More to the story is revealed in this fourth book to Davenport House. Nellie Whitmore is accustomed to life as a carefree heiress, but her claim to the family fortune is at risk because of a new heir.

Any additional comments?

The story continues! This time Mary's friend Nelly was the focus in the first part of the book and the main characters are visited in the second part. I had to listen to this book in one sitting to find out how it will turn out. This story is reminiscent of Upstairs/Downstairs and Downton Abbey. I have totally enjoyed this series and look forward to continuing it.

Now hear this!

This was a promo. That has nothing to do with my voluntary review. I will leave a review on Goodreads. I loved the excitement and adventure, also the romance. Can't wait to hear the rest of the series. I have fallen in love with the characters. I recommend you enjoy this story(s).

Looking forward to book 5!

I almost listened to this book in one sitting, it’s that good! The story continues with Mary’s friend, Nelly, on her way to London aboard the RMS Lusitania…

Allyson Voller did an excellent job narrating this story. She has a very clear and pleasant voice. If pauses between paragraphs were a bit longer, the narration would be perfect!

I received this audio-book free for an honest review by the author, narrator, or publisher. Thank you!!!

I'd love to see more of Nellie

This book was a refreshing change of pace. I loved hearing Nellie's perspective because I was dying to know how she survived certain events in a previous book, and what happened to her after those events. I really hope we get even more of her story in future books.

There is never a dull moment

We find out why Miss Whitmore had head to England, and also what the voyage was like.
William and Mary set a date, but certain issues arise that threaten their happiness.
We also loose one of the main characters, which causes a lot of grief.
There is a lot more to this tale, but telling it all would spoil a good yarn.
