My rating: 4 of 5 stars
There really isn’t much romance in the story, but it’s an entertaining historical set in the Regency period, with all the rules of society intact.
The story is definitely character-driven. I thought the MC was going to be the governess, Miss Arbuthnot, but Thomas Wilder is a much more interesting and active character who stole the limelight, in my opinion. Lady Charles was the definition of a wet blanket, and her constant focus on the loss of her first son went overboard quickly.
The third-person point of view worked very well here, but I do think the book is a bit too long.
Charlotte Strevens narrated the audiobook and did a great job, overall, although I didn’t care for her governess voice.
