About this listen
Hampton Hall's new owner has the villagers of St. Hampton Heath all aflutter - all except Lavinia Ellison. The reverend's daughter cares for those who are poor and sick, and the seventh Earl of Hawkesbury definitely does not meet that criteria. His refusal to take his responsibilities seriously, or even darken the door of the church, leave her convinced he is as arrogant and reckless as his brother - his brother who stole the most important person in Lavinia's world.
Nicholas Stamford is shadowed by guilt: his own, his brother's, the legacy of war. A perfunctory visit to this dreary part of Gloucestershire wasn't supposed to engage his heart, or his mind. Challenged by Miss Ellison's fascinating blend of Bluestocking opinions, hoydenish behavior, and angelic voice, he finds the impossible becoming possible - he begins to care. But Lavinia's aloof manner, society's opposition and his ancestral obligations prove most frustrating, until scandal forces them to get along.
Can Lavinia and Nicholas look beyond painful pasts and present prejudice to see their future? And what will happen when Lavinia learns a family secret that alters everything she's ever known?

Evan Eldridge never meant to be a war hero - he just wanted to fight Napoleon for the future of his country. And he certainly didn't think that saving the life of a peer would mean being made the Earl of Whitelock. But when the life you save is dear to the Prince Regent, things can change in a hurry. Now Evan has a new title, a manor house in shambles, and a stranger for a bride, all thrust upon him by a grateful ruler. What he doesn't have are all his memories. Traumatized as a result of his wounds and bravery on the battlefield, Evan knows there's something he can't quite remember.

So good finished in 2 days!
This story had funny witty banter, parts that grippe your heart, and cute dogs!Not a typical regency romance and the change in the Earl is believable vs. some chrsiti
Christian fiction where they change over night . I like the character development of both the main characters throughout the story. much substance and the plot was well done in its pace.

Transporting in both writing and narration!! Just magnificent
The narration was so good it felt like several different people were doing the voices for the different characters. Great job miss Anna Parker Naples. Though I would advice to listen at 1.05 speed. It seemed oddly slow at the normal level but delightful at 1.05.
The characters were so intricately fleshed out! The choice of words so smart and full of witty loveliness. We love us some witty characters.
The story telling was so entrancing. The period appropriate English-top 2 compared with all the many present day authored Regency period books I have read, added so much wonderful flavor to an already rich story. Not sure how I am going to read other authors' books now that I have read this kind of Regency writing truth be told. The bar has officially been set quite high.
Augh I did not want to say goodbye to Nicolas and Lavinia. I really really enjoyed their journey. Can't wait to run into them in book 2 of this series!!!

Okay way to pass a limitless time
I very much liked the faith and redemption storyline and appreciate the book is
wholesome with a moral uprjght heroine. However the romance was not as good. The pace was slow and the book was longer than it needed to be. The actions of the characters were inconsistent.

“So pure, so lovely”…so annoying
I liked the premise of this story and it really did have some clever twists. I also appreciate not being dragged through any intimate scenes. However, the novel’s plot follows the oh so annoying “I love him, I love him not” trope. Just make up your mind already! A strong minded woman should also be strong minded in the arena of love, leaving room for a plot that is driven by something more interesting than insipid worries that could be taken care of if she was truly forthright in her conversation.
I may try another of this author’s books just to see if this was simply a one-off. Perhaps, too, the book would have been more enjoyable with a better reader.
