Publisher's summary

A traditional Regency romance, drawing room rather than bedroom.

Nell Caldicott awaits the return of her violent sailor husband with trepidation, but for once her fears are not realised. Her husband’s ship, the Brig Minerva, has sunk off the Cornish coast. Nell is free, but her husband has left her with little money and many questions about his past. Gradually, as his secrets are laid bare, she realises she didn’t know her husband at all. Can she uncover the truth? And can she ever learn to trust a man with her heart again?

Nathan Harbottle is on a quest to find his missing cousin, but the tragic wife of the Minerva’s captain attracts him more than he cares to admit. He wants to help, but he’s powerless to intervene. However, their lives are destined to collide in unexpected ways, and his resolve to be nothing more than a friend to the beautiful widow is sorely tested. Can he set aside his own past and convince her to take a chance on love?

This is a complete story with a HEA.

Ok

The story was ok, if not too drawn out. If I had to hear about her not being able to drink a cup of tea again I was going to scream. The heroine was very spoiled and didn’t seem to learn much from her all too brief a stint of being penniless.
But most niggling was the narrator. Her voice was far,far too old for the main character and I didn’t like how she voiced our hero at all. Get ready to hear her swallow saliva every 30 seconds. Obviously, we all do that, but I’ve never heard it so loud in an audible book before. And once you hear it the first time you’ll hear them all. :(

Not That Great

This book focused a lot on money and status. instead of romance. The hero was sweetheart.
