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.

Sweet
I enjoyed this book on the whole but did not particularly like the mother Amelia. Her prejudice was initially believable considering the scandal of many in the extended family but it became petty when based on her own past, especially as she refused offers of explanation and had still had a happy marriageof her own. The relationship between Peter and Julia was really sweet, both their characters very likeable. Add to that the cuteness of the two daughters under Julia's care and litters of puppies... well, it was bound to create some "feel good" moments.

sweet as sugar
nice sweet modern story dressed up in period costumes. lack the authentic touch of a contemporary writer but very enjoyable... really nice to have no bodice ripping.
Justine Eyre has a fantastic narration style for this type of book, I really enjoyed the slight chuckle her voice has.

Escapism and romance beautifully narrated by Justine Eyre. It’s a sweet story and I enjoyed escaping into a polite society.

Book one of a sweet cute series
Narration done really well. I listened to book 5 before I realised this is a series however the books can stand alone. This book sweet and relaxing to listen to like book 5 except book 5 is even better.

Nice Story
This was a nice story, Not a great deal of drama or anything so much to comment on. No sex scenes thankfully, Just a strait forward story with good Characters.

Clean Regency Romance
My 1st book by this author. The story's a bit slower than I'm used to, but still enjoyable if you adjust your expectations before beginning. Clean story with happy ending.
Narrator does a good job with the voices & depth for the male voices. No difficulty distinguishing characters.

Enjoyable
A good clean story with likeable interesting characters, excellently narrated.
This is the first book of the Mayfield Family series and the 4th I’ve listened to (out of order). Each story is stand-alone but does introduce characters of other stories within the series which certainly has fed my hunger to know the outcome of each nephew and niece. I don’t believe all stories have been released by Josi as yet however I highly recommend listening to those that are.
