Romance of the Ruin

The Branwell Chronicles, Book 2

By: Judith Hale Everett

Narrated by: Clare Wille

The ruined manor promised her romance, but its master was maddeningly elusive.

Prey to gothic sensibilities, Miss Lenora Breckinridge is smitten with the air of tragedy and romance surrounding an abandoned mansion. Convinced that she is fated to become its mistress, she sets out to find the master, secure in the belief that he will fall madly in love with her and they will use her fortune to restore the manor together.

Mr. James Ingles is disillusioned by the short hand fate has continually dealt him, but goes to be caretaker to the ruined mansion in a last effort to seek his fortune. When he discovers Miss Breckinridge's fascination with the ruin, however, he recognizes an opportunity to get the better of fate, if only he can play his cards right.

I love this series!

These books are engaging. They barrel along, keeping one’s interest. Well done! Very literate. Some of the best writing in the 21st century.

One of the worst books I’ve purchased

If there was ever a time I regretted spreading a credit, this is it! Romance of the Ruin was anything but interesting, romantic or clever.
