She never intended to overhear his. But now that she has, what is Lord Bradley to do with her? He cannot let her go, for were the truth to get out, he would lose everything--his reputation, his inheritance, his very home. He gives Miss Keene little choice but to accept a post at Brightwell Court, where he can make certain she does not spread what she heard. Keeping an eye on the young woman as she cares for the children, he finds himself drawn to her, even as he struggles against the growing attraction. The clever Miss Keene is definitely hiding something. Moving, mysterious, and romantic, The Silent Governess takes readers inside the intriguing life of a nineteenth-century governess in an English manor house where all is not as it appears. Review: Truly beautiful! - I love this book! It’s a historical Christian romance, beautifully written, immersive and captivating. It feels like you’re entering into Olivia’s life, experiencing her many struggles and witnessing the day to day life of a governess. The story itself has a lot going on, with intrigue, danger, and even a bit of mystery. The characters have depth and the relationships are well developed. There is also a solid Christian message covering redemption, grace, and God’s love. I highly recommend the book to anyone who enjoys historical romances. Content: So now for the warning… there are many sexual assaults in this book. There are instances of infidelity, rape, and men of rank sexually abusing servants. Those incidents that occur outside of the FMC have limited detail provided. Incidents involving the FMC are more descriptive, but she is rescued from them. There is no foul language and limited violence. The romance does not go beyond lightly descriptive kissing. This is a Christian book with emphasis on prayer, faith, and God. Review: Enticing and Exciting - What I Loved This story literally dropped me in the middle of a chase scene that I couldn't get enough of. From the expertly-done prologue (the perfect example of a prologue that enhances the story) to the mysterious plot that kept me turning pages, The Silent Governess does not disappoint. Julie Klassen's writing style fascinates me. She has honed a delectable blend of Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte to bring this English era to life in a way that will captivate lovers of historicals and reel in those who love adventure. The dazzling descriptions and the subtle way Olivia and Edward fall in love is totally swoon-worthy and made me wish the story (already a good 400 pages long) could continue. The ending is so unexpected. The breathtaking mystery that had me anxious about how it would all turn out was wrapped up so beautifully that I literally sat back and thought, "I did NOT see that coming!" It's so nice when an author defies the cliche and brings about a resolution that I couldn't foresee. What I Didn't Like As Much I honestly can't think of a single thing to write about that I didn't like in The Silent Governess. It is the first I read by Julie Klassen and by far my favorite of her works. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #279,210 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,138 in Christian Historical Romance #1,495 in Christian Historical Fiction (Books) #2,028 in Christian Mystery & Suspense Romance (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,592 Reviews | ## Images ![The Silent Governess: A Historical Regency Romance Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71imhRZ+VRL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Truly beautiful! *by J***H on April 13, 2025* I love this book!

From the expertly-done prologue (the perfect example of a prologue that enhances the story) to the mysterious plot that kept me turning pages, The Silent Governess does not disappoint.

It is the first I read by Julie Klassen and by far my favorite of her works. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Silent Governess *by F***L on February 20, 2010* This is such a beautiful story full of love, mystery, and beautiful clothing!! :) I love reading historical fiction and this second read by Julie Klassen was the perfect weekend getaway! Oliva isn't sure what she might have done to the man but she does know that she needs to get away quickly. She finds herself in even more trouble once she is on her way to a school for work. Will the drama ever end? There are so many things I absolutely loved about The Silent Governess. The title is more than fitting and it had me intrigued from the beginning! I loved learning more about Parliament, Dukes, Earls, and most importantly, Governesses. I think had I lived back then that I would have loved to be a Governess. While it's a quiet, somewhat lonely lifestyle, I would have been a perfect match since I'm so painfully shy! I don't think I can pick a favorite character from this book because there are just so many good ones. Some who were my favorite in the beginning ended up being ones that I didn't care as much for by the end and vice versa. There are so many wonderful and exciting twists and turns that I was on the edge of my seat the entire time I was reading. This was a quick, three settings read and I can truthfully say that I hated to see it end. Julie Klassen has now written three wonderful books, The Apothecary's Daughter, The Lady of Milkweed Manor, and now, The Silent Governess. I have read all but The Lady of Milkweed Manor and that will be read very soon! I purchased this book and will keep it on my shelves it's just that great! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/4361984-the-silent-governess-a-historical-regency-romance-novel](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/4361984-the-silent-governess-a-historical-regency-romance-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-10-12*
