Divine

House of Oak, Book 2

By: Nichole Van

Narrated by: Shiromi Arserio

Georgiana Knight-born in the nineteenth century, but now living in 2013-has certain standards when it comes to mysteries: they must involve blood curdling threats, late-night rendezvous, and the terror of Imminent Danger. So far, her current mystery has been a terrible disappointment. No ghosts, no dastardly villains, not even an actual murder weapon. Just a suspicious symbol, a drawing of a bloody dagger, and an old love letter. Though the centuries-old love letter is written in her own handwriting, so that's something, right? And there is a time portal in her cellar. Should she risk giving up hot showers and return to the past to discover the mysterious stranger who inspired (will inspire?) her passionate letter?

In 1813, Sebastian Carew has his own mystery to solve. As a teenager, he fell madly in love with his childhood friend, Georgiana. Ten years later, he returns from fighting abroad as an eligible man of fortune who must marry. And soon. He is determined to fend off fortune-hunting women, find Georgiana, and win her affections. However, she has utterly vanished. Can he divine the truth of her disappearance and convince her to marry him before time runs out?

One of my favorites!

I love this series! I have read it several times over the past few years and was so excited to see that FINALLY the audiobooks of books 2-5 are being produced. I seriously did a happy dance!

Nichole Van is one of my favorite authors and I love reading and listening to her books. These stories are creative, entertaining, intriguing and clean - a tough combination to pull off for 5 books in a row, 6bit Nichole makes it look effortless. So grateful for great stories that I look forward to revisiting time and again. 😄

Love this series!

Like the previous reviewer, I've read this series a number of times and was thrilled to see book 2 in audio format! Nicole Van's books are witty and fun and have some of the best characters. I love her writing and find myself chuckling when reading or listening to the wonderful dialog. I'll be waiting, not so patiently, for book 3.
