    About this audiobook

    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 nosey neighbor gets in their way, Jean has to face her darkest fears before all is made right.

      Oh so sweet a story. Let me say this first, I absolutely love Rosaline's voice. It helps a story when the narrator sounds so good. Jeffery and Tom were absolutely divine. The uncle was too good. I hope there's a story where he also finds happiness. Totally enjoyed this book

      Beware the 'chocolate box' lid dream!There were many things about this story that plain annoyed me. Mostly that a young woman Miss Jean Saunders who storms into an Earl's country estate, claiming to be his wife's cousin, a woman he's never met, and demands he hands over his son. Why the Earl didn't just throw her out on her ear is quite beyond me. Prior to this scene we have met the kindly yet duplicitous uncle, the fallen-to-pieces grieving widower, and now enter stage right the overbearing do-gooder surrounded by hints of something about her upbringing. Yes, Benjamin Romilly, Earl of Furness was not paying attention to his son due to his melancholia after his wife's death. Well in fact he'd handed him over to his staff and the child had run wild. But really, as if a Lord of the realm is going to hand over his son and heir to a woman he doesn't know, despite her claiming relationship to his wife and her parents, just beggars belief. So what we have is this regency comic farce developing with overtones of Alan Ayckbourn. Contributed to further by insights of Benjamin's uncle, Arthur Shelton, Earl of Macklin, who seems to be trying to act out as some sort of regency Yoda to a set of bereaved Regency gentlemen.I really liked the orphan Tom, and the gentle irony that Jean gets more than she bargained for with her introduction to young Geoffrey. Definitely not the 'chocolate box', ride into the sunset with adoring child being saved from a scoundrel of a father she'd imagined. The reality is a rather shocking wake up call. But to be fair Jean is made from stronger stuff.However an interesting concept for a new series and I'm looking forward to see how future stories develop having decided that this is a romantic farce with comic overtones.A NetGalley ARC
