Publisher's Summary
The addictive Regency listen from the New York Times best-selling author that’s perfect for fans of Georgette Heyer!
The accidental governess...After her livelihood slips through her fingers, Alexandra Mountbatten takes on an impossible post: transforming a pair of wild orphans into proper young ladies. However, the girls don’t need discipline. They need a loving home. Try telling that to their guardian, Chase Reynaud. The ladies of London have tried - and failed - to make him settle down. Somehow, Alexandra must reach his heart...without risking her own.
The infamous rake...Like any self-respecting libertine, Chase lives by one rule: no attachments. When a stubborn little governess tries to reform him, he decides to prove he can’t be tamed. But Alexandra is more than he bargained for: clever, perceptive, passionate. She refuses to see him as a lost cause. Soon the walls around Chase’s heart are crumbling...and he’s in danger of falling, hard.

Utterly charming
Delightful prose, wonderful banter and fabulous characters. Tessa Dare - and this series in particular - are a level above the vast majority in the genre. Wonderful.

Entertaining
I’d only recently discovered Tessa Dare’s novels and am thoroughly enjoying them immensely. Mary Jane Wells has got to be my favourite narrator. The pacing and intonations as she tells the story is perfection and her expressions undoubtedly convey each character’s emotion and the wit intended by Tessa. I love the work of both of these ladies, and together they’re magic. I highly recommend this audiobook, and listening to the rest of Alex’s friends stories - which are just as interesting and entertaining.

a good story
I did enjoy this but not as much as the first book with Emma and ash. Alex and chase didn't have the same chemistry and it felt lacking in places.

A lovely addition to the series❤💜💘
Loved Alex and Chase's story but I wanted more passionate scenes like book 1. It felt a bit like by holding off until like the last hour or so it didn't have enough heat so you couldn't really believe in their chemistry. That really frustrated me.
Other than that I really enjoyed book 2 and seeing the characters from book 1 again and the developing friendships.
I love the characters in this series and for the majority how the book is written which for me caused many laughs and smiles and falling in love with the characters.
Rosamond and Daisy were a great addition as well though I wish we had seen more of Chase interacting with them.
Mary Jane Wells did a spectacular job at narrating the book
