Summary

RITA Award finalist and Christy Award winner Julie Klassen delivers historical romances brimming with the eloquence and intensity of Jane Austen. In an abandoned gatehouse on an old estate, Mariah Aubrey lives in seclusion. She supports herself by writing novels in secret—at a time when such writing is considered improper and unladylike. Soon the wealthy and ambitious Captain Bryant leases the estate and is intrigued by the beautiful girl in the gatehouse. But will he risk his plans—and his heart—for a woman shadowed by scandal?

Quality of language

The development of the story was good and the suspense at times- At times unnecessary detail that did not really move the story on

Period details and sincerity

Nothing, I found its story and characters compelling listening. Very true to the period and attitudes of the time.

A beautifully gripping story

This is a beautiful story of authenticity and love. It tells the story of redemption and hope despite adversity. It was excellently narrated!

Religious

I find it excessively irritating that Audible does not advise that books are religious in the summary.

Enjoyable listening.

Easy listening with good characters. I really liked the quotes at the beginning of the chapters. I found myself constantly extending the listening time as I was enjoying the story.

14 hours listening that would have been ideally condensed into 7

The story was a decent one, but oh my, did it drag on. I remember looking at the time counter on my Audible, with still 3 hours left. It was far too long and meandering with too much unnecessary detail. I wanted to box Mariah's ears in on many occasions. To say she was supposed to be bright, she made some weird choices. Sadly this author isn't to my HR palate. I much prefer a meatier storyline with much more pace.
