My Fair Gentleman

Nice surprise!

This was my first time listening to a Proper Romance book, but it won't be the last! I like that there are clean romance books out there. The author did a good job in making a quick, enjoyable story that doesn't drag, and with the right amount of twists and turns to keep the plot interesting.

My only complaint would be that while the narrator has a great voice, she spoke a tad too quickly for my taste. It made the story seem a bit rushed. Overall, though, it was a great listen!

Nice gender reversal of "My Fair Lady", but...

It was an interesting concept, but I did not like the execution. The characters were not interesting enough and this story completely relies on the characters, so the end result didn't work for me. There are interesting positive projects mentioned, but only as tokens to show that the characters are charitable - we are never shown those projects in progress, and I would have been much more interested in them than in the stupid attempted murders.

Other that that, the book is inoffensive - just mindless fluff without much substance to it.

A sweet story

I did enjoy reading this story however found it a little hard to get through. The hero took a while to like, he was very gruff to start with but soon softened and became rather likeable. The story was rather predictable and towards the middle I did become a little bored but I persevered and did finish it and was glad I did.

Very nice

I very much appreciated this clean romance. Particularly in that many of the characters were straightforward with each other--none of this tedious business of misunderstandings and keeping secrets. The only minor quibble were a few modernisms in thought or phrase, but they were insignificant enough to ignore.

Sweet story

This was a sweet story resembling “My Fair Lady” only the roles are reversed with a few changes. I liked the story. There were some historical errors. Don’t think a lady would write a “manners/ etiquette” column in Regency or Victorian setting (unclear which it was). They had books for that sort of thing. I know because I have some from the 1920s. If you get past those, the story is enjoyable. I would read others by this author.

Clean & Classic

Truly enjoyed this novel! Characters were well developed and the narrator had a soothing easy quality to her voice. I chose not to give 5 stars because I'd wished for a bit more romance (though the amount may have been appropriate for the time period).

delightfull

much better than I expected. lately there has been too much brooding on pasts & not enough looking at the present & future for the main characters in my experience but this author has found the right balance

Enjoyable

Enjoyable story with very likeable characters.
The writing and narrator was both splendid.
Definitely recommended if you like to read about a rugged male character being polished to become a gentleman
