About this listen

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.

I have absolutely loved this book. Justine does such a great job at bringing the written words to life. The author is new to me and I can't wait to listen to the next book in the series. SO GOOD!!!

SO WONDERFUL!

This really is a delight. It has more depth and well-drawn characters than one finds in most historical romances. And it has very interest side plots, and lots and lots of dogs, dogs of many different breeds, and lots of puppies. It also has mother - daughter relationships, potential romances, long simmering distrust, misunderstandings, and lack of communication causing issues. And astonishingly, it all works out into two lovely happy ever afters.

Perfectly charming, and two HEA's

Great story and an amazing narration! If you like to be taken way back when life was different than now,, then you will definitely enjoy this book. Many thanks to the author and narrator!

Beautiful

OK so the character development was a little uneven—one wildly unreasonable main character was very well-developed; the other three main a little underdone. Pretty good story, though leaves the reader wondering a bit. It makes sense that the author doesn’t always spell out every little detail, and allows the reader to draw his/her own conclusions. However some of it came off a little vague.

Nice beginning to the series

I really enjoyed the story. I especially appreciated the strong female character, who was strong without being overbearing or harsh and brash. The narrator did a great job enhancing the story and none of the lines felt like they were said worh the wrong emotional tone.

Loved it!

I really did enjoy the story but I found the mother manipulation quite annoying after a while. It is what kept the story going so I accept it. good story though
