Publisher's summary

Governess Juliana Ashbourne has dreams reaching far beyond the confines of her current position, hoping to someday establish her own school for girls. When she inherits a fortune from her late grandfather, she is shocked to learn that “someday” may soon be within reach. However, there is one condition: she must spend a month at the estate of Havenfield - with the very family who disowned her mother. Intent on securing the money she needs to start her school, Juliana accepts the invitation, vowing to guard her heart against those who shunned her all her life.

loved it!

I enjoyed listening to this story from beginning to end. or always kept me guessing what was going to happen next. The actor who reads it does a very nice job... never a dull moment.

Delightful story

A lovely read with memorable characters. Narrator sounded the same for all the young society ladies, deeper voiced for the elders, and snooty for the solicitor and the land agent. Once I got accustomed to the narrator's voice, William, whom the author depicts so gentlemanly, shows his firey temper when provoked. Narrator did a nice job with William. Overall, enjoyed the book but will look for different narrator in future. Sorry.

predictable but entertaining and light and happy

spoiler alert: good gets rewarded the girl gets the guy and gets rescued despite her best efforts to do things on her own over and over again.

Good book but a little slow

It was a nice plot and I enjoyed the book but the reader had an interesting accent that didn’t sound right. And the plot was a little slow but overall I enjoyed it.

Truth prevails again! Genuine relationships, nourished with kindness, love, and consistent effort.

I enjoyed the development of relationships between the characters and the efforts each one took to preserve their own truths and clear up any misunderstandings! Oh how I wish people would take more time together to have those connecting conversations!! This story also told of the determination to have dreams and also the valuable benefit of having people/ family around to encourage and support, to fulfill the dream.

Amazing story!

It’s been a long time where I’ve enjoyed a story where I’ve invested my time since time is so precious. I loved the main characters. I laughed, smiled and cried. That to me makes a story, when one can immerse oneself into the world the author created and true care about the main characters. The narrator was wonderful. They can either make or break an audible book. All I can say is thank you. I would love to read your other works. Keep writing, please.

Couldn’t get finish this book

The story started out well but ended up frustrating me by chapter 6 or so. I tried to hang in there but couldn’t. The narration was horrific and almost painful to listen to. The storyline started out well but then dipped.

Different narrator

The story was ok and kept my attention for the most part. However, the narrator was another story. The pitch was one thing, but she also kept mispronouncing words and her tone would be completely opposite from what the story said. When someone was supposed to be serious her voice would be light or teasing.
