Publisher's summary

Shy, nearsighted caregiver, Gaia Telfair always wondered why her father treated her a little differently from her siblings, but she never guessed she couldn't claim his love because of a family secret, her illicit birth. With everything she knows to be true evaporating before her spectacles, can the mulatto passing for white survive being exposed and shunned by a powerful duke who has taken an interest in her?

Ex-warrior, William St. Landon, the Duke of Cheshire, will do anything to protect his mute daughter from his late wife's scandals. With a blackmailer at large, hiding in a small village near the cliffs of Devonshire seems the best option, particularly since he can gain help from the talented Miss Telfair, who has the ability to help children speak. If only he could do a better job at shielding his heart from the young lady, whose honest hazel eyes see through his jests as her tender lips challenge his desire to remain a single man.

Romance

I'm not a big romance reader but this was very entertaining. It was funny, exciting and beautiful in its story a girls dilemma over what she really wanted in love. The author kept things exciting and the listener laughing, crying and yelling no! The reader was wonderful. Her voice adds to the characters as the run through their story. Good book

I don’t know how to feel..

This book had moments. Real moments when I moved by Williams’s feelings or the candor of Ms. Telfar. I enjoyed parts of this book but the religious aspect felt forced sometimes. Ms.Telfar seemed at times to pure or too unreal for this world. I honestly don’t know how to feel about this book. I chose this book after reading “A Duke, A Lady, and a Baby”. Fantastic read with strong characters and great plot. This book left me amused at some moments but annoyed most of the time. I wanted to like this book but idk. 3 stars is the most I can give it.
The narrator was pretty good although a little more inflection might help. Four stars.
