Summary
A Regency romance on the high seas. Two hearts yearning to find a safe harbor, and possibly, a lasting love.
As a young girl, Georgana Woodall dreamed of beautiful dresses, fancy balls, and falling in love. However, when her mother dies, she cannot face a future under the guardianship of her abusive grandmother and instead chooses to join her father on his ship disguised as his cabin boy, “George”.
Lieutenant Dominic Peyton has no time in his life for love, not with his dedication to His Majesty’s Royal Navy claiming his full attention. While trying to adjust to a new crew, he strives to be an exemplary officer and leader. When he sees the captain’s cabin boy being harassed by the crew, he immediately puts a stop to it and takes the “boy” under his wing. After discovering a number of clues, Dominic deduces that George is really a woman. Knowing that revealing the cabin boy’s secret would put her in serious danger from the rowdy crew, Dominic keeps silent and hides his growing affection for her.
Georgana is quickly losing her heart to Dominic’s compassion and care but is convinced nothing can come of her affection. She cannot continue to live her life on the sea, and having already missed too many seasons in London, her chances of being welcomed back into polite society and finding a suitable husband are quickly slipping away.
Georgana’s Secret is about two hearts yearning to find a safe harbor, and possibly, a lasting love.

Terrible narration, nice story
I liked the story, but what awful narration! Words are randomly stressed, meaning you can’t ever relax into the story. You end up with stilted sentences like: She had left her LANTern with the SURGeon and now couldn’t SEE in the DARK.
“It’s hard WORK”, the gunner SAID.

A romantic story
I enjoyed this but only by suspending my disbelief. The plot is a implausible. The narrator isn’t the best but doesn’t deserve some of the criticism levelled at her by some others. But her mispronunciation of the forecastle of a ship literally as “for castle” does shows a lack of general knowledge!

Great story once you can tune out the narration
Really enjoyed the story and character’s’ development. The narrator’s staccato style grated at first but once you get into the storyline and tune it out, it’s very worthwhile sticking with

Georgana’s secret
Most unfortunate reading style. I was unable to continue past the second chapter because of the very odd and uncomfortable reading style. The narrator doesn’t appear to be able to read prose more than four or five words at a time without pausing - as if each sentence is peppered with commas. Then ends each word spurt with an annoying lift as if suddenly remembering she had left the stove switched on. Such a shame as the story is novel and well written . I would very much have enjoyed the book otherwise. I was unable to award no stars for performance which was my preference..

A really good read
Plot , vast array of characters, drama, comedy, villainy and romance.
Despite some of the voices, I wasn’t put off by the narrators voice. Very pleasant listen indeed

Spoilt by narration
This was a really good story but the narration was awful. She did the characters ok, but the narration was like listening to Alexa . No emotion , just a monologue that gets on your nerves. Even when cannons blazed, wounds and blood, there was no emotion in the words at all. If you can over look this, it was a great book. If I were the author, I’d get another to do it. I think it would come alive in the right narrators heart.

Great story!
I loved this book! Mostly because it wasn't very predictable. I could guess how some of it would go, but mostly it surprised me w its plot twists.
The characters were well written. I especially liked that she didn't have these amazing skills or confidence.
The setting was very accurate( I updated my ship terminology a bit), the world building was beautiful, especially the island scene.
I would have said a bit more about both mothers, and given his more of a life at home, that she had friends and things to do besides constantly waiting for him.... But that's the only change I'd make.
The narrator was a bit irritating since she phrased everything like a statement, and kept the same rhythm. The voices and accents weren't bad though, and I certainly can't do better myself so won't complain too much.
Overall a fantastic book! I definitely recommend.(You get used to the narration)
Thank you Audible, Arlem Hawks and Heather Wilds for this wonderful transporting novel.
