Satisfying

What a lovely story! There was a lot of tension… both romantic and emotional, without being spicy or crude. I loved the ways the Rebels found to alleviate suffering and I also loved the satisfyingly happy ending!

It was so fun!

The performance and comedy timing was absolutely spot on. Love the series! I knew the matchmaking mammas were also behind this one!

Enjoyed the narrators!

Fun banter, sweet romance, excellent narration. Enjoyed the book a lot. Highly recommend this fun read

Best historical romance I've listened to in a while!

The story was so good! The sweet, vicar hero was simply wonderful. The heroine was one of the most enjoyable blue-stocking type characters that I've read in HR. The conflict made sense to the characters without being frustrating or outlandish. I love the whole series, but this was probably my favorite of the four.

The story was made even better with Mary Jane Wells's phenomenal talent. I really enjoyed the male narrator as well. You can't go wrong with these two talented readers!

excellent narrator

Charming and funny with a touch of Ann of Geen Gables. No one had green hair but some good contenders. Quick read and enjoyable.
