Thank you for sharing your books on KZbin. I’m 75 and I don’t get out much and they get me through the day and nights. Really enjoyable.👏👏💖💖

Agreed. 100%. Thank you.

[@deb9711]

I couldnt stop till the end. I enjoyed it as much if not more than the first book. Now i need to find the second. Stevie is such a wonderful narrator I can see the characters in my mind.

[@barbarawilliams8523]

I always think I’m going to sew or wash dishes or do some something that needs to be done, but then I get so interested I sit down and forget to get up. Before long a couple of hours have passed, and I suddenly remember what I should be doing. I love your books and thoroughly enjoy listening to them. Thank you so much for posting them.

[@JennieGoutet]

That's so sweet to hear, Barbara. Thank you.

[@sballantine8127]

Really enjoyed this. And the addition of the chapter links is beyond invaluable, thank you.

[@user-bd1du3cy9c]

Great story. Love the narrator. She is very good. Voices are most suitable.

[@carakellmeyer5037]

I just LOVE this story! I wasnt sure I could eclipse the enjoyment i had for Pippa's story, and yet here I am. I cant decide if its watching Duck and Miss Chauncey from afar ( which I find really fun) or when Pippa shows up in this story, or all the side characters. I really enjoy George's friends, too. Its been so long since I enjoyed such a book series!!!❤️

[@JennieGoutet]

Aw!! So happy to hear that! :-)

[@lyndaa7560]

Lord Hicks' proposal had me rolling. 😂 well done!!! (Around 4hrs 10 min)

[@wendy5290]

Following the Clavering family is a very enjoyable journey. When I read a book that has many subplots and characters jammed into the one novel I often give up trying to follow the storyline at all. Well done Jennie, I love your concept for this series and they are beautifully written ❤ I only wish the family had more siblings! 😂

[@JennieGoutet]

Thank you! I am working on a new series for the fall that will have more siblings because they are so much fun to write. ;-)

[@kristahiles5698]

This is the 4th of your books that I have listened to within the past few weeks and it is my favorite so far. Thank you for having them available here, I can't wait to listen to the other ones you have written.

[@dawnd.5290]

These stories are so well written. You almost don't want them to end 💞

[@minaj6628]

What a wonderful series! I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to them! I appreciate that they are beautifully romantic without being graphic at all. Thank you for your generosity in providing these to us. 😊💗🌸

[@serengeti4023]

At the end, I would have like to have heard more about Duck's marriage and the bride's mother's reaction..

[@laineciccotti9748]

Last (8) Chapters perfection…Ur Epilogue brilliant & Narrator took us on a delightful full envisioning…Ali’s saving thoughts once again & her George reminds her of SCANDAL they avoided! Her love so enchanting worry seen as” her husband, Geo, “has me his pocket” to others! Beauty & discussion in their alcove! Perfection & the best “Wager”. Ms Goulet, hope you’ll continue w/ their lives creating & designing their Estate (from start to finished success), Continue their friendships, especially Duc & Gwen, their closest friends as only Geo & Ali can be forever..love ur variations….

[@i.am.10vely]

Thank you very much for uploading these books!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ truly loved them!! But this last one might be my favorite 😍 I really liked George once we were allowed to see inside his head, even though I hadn't liked him in the previous books. He might be my favorite hero of the series. Lady Alice was also very well written in my opinion. She was likeable but still you could tell she was a duke's daughter and how that affected her thoughts and actions, even though she was a kind person. It was really lovely to see her fall in love even though she didn't want to marry. Her struggles with the different things allowed for men but not for women felt very relatable since today that are things society doesn't accept in a woman but are praised or accepted in a man. My favorite part was the last quarter of the book. It was really fun and exciting and the ending was very satisfying. Thank you for writing this and giving me happiness for these 8 hrs

[@JennieGoutet]

Aw this is so sweet to read. I'm glad you liked George and Alice. I think he always had a heart of gold (the way he rebuked his brother in book 1) but he was too young and needed to grow a little.

[@plee972]

Love the story. Thank you!❤

[@guignegenie8253]

Thank you so very much for another wonderful read. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Bless you.

[@susancarroll1855]

What a delightful and compelling book! I loved the characters and their dilemmas. Thank you for a wonderful flight of fancy! And thanks to the narrator for the distinct voices of the characters. Well done with the male voices as well.

[@mysikind8076]

Gosh, I enjoyed the first two books. Kept me interested. I did not except this one to be my favourite. I almost started to chew my nails. This was surprisingly my favourite one so far. Thank you for sharing a very enjoyable story. ❤️ p.s I'm hoping some of these characters like the very annoying and I think unhappy Miriah finds someone who can help her find happiness. She's so annoying but I really feel sorry for her. Or definitely Alice's brother, interesting personality developing. Great characters 🤗

[@marilynvpryor4573]

Really love this series and the narrator. Thank you.

[@shelleyd9910]

This has been a very interesting series.Alice jumps to conclusions without the facts. Yet she does not always follow societies rules. It is a great extra to have George and Bart building a friendship. I love hearing about Lucius and his little Hugh. When we met him in the first book he was trying to avoid all that. George and Alice have a lovely banter. Thank you for sharing this.

[@janemitchell8003]

Sweet clean romance! Wonderful narration!Thank you!

[@jacquelinetaylor9447]

You are so talented!! I enjoy each story and can’t wait to read/listen to on You Tube! Your stories are so delightful & thank you!!! 😊

[@mycah1993]

I love these books! I only hope there's more elaboration about what happens after the couple got married 🥹 If only, it will be perfect!

Well written and beautifully narrated.

[@Bambisgf77]

Just finished the first 2 and now happy to find out what happens next! Also kinda sad bc this is the last book in the Clavering series. Really enjoyed these, thank you for sharing them with us on YT. 🎉💛

[@jaysasso4392]

What one is number 2 ? I loved the first one! ❤ And found the third only. What is the number two title ?

[@minaj6628]

Thank you so much! I’ve listened to the first three and now am off to see if there is a fourth. :)

[@JennieGoutet]

Thank you so much for your support! :-) There's not (at present) a fourth in this series. I haven't completely abandoned the idea but my publishing schedule is full right now. I hope you will enjoy the other series here. I just launched the second in the Daughters of the Gentry series, and as soon as my narrator can get to it, I'll be putting the audio up here. It's called A Stroke of Good Fortune.

[@minaj6628]

@@JennieGoutet I have listened to a few others, as well, and must say, Stevie Zimmerman is the most wonderful narrator! She has a beautiful voice and is perfect for your lovely books! 💗

The sport of matchmaking. Very interesting story about independence.

[@laineciccotti9748]

Lady Alice is thus far THE One character I’ve enjoyed, Off the bat George is her perfect love, they fit…& Miss Chaucy’s predicament & Alice’s brothers as well are their perfect foil! Adoring this @ Chapter 18! No way shall I put down & sorry for my story’s end…hope you’ll bring them back as continuing relationship again & again…..👣

[@MarloweDash]

I enjoyed this book! Most romances are awful. I am a devoted Georgette Heyer fan and very few romances are tolerable after hers. Thx!

[@susandesparte4348]

[@kaybutcher5719]

Agree with your opinion of Georgette Heyer. -Enjoying these books also.

[@Dulsanaya]

I laughed at many points during this story and enjoyed it thoroughly!

[@carakellmeyer5037]

@Jennie Goutet Could you please tell me what is the long form of Claeda's name? Did I spell that correctly? Is that a special name for you? It is not a name I have heard before.

[@JennieGoutet]

It's Cleda, short for Cleophas. Even though Cleophas is traditionally a boy's name, I discovered nicknames in the 18th and 19th century that used Cleda as a nickname for Cleophas for girls.

[@isatthere]

The intrigues are interesting. Society was so rigidly divided. Bookmark 6.00

[@hopefull3387]

This one was really good. I couldn’t put it down. Alice came off a bit arrogant towards the ending. George was too agreeable.

[@omaeve]

She’s going to send her to Cambria, which I think they’re saying didn’t exist until 1974. What does that mean?

[@JennieGoutet]

It's definitely not Cambria. I can't think what you're referring to in this book, but it must be the English accent that makes it hard to distinguish?

[@janetmiles9306]

Alice is to be sent to Cumbria which was prior to the reorganisation in 1974 Westmorland and Cumberland, not exactly as bits of Yorkshire and Lancashire were taken to make the new county. Things have recently changed again as it is now two unitary authorities! Well spotted, the writer should have referred to the area by its old name and chosen one of them. Love the book.

[@laineciccotti9748]

Thank you for the history of the Counties as well as JG’s response, I too adore the storyline & begJG to bring the characters back to life. Their love, mindset warrant merit I feel about the Darcy’s P&P Variations, so terrific to con’t imagining their great lives together & this is perfect read to accomplish.

I so dislike Lord Harridan. Jennie has built an effective villain.

[@JaneDoe-ci3gj]

I like you books. I love the funny desciptions of the marriage mart, which beaus they don't want that their parents want for them etc! I also find there's a lot of things in your books that are historical incorrect and also more American than British! Spoiler: In this book: No one would bat an eye if a young nobleman had a liason with an actress. Since he was man it would not cause the least bit of scandal. He would not marry her since it was simply not done! Also isn't the idea of a femme fatal the woman of low moral a bit outdated and incorrect!

[@donna2russell562]

L00😊

[@MarloweDash]

I am very glad that your christian beliefs dont permeate your books! Just learning about you… and i dont need ‘clean’ content either (sex is not ‘dirty’) but so many ‘romance’ novels seem to leave plot and character and humor out. I bet you are a Georgette Heyer fan???

[@JennieGoutet]

A massive Georgette Heyer fan. :-) I wouldn't be writing Regency if it were not for her. And to answer one of your other comments asking for stronger side characters, I will only say that no one has her genius. I keep striving for better stories, greater characters, but (wistfully) Heyer has no parallel.

[@MarloweDash]

@@JennieGoutet your stories are great. Just discovering them! Thank you!! Allons enfants de la patrie Le joir de gloire est arrivee! Contre nous … vive la France!🍇

[@MarloweDash]

@@JennieGoutet there was a guy with bad teeth proposing marriage… that was fun!!

[@Sky-pt6lc]

It’s not a Christian story, it just basically clean. I skip the kissing part. Not interested in the mashing of the lips.

[@ceciliadonnelly1609]

What a great listen, silly me, I’ve listened to them out of context but never mind I am very happy to go and now listen to Philippa’s story. I agree with one other comment….I wished for more siblings as well….what about Alice’s brother though🫣….I mean he does have to attain maturity but I’m sure in your mind anything in possible….well never mind I will continue and now go through the rest of your titles, they are so very well written…you have an amazing mind, thank you 😊

[@JennieGoutet]

Thank you so much. I get interested in writing siblings (like Alice's brother, for instance) but I have more series and more siblings that await. That"'s what stops me. I can't write more than 3 books a year, alas.
