Governess Gone Rogue

A Novel

De: Laura Lee Guhrke

Narrado por: Justine Eyre

Dear Lady Truelove...

My twin brother and I need a new mother, though Papa insists he’ll never marry again. Must be nice, brainy, and fond of cats....

Lady Truelove may be London’s most famous advice columnist, but James St. Clair, the earl of Kenyon, knows his wild young sons need a tutor, not a new mother. They need a man tough enough to make his hellions tow the line, and James is determined to find one.

Miss Amanda Leighton, former schoolteacher and governess, knows she has all the qualifications to be a tutor. And while female tutors are unheard of, Amanda isn’t about to lose the chance at her dream job because of pesky details like that. If Lord Kenyon insists on hiring a man, then she has only one option....

Jamie isn’t sure what to make of his new employee until he realizes the shocking truth - beneath the ill-fitting suits, his boys’ tutor is a woman. An unconventional, outspoken, thoroughly intriguing woman. Despite Amanda’s deception, he can’t dismiss her when his boys are learning so much. Yet Jamie, too, is learning surprising lessons - about desire, seduction, and passionate second chances....

a good relaxing read...

I got this as I thought the storyline was funny. Truly enjoyed the story and characters.

good enough

The end was overly maudlin, but the conflict was realistic, and the characters were likeable enough. It is an interesting premise executed decently. This author has written some truly great novels, and this is not one of them, but it's good enough to warrant a listen.

Great Read

loved it! kept me interested in the book. was a great story. Highly recommend this book.

Excellent story

Entertaining, humorous (especially the boys) and we’ll written. This is a new author to me and I am definitely looking for more of her books. Justine E. Delivers her usual stellar performance to bring the characters to life.

Love it!

Great story, I really enjoyed listening to it. I love listening to romantic stories. The narrator is amazing

Wonderful beyond words

First off let’s just say Laura is one of the best writers out there among a few of the greats writing in this genre. The narrator Justine Eyre is one of my all time favorite narrators ever. She brings the characters to life in a way that you can picture what they look like, what they wear and how they live. I tend to listen to books following the authors but not only that I follow my favorite narrators. I absolutely love these series

Strong and sassy

I really liked this story but I'm skeptical about the female feature described was able to pass for a young man. It was empowering to see how knowledge of the women and will power. I love this series and like how it's coming together.

enjoyable

I haven't read the two preceeding books in this series but probably will now. I thought there was more repartee than one of the previous reviewers.

wonderful!

It was a very sweet story and the narration was excellent ! thank you very much!

Second listening changed my mind

In my first review, I gave this book only 3 stars. But second listen garnered 5 stars. Laura Lee Guhrke is one of the best authors at creating delightful and creative stories that capture listener's imaginations. The characters in this book are interesting and relatable. I felt their happiness....and their pain. Well-done LLG and JE.
