Publisher's summary

True love is for fairy tales. At least that is what Miss Hannah Knight believes. Her formative years were filled with difficulties, but she carries one memory with her always—even through the darkest times. The summer she spent at Manchester Castle where she started to dream of a happily-ever-after in the arms of the man who holds her heart.

War has left Garrick Edwards cynical. He never expected to inherit the title and become the Earl of Manchester, but his brother drank himself into an early grave leaving a daughter behind and a mountain of debt. Reluctantly, he returns to his ancestral home. When he arrives he finds Hannah there. Her letters during the war had given him hope when there was none; however he doesn’t believe he deserves her love.

As they rekindle their friendship they find hope they thought they’d both lost. In the bottom of their hearts they cling to that hope and start to wonder if some dreams can come true. The question is will they be brave enough to reach for them.

The Earl’s Girl ... If They'll Admit It

As suggested by the clever title, the heroine of this story fell for the hero when she was quite young and he was just an earl's spare. Even at their young ages, he found her intriguing and intelligent, quite unlike other females of his acquaintance. He went off to war after his brother married, and though he never responded to her, her missives from home buoyed him during difficult times overseas. The hero's brother manages to die without providing an heir, so the hero returns home after the war, new to the title and its responsibilities. He was most surprised to literally run into the heroine's carriage. She's had to flee from the man who has taken over her father's title after he cast her out suddenly. (By the way, this plot thread was not tied up satisfactorily at the end. I would have loved to have seen him get a comeuppance!) The hero's mother is her godmother; her estate is the most logical place to go.

Most of the story is about them fighting their feelings for each other, while neither discloses how they feel. They both feel deeply for each other, but neither is willing to risk being the first to say it. A night of forced proximity changes things for them; for a sheltered miss, she was far too willing to get intimate so quickly, especially with no promises between them for a further relationship. I just don't think that was the done thing in the Regency era (or at least not as common as it is in contemporarily written Regency romance! Things look lost for a bit (naturally!) until things turn around … which they did on a dime. Things move swiftly after that for them. The book has some other interesting characters, especially some fairly unpleasant ones, like the hero's mother and the one his mom wants him to marry … someone much like herself! The earl also has a friend who seems to have lost his way; I imagine the author has written a book about him that I will have to discover. Aside from a bobble here and there, I found this an immensely enjoyable listen.

Sweet sweet love story

Such a sweet love story of a fairy tale that comes true. Great characters, great story in a lovely setting. Hannah is one of my favorite female characters. She strong and true to herself despite the hardships she has faced. She’s calm under pressure and confident enough to take charge of her own future. Garrick is dream worthy, no wonder Hannah fell in love with at first sight and carried that love for years. Great story I definitely recommend this story

Regency Cinderella Mates

In this simply enjoyable Regency fairytale, Hannah Knight spends a delightful childhood summer at Manchester Castle. At 26, her parents dead, she flees back to that castle, and encounters Garrick Edward's, who struggles with his unexpectedly inherited a title and the wounds of military service. Fun book.

Narrator is good, but her consonants are not distinct so I had to slow down speech rate for more comprehension.

Definitely interested in hearing more

I was given a free copy of this audiobook for an honest review.

I love historical romance stories, and this one fit the bill. I’m a big fan of Dawn Brower as well.

Story:

I could easily have seen this story written as a novel, instead of a short story. Either way, it held my attention the entire time. Is there a part 2 to this story? Based on the way the ending was (Garrick wanting to go off to find his friend), the author made it sound as though there could be.

I was so hoping that there would be a different ending at least regarding how Lady Corrin was so sure that Garrick would ask her to marry him. She was definitely a bitchy character that I feel needed to be put in her place. I think it would have been funny had Garrick told Lady Corrin that he needed to discuss something with her, only to turn around and tell her that it was time for her to go home because he was marrying Hannah.

Narrator:

This was the first time I’ve listened to this narrator. While she did a great job the majority of the story, there was an issue with the first 10+ minutes. I don’t know what the issue was exactly, but the best way to describe it is as follows:

She’d get to the last word of the sentence,

The second the last syllable (from the last word) was out of her mouth,

She would pause the recording or stop it.

This left a very stunted speech or way of reading the story. It was really annoying at first, and I wasn’t sure if I would even be able to continue the story. Thankfully, the issue stopped, and all was well.

Loved it from the plot to the narration

What a charming, fun, exciting romance that really broke my heart the way Hannah by her cousin but Garrick comes through that is after he knocks her out of her carriage. He becomes over protective and demands she stays in bed to get well. She goes nuts and breaks the rules what follows is a delightful romance that really touches the soul.

Ms. Hale’s narration is wonderful she has a lovely accent that really pulls you in. Her male and female voices are lovely, you always know who is talking and just what they are feeling. There are no repeats of words, no background noise or any volume changes. She gives a very thrilling narration right down to the hurt and pain of one evil cousin and the man who lives to protect her. She puts a lot of emotion into the characters you have no trouble seeing the scenes in your mind as it holds you attention. I thought her performance was wonderful. She really brings the story to life. I am really looking forward to listening to more of her work.

I thought the author really put time and thought into bring you a delightful story that steals your heart. I loved the characters, the plot was wonderful and the ending a delight that I didn’t want to end. I can’t wait to listen to more of this series.

This is a review of narrator!

I never got to see if the book was good....
I noticed I had downloaded this book but never heard it, so I downloaded it again. I noticed that I had heard three minutes of it, and was confused until I hit play. I made it three minutes.

Now, I'm a VERY tolerant listener... but this is SO bad that its hard to follow. The narrator has such a serious speech impediment that it's near to impossible to understand some of her slurred, under enunciated babble. I couldn't do it. to talk to someone who speaks that way ok. To listen to them for hours as they mangle every other word is unacceptable!

BAD is an understatement.
Which sucks because I was truly interested in the book.
