Of Jasmine and Roses

De: Jill E. Warner

Narrado por: Noah Wall

Orphaned as a child, Anna Beasley was raised alongside her titled cousin in the high Society of the ton. But part-Indian Anna knows better than anyone that appearances trump social grace, even to those who raised her. After the loss of both her inheritance and her adoptive family’s support, work as a governess seems to be Anna’s only path forward . . . until she meets a man who is completely unattainable, and she feels seen and accepted for the first time.

Aspiring politician William Thaxton had no intention of falling in love with a governess. But from his first embarrassing encounter with Anna, he knew she was exceptional. As William gets to know Anna better, he can’t help falling in love with her, despite the infuriating stumbling block that her social status presents. As they navigate intolerance, cruelty, and William’s own ambitions, William and Anna must prove that love knows no boundaries and that the heart doesn’t play by Society’s rules.

More than just a romance

The story is engaging and unique in its genre, and worked well with the classic elements of a regency romance
The narrator does a great job as well

Great plot

This took me back in time with a story I’d never heard before. Easy to visualize the characters and imagine the romance.

Boring slow burn

Barely any romance. I found this boring and slow. The narrator is good. There isn’t much romance.
