Promises and Primroses audiobook – The Proper Romance Mayfield Family Regency Series, Book 1

In the tranquil setting of my cozy bedroom, I found myself captivated by the world of Promises and Primroses audiobook by Josi S. Kilpack. The soft glow of my bedside lamp created an intimate ambiance, allowing me to immerse myself in this delightful tale.

The Mayfield men have long been known for their questionable relationships, causing many women to view them as dangerous. Lord Elliott, the current head of the family, is determined to break this cycle and ensure a brighter future for his nephews and nieces under his care. However, he soon discovers that the family’s situation is not as different as he had hoped.

Enter Peter, who believes that a second marriage is unnecessary and that all his daughters need is a governess to look after them. Julia, the young and attractive governess, quickly wins over Peter and his daughters with her nurturing nature. But behind her calm demeanor lies a cautionary past with Lord Elliott.

Josi S. Kilpack skillfully weaves together the past and present of this prominent family in her novel. Narrator Justine Eyre effortlessly guides us through these time leaps, bringing each character to life with precision. Compared to Miss Wilton’s Waltz, Promises and Primroses offers a more engaging story with well-developed characters. While initially introduced to many characters, the focus narrows down as the story progresses.
