On the eve of her 19th birthday, the vivacious Caroline Derwent-Jones looks forward to being free of her oafish guardian, Mr. Ffalkes. But Mr. Ffalkes has other plans for Caroline and her inheritance, so Caroline must escape.

In her flight, Caroline encounters Lord Chilton of Mount Hawke, Frederic North Nightingale, and finds herself tangled in mystery and romance. And amid murder, enigmatic secrets, and a long standing tradition of no women at Mount Hawke, Lord Chilton discovers his desire for Caroline.

In the Legacy series, I like the Nightingale story more than I actually did the first story. The hero and heroine as characters are robustly written as are some of the other supporting characters. The audio reader did a very good job but for the first time in an audible download there was some recording degregation. I heard background noise that was distracting but, the story and the reading were entertaining. So 5 stars for a regency romance and an audio performance, 1 star for the production team and sound editor.

In the Legacy Trilogy, my favorite

I love the story. The narrator completely ruined the listening experience for me. PLEASE RE-RECORD!

Great Story Horrible Narrator

This book is the proof that not everybody can be a narrator.
Really glad I've read the book in prints in 2011 because pity the pour listener who didn't.
You needed to know who was talking cause they all sounded the same, the male voices were even higher than the females.

Darn good story botched by narrator!

I really like the different story line that this series takes. There's not only a murder mystery but also a treasure hunt mystery, if you will. It was a fun read.

Enjoyed this one, too

First, the narrator is inconsistent in voicing the characters. There is little differentiation among the female characters. Her male characters are worse. Occasionally, she will provide some characteristics for a particular individual, then stop those, letting that character become indistinguishable from any other. Her male characters often sound more feminine than the females. One gets confused as to who is speaking, thus confusing the listener as to what is going on. Sadly, it’s unlikely it will be re-recorded with a more competent narrator, such as the woman who recorded the first book in the series.

However, an equally irritating thing about this production is the quality of the recording, itself. It sounds like it was recorded in a room with a party, or at least multiple conversations, are going on in another room. This very distracting. And it is easily correctable by running the master through audio software to strip out the unwanted background noise. I may have to return the book and use the Kindle version on my old Kindle with voice. The quality of the narration wouldn’t be any worse!

I love her stories. However, I could have lived without the treasure hunting. Yet, it is only a story, and performed it's purpose of entertaining me well.

The narrator's voice is easy to listen to. If you like her books, you will like this one.

Entertaining

This was a tough one to get through. The storyline meandered all over the place and it felt like the author was just dragging it out to fill a quota. Running out of plot? Throw in a love scene. Then another one. Oh wait we have an innocent virgin that ties her husband up for sex. Okaaayyyyy I finsihed it only Bc I wanted to see who the killer was.

Rough
