The Suspect's Daughter

Regency Romance: Rogue Hearts, Book 4

By: Donna Hatch

Narrated by: Gwyn Olson

Determined to help her father with his political career, Jocelyn sets aside dreams of love. When she meets the handsome and mysterious Grant Amesbury, her dreams of true love reawaken. But his secrets put her family in peril.

Grant goes undercover to capture conspirators avowed to murder the prime minister, but his only suspect is the father of a courageous lady who is growing increasingly hard to ignore. He can’t allow Jocelyn to distract him from the case, nor will he taint her with his war-darkened soul. She seems to see past the barriers surrounding his heart, which makes her all the more dangerous to his vow of remaining forever alone.

Jocelyn will do anything to clear her father's name, even if that means working with Grant. Time is running out. The future of England hangs in the balance...and so does their love.

This is romantic tale of a wounded warrior and the strong and courageous woman who sees through his protective shell to the broken-hearted man underneath. Sprinkled liberally with suspense, mystery, and heart-melting kisses, as well as learning to overcome heartbreak and love again. Fans of Victorian and Regency Eras as well as those seeking clean and wholesome romance with plenty of chemistry will love this story!

*sigh*

Hatch always manages to wring out so much emotion in her books! Poor Grant! We've seen him in the stories of the other brothers, so we know he's got some kind of inner demon. Seeing him in action is quite the eyeopener. But what a good heart the man has in spite of the things he's done and still isn't afraid to do.

But Jocelyn's sweet heart is just what he needs to soften his rough edges. But after the betrayal by a woman he loved, he's got to trust first.

The narrator Gwyn Olson was adequate.

Narrator takes you out of the story...

This story would have been a lot better if it had been delivered better. Often I found myself experiencing the same level of performance and conversational intonation as a high school student reading Shakespeare. The words were said, but barely, and oddly spoken around a retainer. This impacted my enjoyment of the story more than I wanted. With a different reader, I think it would have been a pretty good story!
