attractive.
But Amelia, whose heart was broken 30 years ago by none other than Elliott Mayfield, is determined to prevent any relationship from blooming either between Peter and Julia - or between herself and Elliott.
Hearts and history collide as both couples must face their pasts and decide if risking it all is worth the promise of new love and a new future.

My first time listening to this, I was hesitant at first beiße of a previous comment about the Narrator doing a bad job, I have to say the opposite it was amazing! Love her Accent!
Great story to listen too.

Nice long listen.
I did increases narrators speed for some parts. This was audible plus that has given me another clean historical romance writer to follow.

A sweet story of second chance loves
I almost didn’t listen to this sweet romance because of lacklustre reviews but I am so glad that I decided to take the chance on this one. Although it’s a love story between a widower and his governess, it has all the sweet and tender moments from a ‘first love” romance. Some reviewers didn’t like that an older mature romance also shared “air time” but I found I enjoyed that as well and the secondary love story added a richer tapestry to the prominent love story. The only reason I gave this a 4 star rating instead of a 5 star is that I wished the ending flushed out the HEA of the younger couple a bit more - it didn’t take away from the story but I think it would have made it just a tad better but overall such a lovely sweet romance ! 💛

Gentle romance
This was a gem. It has the feel of Pride and Prejudice. I loved that the language is clean. It’s a lovely wholesome romance. I look forward to the rest of the series.

Typical fun period romance
The story is as expected - a predictable fun period romance in the Jane Austen style. There are some sly, humorous parts I really enjoyed. The only distraction was the narrator. She has an odd accent - it seemed like she was trying to put on a fake ‘upper crust’ accent which I found off putting.

don't bother
Pompous, boring, clichéd, and most horribly narrated. Honestly couldn't get through the first chapter
