Gentleman in Waiting

By: Leigh Michaels

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Everything depends on the baby…
Lady Mariah Gerrard anxiously awaits the birth of her stepmother’s child, desperately hoping for a boy who will inherit their father’s title so Mariah can gain access to her dowry and her freedom. Her father’s cousin John, the next heir in line, has other plans – so if the baby is a girl, disaster looms for Mariah.

When Myles Moreton comes to Edgeworth to manage the family estate, Mariah’s no longer certain that even the birth of a boy will solve her problems.

Why is money missing? Why is Mariah’s dowry in doubt? Despite his genial façade, is Cousin John planning mischief – or worse? Why is Myles Moreton, rather than the late earl’s trustees, suddenly in control? And how can Myles – a man who’s entirely ineligible – be not only completely maddening but utterly charming and very, very tempting?

As the family gathers to await the birth, Mariah and Myles search for answers – and they find that playing the waiting game can have its own rewards.

Cute story, not a fan of virtual voice

I thought I wouldn’t mind the virtual voice. It sounds like a human. But as it turns out, a human who shouldn’t be a narrator. I had no idea who was talking many times. Exclamations were completely lost. I enjoyed the story though.

Intricate Plot

Excellent story with well developed characters. Not predictable. Excellent ending. I would have preferred a real voice rather than virtual.
