A uncertain future for a lady…an arrogant Earl…will they find a way to a happy ever after?

Sent to be her aunt’s companion by an impoverished father, Miss Honora Gregory struggles against disappointment and loneliness. Now in London, Honora’s aunt seeks only her own entertainment and Honora is forced into the background. Blunt and forthright, she does not hide her true opinion despite her lowly status. When her aunt gives her one evening, one opportunity of finding a gentleman to court her, Honora knows exactly which gentleman in particular she will make certain to avoid – the arrogant and selfish Lord Crampton.

Robert, the Earl of Crampton is irritated with the lady. Even though she is only a companion, Robert finds himself caught up with her, angry at her manner towards him. When someone begins to bring trouble to Robert’s door, he is astonished to find that Honora is the one by his side. Will she be willing to help him, if he should ask? And can he eschew his pride and see her as more than just a companion?

This is the first book in the Ladies on their Own series, with the stories of governesses and companions and their happy ever afters. Get your copy today!

Bookbub Reviewers:

This story holds true to the author's style of a quick read that builds on strong characters and a plot that has several twists and turns and keeps the reader engaged. It was fun to see the main characters start out so rocky and come full circle despite the challenges surrounding them. The challenges are both internally caused as well as externally. The plot twists were good and kept me guessing.

I enjoyed every minute of this wonderful Regency romance and perfect start to the Ladies on Their Own series by gifted author Rose Pearson. I really liked Honora Gregory who has to become her aunt's companion since there was no money for her to have a season and enjoyed her dynamic with the other characters especially arrogant and selfish Earl of Crampton. Don't miss this book if you enjoy well crafted clean historical romance.

I really enjoyed this start to a new series. It was engaging and I loved the mystery element. I'm excited for more!

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!

Rose Pearson is well known for writing Regency romance and especially series. More Than a Companion is an excellent first volume of Ladies on Their Own, a series that fits well with Ms Pearson's previous series. The story drags a bit with both hero and heroine dithering about their potential. Clean and wholesome , traditional, and easy read are adjectives I use to describe More Than a Companion. I recommend this book to readers who enjoy relaxing with a light romance.

I really didn't care too much for this story, but that is based on my not liking the Earl or the main female leads aunt. Both were self centered and selfish. Although the Earl's motivation s were explained and he tried to redeem himself, I never warmed up to him. Still a decent story, but not one I will reread.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fluff love story
Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2022

The story is clean, the premise is fluff. Robert is a new, insecure Earl. Honora is the daughter of a Viscount in financial difficulty.
Rose Pearson has an easy, comfortable writing style that was fun to read. However, the story plodded on while I waited for the end. I hope her next books have a better flow.

5.0 out of 5 stars More than a companion 💖♦️

More than a companion is Book1 in this new series.

Lady Langford has decided to hunt at the season for a new husband.
Honoria accompanied her as her companion.
They encounter the very arrogant Lord Crompton, who has just inherited his title.
At first it does not seem that these two will have enough in common, or be socially acceptable to society.

However despite a few problems, twists and turns. Eventually these two discover they are made for each other.

I have so enjoyed reading the book, it is very good.
I am looking forward to reading book 2 and the rest of this series.

A self centered Earl and a young lady with no choice except to be her selfish aunt's chaperone, keep having unpleasant confrontations. On his part, not hers. He developes a conscience and is constantly apologizing for his behavior. She accepts his apologies believing he is sincere. There is a growing feeling of affection between them. It gives her hope he might save her from a lonely life. She will save him from someone with a dangerous grudge. Very clean regency romance, not even a kiss.

Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2022

I enjoy a good regency and this is a good regency. Honora is a companion to her aunt. She is given one night to find a gentleman. She knows who she wants to stay away from. When things happen could he trust her. This is a wonderful regency, and Rose Pearson never disappoints. This is a very entertaining and intriguing story. Great book.

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

3.0 out of 5 stars Too unlikeable
Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2022
Verified Purchase
No spoilers. I understand that this is supposed to be a book about a gentleman with character flaws who grows and learns from his mistakes, but it is poorly done. He's just too unlikeabke. When you're at 90% completion and he's still being rude, it's not really a growth arc.

It was hard to overlook the fact that the MC is a complete dunce, but then the story also has some OTT bullying that is hard to believe. People irl don't actually talk to each other that way.

So overall it was hard for me to get into this one. I did finish it but the character building just isn't there, so I won't be seeking out any more from this author.

Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2022

Having just been advised that her long anticipated first season is again unaffordable, her father offers her news that he anticipates will please his precious daughter. Her aunt, a Vscount's widow, has offered to take her to London as her companion! Shocked and hurt by her aunt's lowering offer, she acts grateful, wanting to protect her father from her disappointment.
A unique plot that will keep the reader entertained while, happily, keeping the "aunt" frustrated! Enjoy.

I enjoyed this story. Against all odds, Honora and Robert manage to find a path to happiness but there are problems along the way when someone is determined to damage Robert. The story is well-written.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice plot, stilted writing
Reviewed in Italy on December 11, 2022

The plot was nice and provided a good frame for a story of someone who behaved badly out of insecurities. As the book is fairly short, the wasn’t much time to develop it with more depth.

The dialogues, however, were awful: stiff, unnatural and lengthy. They go around and around the same topic and are not really adding to the characters.
The heroine is quite believable. The hero, with the help of the forthcoming heroine, is faced with his bad behavior and starts a journey of introspection. There are very unbelievable jumps in terms of sudden friendships formed and confidences shared as well are a speedy progression in terms of self awareness.

It felt a bit stir fried.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quite Good !
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 27, 2022

I really enjoyed this story though I wished he ...Robert...did not feel a need to keep apologising all the time. His friend Lord Venables, though well meaning was not particularly tactful to him coming straight after being attacked. The lady in this, Honoria had a great deal to say to him about his failings. One wonders how she would fare if hers were pointed out to her in that way. As all that they said to him were in most parts true but they were less than understanding particularly as Honoria did not say much to her aunt at first and seemed to save all her frustration for him. In the end things worked out well and he realised what would make him happy . So, a good story if a little exasperating !

I enjoyed the concept of this story!
The story itself was good, but I felt that it was extremely wordy! It felt like I dreading a Shakespearean drama!!
It seemed to take forever to get anywhere, and when we finally did - it ended!
On the whole a quick, clean, easy read.
