    Widows of Somerset
    Timeless Regency Collection Book 15
    Written by Rebecca Connolly, Jen Geigle Johnson, and Heather B. Moore
    Text copyright 2020 by Mirror Press, LLC
    Production copyright 2020 by Mirror Press, LLC
    Rules of the Secret Society of Young Widows:
    Rule 1: Be a widow.
    Rule 2: Have an impeccable reputation.
    Rule 3: Don't fall in love again.
    AN HEIR TO SPARE by Rebecca Connolly
    Widowhood has changed much for Anna-Lady Lyndham-but an unconventional heir to the estate was not something she had anticipated. Nor had she anticipated that he would have no intention of forcing her out, although he has every right to. And she certainly did not anticipate finding him handsome, charming, and unfailingly generous. But Ned Richards, the new Lord Lyndham, has a world of surprises in store for her, and not anticipating them will become quite the adventure.
    THE WIDOW OF LAVENDER COTTAGE by Jen Geigle Johnson
    As a widow, Lillian Hunter has never been in love and plans to never marry again, so the rules of the Secret Society of Young Widows suit her just fine. Her days are spent attempting to transform her newly inherited Lavender Cottage into a livable space until Oliver Wentworth shows up, asking for her late husband. Anxious to establish himself as a landed gentry in Somerset, Oliver is none too pleased to discover that a widow lives alone in a tiny run down cottage bordering his new property. The fact that she’s young and attractive only adds frustration to his sense of responsibility over her. And confound her, she challenges his every attempt to help manage her affairs.
    A PROMISE FORGOTTEN by Heather B. Moore
    Charlotte Ashford never thought she’d marry a vicar, and she never thought she’d find herself widowed with a young child to care for on her own. She certainly never thought she’d return to Somerset to live with her mother again, and Charlotte never thought she’d see him again. But Lord Wilshore has never forgotten her, and he has never forgotten their promise made long ago. Charlotte would love nothing more than for Lord Wilshore to forgive her, but too much heartache and too much time might make that impossible. Friendship is all she can hope for, but that hope may be dashed as well.

    I'm very grateful for these widow stories. While I'm not a widow myself, I'm mourning the death of a friend and these stories bring me comfort.

    I really enjoyed this one. Kim Bretton narrates so much better than Sarah Zimmermna who did the earlier collection and mispronounced a lot of words. The only problem with the last story was that a peer must have been missing for at least 7 years before he could have been declared dead and the title would have gone to the next man in line. So that whole legal business with the cousin would not really have happened. I know this is fiction, but still the facts should be accurate in my view

    Upon the Dubious Art of Destructing Admirable Efforts and Successfully Repelling Even the Most Loyal of Viewers:
    Interrupt with ads literally every 2 minutes! Ideally in mid-sentence.
    Alas, neither tale nor language nor narrator are compelling enough to engage the staunch believer of rewarding the author's efforts, by allowing the ads to run, for more than one hour. But maybe you don't care😢.

    • @heatherbmoore
      @heatherbmoore  Рік тому +1

      Oh, sorry, I don't have control over the number of UA-cam ads--that's from UA-cam, not me. I looked it up, and it's average for an ad to play every 7-8 minutes. I don't know if there are exceptions or not. But I started listening to this last night and got about 15 minutes in and still didn't have any ads interruptions, then I ran out of time to monitor it. I know there are ads right at the beginning, but I haven't tracked when they pop up during the audiobook.

    • @SallyLong-zh4bc
      @SallyLong-zh4bc Рік тому +2

      Hi Heather, the amount of ads differ according to the viewer's viewing history and location (I'm in Europe). Actually, I did time the intervals, too: 29 ad breaks by 01:01h comes up to an average of 1 ad break every 2 minutes. There were 4-minute ad-free intervals. And also 1-minute intervals. As a journalist, I do believe in paying for content. But when the viewing or listening pleasure is mangled because of penetrating advertisement, I feel aggravated and normally just give up. My reaction to your upload was a first.
      You know, you yourself can define when and which ads are shown. Set timestamps at the end of chapters and allow one ad. Of course, don't go overboard and hack up your novel into 30+ mini-chapters just to fit in even more ads. You probably set automatic mid-roll ad placements. This video explains how to go about setting the timestamps manually : ua-cam.com/video/8Vbm0b26kng/v-deo.html. Hope this helps.@@heatherbmoore

    • @heatherbmoore
      @heatherbmoore  Рік тому +1

      Ok I’ll see what I can do. I knew that ads can be timestamped but I didn’t know I could select the number of ads. I thought they had to be either completely on or off. Thanks for the info!

    • @heatherbmoore
      @heatherbmoore  Рік тому +3

      @@SallyLong-zh4bc I went in and saw that UA-cam had stacked all the ads in the first hour. So I deleted about 2/3 of the ads, and then spread out the rest. Then I did the same for all the other audio books. I hope that creates a better listening experience. Thanks for the extra info.
