Publisher's summary

Marianne Daventry will do anything to escape the boredom of Bath and the amorous attentions of an unwanted suitor. So when an invitation arrives from her twin sister, Cecily, to join her at a sprawling country estate, she jumps at the chance. Thinking she’ll be able to relax and enjoy her beloved English countryside while her sister snags the handsome heir of Edenbrooke, Marianne finds that even the best laid plans can go awry.

From a terrifying run-in with a highwayman to a seemingly harmless flirtation, Marianne finds herself embroiled in an unexpected adventure filled with enough romance and intrigue to keep her mind racing. Will Marianne be able to rein in her traitorous heart, or will a mysterious stranger sweep her off her feet? Fate had something other than a relaxing summer in mind when it sent Marianne to Edenbrooke.

LOVED this one! Good clean romance!

If you could sum up Edenbrooke in three words, what would they be?

Good clean romance

What did you like best about this story?

I loved the characters, and I loved that the romance was the center of the story. It was clean and well written with excellent visual descriptions and full of engagement. It made chore time a pleasure! I've listened to it twice in a week and plan to keep it forever. :)

Have you listened to any of Emily Elizabeth Hamilton’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not. Her performance was good, and easy to listen to. If it was any complaint, it may be that I don't exactly think her voice matched the main character in my own head.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

YES!

Any additional comments?

Keep these ones coming, Audible! :)

Good story bad narration.

Story was good. Narration was not great. A little too melodramatic, breathy and distracting from the story

EDENBROOKE IS A MUST READ

Hello all, I am your average 21 year old lady and I love edenbrooke. I’ve reread it at least once a year for the past 4 years and finished it again. I love how Marianne is a unique character to the set time line and year. I love how you can see her standards in every page of the book. I love how you can see that family comes before all and being a genuine person is what matters the most. If you are questioning to listen or read this lovely book I’d say give it a chance! You will not regret it!

True regency book that is clean, romantic and full of mystery. I have listened to it over and over. I love the way the characters all intertwine.

Love the narration and the characters!

What made the experience of listening to Edenbrooke the most enjoyable?

I love the interaction between Marianne and Sir Philip. I enjoyed the story line. I especially liked the narration. The narrator did a wonderful job with the male character voices.

my favorite regency book!!

I absolutely love everything about this book! Donaldson has only written two books and I have love both. Maryanne (the main character) is so easy to love and not weak like a lot of regency female character are protested to be.

enjoyable but predictable

I enjoyed the story, but found it predictable. I also didn't love the narrator--her voice made it more difficult for me to like the main character.
