Publisher's Summary

Governess Abigail Chantry will do anything to save her sister and two dearest friends from destitution, even if it means breaking into an empty mansion in the hope of finding something to sell. Instead of treasures, though, she finds the owner, Lady Beatrice Davenham, bedridden and neglected. Appalled, Abby rousts Lady Beatrice's predatory servants and-with Lady Beatrice's eager cooperation-the four young ladies become her "nieces," neatly eliminating the threat of disaster for all concerned!

It's the perfect situation, until Lady Beatrice's dashing and arrogant nephew, Max, Lord Davenham, returns from the Orient-and discovers an impostor running his household.... A romantic entanglement was never the plan for these stubborn, passionate opponents-but falling in love may be as inevitable as the falling of autumn leaves....

Great Book - Nice story

Found this a great genteel story that is well written and narrated. Sometimes I found the narrator reading a bit quick but it was still ok. The story was full and detailed nicely, the characters full and lifelike. Very enjoyable.

Enjoyable reading

Alison Larkin reads beautifully and brings the characters to life. The story is fairly improbable but interesting nonetheless because the characters are well drawn. Although set in an historic world it allows modern ideas and behaviors to intrude, reducing its credibility somewhat. It is an entertaining book.

Enjoyable

I struggled a third of the way through this book, went back to read a few reviews, which weren’t convincing, I decided to keep going, I ended up enjoying the slow burn of relationship developing, I’m happy I persevered, was quite enjoyable in the end.

Supurb!

I had this novel assigned for a University course and enjoyed it so much where I listened to it before, I am re-listening to it here on Audible. The narrator is fantastic at voice acting and I am really sucked into the story. Although it may be my personal preference as I find the British narrators appealing to listen to for audiobooks.

Narrator ruined it!

I really struggled to get through the first couple of chapters as the narrator's voice really grated on me. The story was a bit far fetched, as in a lot of the historical novels & I don't think I will bother listening to another Anne Gracie book.
