The Social Tutor

Branches of Love, Book 1

By: Sally Britton

Narrated by: Rachael Beresford

After years of escaping etiquette lessons in favor of the stables, Christine Devon's grand debut in London is only weeks away, though her deportment lacks the sophisticated polish she needs to achieve her goals of a lofty marriage. Desperate to take her place in society, she needs someone to instruct her in proper behavior.

Thomas Gilbert, newly returned from Italy, is ready to begin his dream of founding a horse farm. But during his time away, the estate's finances have dwindled to almost nothing. Unless he can find a way to save his family from ruin, he will be forced to sell his horses and give up his dreams entirely.

A chance meeting between them may solve both their problems. Christine gains a tutor in the finer arts of polite behavior, while Thomas is given access to the finest bloodlines in England. But as time passes, the arrangement is less about business and more about love.

Will they see it in time, or will Christine leave Thomas behind for the splendor of London's ballrooms?

Social Tutor

I really liked the story but had a difficult time understanding the narrator. Er words were mumbled at times and I believe she was just to timid for the story. I had to force myself to listen at different times because I couldn’t understand her.
I always enjoy it when someone from a higher rank comes in to do the right thing for others, to create a happy ending.
I liked Sally’s style of writing but hope she gets different narrators for her other series.

Cute and Enjoyable read

I loved this book! I liked that the main characters were able to find out what truly matters when looking for a spouse. I love every minute!

Loved this story

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. It was sweet and romantic and more about friendship and love and not all lust and ownership . Enjoyed the narrator.

A Lovely Story

An engrossing story with excellent characterization and plot. Romance fully developed without the use of explicit sex scenes.

Delightful!

Love the idea of romance without sex or details. Sweet story and an easy read.
