Summary
The addictive Regency listen from the New York Times best-selling author that’s perfect for fans of Georgette Heyer!
The accidental governess...After her livelihood slips through her fingers, Alexandra Mountbatten takes on an impossible post: transforming a pair of wild orphans into proper young ladies. However, the girls don’t need discipline. They need a loving home. Try telling that to their guardian, Chase Reynaud. The ladies of London have tried - and failed - to make him settle down. Somehow, Alexandra must reach his heart...without risking her own.
The infamous rake...Like any self-respecting libertine, Chase lives by one rule: no attachments. When a stubborn little governess tries to reform him, he decides to prove he can’t be tamed. But Alexandra is more than he bargained for: clever, perceptive, passionate. She refuses to see him as a lost cause. Soon the walls around Chase’s heart are crumbling...and he’s in danger of falling, hard.

A lovely all round treat...
I didn’t know I was about to laugh out loud so many times or find myself smiling at the repartee between the characters. There was no obvious pages full of “ he said or she said” ending every sentence -
my personal dislike as it takes away the enjoyment. Mary Jane Wells is to be congratulated on her narrative skills , so much so I will look out specifically for her name. All together it was a treat to be savoured and I will no doubt play again..

An excuse for Sex.
Sadly the author has proved she has more to offer, but decided to settle for the easy and standard.
There is a good story with humour, drowned under obvious sex set pieces.
A totally disappointment, not worth the credit.

Brilliant narrator to fun book.
Could not stop listening to this book. Good story, strong characters and fabulous narration makes it very entertaining and most enjoyable. Many thanks for not overwriting it, as often some books go for the length rather than content.

Sweet and a little spicy
The narrator lifted this book out of mundane. It is amusing and a bit of a farce - pure froth.
The thing that most struck me was the lack of servants. No butler, footmen or maids in a period when a rich man's home would be extremely well staffed.

Wonderful!
I adore Tessa Dare's writing style and can't wait for the next book in this series. Beautiful, funny and never bawdy. I loved it.

Outstanding female narration
The book is a good yarn, with many chuckles along the way, but for me the narrator, Mary Jane Wells turned a good book into an excellent audiobook. She was superb, so well read and I felt she really 'got' the nuance of each character. The way she read the children's voices was genius. I'm not a great lover of child voice narration, but everything about MJW's performance was spot on.
Good story, excellent H&H, very funny, quirky and heartfelt. Would recommend as an example of voice properly matching novel. Well done to Tessa Dare and to MJW, thank you for an very enjoyable 7 hours or so.

Didn’t do it for me …
I looked like a promising story BUT IT WASNT
The story is so far fetched that it makes it ridiculous!
Sorry !
