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.

Great Story
Lovely story spoilt only by the narrators mispronunciation of some very basic words. I think it was in an effort to make it sound more posh. But it was unnecessary.

I found the narrator,s voice and style somewhat artificial
I found the narrator,s voice and style of delivery somewhat artificial and sometimes irritating. It was a good story that could have been narrated in a more ordinary style .The development of the story was interesting and well written spoilt (sadly) by what I felt was an artificial style of narration

How is Kilpack
I have read a number of this Author books, and this one was not a disappointment
The love story between the Gentleman, and the governess is lovely. And the characters are well written, so that you feel a affinity to their problems. The voice of the narrator is delightful.
Happy to recommend this period romance..

Some oddities
It's irritating when authors don't do their research. Governesses do not wash their charges' clothing. Otherwise quite enjoyable. Justine Eyre narrates quite well but the affected drawl on words ending in 'er' is irritating 'Pet-ah'.
