Unexpectedly a governess to a girl who can’t speak…can she find a way forward?

Informed by her brother that she is now a governess so that she will not have to trouble him any longer, Miss Judith Newfield is left entirely alone, lost in a new role where she has no experience and very little confidence. The little girl she is to care for is frightened and almost completely silent, looking up at her with fearful eyes. With demands coming from the marquess that she make the child speak, Judith is forced to be bold despite her own fears. Will her courage and outspokenness force the marquess to reconsider his behavior? Or will he decide to end her employment and throw her back into the control of her brother?

David, the Marquess of Turton, is struggling with the expectations his betrothed is placing upon him. Becoming a little afraid that he might have been a little too hasty in his engagement, he is additionally frustrated at the addition of his daughter returning to his house – especially when she will not speak to him! Aggravated, he demands great things of his new governess, never expecting her to respond with harsh words of her own! Seeing the change in his daughter but disliking the governess’ ways, David fights against the urge to remove her from her position.

When a secret revealed threatens to pull him apart, it is up to Judith to find a way forward – and for David to decide just how much he too might need the governess.

Rose has read her way through countless romances over the years, “borrowing” them from her older sisters, and hiding them from her mother (Mom didn't like the sexy book covers!)

She has a special love for Regency romances and when she began writing, the Regency period was a natural place to start. The ton, the wealthy families, the Season, the dilemmas, and yes, the marriages, have always fascinated her. She loves a happy ever after! Now she is happy to bring this passion to her stories and share it with her readers.

On a personal note, Rose lives in North Carolina, is married, and has a terrier that barks too much. She enjoys taking him for walks to tire him out!

5.0 out of 5 stars What would happen in the regency period if your noble family sent you out as a single women to work?
Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2022

This is the first book of Rose Pearson that I have read. I like historical novels and the Jane Austen period, but haven't read many romances, but I think I might be hooked. This book has great character building and even has some suspense. It shows how people can be misunderstood and what can happen when the truth comes out. There are some interesting shifts in the plot and I ended up reading about the last 2/3s of the book in one sitting, wanting to know how it ended. I recommend this book, fun and easy to read, very enjoyable.

A great addition to the series. It is a stand alone read. The author has dealt with the class society of the times. What is allowed or not allowed by people of the higher class. Loved the story and series.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Great characters with a strong storyline that holds a mystery and of course villains, hero and a heroine.

This author does a wonderful job of drawing the reader into her world. Invites the reader to cheer and jeer the various characters and their situations.

A good series and a sweet story.

In seeking a wife, a Marquess engages a beautiful woman only to discover her character is lacking. A lady in society finds herself sent from her home to be a governess. Two women are manipulated by a father and a brother. Fortunately both find a way to marry for love. A little girl is mute for an unknown reason. Her mother was treated poorly for a suspicious background. All four books in this series are fascinating !!! Escaping into the Regency period is a very pleasant distraction from the terrible time in which we live.

This has to be Pearson's best ever story! Riveted nonstop reading, such clever dialog banter with deep sadness that leads to healing with joy and attraction deniability at its best add in a dubious betrothal twists and a sizzling twist at the end - starring Judith and the Marquess of Turton. I hadn't read a story this fabulous in quite a while. Extremely enjoyable read!

More than a Governess was an enjoyable read. Having said that; however, the author really needs to have a better understanding of the Regency period, customs, mores, and the ton. Several times I was pulled from the story by actions that would not have occurred. Recommendation to the author is to read Georgette Heyer’s Regencies and get a better feel for the period. This was, however, a definite improvement on the first book in the series, so this one won’t get deleted.

Judith hopes she will be able to gain her trust so that she will speak again David is bethrothed to Lady Madeline but realises he has made a mistake. As Judith gains Laura's trust she begins to speak to her and eventually to David. When David breaks off his betrothal, he realises he has strong feelings for Judith. Will he be able to risk marrying his Governess? Will Lady Madeline find happiness eventually? Will Judith be able to escape the role her brother has forced on her? Read on and enjoy.

Not a bad story could have had a better ending, but quite a pleasant story, a bit more excitement at the end would have been good instead of what it had.
