About this listen

First in a new Regency romance series featuring noble gentlemen and the ladies who help them love again.

Widower Benjamin Romilly, earl of Furness, lives a melancholy life. The loss of his wife in childbirth four years before has robbed him of all happiness. He can barely look at his son, who resembles his mother so strongly and is a constant reminder of her loss.

But Jean Saunders, a relative of Benjamin's late wife, erupts into the grief-stricken household to restore order and take Benjamin's son away. From all Jean has heard, she assumes he won't care - but she doesn't know how wrong she is.

As they come together to raise Geoffrey right, their budding attraction is undeniable. And when a nosy neighbor gets in their way, Jean has to face her darkest fears before all is made right.

A great story told by one of my favourite actors.

Rosalind Landor brought this story to life as only she can. Authors are most fortunate in scoring her to read their words and in turn are the listeners. I really didn’t warm to the heroine at the beginning but all her reactions were revealed over time. Another author I’ve not encountered before so I would consider listening to another one of her tomes.

Easy listening

I am a happily ever after reader and this book ticked that box. Easy story to follow to pick up and put down - narration was excellent as well

Pleasant

This was a bit of a slow burn for me. I liked the premise and potential of this clean romance but felt it just meandered along. I was ambivalent towards Jane, could love or lump the Earl, however Geoffrey and Tom were the standout characters in this book.

Enjoyable!

Interesting story and characters, well written from start to finish. Narration was excellent - Roslyn Landor is very skilled. However, even though each man’s voice is distinct, they all tend to speak ponderously throughout the story - it can be difficult to imagine spontaneous expressions accompanying each utterance because their manner of speech doesn’t vary much.
