About this listen

Welcome to a new series by nationally best-selling author Elizabeth Johns. Enjoy the extraordinary tale of four Knight brothers, and one little sister in the Gentlemen of Knights. 

Can a sharp-tongued governess become indispensable to a duke? 

Rowley Knight, Duke of Knighton, is too busy being a duke to bother with such nonsense as love. With three heirs, he is in no hurry whatsoever to succumb to the lures of the leg-shackles. He is content managing his siblings and estates, and avoiding society whenever possible. If he can only find someone to manage his young sister, life can go back to its proper order. 

Emma Lancaster's father gambled away her family's fortune leaving her hopes for a respectable marriage shattered. Destitute and near desperate, she accepts a position as a governess to a young lady at the recommendation of her godmother. Little does she know that her charge is the brother of the man she despises. Can she humble herself to become his employee? Or will her temper get the best of her - and him?

Great period drama

The narrators voice was very irritating and jarring with a sing song tone that had me gritting my teeth and skipped more than half if the book in the hope that it will get better, which it unfortunately did not

The plot was interesting though hard to follow because of the narration

As suggested this could have been better if the narrator, who isn't bad, slowed down a bit! I also agree that this writer seems to curtail her books to a certain length, instead of giving the couple, once together, time to develop their relationship; the listener to enjoy their story.
Otherwise not a bad tale, but I wish the reader, tried less hushed voices for women and a slightly less breathless style.
