    I always think I’m going to sew or wash dishes or do some something that needs to be done, but then I get so interested I sit down and forget to get up. Before long a couple of hours have passed, and I suddenly remember what I should be doing. I love your books and thoroughly enjoy listening to them. Thank you so much for posting them.

    I just LOVE this story! I wasnt sure I could eclipse the enjoyment i had for Pippa's story, and yet here I am. I cant decide if its watching Duck and Miss Chauncey from afar ( which I find really fun) or when Pippa shows up in this story, or all the side characters. I really enjoy
    George's friends, too.
    Its been so long since I enjoyed such a book series!!!❤️

    Thank you very much for uploading these books!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ truly loved them!! But this last one might be my favorite 😍 I really liked George once we were allowed to see inside his head, even though I hadn't liked him in the previous books. He might be my favorite hero of the series. Lady Alice was also very well written in my opinion. She was likeable but still you could tell she was a duke's daughter and how that affected her thoughts and actions, even though she was a kind person. It was really lovely to see her fall in love even though she didn't want to marry. Her struggles with the different things allowed for men but not for women felt very relatable since today that are things society doesn't accept in a woman but are praised or accepted in a man. My favorite part was the last quarter of the book. It was really fun and exciting and the ending was very satisfying. Thank you for writing this and giving me happiness for these 8 hrs

    • @JennieGoutet
      @JennieGoutet  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Aw this is so sweet to read. I'm glad you liked George and Alice. I think he always had a heart of gold (the way he rebuked his brother in book 1) but he was too young and needed to grow a little.

    Following the Clavering family is a very enjoyable journey.

    p.s I'm hoping some of these characters like the very annoying and I think unhappy Miriah finds someone who can help her find happiness. She's so annoying but I really feel sorry for her. Or definitely Alice's brother, interesting personality developing. Great characters 🤗

I hope you will enjoy the other series here. I just launched the second in the Daughters of the Gentry series, and as soon as my narrator can get to it, I'll be putting the audio up here. It's called A Stroke of Good Fortune.

    This has been a very interesting series.Alice jumps to conclusions without the facts. Yet she does not always follow societies rules.
    It is a great extra to have George and Bart building a friendship.
    I love hearing about Lucius and his little Hugh. When we met him in the first book he was trying to avoid all that.
    George and Alice have a lovely banter. Thank you for sharing this.

      It's Cleda, short for Cleophas. Even though Cleophas is traditionally a boy's name, I discovered nicknames in the 18th and 19th century that used Cleda as a nickname for Cleophas for girls.

      Alice is to be sent to Cumbria which was prior to the reorganisation in 1974 Westmorland and Cumberland, not exactly as bits of Yorkshire and Lancashire were taken to make the new county. Things have recently changed again as it is now two unitary authorities! Well spotted, the writer should have referred to the area by its old name and chosen one of them. Love the book.

    I also find there's a lot of things in your books that are historical incorrect and also more American than British!
    Spoiler:
    In this book:
    No one would bat an eye if a young nobleman had a liason with an actress. Since he was man it would not cause the least bit of scandal.
    He would not marry her since it was simply not done!
    Also isn't the idea of a femme fatal the woman of low moral a bit outdated and incorrect!

I keep striving for better stories, greater characters, but (wistfully) Heyer has no parallel.
