A captain seeking to repair the past and the daughter of a fallen gentleman, searching for a treasure that will change their lives forever.

The end of the Napoleonic wars comes as a relief to Caspar Graysmark, but before he can settle into the comfortable life of an English lord he has a duty to the people of France. A treasure lies hidden in the heart of the forest, stolen gold that would save the lives of many who lost everything during the war. In his quest, Caspar stumbles across a hidden cottage in the woods, and a different sort of treasure altogether.

Scarlett, living with her sister and grandmother, belongs nowhere. Her father’s mistakes led to their exile from England and their banishment into the forest. The cold winter months have taken their toll on Scarlett’s spirits and her grandmother’s health. The Englishman who arrives at Scarlett’s door, looking more like a bear than a captain of the British army, reminds her of all she lost to the war.

With winter drawing to a close, Caspar must find the missing gold, but his quest to right the wrongs of war has changed. Can Scarlett let him rescue her, too?

The Captain and Miss Winter is based on the story of Snow White and Rose Red, as recorded by the Brothers Grimm. It is a sweet/clean romance novella, and is Book 2 in a series of Regency retellings. The stories can be heard in any order.

My thoughts on this book:

• I liked that Casper had honor, kindness, and commitment. He was on a quest to find French loot that had been lost, so he could give it to the poor people of France to make their lives better.
• Casper and Scarlett were such kind characters. You wanted them to fall in love with each other.
• The writer's words painted clear pictures that helped me to visualize the scenes and the emotions of the characters. I felt like I was a part of those scenes.
• The author's writing style was concise vivid, and clear.
• The narrator did an excellent job of bringing this story to life.
• I really enjoyed this short novella. It was such a warm, sweet romance.

At my request, I was given a free copy of this audiobook from the author. I have voluntarily left my review and my opinions were my own.

When love comes knocking...

The Captain and Miss Winter is a sweet historical romance novella full of snowy weather and worm feelings that will melt your heart away.

Scarlet Winter lived in a small cottage in the middle of the French forest with her grandmother and her sister Blanche.

Their home was very humble, and they farmed for survival without any servants.

One snowy and stormy night, a man knocked at their door, asking for shelter. He was a Captain in the English army named Casper.

The Napoleonic wars had just ended, and Casper had returned to France to find a box that he left behind during the war.

The women gave him shelter, and he soon realized that, despite their poverty, they were educated English ladies. The mystery of their situation puzzled him.

The audiobook was very well narrated, and I especially liked how Scarlet's French accent was portrayed.

The story has all the elements that I love: an honorable hero, a smart and caring heroine, strong side characters, a slow-burn romance, and a real sense of companionship and family.

The audio (3 hours) length is also perfect because you can listen to it in one sitting or during a short trip.

I've read a few other books by Mrs. Briton, and I love her romantic and sweet stories.

The Captain and Mis Winter is a lovely historical romance novella about hard times and finding the strength to keep going.

I received a code for this audiobook from the author for an honest review.

I loved this book. The characters were all likable and developed. The story line was interesting and enjoyable. The narrator was AWESOME. I loved her accent and her voice was soothing. I’m usually not a fan of novellas since I feel they’re too rushed but with this one I felt like I didn’t miss out on much with it being shorter than other books. Everything was wrapped up nicely although I hope the author will write a sequel and tell her sisters story.

I hadn't heard of the fairy tale this book was based on, but once I looked it up I could see how it was similar as Casper appears like a bear with his fur coat asking for shelter from the snow storm and Scarlett and Blanche are the sisters who live with their grandmother. Like the fairy tale there is gold and a bad man involved. Both Caspar and the girls had to give up the comfort of wealth and prosperity for difficult lives, he as a soldier and they living in poverty in a cottage. This was a clean romance with plenty of suspense.

I loved the narrator who had a smooth rhythm to her reading with nice and funny inflections and a lovely British accent.

I have loved all of the books I have read of Sally Britton’s. And this Audible version of The Captain and Miss Winter is no exception. The performer spoke very clearly with enough rhythm to allow me time to digest the story. The story itself is a beautiful historical romance that played out nice and easily but kept my interest peaked enough that I didn’t want to stop listening to it. I listened to it nonstop till the end. And the epilogue finished with a very satisfying HEA. I can easily recommend this Audible and most definitely the book and author.

A wonderful few hours spent listening
