I'm doing my happy dance here!!! I had hoped there would be more from MsHathaway! A very bright & upbeat Authoress who's a rare talent for storytelling in these modern days! Nowadays, everybody puts so much smut in the story,it ruins the content altogether!!! I love these clean,wholesome stories! When you're done,you replay it right back,just to relive the adventure! These two are in my Favorites Cache!!! I can't wait for more! TYSM!!!
Just finished listening to this beautiful audio 📚. Enjoyed all the interesting characters. Enjoyed 🎧 because I can do other things while listening. Thank you.
Your style of writing is great!!! I love the subtle plot twists / delivery of details. However what has caused me to comment is one of the excellently timed ambient sounds. At 33:30 right after mr hawkins is introduced the seagulls go off and I thought it was a crowd cheering😂 Thank you so much for these stories.
This story has put me through quite the rollercoaster of emotions. So much so, that would snap at anyone who would dare to interrupt my listening 😅😅😅 (Sorry, my dear husband. Never come between a hopless romantic and a wonderful romance novel) Well, needless to say I LOVED it. And the first book too 😊. Loved the little cameo of the heroes from the first book, in there, too ❤.
really appreciate you uploading another audiobook 🥹 i was so excited when i got a notif for a new upload! this novel made my heart flutter so. a cute amount of tension and desire between sophia and frederick 🫶 the story also reminded me a little bit of emma this was a much lighter novel than golowduyn, but i enjoyed it all the same. you’re quickly becoming one of my fave authors from this genre! p.s. i was also delighted to see that this is in the same world as the kendricks
Aww your comment made my day. Thank you! I'm so glad you're enjoying the series. Be sure to check out Book 3 which is even closer related in the world!
I'm hooked on this beautiful series. You really write for and from the heart it's so lovely to listen to and yes the narrator nailed it with the reading of another beautiful story. Thanks for sharing ❤going to start listening to the next one as soon as possible 😊
I'm only 3 hours in, but I'm really liking this story! A lot! A refreshingly original main female character! She's a brat, but I'm loving her! And the story. 4:28:14
I’m getting my masters in creative writing because I want to teach composition. I grew up reading Jane Austen and I loved your first novel and can’t wait to listen to this one! I plan to get your whole set for my classroom in the future. ❤
I adored Book 1 so I am looking forward so much to book 2. The book so far is a nice snap shot of the foolishness of that era in how some of the 'have's' truely seemed to generally live in a world of how superior they were and 'SO' above the lesser folk ( who did most of their work for pittance) . A nice little story of how to find oneself and be more humble no matter how fortunate one finds oneself. Pride and foolishness usually gets tripped up. Looking forward to book 3 too. 😊
I always look to see if someone mentions that a book is clean or not, so I know if I want to listen. I do appreciate that this book was clean. I can recommend it to anyone.
I'm telling you, if a man who felt he loved me but constantly diminished my character in his mind at the drop of a hat, I'd be out of there. I do want to visit Cornwall now, though.
Really enjoyed this book. Thank you. One point for the narrator is that, when pronouncing the names of the mines, the emphasis is on the second word. Wheal FORTUNE, Wheal JANE, Wheal MARTYN, the same way we say Mr JONES, Mr THOMAS. It might help in any further books.
Thanks so much for the comment! The narrator has spent many years living in Cornwall herself, so I'm certain her pronunciation in some locations was just her interpretation of the scene. Thank you so much for listening! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
i really liked the premise but felt the main characters's development was very superficial. It really could have used more angst. she realized her mistakes way too fast with little trouble, just like him. the premise allowed to discuss things like how women had a small sense of worth and if you removed good circumstances a woman could quickly become impoverished, even being vulnerable to evil proposal from men around her....he was pretty arrogant and presumptuous as well. didnt see much groveling there....
I completely agree. He was extremely arrogant in his own way, just like Sophia! I like to believe that they both continue to work on being more humble and realizing that they both need to change for the better. ;)
Ok, but no!! I know that all these regency romances rely on the misunderstanding/jumping to conclusions trope, but the reasoning of the ML in this story borders on stupidity and his rudeness feels like abuse sometimes . He does not deserve a ”happy ending” - but unfortunately FL”s happy ending depends on him.
I absolutely see where you're coming from. Frederick is super hard sometimes on Sophia! Sometimes justified, sometimes not. Which was exactly why he needed a little humbling of his own before he got his happy ending. ;)
Sorry what? Her laughter reminded him of church bells? That is quite a laugh. Not sure if I would like to "hear that again". Sorry, but can't get past that. 🤷🏻♀️ I grew up rural. With church bells. I can't stop laughing at that comparison. Just no. 😅
I can totally see how annoying that would be! Hopefully you were able to imagine something that worked better for you then. ;) As for myself, I'd never heard church bells before, so when I went to England for the first time and also heard the bells for the first time, it was the jolly sound and incredibly joyous feeling they invoked that has stuck with me for years! And that was exactly how Frederick felt listening to Sophia. He must not have grown up around them like you did! ;)
@@authordeborahmhathaway lol. Yeah. We had bells going off every day at noon and in May in the evenings as well, for weddings and for funerals. Bavaria has a LOT of churches lol church bells are loud. They are fun, but loud. I must say, I kinda miss them though since moving away and not hearing them any longer at all. It was more of a comfort than a joyous feeling for me, I guess. Just the feeling of routine, of community. I no longer go to church, or believe, so maybe that has put me off a bit as well. I am always weary when there are religious connotations anywhere. My own hangups. Doesn't make a book good or bad.
@@sidewalkpirate23 I agree with that, they are crazy loud. haha That would be intense hearing them so often. Sorry the mention was off-putting for you, though! I can totally understand why. I hope you get to hear them again one day! That'd be hard to move away. ❤
@@authordeborahmhathaway i think I have to make it clear. It's just me personally. It was not supposed to be a reflection on the rest of the book. ❤️ wishing you the very best and thank you for sharing your work and your talents with everyone so freely. I think it is very generous of you. I think I should have put that in my iriginal comment. I am not sure why I didn't. I apologise.
@@sidewalkpirate23 There's no need to apologize, but thank you! You're so kind. We're all completely entitled to our opinions, and I appreciate yours!

I'm just grateful for you listening and taking the time to comment again! I love sharing my books with people who appreciate them like you, so thank you again!
I am only 27 minutes in but I was looking foreward to book two in this series but is this just about a silly rich spoiled beauty meeting a silly handsome man and lots of nonsense???
@@authordeborahmhathawayI am😅 your one of the best but this book lack on the story line. Just hope he dont fall in love with the spoiled lady, then I will quit again 😂
Sorry, this second book which often is harder to write than the eminent first in your series( why a series..?) I read thousands of books and this one is sadly not good. Best of luck wity number three 😊❤ Bet many will love this book also. Just did not give me anything. But the first is so good that I look forrward to it. Big time😊
That’s only toward the beginning portion of the book. The further you listen, the less frequent the ads. I’m 8 hours in and can’t remember the last time I was interrupted with an ad.
It’s so good to have a human narrator. Thank you.
This narrator is the reason I love to listen to historical romance.

Vicki-Jo Eva's narration captures the petulant Sophia Rosewall beautifully.

Narrator too close to the microphone. Lots of mouth noises... makes it hard to understand.
So sorry to hear that!
This story is nothing like the 1st. The characters are twits and fluff. What a disappointment when the author is capable writing an interesting book.
*THANK YOU*
Thank you for listening!
