Miss Emma Arlen’s position as a companion never included distracting her mistress’s suitors, but when a handsome Italian ambassador arrives determined to find an English bride, Emma happily takes up the cause.

Emma Arlen has spent a decade as a member of the duke’s family, in the position of companion to his daughter and ward to the duke himself. She would do anything to show her support to the ducal family for their love and kindness. When Lady Josephine begs Emma to distract a most determined Sicilian suitor, she agrees at once. How hard can it be to keep one man entertained for a few weeks?

Luca, the Conte di Atella, left his home in the newly formed Kingdom of the Two Sicilies under the direct orders of King Ferdinand I. Luca’s duty as ambassador to England includes everything from negotiating better trade agreements to strengthening the bonds between the two nations. If possible, by marrying a lady of high birth. When he optimistically sets his sights on Lady Josephine, Miss Arlen consistently disrupts his plans. The more time that passes, the more he realizes he does not mind at all.

Continually in the conte’s company, Emma recognizes in him a spirit of adventure and nobility like she has never witnessed before. When the time comes for him to go, will she be able to part with him and keep her heart intact?

As the second stand-alone novel in a new series by author Sally Britton, this story continues the Clairvoir Castle romances. This is a light-hearted, romantic series set in the Regency period.

Fabulous Regency romance with Italian flair!
5 Stars
Fabulous Regency romance with Italian flair!
Loved listening to the audiobook version of A Companion for the Count! Sally Britton creates a memorable story that really draws you in with endearing characters that you want to see succeed. She’s honestly one of my favorite authors, especially because of the careful detail she puts into each of her books.The story takes place in Regency England right after the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies was established. This was such an interesting aspect of history that was new to me and I enjoyed learning more about it through this story. Luca is the fictional ambassador from this newly established Kingdom whose goals are to further diplomatic relations with England and secure a prominent English bride. When he stays with the Duke of Montfort, he tries to woo the duke’s daughter Lady Josephine. Josephine however is not interested in marriage and asks her companion Emma to distract the Count. Emma is not only Josephine’s companion and friend, but the duke’s ward. As Luca spends more time with the intelligent, fun, circumspect Emma, his friendship and admiration of her grows into something more, but can he afford to fall in love with the companion?Emma and Luca were such great characters! I loved watching as their relationship grew from friendship to love. I loved when Luca and Emma made pasta together and met in the duchess’garden. The side characters are interesting as well and nicely forward the story along. There’s plenty of intrigue, misunderstandings, and pure romance that kept me wanting to listen to just one more chapter.The narrator did a fantastic job of giving a distinct voice to each character including a delightful Italian accent. It was easy to listen to her narration and it definitely kept my attention.This book can be read as a stand alone. However, readers of the first book in the series will enjoy seeing those characters from the previous book again. Highly recommend this book and look forward to the next book in the series! I received a complimentary copy from the author for my honest review. All opinions are my own and I was not required to give a positive review.

5.0 out of 5 stars A quiet but fascinating Regency romance that shines on its dialogue and character development

Miss Emma Arlen, the long time companion to the daughter of an influential and powerful duke, has the enviable task of fending off eager suitors to Josephine's hand. Luca, the Conte Di Atella is a guest at the duke's grand estate and the appointed ambassador to England from the newly developing two kingdoms of Sicily. Luca, handsome and dignified, thinks he must marry a woman of English nobility to increase his stature and influence so he sets his sights on Josephine. Emma, who herself is the orphaned daughter of nobility, has been lovingly raised by the duke as one of his own children, thus she is trained up in all the manners of a noble woman. What carries the story is the development of the personalities of the principles in this quiet romance. The author's dialogue is simply exquisite between Emma and Luca. Poor Luca, he is talented and highly intelligent but woefully naive' when it comes to courting a woman but Emma comes to his rescue time and again! It seems the young Luca was hidden away in a monastery for much of his maturing. Emma, on the other hand, is bright, engaging, open and slowly her head is turning towards Luca as more than a friend. Ah, but is there something sinister going on within Luca's staff? I found this a quiet but fascinating story with the subtle sexual attraction between these two simmering just below the surface, waiting to burst forth. Fear not, however, the author handles the attraction cleanly, with class and style. I found it wonderfully entertaining, always with that romantic intensity.

I loved reading this sweet story! I enjoyed Emma’s character in the first book in this series, so I was very excited that this was her story.

I thought it was unique that the hero of the story, Luca, was an Italian ambassador from the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. I don’t remember learning about that part of history before, which made this book stand out to me! And I loved that Luca and Emma began bonding over their mutual love of literature.

I had seen many reviewers mention the pasta scene before I read this book, so I have to do the same because that scene was so good! 😍 Loved it!

I’m really looking forward to reading the next book in the series, especially after seeing the main characters for the new book spar with their words in this book. 😂

4.5/5 stars!

Emma Arlen, companion to Lady Josephine, has been previously introduced in Book 1, Mr. Gardiner and the Governess.

Lord Atella, Ambassador from Sicily, has come to Clairvoir Court as a house guest for three months. Lady Josephine is assured that her father has brought him there as a potential suitor. She is not ready to be courted by anyone since she is only 19, so Emma begins to keep Lord Atella at bay, to distract him from Lady Josephine.

This lovely friends to lovers story is another beautiful example of Sally Britton’s ability to place us in the middle of the regency, where we find angst over the societal rules of the day and the untamed intentions of the heart.

Audiobook on Sally Britton’s YouTube channel is magnificently read by Jessica Elisa Boyd.

This book is suitable for teens and older with no inappropriate intimate scenes and no bad language.

3.0 out of 5 stars A sweet historical romance but...

A Companion for the Count was a sweet historical romance. Unfortunately, I was not a fan of the whole "sigh - let me be a distraction, okay - now, I will help you win the damsel over, wait - I have developed feelings for you and can no longer help with said romantic pursuit." I just wasn't moved by the romance at all. What I did enjoy was the supporting characters, their dialogue and interactions. I definitely want to continue in the series, I just didn't love this story in particular.

4.0 out of 5 stars A quiet romantic story

This is the second book in the Clairvoir Castle romance series, but can be read as a standalone. I hadn't read the first one, Mr. Gardiner and the Governess, but I wasn't lost or confused at all. Although, I probably would have enjoyed the cameos of characters from that book more had I read it.

Emma is asked by Josephine to keep Luca, the Conte di Atella, entertained because she knows he's looking to marry a lady of high birth, and she considers herself too young to be married just yet. Of course Emma agrees to help her out but is surprised when she finds herself starting to have feelings for the charming Sicilian.

I liked how intelligent Emma is. She didn't shy away from conversations most would have considered not suitable for women. She was well read and knew how to state her thoughts in a respectful manner. She was in an unusual position as a ward of the duke and companion to his daughter, but with her own income. I liked Luca too. He was willing to do what he needed to do for his family, and his country but he also knew how to enjoy simple things such as food and the company of others. He and Emma making pasta was one of my favorite parts of the book. I loved the unexpected little plot twist and the ending.

I listened to the audiobook version and the narrator Jessica Eliza Boyd is fantastic. Her accents and emotions are wonderfully done and it was easy to distinguish which character was which while listening.
